We had such a good time! We brought out of town friends and they loved the decor and atmosphere. Our server, Rob, was attentive and personable. Our drinks came quickly and our orders followed in a timely manner. I can highly recommend the chicken pot pie. The pie was buttery and flaky and the chicken filling was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We can also recommend the Poki salad, prime rib and mahi mahi. We shared the Apple Carmel bread pudding. It was so good!

This restaurant is in a great location. The balcony dining area is really wonderful on a warm night. The historic hotel is lovely. Our experience on this night was not great. We waited an hour for our food and it came out cold. We returned the Main courses and left after having a salad, bread, and wine, which we agreed to pay for. They were nice enough to comp us for the dinners, and we declined the offer to take them with us. The curious part is our bill was much more than what we signed when we left. I am never fond of restaurants adding on charges to a bill that I’m not familiar with. It is even more disappointing to find the extra charges on my credit card after I get home. This has happened to us several times when we visit California restaurants when traveling. My only caveat is to check the bill carefully and take the receipt with you.. I AM ADDING AN EDITED COMMENT TO THIS REVIEW. THE RESTAURANT WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE THE ERROR CORRECT AND I WANT TO SHOUT THAT OUT. APPARENTLY THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT, WHICH CAUSED THE PRICING ERROR. ANYWAY, WHEN A BUSINESS GOES THE EXTRA MILE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT IT’S HIGHLY APPRECIATED. WE WILL BE BACK TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY👍
The Sutter RestaurantResponded on October 22, 2026
Thank you Debbie for letting us know about the incorrect credit card charge. We are pulling the credit card receipt today and absolutely will credit you back any incorrect charges. This was definitely an accident as the young man that was serving you is one of our best long term team members born and raised in Amador County who would never add extra charges to a bill. We appreciate your patience as we look into this and fix right away. We also apologize for the cold dinner entrees. Our kitchen will now be using plate covers for all dinner entrees served on the balcony. Please watch your email for copies of the receipt as well as our credit back to your card.
