We had a true dining experience at Hotel Sutter - excellent food and exceptional service. The restaurant had a full load with holiday shoppers and families. The servers never missed a beat. This our 3rd time in 2 weeks. All 3 were fabulous

Bar is great and lively. Dining room is all hard surfaces and the placement of a live, a amplified musician at its entrance created a loud environment over which a regular dinner conversation could not be heard. Food was OK but it was not an $85 per person meal, which is what it cost all in.

This is the 3rd time we have been here and it’s a wonderful stop with consistently good food and friendly staff. Definitely worth the stop. I haven’t tried the speakeasy downstairs but would like to.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at Hotel Sutter, especially because there were options to choose from that did not include turkey. Staff was helpful and friendly.

We were really looking forward to lunch in Sutter Creek prior to our wine tasting, celebrating my mom's 79th birthday. We arrived on time for our 11am reservation and then sat there for 25 minutes, waiting. I went to the hostess station twice to see about ordering food as we had additional reservations for tastings for wine. Finally looped one of the hostess into taking our order, then we're handed to another server who took over for the meal. Truly disappointed in our experience.
The Sutter RestaurantResponded on November 17, 2024
Hello Kerri, Thank you for letting us know about this sub par experience. We will be working with our staff to see that this does not happen again, as it is definitely an exception to our normal excellent service. I will message you privately about sending you a gift card to hopefully come back again so we can make it up to you and your mom. We are thrilled to know April did end up helping make the rest of your lunch a nice experience. Thank you so much for sharing so we can work on things!

Food served was barely room temperature. It had been precooked ( not cooked to order) and just warmed up. Quality of steak was poor at best. Manager did comp one dinner and reduced the total check 50 % as well as serving desserts no cost. The waiter was embarrassed. So sad for our friends who were taking my husband and myself out for his birthday dinner.
