On approximately 11/18/24, using OpenTable, I made a reservation for two at 5:30-6:00p.m. on Tuesday, 12/24/24 (Christmas Eve). 7-10 days later, I received a phone call from restaurant staff advising the reservation time needed to be moved up due to early closing. Seems OpenTable parameters had yet to updated by staff prior my making the reservation. The latest time I could get was 3:30p.m. and I, somewhat begrudgingly, accepted. We showed up at the assigned time to find the kitchen was essentially "closed," and a buffet was the only option (@$42). We, somewhat begrudgingly, accepted this "option." The food, in my opinion and experience, was of low quality consisting mostly of typical motel breakfast items. After the reservation was adjusted by staff, I received an OpenTable confirmation of the new time. That email contained a link to "See Menu." When clicked, I am taken to your actual menu not the "special" buffet. Our experience at the restaurant was not a pleasant one. We spent Christmas Eve at the hotel. Accommodations were acceptable and modern upgrades appreciated. A faster elevator and/or fewer stairs would be welcomed by this couple with some moderate mobility issues. Of course, we could have better planned what floor to stay on.

Hi Rick, We deeply apologize for the miscommunication. You are correct that on Nov. 18th we did not have Open table updated to reflect our Christmas Eve hours. This is an experience that is definitely an exception to our normal excellence. We would love to make it up to you by sending you a gift card to visit us again. Please message us privately your address or email so that we can make this up to you. Thank you so much and Happy New Year!!!

After having a poor experience a month ago for my husbands birthday the Hotel Sutter Restaurant sent us a gift certificate. Our dinner last night was totally different ( positively amazing)! We started downstairs at the Copper Room Bar (great drinks and great ambiance and very versatile bar tender). We then upstairs to the restaurant and was given a choice table and an additional scotch which we had in the Copper Room. The dinner ( veal shanks and a wedge) was absolutely delicious! We were treated to ice cream and homemade carmel sauce ( again very yummy). The Hotel Sutter Restaurant has renewed our faith in coming back. Thank you staff at the Hotel Sutter Restaurant. I encourage any visitor to Sutter Creek to enjoy a special meal at the Hotel Sutter.

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.
