Jamestown Hotel Restaurant — Restaurant in Sonora

It starts with a crash up ahead on the NB Grapevine out of Los Angeles. Google maps let me know there would be a 55 minute delay. Up ahead? Traffic was coming to a complete stop as I was driving towards Jamestown.

I called the hotel to let them know of my delay. I asked if they had a restaurant and they did. Jeanette suggested to look at their online menu and call back.

Since we were at a complete stop, I looked up their online menu. I called back. I placed my order.

I arrived an hour after their restaurant and lobby closed. I gave a call, as Jeanette suggested, and she came to the door and welcomed me. We had a friendly conversation, took care of all the necessities, and, Jeanette had my food ready.

She warmed my food up, let me know I could eat it on the 2nd floor balcony. The food was delicious as I ate it on the balcony. The balcony overlooked the main street.

The balcony is wide and seemed to run the length of the building. I saw, two smaller tables with cushioned seats with many overhead fans. A couple was sitting at another table on the far side Even arriving after sunset in late July, the overhead fans are needed.

As for the room itself. It was up the stairs and down the hall and lovely. Upon entering, it was clear the air-conditioning was strong. The adjustments to turn the AC up or down were easy to understand.

As I entered my room, I walked immediately into a small sitting room with two chairs and a small table in between. To my left was a taller dresser, with a coffee maker on top.

In the next room, also to my left, was the room with the bed and two dressers, with an over head fan/lights and a smaller lamp on one of the dressers. The bed was soft, so some wouldn't like it, but I did.

Happily, the room did not have a television. It did have WiFi. And I did notice security cameras around the building. For me, I can see that as added safety.

The one thing I would have liked would have been to have the restaurant open for breakfast. It appeared that all around town, and I think it's due to Covid, restaurant serving times all over were considerably varied.

Upon checking out, another friendly person at that time said all I needed to do was set the keys on the counter which I did.

I actually wish I had more time here, but I only had time for the night. It's a lovely old times hotel, I recommend it. I'd stay...

Went for dinner Monday night and then again for breakfast Tuesday. The service was amazing, everyone was really pleasant and the drinks were amazing! I ordered the special Cajun jambalaya, it had mussels, clams, grilled chicken, shrimp, and fish, choice of pasta potatoes or rice. There was like 6 of each pieces of each seafood and a whole chicken breast and piece of fish for $24, well worth it! My boyfriend got a burger that was fresh not frozen and so good, the fries and calamari were good as well. We had a jalapeño cucumber margarita and a grapefruit mint drink from the specials that were both really good. Breakfast we just got basic bacon, eggs, toast and breakfast potatoes with avocado and a Bloody Mary all that was good too! I’ve been to this restaurant before 2 years ago and it was so good! It did not disappoint! Highly recommend this place if your in the area! I won’t go anywhere...

Recently re-opened, and it's wonderful!

We wandered in here after a 24-hour ordeal following a minor car accident in Yosemite, and they turned our trip from a nightmare back into a vacation, and a good one at that.

Charlie and the rest staff here treated us like family. They asked after our car repair and remembered our names!

Food was great. We had an enormous breakfast and it was delicious.

Our room was big, comfortable, clean, and beautiful. We had a note from Connie, the lady who had cleaned the room, inviting us to come down the hall and knock on her door if there was anything we needed.

The second-story porch was a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee (kept hot in the hallway next to the staircase all day, with the ice water), or to wind down and watch the sunset over main street.

We didn't intend to wind up in Jamestown, but we'll go back. The Jamestown...
