My friends & I had the girls getaway trip last Thursday. After visiting the Young's & Villa Toscano vineyards in Shenandoah, Plymouth and Bella Grace wine tasting in Sutter Creek, we called the day. We proceeded checking in at the Hotel Sutter to stay overnight. It was our first time staying here in Sutter Creek. The hotel and restaurant have a charming old town vibe. We did not have any reservation on Thursday night. We got the table by the window for four of us. The restaurant looked cozy to unwind after our long day driving from San Francisco and visiting vineyards. Our server was Robert. He brought us cold glasses of water as it was a hot day. He opened our bottle of red wine that a friend brought from home. He was helpful answering our questions about the menu. We ordered Watermelon Fresca Salad, Crab Prawn Louie and Bacon Jam Burger that Robert recommended. The food was served promptly. We started eating as we were hungry and enjoying the food. Robert was thoughtful, attentive and sweet and making sure our table had all we needed. We said the burger was moist and delicious. The way each ordered was absolutely delicious until one friend who was 1/3 eating her Crab Prawn Louie salad discovered a blond strand hair sitting on the plate. She notified Robert and he took her plate. He said he will remove the salad from the bill. I shared my fries with my friend as the burger was filling me up. Later Robert gave our friend a sundae dessert and she shared it with us. The bill came and as promised by Robert my friend was not charged. She gave him a good tip though. The service and ambiance were lovely. If we are visiting Sutter Creek, we would be happy to return again.

What a great spot!!! We were seated right away & given ice cold water which was fantastic on this hot day!!!! We ordered ice tea as well & it was freshly brewed. Also, came in a mason jar which I LOVE!!!! My daughter & I decided 2 split an order of their Brussel sprouts (w/ lemon aioli, bacon & Parmesan) & the ultimate BLAT!!! The BLAT came on toasted sliced sourdough, w/ a garlic aioli lettuce, tomato, avocado, & SPROUTS!!! I LOVE SPROUTS on sammiches!!! It also came w/ French fries. The brussel sprouts was a huge amount & it was garlicky!!!! Delish!!! The BLAT had this freshness thanks 2 the produce especially the tomato!!! The French fries needed seasoning & wished they were a little more crispy, but still a decent fry. The ambiance was perfect 4 the daytime, had a tiny light on the table & the chairs were comfy. My coworker suggested this spot & it was a great recommendation!!!!

December 11, 2025 - Sutter Creek, CA Stepping inside feels like taking a step back in time--the ambiance hits you right away. We did have to wait a few minutes before being greeted, but it was early and lunch service seemed to be just getting underway. We ordered the French Dip to share, and for an extra $5 they plated it as two full meals, which I always appreciate. They also had some festive specialty cocktails, so I tried the Jack Frost mule. It came out a beautiful blue, was nicely ginger-forward, and absolutely delicious. The French Dip was very good as well--the bread was soft, and the meat was tender. Overall, it was a relaxed and enjoyable lunch, and we'd happily stop in again.

The Sutter Hotel had a NYE four course meal to ring in the New Year with a beautiful singer tribute to 1957, cost $79 each. I had the shrimp scampi and my husband had the chicken both dishes were superb!! We started with the shrimp cocktail each and the split pea soup and finished with the Upside down pineapple cake. It was a huge piece. I couldn't eat all of mine. The singer had a beautiful voice, she looked so elegant and it was a tribute to 1957. They gave you a card to answer trivia questions from 1957. Neither of us were born yet so we had to use google. It was a fun thing to do. I'm so glad we took the opportunity to go to the Hotel and afterward we went downstairs to the speakeasy to ring in the New year in Sutter Creek. We live in Sparks, NV so it was nice to get out of town and do something different.

My husband and I were celebrating one of our several anniversaries and didn't want to go to Sacramento for the evening. Hotel Sutter Restaurant has been on my list of places to check out in our neck of the woods for a while. We for sure wanted a classy place that served cocktails, and Hotel Sutter fit the bill. Both of us were also craving a good craft burger, and from what I saw in other reviews, the burgers looked delicious. I made a reservation for us on OpenTable just in case, but since it was a weeknight I wasn't too concerned if we had walked in. We were seated nearly immediately, and our server cheerfully asked us what we wanted to drink besides good ole H2O. I was really glad we came to visit around Christmastime, since they were serving holiday cocktails and other beverages. I went with the partridge pear martini, while my husband went with the Santa's spiced cider. My martini was oh so delicious and perfectly strong, and I had a small sip of my husband's cider, which was refreshing with the perfect holiday-esque notes. We read a few mixed reviews on the apps, so went straight to the entrees instead. I chose the bacon jam burger and my husband chose the traveller whiskey burger. Both of us upgraded to the garlic rosemary seasoning. I went with fries and my husband went with tots. Honestly, we were glad that we didn't end up ordering an app, since the burgers themselves were pretty filling! We both asked for medium on the cook temp of our patties, and they delivered. The meat was perfectly juicy with a wonderful charred flavor. The bacon jam was so delicious, and the balsamic arugula paired perfectly with everything. My brioche bun was pillowy and yet did not fall apart with all the juices of the burger. I did not get a chance to try my husband's burger, but he stated that it was also top notch. My fries were piping hot, with a perfect dusting of garlic rosemary flavor and sprinkles of Parmesan cheese. I tried a tot and that was also delightfully crispy and flavorful. We asked for ranch and that went well with both sides. The ketchup was great as well. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Old buildings are always up my alley, and the rich history of Hotel Sutter can truly be felt simply by touching its brick walls (that is, if you believe in the spirit realm). I loved that each table had its own light, but the restaurant had the perfect dim setting for a classy date night. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and kept our waters refilled. We had a concern regarding the pricing of the cider on the bill vs on the menu and that was fixed immediately, with the rest of the staff notified for future reference. It was a tiny discrepancy, but one that we caught quickly and simply wanted to bring up. Hotel Sutter Restaurant is definitely on our places to return to in the future, and I'd love to sit on the balcony some other time and enjoy some brunch and mimosas. If you're looking for an excuse for date night or are just feeling fancy, definitely come relax, sip some delicious cocktails, and enjoy the delicious food Hotel Sutter Restaurant has to offer!

After a day tasting fantastic wines from the region, I needed a meal to soak up the Jesus juice flowing through my body. This historic hotel/restaurant was a short walk from my Inn. It definitely has a gold rush vibe (minus the soiled doves). The menu is broad and includes Italian, American, Asian, and Southwest dishes. I ordered the aroncini appetizer and the bacon jam burger with rosemary garlic tots. I can't pass on tots. The bacon jam was rich which definitely elevated the burger. When it came the the aroncini, the sauce was the star--very delicious. I could've licked the plate. The waitress was attentive enough that I didn't shame myself by doing that, though. I can't guarantee I won't on the next visit.

Very neat old town and this restaurant felt like history walking in. We made reservations and glad we did as it was very busy and the World Series was on the bar tv making it loud. Great menu with a lot of variety to satisfy most and reasonably priced. Also kid friendly as there were a few in attendance. Not a romantic spot due to the loudness though. I opted for a nice starter salad with steak and was pleasantly surprised by the size and it was a nice tender cut. My friends ordered salads and coconut shrimp and were equally pleased. They had some nice drinks and I opted for an Aperol plunge which had a small split in it, very refreshing after a day of wine tasting. They have outside seating on an upstairs balcony that would be fun next time in town!

Great experience! Both atmosphere & bar tender, Brandon was awesome, even gave us a tour of the super cool speak easy, who knew! Will definitely be back to visit especially for the pretzel & burger as usual & now the speak easy is a must!!

First off, it's a really cool place with a nice atmosphere. I had the Crab and Shrimp Louie and I really liked it. The dressing is very unusual for a Louie but I like it. I don't know what spice is in it but it's flavorful. My wife had the Salmon burger and really enjoyed it. Excellent flavor. Our friend had the Southwest Salad, and she said that it was good. Tons of salad! Our server was a very nice man, but he was by himself. There was a young lady that I think was supposed to help him with drinks, but you had to ask her for refills. Nice young lady but not properly trained. I blame the lack of service and the training on management.

Stopped by Hotel Sutter in Sutter Creek for brunch after the Barbera Festival in Plymouth. The hotel and restaurant have such a charming old-town vibe -definitely a cozy spot to unwind after a busy weekend. Our server was great--friendly, attentive, and helpful when we had questions about the menu. I ended up ordering the brisket hash, which wasn't quite what I expected. I've had a version at a local spot in Reno that used cubed potatoes and chunks of brisket, but this version came with shredded hash browns and shredded brisket, topped with eggs and a pretty vinegary BBQ sauce. I had asked for light sauce, but it was still a bit overpowering for me. In hindsight, I should've asked for it on the side. The dish just didn't hit the mark for me personally, and I wouldn't order it again. That said, the service and ambiance were lovely, and I'd definitely come back to try something else on the menu. I think there's still potential here, it just wasn't the right dish for me this time around.

Had such good meal a couple of days ago decided to go back for dinner! My Asian tofu salad was amazing and a Aperol plunge hit the spot! This salad was full of flavor and filling. Lots of yummy ingredients like edamame, and watermelon radish, avocado+++. Love it!

While visiting out of town I made reservations for friend and I to visit this restaurant we had been admiring it since planning our trip. It's nestled in the small town of Sutter Creek and it feels the old time feel of the time. The restaurant as a bar and you are quickly greeted once you enter. We were seated by window doors that were opened to the evening breeze. We quickly made our selection and I had a glass of sparkling wine. The menu has many options. However I was really interested in there prime rib however it's only served on the weekends. I settled with ordering a chimichurri tri-tip shaved tater tot as my appetizer with the side salad. The tater tots had a really great flavor. The chimichurri sauce was not overpowering and the potatoes came out very crispy. The side salad was a perfect side and the vinaigrette was the perfect addition. When my entree came which included a chimichurri glazed salmon with mixed vegetables and a loaded baked potato my table was full! The salmon was perfectly cooked and light and flaky. The baked potato was okay. With the evening still being young and the meal so incredible we also settled on trying dessert. I went for the apple crisp with ice cream which was really good and tasted homemade. Overall I had a really great experience and our server gave us good recommendations for a nightcap at the Speakeasy bar not far from us.

We stopped in for lunch . Our waitress was wonderful with great suggestions . We started with the Elote corn dip which was cheesy and amazing . My husband had the Traveler's whisky burger which he devoured . I had the flatbread which was tasty .

My husband and I tried the Hotel Sutter Restaurant last night for dinner. We didn't make reservations and ended up sitting at the bar for dinner. First of all, the atmosphere was great, the staff was friendly and I saw lots of smiles on patrons faces. We had such a good time chatting with Brandon! Not only is he a wonderful bartender but our dinner service by him was excellent. My husband had the lamb shank and I had the Mahi Mahi. We each had Cesar salads. The food was excellent! Brandon was very attentive making sure we had everything we needed . We asked that our dinnner not be rushed because we were having such a good time enjoying our wine and talking. A lot of the time restaurants have a hard time getting it right and our entree comes out while we are still working on the salad. I don't know how Brandon did it but the timing was perfect! All in all we had a wonderful evening. We will be back for sure! read more

We were seated immediately by a very pleasant hostess. However, we then waited...and waited...and waited for a server to acknowledge us. Many walked by, and several even looked right at us. I could see servers at other tables, and they seemed quite friendly and professional. There were two parties seated AFTER us that had servers stop by, yet there we sat. Just when I was beginning to get a complex, thinking we had broken some unknown rule, a manager came and took our order. Whew! Sadly, everything didn't go perfectly after that. We never really had a server, just random managerial types occasionally checking in. I had to flag servers / bussers down if we needed anything. It was rather bizarre. Luckily, the food, for the most part, was TERRIFIC! The poke stack appetizer was better than poke we had in Hawaii! The lamb was flavorful and fall off the bone tender. Portions were quite large, which is rare these days. The accompanying vegetables were fresh, and well prepared. The mashed potatoes were really good, even though they were lukewarm. Sadly, my salmon was a bit dry, and had less than a teaspoon of the delicious chimchurri sauce smeared on top of it. I had to flag down a server to request more sauce - as nobody checked to see that our entrees were acceptable. (I would have ordered a second glass of wine, but, alas, there was no server to request it from.) Our plates were never cleared. I had to flag a manager to request the check. All in all, I would give this restaurant another try, since the food was really good. Since I could clearly see and hear other tables receiving EXCELLENT service, I feel that the poor service we experienced was an anomaly. read more

We stayed in Sutter Creek for the weekend and ate here twice. Once for dinner and the second time for brunch on Sunday. All I can say is YUM! The food was amazing both times. I had filet mignon the first night - it was cooked to perfection and served with asparagus and a loaded bake potato. Makes my mouth water thinking about it. In the morning we had french toast. The best french toast I have ever had! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. If you go to Sutter Creek - make a point to eat at the Hotel Sutter, you won't be disappointed. P.S.

Quintessential Sutter Creek vibe. Speakeasy feel, great menu with vegan and gluten free options, beautiful presentation of meals, full bar and accordion front doors for open feel. I ordered the impossible burger and gluten free bun (I have health issues) and they separated all other items I didn't realize had gluten like the onion rings and BBQ sauce. I can't thank them enough for being conscientious of dietary issues. I'm grateful and highly recommend this place. They have adult slushes... so next time, for sure!!

She came over and said, what's going on? We just explained to her (Danielle is her name) that nothing's going on we just want to order. So she took our order.

We've been here before the pandemic and it was excellent then. We went to Sutter Creek today for the vendor street fair and the town was packed. We stepped inside to see how the long the wait would be. The hostess told us it would be about an hour. We left our phone number and wandered around town. We came back just short of an hour and our prospects were still not looking too good. We eventually got seated upstairs on the balcony which was perfect! We had a bird's eye view if Main Street and all the goings on. My wife ordered the brisket sandwich and I ordered the Sutter burger. Both were very delicious and prepared nicely. The service was attentive and friendly. I'm glad we ended up waiting. Thanks to the hostess for seating us in a great spot and the waitress for the wonderful service! read more

4 stars only because the flies & woman manager on staff. They could install fans that could help keep those guys moving. Vornado makes retro style fans that would be ideal. And commercial ones mounted in between the indoor /outdoor area. But a few standing fans might help too as I understand the cost of commercial. Food was really great. You have to expect to pay a little more on some things because of the location. Ambience for Labor Day was perfect w/live music and the place filled up with lots of people of various ages. Now, the manager woman on duty was talking down to Mitchell as he was answering my questions about this historic hotel. He, on the other hand was very sweet and informative and made us feel welcomed. A helpful hint for the manager...instead of putting your hands on your hips standing (doing nothing) on the stairs barking at your staff... why not jump In and take the drinks to the tables?! that's what managers do! Especially when you know you are short staffed. We will definitely be back and enjoy this sweet town and the cute shops. Definitely worth the drive! read more

A few months ago we were not impressed with this restaurant but we returned tonight and were thrilled with our experience. We sat on the balcony and received excellent service from Sierra. The drinks came out quick and were delicious. The coconut prawns were perfectly cooked. Our entrees were equally yummy. My hubby loved the scallops served over a bed of herbed creamy polenta with perfectly cooked green beans. My tender stuffed gnocchi was also delicious and so rich I couldn't finish it in one setting lol. We brought carrot cake home and I can't wait to try it.

Just stopped in for a quick drink and a NFL score update. The bar is cozy and the entire wall opens up to the street, which is a nice touch for cool fall breeze and for some ambient street noise. I only order a vodka soda, but the beer selection was solid and their vine list is over 20 styles deep! We didn't order any food, but I did watch a cheese board come out and it was massive. It should be for $27! There's a dining area upstairs for more of a romantic vibe, but the bar was perfect to sip a few and watch the game. I'll be back to dominate that cheese board. read more

Having had a fabulous chicken pot pie at Hotel Sutter a couple of years ago, we decided to take a drive down today to have that for lunch. Making a long story short, we decided to share one as we remembered that it was large and very generous with a delicious flaky crust and loaded with chicken. What we got was a "Barbie" size pie with hard crust and very little chicken. It was nearly cold and a real chore to try to divide! The only redeeming quality about the lunch was the sweet potato fries! The lunch was way overpriced. We won't be trying this place again. Guess the ownership has changed-- hope they can improve! read more

The servers are very friendly. However......the bartender pours short. Ordered Tangeray Martini's which were half full. Usually most bartenders fill to the very top. You would have thought it was his bar so pour short! Later we ordered dinner in the dining room, which lacks any ambiance. Might as well been at Denny's. Ordered a Caesar salad. Worst we've ever had anywhere in the world. Never had a Caesar with bacon bits, tomatoes or hard boiled egg. And dressing from who knows where! We we're going to order entrees but the salad was so bad, we decided to stick to. Appetizers. My wife tried the Poke Tower. Terrible and some sauce presented was worse than axle grease. I had Meatballs. No flavor and the Marinara? Came from a jar. There's nothing wrong with things from the shelf. You can add spices and flavors to make it your own. Right? read more

History

Established in 1853.

Located on Main Street in historic Sutter Creek, California, Hotel Sutter, formerly American Exchange Hotel, has opened its doors after 30 odd years! The hotel has been 100% revamped, remodeled and upgraded. The hotel has 25 rooms full of history, decorated in a restrained Gold Rush fashion with rustic wrought iron bed frames and distressed Empire style furniture. The hotel was described by the 1897 Amador Record as, "elegantly furnished and fitted throughout...It is headquarters for all the stage lines." The parking area to the rear of the hotel used to be the hitching post area for teams and saddle horses, and the old saloon was operated under the name "Sutter Club." It also served as an office and stage stop for Adams & Company Express, one of the first express companies established in California, preceding Wells Fargo and Company.

We had noted a special occasion on our reservation, but there wasn't really anything that made it feel acknowledged or special. We shared the skillet, and unfortunately it was extremely soggy. We literally poured liquid out of it multiple times. On the flip side, the lemon poppyseed waffle was a solid 10/10 and definitely the standout food item for us.

My vegan friend had gone the night before and enjoyed her peanut noodle bowl with tofu! So that's good apparently) So we had high hopes but when we went today before 10am they were out of black beans for the one vegan option for my friend and didn't offer to make it without or anything it was painful to watch and to eat in front of her. Lattes looked good. My boyfriend is not picky but said the house coffee was average and got the All Sutter Creek- bacon eggs and toast and it just looked sad. Bacon was burnt, wheat toast was small and looked like cheap wonderbread. Eggs were fine but nothing better then we have at home he said. I got the Handford Benedict and it looked good but tasted strange. I didn't like the hollandaise sauce, it was tangy. Eggs were cooked well and potatoes were good, but overall with prosciutt ( meh), steamed unseasoned spinach and goat cheese made it too tangy. Hot sauce made it edible. French toast looked yummy with a nice amount of fruit on top and my friend seemed to enjoy it. I don't think I'd come back since the food is so unpredictable. A few things to fix - the bench seat wobbled whenever anyone moved at the other end, and the hot sauce wooden cap needs to be glued on! - it keep turning and comes off and gets glue in peoples food and looks gross underneath. I hope this helps you guys improve.

THIS IS NOT A REVIEW, THIS IS AN INTERVENTION. Do not stay in this absolute dump of a hotel, and I use the term hotel very loosely. I cannot convey strongly enough how disgusting this place is gross. Windows that won't close, no hot water, broken furniture, dirty utensils, broken light fixings and actual poo in the toilet. The staff was very short and rude. Anything we asked for seemed like an inconvenience. Asking for more towels was just met with a sigh and a promise that they would bring more, which never arrived. Apparently they think that two towels is all you should be allowed? Only two pillows on the bed and when we asked if there were more available we got a sigh and were told that it was all they had. For a premium price, I expect *at least* adequate service and no attitude. Pretty sure I'm going to end up with some sort of rash/ disease due to sanitation conditions similar to those of a homeless crack head. In summary...this place is a complete hole. As if on purpose, the place is missing the creativity and commitment. The result is a careless, lifeless production that feels like a weird facsimile of a restaurant rather than the real thing. I came with an open mind, despite the fact that most of my colleagues have portrayed Hotel Sutter as the worst thing since herpes. The first sign that they plopped on the table before we ordered: Four pale, blank-tasting pieces of "Focaccia" with the texture of kitchen sponges. Food: Rib-eye, the aggressively under seasoned cut, boasts no char for funk. Chews like leather, took me 15 chews to find one piece I could swallow. Tasted like the gas it was cooked over. Is there one thing on your menu that can be eaten without fear or regret? Somewhere within the yawning, Hotel Sutter, is there a long refrigerated tunnel that servers have to pass through to make sure that the French fries, already limp and oil-sogged, are also served cold? What accounts for the vast difference between the black pepper aioli recipe you've replaced by something that tastes like Miracle Whip with minced raw garlic? Why did the toasted marshmallow taste like fish? The managers, Tracy and Kristin. When I brought it up to Kristin she just walked away all huffy and puffy, she needs to go work at a morgue. Tracy was very sorry for the lack of caring that went into the food, Tracy said she was going to take over soon. Tracy said she doesn't agree how the owners run the place. Tracy said the kitchen is new and has no experience and she is working on changing it. Tracy told us, sometimes you can't fix stupid. Thank you Tracy for comping our whole meal, plus drinks....one star for that. This was a regrettable experience and now I have to go spend 300 an hour to talk to my psychiatrist with what I went through at Hotel Sutter. read more

Wanted to take my Mom somewhere special for her 92nd birthday so we made the trek from Sacramento to Sutter Creek. I looked up the restaurant on line because I had heard somewhere that the food was good and decided to give it a try. From the first contact with the young lady who took our reservation and the way through to chatting with the young woman at the hotel front desk, we had a delightful and memorable visit. When we first arrived the hotel was buzzing with excitement - people checking in and an enthusiastic crowd in the bar cheering on Chrome in the Belmont race. We were seated at a lovely table and were attentively waited on by several staff. I looked around to make sure were weren't being mistaken for royalty, but no, it was just us! Our main server was a young woman named Jenny. My Mom eats like a bird so were told her we were going to share everything. The first good sign was that this was graciously received - no attitude! We ordered the fried brussels sprouts with bacon and lemon aoli (incredible), a green salad and the braised shortribs. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The vegetables served with the shortribs were fresh baby zuchini, carrots and green beans. No pedestrian broccoli florets and watery carrot wedges here - just delicious. I have to make a special comment, though, about our server Jenny. My mother is a very astute and discerning lady, a world traveler, and definitely "all there". But for some reason when we go out to eat, the servers tend to only speak to me, and to patronize her and act as if she were a child, I'm assuming because of her age. Understandably, nothing annoys my mother more! Well, there was not even a hint of this with Jenny. She was respectful, polite and never patronizing. She obviously did everything to make our visit special. My mother, who can be quite critical, was completely charmed - no complaints about anything. And the final icing on the cake, was when Jenny presented my Mom with her birthday tiramisu, complete with a lit candle and at least 5 staff singing happy birthday to her like they really meant it! Well, I know I'm gushing, but I'm very impressed with the new owners of the hotel. I think they must be very good managers and employers as the hotel is beautiful, the staff are happy and competent, and the food is wonderful. Kudos all around! read more

Food poisoning......... Stay away from this restaurant, our entire party of 4 fell extremely ill after eating at the hotel Sutter. We should have known that something was wrong with all the issues we had during our service. Drinks took forever to arrive, server and bartender too busy talking rather than attending to guest. Chicken flat bread had so much garlic that it basically was unedible. $22 for a cheese board that was filled with cubbed basic cheese from a bulk store, menu and server stated Artisan cheeses nothing Artisan about what we received. First responder burger, more like a first strike on your gut and colon. $18 for a double burger that looked good, but tasted like a burnt grill. Cheese not even melted, wilted lettuce and tomato. Ribeye overcooked and cold, tasted like it had been under the heat lamp waiting for the rest of the food to be prepared. Cold, lumpy and bland mashed potatoes, how hard is it to make mashed potatoes? You can have all of this for $32.00, what a joke. Chipotle chicken seem like it came out of an El Pollo Loco served with a dry, bland rice. I wish I had taken a picture of this disaster. Wedge salad was covered in what seemed like heavy mayo mixed with bad blue cheese crumbles. Food is way overpriced for what you get, for the quality of service and food not worth it. Trying to be hip, but failing hard at best. Word of advice; servers need to be trained on the basics of service, having a manager run around apologizing to every tabel does not help. When you have to repeatedly ask for the basics there is a real problem. Clean your kitchen, use fresh products. When four guest get violently ill there is a real problem, what if we had brought our children? This whole experience was a waste of money and shameful never again will we go to the hotel Sutter. read more

We went to this restaurant for lunch based on a recommendation by a local, thinking they would know best. The atmosphere was good. Our first impression did not start well. We were told there would be a 15 minute wait when there appeared to be plenty of empty tables. this was at 1:30 pm. When we came back, the table we preferred we were told was reserved but not for another hour. They were good enough however to seat us at the seating of our choice. We did wait a while for the waitress to come around and take our order. Once we ordered we had quite a wait for our food to come. This surprised us since we had simple orders that did not require cooking or much preparation. My wife had a Shrimp and Crab Louie salad and I had a Bruschetta Trio, which was slices of a baguette served with three dishes of sauces. The biggest disappointment was her salad. The crab smelled old and did not have the white color typically seen in fresh crab meat. Instead the crab meat had a brownish color to it. According to the waitress, Ashley explained, it is a 'Blue Swimming Crab', that was why the crab meat was brown instead of white color. We have had fresh crab meat at many restaurants before and so we know what to expect for fresh crab meat and this is the first time we have seen brown smelly crab meat. The chef did come out and apologize, but we chose not to have a replacement. The dish I had was rather lackluster. I was expecting heated slices of the baguette topped with the trio rather than plain room temp slices served separately. Overall the food left a lot to be desired. We would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Dinning here was a waste of over 120.00, staff is unattentive and has no training and customer service whatsoever. Girl bartender was more interested in gossiping with staff and what appeared to be locals than serving my group. What a shame, the cellar is nice, but lacks management. We decided to try our luck in the dining room, wish we had just left. 15 minutes for waiter to get his act together and actually take our drink and app order. Drinks took 20 minutes to get to the table and apps arrived even later cold and unappetizing. Waiter was truly clueless to our disappointment, more concerned with trying to sale us specials. We decided to stop at apps and travel up the hill to find a better suited restaurant. There was no management present and it shows in behavior of staff, working in a restaurant is not a social event. You are there to provide a service for paying customers, I wish I had looked at reviews before trying this establishment. To whoever manages or owns this place needs to get control, I expect someone from your business to contact me. The level of service and the way we were treated is completely unacceptable and I cannot express enough how disgusted I am that I spent $120 at your business. read more

OMG, my husband got the chuck norris burger which was half prime skirt steak and the other half bacon!!!!!!! Now my husband does not usually order burgers at restaurants because he is a bbq connoisseur and almost always has a bad experience when going out. My husband would not stop talking about the burger and what a culinary genius the chef must be with his mad scientist gourmet burger menu! I ordered the cedar plank salmon and it was DIVINE!!! IT was so flaky and just melted in my mouth! The lemon buerre blanc, was so creamy and had just the right amount of citrus flavor. The service does need some work but they are very friendly and you can see that they are truly trying their hardest to serve their guests. This is a very small town and we were both impressed with the quality of food at this historic hotel. We will definatley be back!!! And recommend this hotel to everyone i meet. Soon we will be booking a room to try the hotel experience. read more

Do not spend your money here. Property use to be to focal point of the town, now is just sour joke in town. Food overpriced with not hint of consistency. Kitchen is known around town as being extremely dirty and full of people that do nothing but drink, smoke meth and weed. Senior management is a joke who does nothing more than abuses staff, everyone has been driven out that is not in click. GM and chef are nothing more than drunk liars who don't care about anyone, but themselves. Example, GM broke arm at River while drinking. Then claims to fall in kitchen out of sight of cameras??? Everyone knows what actually happened, most of senior management were at the river when it happened. These are the ppl that are destroying something that use to be great. Ownership is no better, they are letting this happen. While doing nothing more than hiding, because they know the town is sick of them. read more

The food was excellent. We ordered a "cheese board" to share between two of us and could barely finish half of it. It came with five different cheeses, four cured meats, candied walnuts, dried apricots, and three types of crackers. Excellent value. Now, it the service was as good as the food I would have awarded five stars. When we arrived at about 1:00 p.m., there were only two tables occupied in the dining room. We stood at the host station for at least five minutes waiting to be seated. When a hostess finally appeared, she went to seat us at a table but the server stopped her saying that all the empty tables were dirty and needed to be wiped clean. She proceeded to wipe all of the tables down before returning to seat us. The service was definitely slow, but the food was worth the wait. read more

Our meal was one of the worst meals I have had in Amador County. To start with the stuck up waiter forgot our cocktails and to let us know about the nightly specials. When we asked if we get bread the reply was "only upon request". My prime rib came out cold. Now I don't mean like warm it was cold to the touch. My au jus was like warm. I sent my plate back. Also when they did deliver our food they brought out one wrong order. Dessert wasn't much better. Creme brûlée topping was sugar rocks. We had to refill our own wine glasses because our waiter was nowhere to be found. To top things off the coffee had to be ten hours old. Our waiter however was right on time with the bill. The management did give us one meal for free but even then I felt I paid too much. read more

Went to the Mother's Day Brunch and it was the most beautiful brunch I had ever been to!!! There was an omelette station, where you could get an omelette made just the way you liked it. They had a shrimp table with lots of delicious shrimp. The turkey and stuffing was wonderful. They also had a leg of beef (they had a fancier word for it but i don't remember what it was) that was so tender and juicy. Even my kids commented on how great it was. And they had a beautiful table for the desserts which were amazing as well. Loved the little cake bites. Service and staff were amazing as well. We will be back again soon to try some more amazing dishes, as I am sure they have so much more that I didn't get to try. read more

We had Valentine's Dinner there last night, in spite of the dining room being completely full, the service was outstanding. Our Server, Chris and his support crew were very attentive and the food was delicious, I had the Prime Rib, it was outstanding and the portion was very ample!!! All five of us were very pleased with our dinners and service. Hats off to Chef Darius and his staff! An added touch was the Hosts Karen and Chuck making a point at stopping at the tables and speaking with their guests. Can't wait to go back! Thank you to all for making our evening memorable.

First time trying this place. Went with others who had been there before, and they recommended it. Disappointed at first, because the menu had changed and they no longer had the quinoa salad we wanted to try. But the food was great! And the head chef came out to talk with us, and explained the menu changes. Then he brought out a sample of one of the starter items...the Brussels sprouts. Delicious! And he brought out another sample...the berry sorbet! Also delicious. Was a great lunch, great service. Would go again. Hoping they bring back the quinoa salad though! read more

Last night we had a perfect dinner on the balcony. Our server Tyler was so accommodating and attentive. There is a limited balcony menu that has a little bit of everything and when we asked for a substitution she made it happen. The food was delightful and prepared perfectly. You can't help but feel spoiled when you're being served on the Hotel Sutter Balcony! After dinner we went down to The Cellar Lounge and had some after dinner drinks listening to some of our favorite songs on the jukebox. A splendid evening in Sutter Creek! read more

This place is beyond horrible. First time there, and last time there. There was way too much wrong to mention everything, but poor slow service, getting someone else's order, my wife finishing her plate before I was served, flies buzzing everywhere, hearing the people complain about the service and food behind us........ Just to name a few. As a family of resturant owners, I give this place another eight months before selling or closing its doors. Save yourself some $$$$$ and go to Taco Bell. That's where we ended up. read more

The staff knew we were coming and seated us at a great table near the window. We did find the spot wonderful but because of the open windows a little too chilly and they re-seated us quickly and graciously. I had the tuna tacos with mango and they were terrific. We had a couple special requests on the food and they made every effort to come through for us. All in all the food and wait staff were terrific. This is a wonderful setting in a historic building to spend time dining and visiting. read more

The Sutter Creek Hotel Restaurant is such a gem! The food was absolutely amazing--the Mexican skillet was especially primo and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It's a cute restaurant in an equally charming little town, and I loved the cozy, welcoming vibes. Plus, they make a mean mimosa! The prices are very fair, especially for the bottomless mimosas, which made brunch even more enjoyable. Definitely a spot worth visiting! read more

Had New Years dinner and wished we had gone somewhere else. Food was bland and basic, seems if they are trying to be a sophisticated and elegant, but fall short both on quality and service. Train your staff on communication, if food is going to take longer than anticipated talk to tables vs avoiding. Look at food, not worth the price. Just having nice grounds is not enough, service and quality needs work. Will not return, no value here. read more

Just had a delicious lunch at the Hotel Sutter Restaurant. The service was excellent. April was our server and was friendly and kept an eye on our table in case we needed anything. The Executive Chef, Albert, visited our table. Usually this doesn't happen at lunch, but he wanted to share his delicious berry dessert with us. Made with 3 different berries, it was cool and tasty. I would recommend it even if you think you are full. read more

Another 5 star meal with 3 star service. The servers run around but dont seem to help us. Soup of carrot and coconut really good. Rack of lamb was perfect. Beet and arugula was enough for three. The lamb is 16 oz so two guys or three girls can split. Lobster mac and cheese very rich. They forgot the cheese and we had to hunt down our server. They really try to please here and the food is really well done. read more

It was really cute and quaint, the ambiance gave me historic vibes and I loved it!! We sat inside cuz of how cold it was outside. I ordered 2 drinks for myself, the chips (so amazing with the sauce/dip) and the grilled cheese sandwich (not too shabby). There wasn't many options for food but found that they keep it very limited due to the hours of operation. So that cleared it up. What I found very interesting was that we had to order at the bar for our food and drinks. Even though there was a server and a bartender, so I found it very odd. But they did bring our food and drinks to us so that was nice! For all of the things I ordered it came out to like $43. To me, a bit steep for just myself only but what can I expect haha.

I got the country fried steak and loved it, I never order it on a menu but felt like being different and so happy I did. The batter was crispy and the gravy was so delicious. My husband had a burger and said it was good, he said a bit over cooked but not by much was still a medium rare. We had micheladas to drink with the blonde ale they had on tap!
