Wonderful Wednesday with sister, (local) at the Swiss Hotel Sonoma What a perfect sunny Wednesday in Sonoma! I enjoyed a delicious mango salad with cherry tomatoes, avocado, and roasted almonds , paired with a lovely glass of Benziger Chardonnay wine. Fresh, colorful, and absolutely delicious! The mushroom pizza was equally wonderful, crispy, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. A special thank you to Jean, who provided outstanding service and made the experience even more enjoyable. Friendly, attentive, and truly the greatest! Beautiful weather, great food, excellent wine, and wonderful hospitality. A perfect Sonoma afternoon. We will definitely be back! read more

Visiting my former neighbors and friends in Sonoma and they recommended this place. All I can say is it was very well done!! Nice dining room, outdoor seating well as indoor. The patio where we sat was awesome. Our waiter was a great guy, cannot remember his first name, ugh, but really friendly, knowledgeable, great waiter. I can remember we talked about the E Coast and his tattoos. I always try to strike conversation with people at the venue, especially those that serve tables. One thing, my heart and props go to anyone that can serve the public and do it with a smile. In this day and age everyone is so demanding, and its nice to always..always thank and acknowledge those that make your experience the best. So fist to the chefs/ cooks that made our food...great job, second to our waiter and the management staff that came over to our table, thank you!~ I will say I ordered a Reuben, I was somewhat hesitant only because the last 3 Reubens I have had at other restaurants in the SF Bay area have been horrific. So the waiter told me, you will really like this Reuben and he was totally 150% spot on. It was cooked and plated to perfection. The bread was perfect, not soggy and there was perfect amount of dressing and perfect amount of kraut and Swiss and I cannot say enough about it. My friends had the hamburger and the chicken salad, both saying that it was excellent. So if you happen to cruise on over to Sonoma or Sonoma County, make sure you visit this gem right in the heart of the old downtown/ village area. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended by a local friend, so we made reservations--and I'm glad we did. We started at the bar, which, despite its small size, felt warm and welcoming. The staff immediately made us feel at home, and the space even brought to mind Duarte's Tavern in Pescadero, just on a more intimate scale. Once our table was ready in the dining room, we were seated promptly. Our server, Amy, was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and well-paced throughout the evening. I ordered the salmon, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My date chose the cappellini pomodoro; while it was fine, it didn't quite stand out compared to the rest of the experience. Overall, the quality of service and atmosphere made a strong impression. I can easily see us returning--either to enjoy dinner again or to grab a seat at the bar. Next time, I'd love to try the patio. Definitely make reservations, as this place fills up quickly. read more

What a find! Husband and I were walking around looking for somewhere to have lunch. Saw some of the food coming out for the people eating out front. Sold! It looked so nice and fresh.

There's something so charming about this place that brings a smile to my face every time. The bar area is cute for a drink or appetizer and feels right out of a movie set. For dinner, you have to call to make a reservation. They're not on the apps. I've had drinks/appetizers here a few times and dinner here twice. Their calamari is some of the best I've had, and I love the sauces they put on it. Last time we had the crème brûlée for dessert and I could have eaten an entire one to myself it was so good. I had the butternut squash ravioli and personally it was far too oily and sweet for me, but I'm still giving five stars, as everything else my husband and I have had here is wonderful. read more

Good pizza. Terrible service. Waitress in the weeds. Waited for a drink. 15 minutes. Long periods of time unattended. I suggest eating that in the dining room. I think it's probably better service. read more

Swiss Hotel - Butternut squash ravioli was disappointing. Swimming in oil, cringeworthy. - Hotels Near Me - Sonoma, California

The place was decked out in Christmas decorations, simply beautiful and festive. The service was friendly and prompt, and the food was fantastic! I ended up getting the special, which was Pot Roast, mashed potatoes, veggies and gravy. It was delicious, moist, and a generously sized portion. I have been to the Swiss multiple times, and every time the food, atmosphere and service is consistently delightful. Highly recommend for a lovely meal out with family or loved ones. read more

Amazing as always! I love the garden seating here. Today we had the Burrata, crab cake salad, Capellini Pomodoro and a Marghertia pizza. We had a Bloody Mary and iced tea. The table bread is also delicious and comes with an oil and balsamic blend for dipping. I have had the crème brûlée in a past visit and it was also amazing! #shutupandeat! read more

The place was very was very old-fashioned and unique. I love the decor. I sat outside and it was very comfortable. The weight staff were very friendly and helpful We ended up taking our food to go because we had an appointment at a winery and needed to get going. We ordered the Chinese chicken salad unfortunately they put the dressing on and then also had a side of dressing. The salad was quite soggy and I did not like the taste of it. They also forgot to give us napkins and silverware. Fortunately, I had some in my car I was very disappointed in the food. read more

This little place right on the square in Sonoma is amazing. Good food, happy staff, comfortable seating. And (a rare opportunity to complement this issue in Sonoma) it's reasonably priced! read more

We had such a nice time dining at the Swiss Hotel. Each of the four of us ordered something different, but every plate looked and tasted great. My friend's husband couldn't stop raving about the prawns. We sat on the heated patio, which was delightful and our waiter was perfect. read more

Last few meals at Swiss Hotel restaurant have been terrible. This past Saturday we took friends for lunch. We all had their specials. I had a spinach and chicken salad. Chicken was a small piece of breast and very dry just on top of spinach leaves. Nothing fancy and yet even chicken was dry. My friend had veal scallopini special. Her dish arrived with spaghetti in a rich sauce slopped on top of veal that had more breading than actual meat. The margarita pizza looked plain and tasteless even under cooked dough. The last time I was here for dinner had eggplant parmigiana and it had more red onion slopped on top of it than actual eggplant! This restaurant is not one of the better Sonoma restaurants unfortunately. Fun for drinks and ambiance. read more

Met up with a friend at 5:30 on a weeknight. We were seated immediately, which was great. I can't recall our server's name, but she was perfect! It was a great balance of good service, but not "so much service" that we kept getting interrupted. My friend had the fried chicken special. I didn't get a photo, but it looked scrumptious!!! There was plenty for another meal - servings are generous, here. I had the beef stroganoff special. I've never ordered stroganoff at a restaurant, that I can recall, but this dish is absolutely DELICIOUS! I'm so happy I ordered what I did! I highly recommend this to any stroganoff lover if it's available!!!!! Overall, I highly recommend "The Swiss!" It's not overly "fancy," but it absolutely will not disappoint! read more

Really enjoyed this place! Classic Sonoma establishment with lovely ambiance, kind and professional wait staff, and very tasty food! Filet mignon medium rare did not disappoint! Wine by the glass selection could have been better read more

Worst dining experience at this location. first the hostess seemed puzzled when I asked her for a table for four. then when she seated us, she didn't provide a menu until we asked the waiter for one. The restaurant was not busy and there were several tables available. My husband ordered a hamburger which included bacon in the middle. hours after eating this and it being the only thing he ate all day, he experienced horrific food poisoning. upon flagging the restaurant about this, they refused to acknowledge any fault or consideration to removing this particular item from their menu. Save yourself a hospital bill and do not dine at this location read more

Enjoyed a nice meal on the back patio in the garden area. Service was fun, attentive, and upbeat. We split the mahi mahi (with mango and spinach) and the beet salad -- both good, though not especially memorable. The focaccia basket was a nice touch. Overall, a pleasant spot! read more

We had a party of 18 for a special celebratory birthday this past Saturday, including drinks, wine, appetizers, dinner and dessert. OUTSTANDING! The food was top notch. The wait staff was over the top patient! We had a blast. Thank you to the SWISS HOTEL RESTAURANT! read more

Excellent lobster bisque on special and wonderful service. Iconic location in Sonoma as well, right across the street from a lovely park and what I believe is the "town square." After partaking of their delicious lobster bisque it provides a great area to walk off some of those calories. Swiss Hotel comes highly recommended by this Yelper! read more

The Swiss Hotel is a hotel, sort of. I've never stayed at the hotel, with its 5 guest rooms, but I've eaten many times at the Swiss Hotel's restaurant. First, there are 3 different areas to eat. The much coveted seating on the Square. With 8 or so tables and the park across the street, it's the best people watching spot on the Square. Then there is the very pretty and elegant formal dining room. Your 3rd seating choice is the lovely patio in back, complete with a fireplace for winter ambience. The same menu is shared by all. One of my favorite dishes (only available at lunch time) is their fried chicken sandwich. The chicken breast which is nearly 1/2 an inch thick is breaded and fried to tender, then topped with a most delicious Asian slaw that has just the perfect amount of sweetness to go with the nice salt in the chicken, all set on a delicious and soft brioche bun. Truly a delight to the taste buds. Ironically the "Swiss" Hotel restaurant is known for its delicious Italian food. The service is always great, you're treated like family. I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal or a bad experience at the Swiss Hotel. I highly recommend it. read more

A Sonoma stalwart, the Swiss Hotel is a gem on the square. With a full bar, beer and wine as well as an array of Italian-inspired dishes, there is something for everyone. Topped with roasted tomatoes and mozzarella, the sweet sausage and portobello mushroom pizza ($22) was delicious. The crust had just the right amount of chewiness, but was firm enough to hold the abundant toppings. The capellini pomodoro ($18) is cooked perfectly -- just al dente -- and was enhanced by the addition of toasted pine nuts. Service is spot on with the beautiful Ayla E. attending to more tables than one server should have to cover. She handles it all without breaking a sweat. Pro Tip: Seating at the bar and on the front patio is first come, first served. So if you see an open table, grab it. Enjoy your lunch or dinner at the Swiss Hotel read more

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner last night at the Swiss Restaurant Hotel. We've passed this place many times and finally decided to check it out. We ate outside on the back patio, and it was perfect. The weather was great, service was attentive, and the food was yummy. We started with drinks, then enjoyed the focaccia bread, which was warm and fresh, with a delightful dipping sauce. Next, we shared a Caesar salad, then, both ordered the Linguini & Prawns (light and flavorful). We'll definitely return in the near future. read more

Attended an event here and was really impressed by the space and the friendliness of the people who did not mind that I wanted to look around in parts of the restaurant and bar that were not yet open (she could have easily said no, come back later). The servers and bartenders were very attentive and friendly and I felt welcome here and am looking forward to returning. read more

Great place to dine and have drinks. All of the staff was friendly and knowledgeable making recommendations. I tries the soft shell crab which was delicious and came with 2 crab cakes. I also tried the chocolate cake which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Good italian pasta dishes right in the center of town. read more
