We were staying in Black Oak Casino and resort for our anniversary and decided to give this place a try. We did not have a reservation but we dined in around 5pm on a Friday with no wait since the place just opened up. Our server was really nice/friendly and she really knew the menu by heart. Ambiance was nice, not too impressive and not much of a view either. We ordered the mussel sautéd with wine and garlic as an appetizer (not listed but I think it's one of the newer dishes they are trying out?) The mussels were cooked perfectly and matched the sauce. I forgot to mention they gave complimentary bread--garlic focaccia and sour dough with butter. Prior to the main entrees our server gave us a palate cleanser sorbet which was refreshing. I ordered the shrimp scampi--shrimp was perfectly cooked and juicy..not chewy and dry at all. The linguine was a tad sour for me but it's ok. My partner ordered the ribeye medium cooked with potatoes and brussel sprouts. The steak was cooked to perfection as well! He was highly impressed and every bite he took it seemed like he was in heaven. The Brussel sprouts was a perfect complement to the dish. We managed to have some room for dessert and ordered the sticky toffee pudding. Since it was our anniversary, it was complimentary. Can't complaint about free dessert. Overall, we were surprised by this restaurant and it exceeded our expectations. Compliments to the chef! read more

Food was pretty good, service slow, ambiance nice. This restaurant used to be the most classy upscale restaurant in the area. It's located in a casino but well insulated away from the smoke and clamor of the gambling floor. There are pasta items and fresh vegetables for the vegetarians. Prices are higher than the quality. Staff are nice, possibly over stretched to provide attentive service. Food downstairs is at least as good and good value. Choices are not great in Tuolumne County. Maybe go to Murphys if you are serious about getting great food and good wine in a darling gold country town. read more

This place has really gone downhill. We used to eat here all the time and it was amazing but since their chef left for Chicken Ranch it has not been good. We are now going to the restraunt at chicken ranch because it's what seven sisters used to be. read more

I have been here may be 4x and always love it!! Last Friday Dec 5th 8:30 pm RSVP, was not good. The rib eye steak was burned outside and so many burned bits and pieces. I ended up scraping it. The lamb was red outside. No green vegetables too. The crab cake and onion soup were not in the menu. Selections of food are not that great this time. read more

We went to dinner tonight. We were so disappointed in how this restaurant has gone down hill. We never minded paying high prices because the food and the service were outstanding. Not anymore. The CALAMARI ($22) appetizer was rubbery and cold; we only ate half. The sauce was very tasty but not plentiful. The PORK FRITES ($42) was extremely fatty and once again there was hardly any sauce. The TUSCAN CHICKEN ($38) was a thinly sliced piece of non-marinated, dry chicken with absolutely no extra sauce - just dry chicken.The Pappardelle pasta was stuck together like glue and again no extra sauce. I won't even go into the other entrees and deserts we had. Suffice to say the prices do not reflect the quality of food. They need to get a new cook and rethink their menu. Until then we will never go back nor will we recommend it to anyone. Shame on the management for ruining a once upscale restaurant. read more

I don't know who the manager that changed the menu, but managed to make it worse. We go first special occasion. Chicken dish over cooked, the Seafood Resotto 2 Scallops and 1 small lobster tail. That was overpriced and way too much rice, Surf & Turf had to ask where the surf was. It was small portion of crab on top of steak for $70. Appetizer was sad order Scallops got 3, Capricie salad cut wrong were in quarters small fresh mostarella with 1 peach. The best was the Calamari was enough for 4 of us. Most was good just not what was expected. Not going there again been here 5 different times, so sad too. Disappointed customer read more

We had dinner reservations on 6/25/26 for 5pm. We were so looking forward to a wonderful dinner and dining experience. Unfortuneately, this is not what that awaited us. Our salmon fish of the day, was placed on a mound of over-cooked mushy rice. Although the salmon appeared fine, we couldn't get past the gross rice and sent it back. The chicken breast was purported to be on a sun-dried tomato sauce pasta. The pasta was doughy, tasteless. and cold. We also had to send it back. We finished our wine and left planning to not return for a long, long time. We had seen some questionable reviews but decided to return because of our past enjoyment. Bad decision. Hopefully this will get straighted our before more business is lost. read more

Was great dinner. Wished the large party that was seated next to us was seated in a private area as they were so loud me and my husband couldn't enjoy our dinner. But the food was great. Our service was a little slow but overall will try again read more

Last time I ate here was a big disappointment my Wife and I had steak and lobster and sadly Sizzler was much better at a much cheaper price!! read more

Food was solid but service was really on the slow side. The decor and atmosphere was fitting for an upscale steakhouse. Staff was friendly but 1 hour to get our food was too slow. Even drinks seemed to take longer than they should. It was a Sunday at 7:30 so I don't feel like it was overly busy but it wasn't slow. I would try them again to see if it will be any faster. read more

This place is very beautiful and a upscale restaurant. Service rocks! And the food is SUPER good! I would dine here again. read more

Located inside the black oak casino on the third floor. I came in with a group of 7. We made dinner reservations. I recommend making reservations if you are interested in eating here. They seated us as soon as we arrived. Our waitress was amazing! She knew the menu like the back of her hand and let us know about their specials. She did a great job of checking on us throughout our visit. I ordered the seared scallops. It came with rice and asparagus. The presentation was fabulous. Everything was cooked perfectly which especially is a big deal for scallops. So delicious and seasoned perfectly. Everyone in our party loved their food. Not one complaint across the board! They ordered the crab carbonara, Atlantic salmon, orange duck, and millionaire Mac and cheese. FYI side salads are huge. The bread they brought before our meal was delicious too. My only complaint is I expected more from their cocktails. I ordered the pomegranate cosmopolitan and another in the party ordered a smoked old fashioned. For the smoked old fashioned it was lower tier quality wise compared to other ones I have had before. My cosmo I wish was more along with a traditional recipe and stronger or had a nicer presentation. This would have me more rate it 4.5 but I still am rounding up to 5 because everything else was so great. We leave very pleased! And definitely recommend going here if for a special occasion while in this area. read more

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Kathleen B., the Director of Food & Beverage at Black Oak Casino Resort, during our stay. She was incredibly kind, sweet, and understanding of the issues we encountered. Kathleen sincerely apologized for our experience and went above and beyond to make things right. Thanks to her exceptional hospitality and genuine care, we are changing our rating from one star to five stars. Kathleen's commitment to outstanding customer service truly made our stay memorable and enjoyable. We highly recommend the Black Oak Casino Resort and commend Kathleen for her dedication to ensuring a great guest experience. Black Oak Casino Resort should have her as the VP/Executive as customer service and making things right is her passion. Thank You Again Kathleen! read more

Five star dining, great ambience, exceptional service, good variety, and great presentation definitely worth the price of admission

From the moment we walked in, Seven Sisters felt special. The ambiance strikes that perfect balance between upscale and welcoming -- soft lighting, elegant finishes, but zero pretension. It's the kind of place where you immediately relax and know you're in good hands. The service? Impeccable. Attentive without hovering. Knowledgeable without rehearsed speeches. Every recommendation -- from wine pairings to dessert -- was spot on. Now the food... wow. Every plate was beautifully presented, but more importantly, every bite delivered. You can taste the intention behind each ingredient. Fresh, seasonal, thoughtfully layered flavors. The chef clearly understands balance -- nothing overpowering, everything working together. It's fine dining that actually satisfies, not just impresses. read more

Seven Sisters is a wonderful mix of class and comfort. We dined for my son's 17th b-day, because both my teenage boys love Seven Sisters and it did not disappoint. Food was excellent, actually the best ever. Hats off to the new chef. Our waitress has been there 20 years and she amazing. Just overall a lovely evening. read more

In the last year, I've visited twice. The first time was a five star experience, the second time was a three star experience. The first visit I had the crab carbonara which was fantastic and my husband had a mushroom pasta. The second time I had the Bavette (sirloin) and it was pretty tough and fatty. The steak knife was also dull. The season root veg was undercooked and I had a few really woody pieces. The wine was fantastic both trips ans service is elevated compared to anything else in the county. We'll continue to go back once or twice a year. read more

The food has gone way down hill. The quality is not what it used to be. Also, the new menu has very limited items. We won't be back after many years of dining there Just an fyi for those looking. We have been back here 3 times over the past couple of months with the new menu. It wasn't terrible the first time as we had a steak and a fish entree. Second time we switched it up and had a meal at the bar. There are very few choices for apps and there are no longer options like the turkey sandwich and no fries etc. and the mushroom soup is not in the menu anymore. We settled on a wedge salad with chicken and stuffed shrimp. Salad was a 6 and the shrimp was a 7. The latest meal was a wedge with chicken, this time it was a 2. It was terrible and the chicken was so dry you couldn't swallow it. The Beet salad was ok. Way too much vinegar in the dressing and the food was swimming in dressing it was a 5. We didn't order an app because the options were not very appealing and very limited. Hopefully management can take a hint and get this place back on track. read more

My family went there to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Our server Ryan was very informative about the chef's special and other items. Our food was delicious, great presentation and service. A lovely place to celebrate. After dinner we sat on the patio where the fire pits kept us comfortably warm. I like the new menu with the added veggies or potatoes so you didn't need to add a side to your entree. That was a plus for the establishment. read more

We have been coming to Black Oak for years, this is the fist time in about a year or so we have gone to Seven Sisters. The prices have gone up quite a bit which is the same with most places. The food was mediocre at best. Very little flavor in anything. I had the salmon it was tasteless. others in our party had Steak and lobster and another with a New York steak. It was just not good, for the price you expect much better. I was pleased to hear from our server that they have heard the complaints and they will have a new menu starting April 1st. read more

Seven sisters was delish. First I have to say I wish I would have gotten our servers name. She was amazing and she recommended cheaper/smaller portions that I didn't know was an option. I tend to order so many different things that it was obvious she needed to help me out lol. Second, the fried brussel sprouts were the best brussel sprouts I ever had. And I am a brussel sprouts fan all the way. They were so good! The bone marrow was surprising. It came with fry bread as well as carne asada. I have to give this a 3 out of 5. The bone marrow was good, but I don't think the fry bread pairs well. It's not delicate enough to eat with the bone marrow. It takes over and it's all you can taste. I mean fry bread is good, but just not with the bone marrow in my Opinion. The carne asada could have used some different seasoning or a sauce. The crab cakes were pretty good. Good sized, good sauce. I would have liked a more lemony sauce but I was just squeezing lemon on everything. I also had been craving artichokes, so I gave the tempura artichokes a try. It wasn't bad, but not what I was craving. It was too heavy when I was of course craving.... Light! My husband had a club sandwich that looked good. He said it was and the portion looked good as well. He only ate half because of all the apps I ordered. You think he'd be used to it by now! The brussel sprouts were more than enough to make me happy. Oh hubby did say his old fashion with knob creek was really good. Tomahawk for sure next time. read more

This review is a 4.4/5. Came here for my belated birthday dinner. Everyone was very nice and professional. We never had to ask for anything and we never had a plate in front of us that we were done with for more than a minute or two. The ambiance is cozy and warm, the seating is comfortable. It can get a little noisy when it's busy, but we could still hear just fine. We got the Brussels sprouts for a starter and if you haven't had them before, you must. They are 1000% worth it. Between the starter and main course they came by with a palate cleanser that was a very tart cranberry orange sorbet like bite. It was very sharp, but I enjoyed it. My dad and I got the maple chipotle pork chop. It comes with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. Divine. It was phenomenal. My mom got the filet with the potatoes, she ate it all and said it was great. Hubs got the wagyu burger. It was huge and very messy, but he said flavor wise it was different and very tasty. Only real complaint was the amount and quality of the shoestring fries that came with the burger. There was a mound... like too many. And they were very over done, pretty easy to do when they're so thin. Overall, this has always been a nice spot for a special occasion and this trip was no different. Would recommend! read more

Three if us have been going to a fine dining restaurant monthly for quite awhile. We live in Modesto but we were in Sonora for a play at the Sierra Rep. Our experience at 7 Sisters was perfect, The new menu is wonderful. This was our first time here. The food was amazing. Everything we ordered was really delicous, very fresh with great flavor. Our server, Jess was informed, fast and friendly. She gave us plenty of time to make our choices. The cocktails were good, too, but I wish they had more wines by the glass. Sadly, they had my favorite and it was $70 a bottle. Nope. Its a beautiful quiet space with nice music. We'll be back, for sure. read more

The ambience is great here. However, the service was pretty slow. Our wine came out after we finished our dinner. My dinner was served cold, but my partner thought his was really good read more

I ordered the surf and turf and was really disappointed. The lobster had decent flavor, but it was removed from the shell poorly, leaving small shell pieces in almost every bite. The filet mignon was ordered medium but came out well done and tasted more like pot roast than a steak. The vegetables were yellow and orange cubes that looked like hard pumpkin or squash and were not appetizing at all. I asked for a green vegetable and was served Brussel sprouts that were not cut or cleaned . Overall, the dish was not worth the price and left a lot to be desired. read more

The worst meal I have ever been served. The lamb shank had no flavor precooked days ahead with no moisture or seasoning. The short ribs were equally inedible. The garlic mashed potatoes were cold the short rib was tough. Very disappointing as it was a special occasion. Don't waste your time with this place . Sad because I heard there was a new chef and hoping it would be great food. It seems to me they need another new chef because this one sent out food that is an embarrassment to the casino, and she has definitely not improved the dining experience. read more

Have been several times with 5 star reviews. Our last time was our last though. Not going back. Service was outstanding. The food was okay. Nothing special. Certainly not worth the hour drive to eat, we don't gamble. Prices are not ridiculous but more than a similar meal at a dozen closer venues. read more

Wow! I try not to write bad reviews but this place was unbelievable! We came here for dinner tonight to celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary. Earlier we had gone on their website to make a reservation but saw all times were available and chose not to reserve a table. We arrived at 5:30 and were told we could not get a table until 7:30 (there were 3 tables occupied). We told them about the availability on their website and they said the system always overbooks. They went on to say they had a large party but could break down a table but that it would an issue. Really? The attitude of the host desk was one of indifference. We left and went on to have a lovely dinner elsewhere. Supporting local businesses is always our preference, apparently they don't need ours. read more

Everything we ordered was good This restaurant is definitely more pricey than the one down stairs.. this is where you come to feel a little fancy. They don't open until 5pm despite the breakfast pictures Lemon drop made w. Gin 5/5 The garlic mash potatoes 5/5 Their veggies sides are all tasty carrots cream & spinach both 5/5 My partner ordered the rack of lamb which were really like samplers he enjoyed them but reported they were over priced as. You can by a rack of lamb with meat on the full bone for the price of the dinner .. served w. Chimmichuri which I love . The order is served a la carte so you can add sides to make it a multi course meal I ordered tempura stuff Artichoke they were good but about $14+ for only a serving of four .. I like crunch flaky tempura batter with a little crunch .. these were fluffy.. but still good .. I wouldn't order them again though Staff were amazing and super polite For dessert we ordered the red velvet cheese cake. Unfortunately it was served with chocolate drizzle and a chocolate crust and I dont like chocolate so I couldn't fully enjoy it . read more

My server was Skylar and she had very good suggestion for dinner. We had miso ginger salmon, hanger steak and macadamia nut encrusted Mahi Mahi. As Darth Vader once said, "impressive, most impressive". The steak a perfect medium rare. Both fish dishes were incredibly moist and flavorful. The lava cake was so rich and was so filling even though three people shared it! Not a food snub, but critical about service and food. Here the meal was worth every penny. read more

Everything here is amazing! The food, service , ambiance! Not just a meal- it's an experience!

Seven sister is amazing! My friends and I were greeted right away. Super friendly staff & amazing service. Skylar was our server and she was very pleasant.
