   Had a fabulous meal. The staff were so helpful and made our entire party (4 adults, a 6 month old snd a large goldendoodle) completely comfortable celebrating the Grandmas birthday. Will definitely be back …often!

   I understand the staffing challenges that the service industry is currently facing, and I always keep that in mind when dining out. That said, service was painfully slow and the restaurant was not busy. The food was lackluster in general, and my seafood was not fresh. Very rarely do I write negative reviews, but this was overall a disappointing dining experience for me.

   We had a wonderful server. However, we had to send an entrée back several times and they still were unable to get it right. The server handled it beautifully but the restaurant did not. Food was tasty but overpriced

   We had a reservation, in which we specifically requested to be seated outside, when we arrived we requested to be in the shade. We were taken to a table which was not in the shade, passing two empty tables in the shade. There was no explanation why we couldn’t be seated at one of the other tables when we went back up to inquire. Unfortunately, the hostess was very non communicative regarding our request and while we were finally able to be seated at one of the open shaded tables, the whole experience was very unpleasant.

   Service was fine though the waitress never came to ask how our food was until 20 mins after it was served. Had she asked, I would have told her that my medium rare $65 filet was only cooked on one side, so tar tar.

    I visited SolBar while on a trip to the wineries! I was extremely impressed with the customer service. It smelled and looked very clean and really just the perfect ambiance for relaxing and recharging! We sat inside and were quickly attended. Server checked on us often to ensure we were helped and happy. I really appreciate good service and ambiance, it highly impacts on my overall experience! Before food came, our server delivered seasonings for our meals (sauces, salt and pepper, etc..) < this is so important and something many restaurants forget to do! Silverware and glassware looked like it was carefully cleaned with no smudges, I am sooo grateful of places that care about this! I started with the Spicy Gulf shrimp lettuce wraps with napla sauce.. OMG!!! I can eat this everyday! They served the sauce with a dropper which I really liked! Then, I had the cremini and truffle soup with a sandwich which was also amazing! My foodie son had the spicy fish tacos and he kept making “oh wow” sounds and I didn’t get to try it.. tells me how good they were :) They were very accommodating to children and had a kids menu and options! They had a sweet tea complimentary bar with agave that my kids really enjoyed! Looking forward to returning and trying everything in their menu!

    Food was good but the service was really poor. I understand all restaurants are under staff and it really felt this way. The cocktails took a long time to come. We had to pour our own wine which is ok but not at the prices they charge at this restaurant . My husband’s prime rib wasn’t that great. My duck was excellent, so was our crispy merengue dessert.

    Food was wonderful but was a disappointment that the service was not up to the level standards of the restaurant. We had to flag our waiter down for a second Mimosa. We had to ask for more water. We were not attended to in the way we thought would’ve been appropriate.

    Solbar was recommended and we arrived on time for our reservation. After being seated with menus we sat for 15 minutes before receiving water and being acknowledged. The wait continued another 5-6 minutes before a waiter appeared and asked for our drink order. My husband asked for the drink menu and we put in our food order. The food arrived by a food runner but still no drink order. Finally the waitress stopped by asking about the food and then for the drink order. Our fish tacos were good but not outstanding for a high end resort and restaurant. The service was less than acceptable and would not return or recommend to anyone else.

    Our waitress, Stephanie, was AMAZING! The food was great and came out hot. The cocktails were also pretty good but not the best I’ve ever had. We were skeptical because the restaurant is in a hotel and we were not staying at Solbar Hotel. Even if you aren’t staying here, go eat at the restaurant. It certainly was worth it.

    The staff were kind and my server was attentive and lovely. The food however was 100% sub par. Oysters on the 1/2 shell were too soft underneath and mushy where they should have been firm, and though displayed on the typical plate of ice, they were close to room temperature,which is both unappetizing and dangerous.They were clearly not freshly delivered that day. I really tried to enjoy, but couldn’t and sent them back. I then took a chance and ordered ceviche. The taste was fair at best. Chips were great ! Extremely small portion for the cost, which I don’t at all mind if the flavors pop. The dish again did not scream fresh to me and the temp was not appropriate, it was to low, it should have been nicely chilled. I just took it home.I didn’t want to send it back too. Unlikely ill eat it, as the whole culinary experience has left me underwhelmed and disappointed. I left really hungry and out $100 for food and drink. I left my server a $20, as this was not her fault, plus, i just wanted to get outta there. So all in all , it came to $120 for 2 drinks that did enjoy. Ive been coming to Sol bar for a decade, this is the third bad experience with the overpriced and not so fresh oysters situation at Sol Bar, and my last. If they are fresh and fab,I don’t mind the price, not a bit. I understand the hefty up charge at resorts like this so its my choice, I just don’t want bad food, nor should I have bad food from a resort such as Solage . I will be back, but next time, just for a cocktail and Sol fries at the bar. No room for disappointment in that. Thank you for your time Barbara

    We stayed in downtown Napa, but we ventured up to Calistoga for a spa day and more adventures. We stumbled upon this restaurant which is part of a larger Solage resort. The brunch menu was small, but very reasonably priced and the food was incredible! The property is stunning and offered gorgeous views. Pro tip: we left a glass for the staff/compliments to the chef from the bottle we brought with us, and they waived our corkage fee- apparently common practice in wine country!

    Solbar is a terrific place to enjoy lunch between wine tastings. We wanted our friends from NJ to have the perfect day in Napa, so we booked Solbar. We had an amazing wine host at Duckhorn, which made us 30 mins late to lunch. I had spoken with the hostess at Solbar, and she did a terrific job to address our tardiness. As always, the service was outstanding, the food was delicious, the wine was wonderful, and the setting as Solbar is always so nice. Thank you for a very nice lunch experience.

    Solbar is very nice. The food is good, the service is good. It is very good, but did not totally blow me away. It is also out of the way to get there from the downtown area, so I don’t know if I’ll be back.

    During our weekend in Calistoga, we got brunch here and at Lovina. The food and ambiance was good both places, but the value was so much more at Solbar. Lovina was actually much more expensive and it did not feel worth it to us. But let’s talk about Solbar. Ambiance: The view of the pool and grounds is very inviting with an immediate cue of “relax” or vacation vibes. We sat next to a fountain that had a fireplace running down it, which was very nice to watch. There are people swimming in the lap pool, so if you enjoy people watching, this may be fun for you. Food: The donut holes are a must. So delicious and it comes with an espresso and chocolate dipping sauce. A great way to start with your coffee. My partner got the avocado toast which was gorgeously presented, covered with cashews and seeds and sprouts, etc. I got the standard breakfast, I can’t remember what they call it, but basically eggs, potatoes, bacon. Everything was delicious. Service: You arrive at a hostess stand and the restaurant was pretty quiet still for brunch. Lots of room to sit outside, so we were given an option of tables which is always nice. We were brought coffee quickly and ordered. Timing of dishes was good and many servers passing offered to clear plates to make room on the small table. Country Club type servers are always the most professional in my experience. Really recommend this as a romantic or relaxing brunch. And You can bring your dog, which is always a plus for me as well.
