One of the best dinners I've had in a long while. My boyfriend had the western style cheeseburger and I had the New York steak both prepared exactly as we request and both delicious. The burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had! And a glass of champagne is only $4!!! Good happy hour too! The upstairs bar is very nice and the cellar bar has a great atmosphere! read more

We were so disappointed :( We made reservations many weeks in advance, and were seated immediately (awesome), but it took our party of six an hour to get our food. At that point we expected everything to be exceptional, especially a $31.00 medium rare steak! Unfortunately it was done, nothing close to rare with no steak juice to be seen. Asked the waitress to send it back for a new one, which she did so graciously with the statement that our bill would be adjusted as well. Our entire party waited another 10 mins for my steak (I apologize now to the person who was probably supposed to get that one and had to wait). It did come a whole lot faster than its 1 hour predecessor, and it was very tender but lacked flavor. The pesto mashed potatoes were not memorable, but the vegetables were good. Another $31.00 steak eater had the same impression with their steak dinner (however they did get theirs medium as requested the first time), a hamburger eater said it was good, the Mac n Cheese was flavorful but very lacking in the cheese department, the other two meals were rated as so-so. The sweet potato fries did get great reviews. At the end of our $200 dinner (with 2 bottles of wine), we found no adjustment to our bill. After bringing it up to the manager, it was revealed that they did take $3 off, that is what they felt was fair, and under no consideration would they adjust it any further! My question is why even offer? That was an insult. We came to this establishment in good faith of a great dinner and great service and we got neither. I don't believe the lack of great service was the waitress's fault, as she was working as fast as she could. It was management's! This was a major county event weekend and to have one waitress for 8 tables of 6 or more people was not good practice. Obviously the kitchen was under staffed as well. When they stated they would adjust the bill, I expected that at least that plate would be reduced by at least 25%, or maybe a free dessert, or cocktail. They did nothing to ensure that our party would ever return to this establishment for a second chance, and we will definitely not return or recommend it to anyone. Our party spent over $1,000 on food, lodging , and wine in Amador County this weekend. We didn't expect special treatment from anyone, and this was our only let down. read more

My husband and I were in the mood for a really amazing burger with interesting toppings but didn't feel like dealing with the pretentiousness from most of the restaurants that serve them. Our Yelp search led us to either really high end sit down establishments or low end diners...but nothing in between. By complete accident, I stumbled upon Hotel Sutter and their menu of burgers was exactly what we were looking for. We called, made a reservation and headed over. Once there, we were disappointed to learn that the dining room doesn't serve burgers but the hostess quickly explained that we could sit in the bar area for a burger. The bar was only a room away and just as inviting (if not more!) Our server, Marisa, who also happened to be the bartender and the only person handling that entire room (approx 10 seats at the bar and 6-8 bar tables) was an amazing multi-tasker who kept a smile on her face the entire time! She was quick, attentive and offered just the right amount of attention to each guest. I went with the 1853 (applewood bacon, bbq sauce, cheese & fried onions) cooked medium w/garlic fries. My husband ordered the 1858 (jalapeño relish, buffalo sauce & pepper-jack, although he asked for no cheese, and also cooked medium w/sweet potato fries. The burgers came out in a good amount of time and my only complaint (which is why I couldn't give 5 stars) was because his had cheese and, although it was quickly replaced, it was came back to the table cooked medium well. Nonetheless, the burgers, fries and service were OUTSTANDING! We had cheesecake for dessert and I cant wait to return to try the fried Brussels sprouts and the cast iron mac&chz. I cant say enough great things about our server. Aside from the way she was able to successfully juggle everyone's requests, she was also faced with a situation involving a mother so eager for an alcoholic beverage that she showed up to the bar with her small child and, inappropriately, expected to be served. Marisa found a solution that kept the child just far enough away from the bar to be legal (but not so far that it was unsafe) and still allowed mom to order her cocktail, pay and get back to her kid. Well played! We'll be back! read more

I had a very enjoyable afternoon here. The staff was friendly. The atmosphere is Gold Rush era and the food was good. Sutter Creek is very nice little town to visit. read more

We live nearby. Been a couple of years since we have visited. Went for lunch today. Wait staff was friendly . I ordered the Cal-Fire burger, moh had the Prime Rib Dip. And we had the cheese fondue for app. I ordered my burger medium. The burger was big at least 1" thick. It arrived rare. I requested a new burger. It arrived shortly. The new burger was smashed to bits. Was less then 1/2" thick. The beef was in pieces. The make up the difference in size the guy added like 2 cups of tiny fried onions which was just a pile of goo. I had to scrap it off. I ate half the burger and was gonna bring the other half home but there was just bits of mashed burger and was gross. The fondue came warm, not hot. This was a $60.00 Lunch for 2. Drinks were water and one Iced Tea. read more

This review is for dinner only, we did not stay at the hotel. Ambiance: 4 star-- cool interior, looks like it's been recently remodeled. Restoration hardware meets old school charm. Service: 3.5 star-- amateur, friendly, sincere, locals. Food: 3 star. If you like large portions, you'll love it here. For many, it might be 5 star food. However, I rarely dole out 5 stars, unless it's exceptional, so take this review for what it is. Bread (two types-- one tasted like the Costco whole grain bread, and the other was a tasty cheese jalapeño bread, accompanied by butter and a gremolade-- nice touch). We started with the fried brussels sprouts w/ lemon aioli-- tasty and relatively inexpensive ($7, if I recall). I ordered the $18 beef short ribs w/ mashed potatoes (changed to pesto mashed potatoes at the recommendation of the server). I was hoping for something similar to the short ribs at Hawk's in Granite Bay (wonderful restaurant). However, these short ribs were more like a stew. Lacking in flavor and depth, but a huge serving, accompanied by a side of steamed carrots and snow peas (looked like they were from Costco). They were actually quite tasty. Hubby ordered the Ribeye with mushrooms-- again, a huge portion. Flavor was OK, but he didn't finish it. They comped a birthday dessert ($8 tiramisu), which was a nice touch. Overall a cool restaurant in a neat little town. Check it out. read more

As locals of the area, we decided to try the hotel for dinner. We called for reservations and asked for a front window table (wasn't available), but no problem. As we walked up and entered, I noted an empty table right where we had asked, and the hostess gave it to us!! Our server (Shelby-Rae) was awesome and recommended the shrimp pasta, which we both chose. Asking us for our drink selections, I chose Pepsi, which they had (should have a 6th star just for that). Bread, homemade butter, and salad (vinaigrette with basil) were outstanding. The pasta was awesome, just the right portion, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. Dessert was awesome, as was the coffee, which offered honey along with the normal sugar selections. Oh.... the garlic fries we had as an appetizer were great too. The staff was very attentive, came around ofter to ask how things were, and refill drinks. The manager stopped by to chat and was sincere, not fake. Having taught customer service for many years, I was impressed with the training of the staff, and how the practiced what they were taught. Will go back again!! Ed & Amber read more

This was an ok meal. The waitstaff was swamped, and doing their best, but it was clear they needed more staff on. I was served an underdone filet (quite the feat) cover with white gravy. My spouses lamb was excellent. read more

The service was slow, the food was....eh and it was too expensive for the quality. My chicken had a big bloody spot in it and was brought back to me by the waitress explaining it was just a vein and it had been cooked thoroughly, but who wants to eat chicken with a big bloody spot? There was nothing good about our meal, the service, or the price. read more

Nice place for lunch. A historic old hotel that has recently went through a face lift and they did a fine job. Interesting cocktail list and some of the best fried Brussels sprouts I've had in a long time . Give it a try! read more

Great upscale rustic ambience in the heart of downtown SC. We enjoyed a couple glasses of wine and a salad and appetizer in the bar area. Menu is continental. Something for everyone. Quick, pleasant service. Great way to spend the day after exploring/shopping downtown SC. read more

Worst food I have ever tried to eat sent it all back o service o knowledge of the menu and a chef that should get a job at McDonald's.

We stopped at Hotel Sutter restaurant for dinner and had a very nice experience. Our server, Elizabeth, was friendly and attentive. We ordered Eggplant Parmesan and Scampi Fettuccine with side salads and sweet potato bread. For dessert, we had a Burgundy Poached Pear. The food was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back for another enjoyable meal. read more

This place has promise. Great venue with tables close to the street with doors opening onto street. Unfortunately the food is mediocre. Went one night when I wanted comfort food. Had the macaroni and cheese with crab. Could find no crab. Hubby had pork chops which he said were good. Might go back for another try. read more

We had such a wonderful dining experience at Hotel Sutter this past Saturday. This was a last minute road trip we decided to take and we are so glad we ended up here for dinner. We brought a bottle of wine thinking we would probably have a steak but when we saw some hamburgers delivered to the table next to us we quickly changed out minds. We were not disappointed at all!! The burgers were cooked to perfection and paired nicely with our Barbara. If you come here you must order the Brussels sprouts, they are absolutely the best I have ever had! The service was amazing, unfortunately I can't remember our servers name but she was outstanding! Thank you Hotel Sutter, we will be back! read more

One star because I can't give you any less. I've never walked out of a restaurant in my life. Congrats Hotel Sutter Restaurant, you're my first. We dined here in a Sunday, a phrase I'm loosely throwing around, because after ordering an appetizer and two entree salads, we were completely ignored. The waiter said he'd be back for our drink order but he never came back, we asked someone else and he said we'd have to wait for our waiter. Hmmmmm. We've already tried that but okay. Our entrees were quickly dropped off, but still no appetizer. We were told it was on the way. 20 minutes later, still no drink, still no appetizer, still no waiter. What the heck? We put a few bills on the table and walked to the pub across the street. Sheesh, you're pretty much the only game in town on a Sunday evening, but that doesn't mean you can ignore your guests. I really hope another restaurant opens up in town soon, and offers what you cannot, service. read more

This place is absolutely horrible and chef Albert is deff not making changes for the good, I've heard nothing but complaints and to be told by the chef you can't order certain food Togo is a joke read more

Fantastic menu, great tasting food and really good service. Definitely a place you have to visiting when coming to Amador County

Food was cold, fettuccine Alfredo sauce was runny with no flavor. Poor service and quite a disappointment. We rarely ever complain but this was terrible. We will not be back. read more

Worth your while to come check out this little gem. Open for lunch or dinner. Eat out on the balcony to overlook the town and take in the rich history. read more

Kudos to everyone. Friendly service and really good food. The staff made our anniversary dinner extra special. My wife and I especially enjoyed the old west mixed with contemporary settings. We would recommend this restaurant for others to try. read more

I live here locally and have dined there twice recently. The table service is a bit mediocre and the menu is limited. The food is about average in my view. We usually like to go there because the Sutter Creek theater is across the street so it's quick walk. read more

This place is overrated! Service is very good, but the food fell short of what was expected. Might have been an off night for the cook as their entire staff was more interested in seeing the Warriors game than paying attention to quality cooking! read more

I love Hotel Sutter! We have a part-time home close to downtown and we take all our visitors there! Great food & friendly service!

We all enjoyed our dinners and drinks. Our waitress accomodated 13 of us women, even after a day of wine tasting, though not sure the rest of restaurant patrons liked us much. LOL read more

We came for dinner. The prices were high so we thought the food must be good. We were pretty disappointed in the low quality of the food. I ordered salmon and my first thought was the skimpy portion and it looked dry. Sure enough my first bite was crispy, crunchy and tasteless. The veggies were more raw than cooked. I know veggies shouldn't be overcooked but these definitely could have used a minute or two more on the fire. I think I can count on one hand the amount of times I've sent food back or complained but, I just could accept the fact that this was such inferior food for the price. We sent the food back and asked them to try again. The second time around was better although still not the quality you would expect for the price. Our server was very pleasant though and attentive. It looks like they have some interesting gourmet burgers so maybe they should just stick lunch meals. read more

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Sutter this past weekend and decided to have a light dinner in their restaurant. We ordered the Steak and Mushroom Soup. The soup was more of a broth and was salty. The real problem was the soup was room temperature! Yuk. The salad dressing (basil vinaigrette) was way too sweet for me. Not the best dinner for either of us. read more

My husband and I dine there recently and both of us had an excellent meal. I had a braised beef dish which was delicious, served with mashed potatoes and a tasty vegetable medley. My husband had a mushroom ravioli dish which was also quite good. If you only have one night for dinner in Sutter Creek, this is probably your best choice. read more

Friday, 11May17 Have been here several times and really enjoyed all dinners. Brought my brother and sister-in-law after saying how good it was. Ordered the NY, rare, my brother the salmon, wife a chicken Pita, my sister-in law the pasta special with chicken. After a very long wait we were served. My brothers salmon was quite small, mashed potatoes were cold, butter would not melt at any point, vegetables overcooked. My wife's chicken pita was rock hard, only the top cold be eaten. My sister-in law had a wonderful hot meal and enjoyed her pasta a lot. That is why the two stars. My steak was cold, along with the potatoes. Butter was still hard when served and only slightly soft over time. The steak, while being advertised as a NY and looking like one, even good sized, was awful. Cooked rare but there was so much connective tissue going through almost half was uneaten. Small pieces could be carved off and eaten. It appeared to be rare but had no juices running. I did comment and the waitress after the meal. She showed the chef and returned with the comment it was a tenderloin cut. Didn't quite explain the toughness and connective tissue. Seems the winter didn't treat the restaurant well and the normal chef was no longer there. I wish them well but will have to make another choice on our next trip. read more

Met friends for lunch Easter Sunday, only food available was an Easter Brunch. The brunch ended at 3;00 pm so we decided to have a couple of drinks in the bar and wait so we could order from the menu. The bartender, a young lady, was more interested in parading around in her Easter bunny ears than being a good and attentive bartender. The food was ok, the ambiance good, the service, poor. read more

We ate there on Sunday the 19th. Three of us ordered cheese burgers with fries and one of us ordered the wedge salad and chili. We have been here before and had a bad experience but that was a year ago so we thought we would give it a try. We are are all sorry that we did. I mean when you can't make a burger to order there is a real problem in the kitchen. The meat in each burger was cooked incorrectly and mine was raw except for the outer layer. The french fries were dropped in the oil a couple of times to many and dripping grease when lightly squeezed. I did get credit for my burger but I made the mistake of eating more than half of it first because I was hungry. The chili was loaded with cumin and cayenne. I cannot recall having worse chili. This is the my all time worst. We also received credit for the chili. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. They shouldn't be allowed to serve food here. I have a concern about the sanitary conditions. read more

Food was fabulous and service friendly and excellent. first time eating here. We'll be back

First time visiting historic Hotel Sutter Restaurant. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Very friendly and attentive staff. Service was great and the food was perfectly prepared. Will definitely visit again. read more

The new restaurant is quite delicious! Service was great, and the updates are impressive! Love the open window wall. Prices are definitely reasonable. We will be back! read more

We had a great time at an event at the Hotel Sutter a couple months ago. It was a Winemaker's Dinner with a great local winery and a wonderful meal pairing prepared by the Hotel's chef. There was a tomato and red pepper soup that was so scrumptious. It's one of the best soups I've ever had. I sopped up every drop with the bread. Wishing I had some now on this rainy day made me remember I should post a review. Mmmm. read more

I had lunch with my 7 year old son here and we both were treated to exceptionally kind service and delicious food.

Amazing food, service and European piazza atmosphere. A MUST dining and lodging experience when in Sutter Creek, in their beautiful historic hotel. read more

My husband and I had lunch here last Saturday. We would go back in a heart beat! The brussels sprout appetizer was excellent so were the sweet potato fries. The decor is very hip and current. Love the hardwood floors. Had the house beer, very good. I highly recomment this place for food/drink/ambience. read more

Great historic hotel and restaurant. Nice casual elegant buffet breakfast Sunday at a great price, $15! Although the potatoes were bland, the rest of the food was good, great coffee and a free mimosa! Definitely would like to go back, the town is so quaint and the shops cute. Really want to hang out at the Cellar on a Saturday night in the future, a really comfortable and cozy space located downstairs with lots of couches, chairs and beers on tap. read more

Well the old Portabella Mac and Cheese was to die for, literally! We frequent this place weekly, the Rib-Eye is amazing, the Veggie sandwich is great, Salmon wonderful and salads fresh. Service wonderful. I had fresh Pear Sangria a few weeks ago and it was AMAZING too. I do have a suggestion for that upstairs bathroom ........that Blinded By the Light turquoise paint needs to go, although it definitely wakes you up when you open that door! Haven't stayed at the hotel so can't rate it but the hallways upstairs do remind me of a scene from the Shining (the two little girls wooing to play).......I'd love to stay but my fiancée isn't into scary......unfortunately! read more
