"We have been to the fantastic brunch at Sutters Mill on quite a few occasions, but this was our first time for dinner, since they moved to Simi valley. What a fantastic pleasure it was. From the minute you enter to the time you leave everyone makes you feel like you are a part of the Sutter Mill family. The food is excellent ,the steak was like butter, and the Sea Bass should not be passed up. It is hard to make a decision when there are so many wonderful choices."

"Always enjoy our dining experience. Waitresses are helpful, price is moderate and being able to split meals is helpful for those of us who are older and eat less."

"We went to Sutter's Mill to celebrate my birthday. The food was great - the service was terrific and it was an all around wonderful experience. We had two 7-year olds with us. They loved the kids' menu - which is real food and plenty of it. This is a terrific place to go for a good steak."

"We went at 3:30pm and each ordered their popular sirloin steak special.
Service was slow, even though they were not crowded. Even if they didn't put
our steaks on the grill until after we finished the salads, I can't imagine
that a steak takes so long to cook.
Oh, the salads. $7 for such salads? They were just a handful of the lettuce/cabbage
mix from a costco bag - nothing that should justify a price more than $2-$3.
Not even a cherry tomato or tomato slice. The salad dressings were fine, though.
The menu states that the entrees are large enough to share. We did not find that to be true.
The steaks were not "large"... and the baked potatoes were small.
Given the wait for the food we ordered, we had no interest in waiting for

"We had a lovely experience at Sutter's Mill. We sat at the bar as we arrived earlier than our reservation time and the bartender was nice and friendly. The menu was a true steakhouse menu. The filet and australian lobster tail were prepared as we requested along with delicious sides, the stuffed baked potato and asparagus. Our server was efficient and pleasant. We were served a wonderful complimentary dessert, the chocolate cake, as we were celebrating a birthday. It was a pleasant surprise as it was no ordinary chocolate cake. It was delicious! We will dine there again."

"What a find! I didn't know about the restaurant until I found it on Opentable. I set up a business lunch and the restaurant management accommodated me for a quiet booth as I requested. The food and service were outstanding during the visit and I would definitely keep it as a favored restaurant for future meetings as well as other opportunities."
