Although we were staying at another hotel, we decided to have dinner at Solbar on our first night in Calistoga--and I knew almost immediately that this place was special. We sat at the bar, where the bartenders welcomed us so warmly. Water was poured right away, complimentary bar bites were offered along with the menu, and the hospitality felt genuinely thoughtful from the start. The service was extraordinary and the cocktails were fantastic, making such an impression that we came back for breakfast on our last day. Chris, our server at breakfast, was amazing. We happened to run into friends seated outside and stepped out briefly to say hello. When we returned, the team had thoughtfully kept our food in the warming oven so it would still be perfectly warm after we finished socializing. That level of attention and care is rare. Between the exceptional food and cocktails, warm welcome, and truly polished service, Solbar was a highlight of our trip. Based on this experience alone, I would absolutely stay at this property the next time I'm in Calistoga. read more

I had a lovely brunch experience at Solbar. I live only a 25 minute drive but still enjoy taking a little drive to enjoy different scenery and a break from the routine especially on a beautiful sunny Sunday. The menu has many great options and my partner Ang I both enjoyed our meals. I had the steak and eggs he had the burger; both cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed some lovely libations from the cocktail menu while we waited for our table. The meal was capped off with the French toast which we shared and the perfect sweet ending. I Look forward to returning soon. Great food and wonderful service. read more

This spot is perfect! The vibe, the lighting, and the decor!!! We made reservations during our stay and were so lucky to sit at the beautiful bar. It was so beautiful and the person working that night was so knowledgeable about the menu. He made many recommendations and explained the menu in full. We ordered the canned tuna which I was on the fence about but so glad we ordered. The presentation was one of the best I have seen and the freshness was out of this world. I had the rockfish which came in a tho broth which was really good but wish maybe I tried something else. My husband had the black cod which was melt in your mouth delicious. Since we had been wine tasting all day we didn't get to have cocktails but I look forward to trying all the creative mixed drinks they were making. Well done spot. read more

Solbar was a pretty and cozy, upscale breakfast spot. We were on a wine trip in Calistoga/Napa and my husband who had worked at Solage hotel a couple years ago, insisted on bringing me in while in town. The decor is beautiful, modern with the prettiest lighting; sphere chandeliers and a fireplace in the dining room. I ordered the Detox Egg White Omelette with goat cheese, mushrooms and spinach. It came with a side of fruit and was delicious. I only wish the omelette filling was a bit more mixed; one side was all mushrooms and bit dry while the other side was all cheese and spinach. Service was great though and very attentive. Enjoyed our experience and would visit again. read more

We haven't been here for a year but Solbar was still a fantastic weekend brunch spot as we remembered. We came on a Sunday at 12:45 and the place was packed. Be sure to make a reservation in advance like we did! Food was stellar - highlights included the steak and eggs, shrimp lettuce wraps and donuts! Service was also accommodating. Great vibes here on their gorgeous patio. Overall a wonderful time! read more

Solbar is a lovely upscale space if you're visiting the area, great service and ambiance. For appetizers we loved the beef tartar with nori, it was a rich a creamy bite. The oysters were small but tender. For mains, the miso black cod was quite good as well as the pork schnitzel, but the halibut was a bit too salty to enjoy. The hotpot left a bit to be desired in my opinion, was presented in a pretty way but not much flavor. read more

What an absolutely wonderful experience we had for lunch! Our waitress Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. Everything from the ambience, food presentation, and decor all made us feel like we were at a really special place. Our group of 4 got - truffle fries - wagyu Reuben - seared ahi tuna burger (the favorite of the group!) - shrimp po boy - fish tacos Everything was so beyond delicious. Opt for the fish tacos if you want a lighter meal. Get the Wagyu Reuben if you're looking for something a little heartier. read more

Everything was fantastic. Chris was a phenomenal server and the manager, Victor I believe, made great recommendations for wineries to visit. The attentiveness, kindness, professionalism, and just overall promptness was such a positive experience. The ambiance was amazing. Shaded outdoor seating, one of the best burgers (Wagyu) I've had. The corn soup...TO DIE FOR. I will be coming back whenever I am back in the Napa area. read more

Cozy and vibey restaurant inside the Solage hotel. I was visiting on a Wednesday for lunch and I loved how there was plenty of parking and the restaurant was super easy to find. It was bit overcast so I was offered a seat by the fireplace! I ordered a sparkling water and the rose crush cocktail, very refreshing and not too sweet. I ordered the wagu cheeseburger with truffle fries and it was juicy and the bun was perfectly buttered and toasted. The fries were the perfect size and came with this yummy lemon aioli...for dessert I had the apple tart that was topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream... the pastry was flaky and the apples were tender and went so good with the ice cream! The serving was amazing and they were attentive just enough! After my meal I found a spot near the restaurant with a fireplace and just lounged around and relaxed. It was the perfect lunch spot, I was told I have to come back and try picobar at the pool! read more

This was one of the highlights of Calistoga and Solage. The food was fantastic...both for dinner and breakfast. For dinner the parker house rolls were buttery perfection. The Black Cod was one of my best meals I've had in a long time...this is so good. The kids had a hamburger, which was one of the better ones I've tasted... The breakfast had all the standard faire and was all delicious. The setting both outside on the tree covered patio or inside the buiding are the perfect Napa Valley dining experience! read more

The venue and the the food at Solbar at Auberge Solage is pretty fantastic. For some reason on this relatively quiet Monday evening it took 10 minutes for the staff to say hello and bring us water after being seated. Once they finally said hello, all went well. The food is incredible. The short rib was melt in your mouth yummy. The chicken "nuggets" were moist and delicious. Dessert was house made with the S'More being extra good. read more

Amazing food! No kidding, this place deserves all the praise! Unfortunately we didn't make the breakfast menu like we planned but I'm happy we waited a few minutes for their lunch hour. We started with the artichoke dip with the bread, and we both had salads with their grilled chicken. The bread melted in your mouth! Delicious! We ended up splitting a dessert even though it was lunch hour, lol! It was some type of lemon cake, it was so soft and flavorful. It reminded me a bit like a strawberry shortcake. If you are in there area treat yourself to SolBar. Note that it is located inside of a resort & spa. We were staying nearby at another spa and walked over. It's a little bit off the regular path but it's not a bad walk, took us about 16 minutes. read more

We had one of the best meals of our lives at the Solbar restaurant tonight. Every time we visit, the food seems to be getting even better. They definitely deserve their Michelin recognition. Tonight we tried the butter lettuce salad - heavenly dressing, Parker house rolls- absolutely delicious, pork schnitzel and a short rib plate. Every bite was delicious, uniquely flavored and elevated to the next level. The service was simply outstanding. This place is by far one of our favorite restaurants in Calistoga. read more

I absolutely loved my 50th birthday breakfast at Solbar before indulging in the Calistoga mud bath experience! Five stars, hands down. Easy reservation, great property and grounds, and lovely ambiance at the restaurant. I checked the menu ahead of time and really wanted both the duck confit benedict and lemon ricotta pancakes, so I told Chris, the server, about that and asked to check if they can do half the pancake order. Little did I know that Chris already had something special cooking - he brought out the little lemon ricotta pancake with blueberry sauce, real maple syrup and a birthday-engraved chocolate piece in addition to my duck confit! Delightful! Very impressed and grateful, definitely recommend this Michelin-star experience and will come back for dinner! read more

Came back after a few years and has a more casual feel than pre covid, the drinks here r awesome. Tried the prickly pear margarita and had 2! We ordered the parker rolls with the crab asparagus dip. ( i felt there wasnt enough dip) very delicious tho! The raw fish appetizer was good, fresh, not alot of flavor. The hot pot i enjoyed and my bf liked the waygu beef. I personally thought it was too fatty. The broccolini was so delicious! This place is still nice but maybe not as good as it was a few years back. read more

Perfect, here's your full Yelp review with all those notes woven in: 3 stars Had lunch at Solbar recently, and while the setting is beautiful, the experience left a bit to be desired. It started with a bent fork in my silverware--small thing, but it set the tone. We ordered sourdough bread and oysters as appetizers, but the timing was off. The bread came with our entrees, and they planned to serve the oysters after the meal, which makes no sense. We ended up canceling the oysters. As for the food: * The Reuben was good, but lacked that zest of flavor you'd expect. * The potato salad had a strange herb in it that we just couldn't get behind. * The black cod miso bowl was good, but could've been great with a little more depth. Drinks were also a mixed bag. My son really enjoyed the Clarified Rum Punch, but my Green Lemonade tasted mostly like cucumber water with a splash of lemonade--not my thing. On the service side, the water server was excellent--friendly and on it. The main waiter was just okay, and we had to ask for the check after a bit of a wait. All in all, it was just okay. Wouldn't rush back, but maybe worth a try if you're in the area and want to enjoy the atmosphere. read more

I just need to give it up for the amazing staff here. Every meal was a delight. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. We love the house smoked salmon at breakfast. The shrimp po boy was immaculate at lunch. The halibut with roe was lovely at dinner. The Black Cod and Rockfish are always solid staples and also I loved the creative spin on the new risotto. Above all, the staff here is so welcoming and kind every time. We appreciate you all. read more

This place was wonderful. Not only was the atmosphere serene and beautiful, but the wait staff was incredibly attentive, and the food was wonderfully flavorful. I honestly feel good about the price that I paid for what I received, and will definitely be returning here when I'm back in the area. I went here on a Tuesday night with a few business associates to have a leisurely dinner. I was not disappointed. I started with a little gem salad, which seemed to have little cheesy crouton bits mixed throughout the salad. It was a nice change from larger croutons, and the salad itself was pretty fresh. For me, the best thing I had was the short ribs. The meat was perfectly tender, easily came off the bone, and whatever flavor and spices used in the meat, only serve to enhance the beautiful flavor of a perfectly cooked short rib. The charred broccolini was also a nice addition, and the entire plate was a good portion. The hazelnut crunch dessert was exactly as promised: like a giant Ferrero Rocher. The beautiful layers of chocolate cream, and hazelnut was absolutely perfect. The next morning, I ended up coming back for breakfast and tried there Chilaquiles with Housemade chorizo. This dish was outstanding! All the flavors from the various components came through on this dish. I could taste the beautifully spiced chorizo, delicious red sauce, sour cream, pico de gallo, and cheese. It tasted so good, I was a little sad when the meal was done. This place will definitely be on my Yelp favorites for a long time. Just outstanding, and I look forward to returning. read more

I had been waiting to try this beautiful restaurant for our girls weekend. We were disappointed by the service and food. Our waiter was about 20 years old and clearly didn't belong serving in such a high end restaurant. A second glass of wine was ordered and he delivered it after our friend's dinner was taken away. Our waiter disappeared for large portions of time during our meal. The rockfish dish was sub par. It advertised "gulf shrimp" that were simply a frozen shrimp like a Chinese restaurant would serve. With 2 small slices of shishito peppers. Three of us ordered this dish and he brought 2 ceramics of coconut broth, telling us 2 of us had to share a carafe. The size difference in fish pieces were a kitchen fail. The rockfish quinoa was mushy. The black cod dish was very good and so was the butterscotch pudding. I would not go back for the price and service/food quality disparity's. read more

During a three-night stay in Calistoga. SolBar was one of our restaurant choices. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and executed well. We were a party of two. The crudo of hamachi was the item we enjoyed most. We ordered the cod and the pork. I order cod often at restaurants, and this one was done very well. This is really picky to mention. I rarely give five stars, and I would have if the server hadn't come across as a bit fake and was trying too hard. It was a turn-off. After dinner, we decided to check out the bar for an after-dinner drink and had an Elephant's Memory. The cocktail was enjoyable. If you like mezcal, you should try this cocktail. The bartender did win a bartender contents with this cocktail. read more

The service and ambiance here is on point. Unfortunately the food quality and plating has changed so much. Oysters were great. Love the way they serve the mignonette and hot sauce. We ordered an oz of caviar. It was served it on top over a half cup of cream fraiche... I was surprised to see them combined the caviar. Also, they didn't give us a non-metallic spoon which I think is a huge miss if you're being served caviar. The blt was good but it was smothered in avocado sauce and was hard to eat. We saw it come out to another table and theirs looked better so maybe it just wasn't our day. read more

The food, the drinks and the service were wonderful! Excellent food and drinks!! I recommend %!!

Food was great and ambiance was extremely appealing being at a stunning location in Napa Valley. Highly recommend their chilaquiles and their fresh sourdough bread. However, the service was a little disappointing. Our waitress forgot about us halfway through the service and we noted it might be due to the automatic gratuity added to parties of 6 or more. While the practice is understandable (I used to serve large tables myself), the lack of service provided because of guaranteed gratuity is not. What could have been a great experience was brought down by lackluster hospitality. Attention was prioritized to the much older white folk sitting outside on the patio and we had to flag down other servers since others seemed to walk right by us unassumingly, even though we were the ONLY large party indoors. Walked away with great food in me, but a bad taste in my mouth. read more
