    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.

    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.

    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. Went inside and chose to eat out back. Wish I'd taken a picture. Super cute! Food was so good and fresh. Very good.

    Very friendly service. Patio is lovely. We had roasted beet soup, crab cakes and veal Parmesan. Would eat there again.

    Calamari - one of the best I've ever had!
    Nicole L.

    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.

    Butternut squash ravioli was disappointing. Swimming in oil, cringeworthy.

    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.

    Cute interior breezeway

    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.

    Crab cake salad
    Christy R.

    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!

    Hamburger with fries
    Marian Y.

    We had a nice casual lunch here at the Swiss Hotel which is at the center of Sonoma Square. We did outdoor seating during a nice sunny day. Great food and service.

    Beef Stroganoff special
    Brandy L.

    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!

    Love the Cold Irish Coffee a secret recipes that have been passed down through the ages. The hotel is quaint and love the location.

    Wine room. Private and intimate.

    Restaurant was awesome. Wonderful food and service. We no reservation, but yet they sat us in the wine room. Beautiful.

From the get go, the manager and workers were all so friendly and helpful. There were initially some issues with dynamic pricing, but they were able to correct things on the back end, which was much appreciated. The main building and breakfast area are both very warm and inviting. The couches and seats are comfortable. There are games and books in the cabinet areas too. The chef provides a tasty breakfast each day, with the menu slightly changing. There is coffee, tea, and hot/cool water available all day. It can get a little crowded at breakfast, so if you are in a large group, go either very early or very late. The afternoon happy hour is pretty relaxed with some offerings of cheese, crackers, and wine. Be sure to ask for gluten-free options, as they have them available. They also prepared nice chocolates for my parents (anniversary) and a cookie for my nephew (birthday), which was a lovely touch. The rooms are fine, some are a little darker and/more dated, but that didn't bother us. The one thing that I would've done differently, is to bring an eye mask and ear plugs. Depending on where your room is located, you could be facing the main street. The doors in certain buildings would slam pretty loudly, so if you had neighbors returning late at night, you would definitely hear them. I am a little fussy with beds, and I found the Vitners King (seemed more like a Cali King?) bed to be a little firm and transferred movement easily. We would consider splurging for the updated rooms next time. Bonus that they have cruiser bikes to borrow. It was very nice to go for a quick ride one of the mornings. The location is fantastic, it's within walking distance to downtown. There are so many great restaurants to visit. In addition, wineries and parks are also a close drive away. Overall a great place to stay and we really enjoyed our visit, thank you!

There was an outdoor sitting area including a big bath tub. There's a nice spa on grounds. You can't easily walk to square but they have a free shuttle in a nice VW van.

It's still not cheap, but comparatively such a good value. The property is very pretty, it's lush with trees, plants, and flowers, making it feel like you're in a quiet garden versus a hotel courtyard. Some of the rooms come with chairs outside the doors, but they also have some benches throughout so it's easy for anyone to enjoy the grounds. The rooms are fairly updated. I stayed here 6 years apart and both times they were clean, comfortable, and didn't feel dated. If anything the showers are a little dated, but it adds some character.

How about when you first drive up the winding drive, and glimpse the first take of the stunning main building. I arrived at night, so all the ambience from the lighting, the moon, the glimmer off the fountain in the middle of the courtyard. Immediately was struck. Then I walked in to check in at the front desk - and I couldn't have been more welcoming. I had just made the marathon drive from Pasadena, CA, and was just tired, hungry and looking to get to the room and get to dinner. But the warm faces and kind words instantly washed the road away from me (and to be honest, the perfectly chilled glass of local champagne certainly helped that too!). They ensured everything was right with the room and with the stay and so I headed out to pick up the puppy from the car and settle up to the room. And then... there is the story of the puppy. Out of all the hotels and resorts I've stayed in - nothing NOTHING compares to the dog friendly (while still wholly human centric) service at this Fairmont. They made me feel like Chance was as much a guest there as I was. And all that isn't even to mention the concierge, the perfect cocktails from the bartender, the beautiful winding paths that guide you through the campus, the world class spa and massages (note - make SURE you check out the quiet room, nothing like it I've ever seen), the OUTSTANDING breakfast under the trees next to the pool... I just don't have time to list it all here. But the cherry on top - really is the people. They just... they are the magic that infuses everything in the building, everything in the resort, everything in the spa. They were there for me at every turn and at every moment, for every need. This couldn't possibly have been better - and I honestly can't wait to return.

Unfortunately, this stay was remarkably disappointing. Our room had an enormous carpet stain. Both TVs repeatedly froze on "Accessing" and reset to the Chromecast screen despite staff trying to fix them. Our in-room dining arrived with soggy fries and brown avocado. Restaurant service was consistently slow, including at Santé, where our waiter disappeared and I eventually had to go looking for someone just to get our check. Our six-year-old was excited about the kids' lounge, but the advertised PlayStation was broken. The restroom across the hall had a toilet full of sewage. We also had parking problems twice. We were told self-parking was $29, but the machine tried to charge us $50 the first time and $53 the second. The front desk later told us we should have received a parking QR code at check-in, but no one had given us one. Finally, a $20 DoorDash delivery disappeared after being delivered to the hotel. No one brought it to our room or contacted us, and the hotel could not locate it the following day. Front-desk lines were substantial virtually every time we needed assistance. A manager did waive our resort fee, which we appreciated. But given the sheer number of problems, that didn't feel proportionate to the experience. We actually considered leaving, but this was my wife's 40th birthday weekend and we had planned the trip around staying here, so we tried to make the best of it. Based on our previous Fairmont stays, we expected considerably better.
