“Great lunch today! Yummy calamari bacon street tacos. We will definitely be back!“

“After almost 2 years returned to the Leger for a date night with my wife. Now, the new owners and the Management and Chef are what this town has needed to revive this treasure of a hotel and restaurant. The chef is a culinary dreamer and achiever who seems to be on the path of culinary enlightenment at the Hotel. All courses were layered with a passion and love for food that the Leger has never seen before. I loved the old chefs but they were armature at best of home BBQ kings. Johnathan is a Chef that has the gift that 99% of chefs wish they had. I recommend setting a reservation for a private dinner for 2 and let them take the wheel to create an experience, not just some dinner. Last night was a full circle moment that could have gone horribly wrong, but, not one thing can be complained about nor changed. A perfect evening and there will be more to come.“

“The Pan of Gold (French Toast) is the best!“

“The fish and chips are the best! Good food and staff.“

“Had dinner last night‼️ Clean, attractive and tasty‼️ ??“

“The waitress Sienna was phenomenal! The Duke fries were unique and very tasty. We were celebrating my birthday, and even though we didn't say so, I felt like a VIP. Thank you so much❤️“

“Love this place! Consistently great food and service! Our regular go to place.“

“Billy our server was great!! Huge portions and fast friendly service!“

“Great hashbrowns. All my food was good, but the hashbrowns were worth the cost of the whole meal.“

“I have been all over New England and around California in search of the best clam chowder. I have finally found it in our little gem spot in Sutter Creek, Hotel Sutter. The clams were fresh and perfect texture. Not a fishy taste at all. The nice chunky potatoes were perfectly cooked and perfectly porpotioned! Definitely a MUST try before the season is over.“

“UPDATE May 15, 2026:
I'm so glad I came back to give this course another chance. The course is once again being very well maintained, the fairways and greens are absolutely awesome! My boss and I will be back on a more regular basis as this course is absolutely beautiful!!! The only area of concern would be a lot of the cart paths are extremely rough and could use some attention. Overall, this was an absolutely great course, especially if you're tired of all the flat land courses in the valley.

POST FROM 2023:
It has been a while since I played this course and man has it not been well maintained. The greens are absolutely awful with dead patches on about half of them. So much so that you can't get a read on your put due to the drops and rises. I spoke to the young lady in the pro shop afterwards about it and didn't get any an apology for the condition of the course. This was once one of my favorite courses as it's 6 miles from my house but, I won't be back any time soon since there are so many other courses in the area that ar well maintained and have better pricing. I wouldn't mind paying their price if the course was kept the way it ahould be. I had invited 3 colleagues to play and spent most of the apologizing. Thoroughly disappointed.“

“Once again Chef Eric and his team absolutely slayed it tonight. We had a group of 5. Long distance friends catching up. Not only did they move our table to a better location for small talk after a request but accommodated us in every way . The food was absolutely to die for. The staff were attentive and answered all questions! The wine and craft beers weres also amazing! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to stay the night in this historic location!!! 10/10 and the locals are so friendly! ❤️“

“Has updated furniture and the menus have been re- made. Excellent sandwiches and dessert. Couple of beers, soda & canned drinks. This is inside a converted house. Big groups during warm weather outback offers much room. The inside isn't real roomy. Parking can fill up in warm weather months.“

“Delicious burgers and wonderful service today! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“on 8-4-2025 my wife and i had lunch at your restaurant,i had the mo burger. something just did't taste right, for one the burger was cooked hard as a rock and my wife told me to send it back but i did't. i woke up today sick,and the only thing i ate was the mo burger. i do not want anything i just feel the prep on the food is not being watched, a rock hard burger on a small bun is not what you have served in the past. we eat there several times a month. arnold l ares 209-297-1442“

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“If you’re looking for a top‑tier meal and a full bar in Calaveras County, Gooney’s Bar & Grill is the place. I had their fish & chips and WOW — the fish is perfectly battered and cooked just right, the fries are crisp, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and fun.

Whether you're meeting friends, grabbing an easy dinner after a long day, or just craving something satisfying — this place has you covered.“

“The service was great, but the food sometimes good, sometimes it was not... disappointing 😌“

“Had eggs benedict with side of fruit. The eggs were beautiful and runny on the inside like they’re meant to be. Took a minute for our order to be taken, but that’s fine. Always love the views, coffee is good and they offer for more coffee. Don’t have any complaints and I’ve been here several times over the years.“
