    Solviva, the sunshine is alive!! Even under cloudy skies. We spent the day exploring Terranea Resort grounds, especially the look outs, gardens, the beach, the cave and a lot of beautiful spots in Rancho Palos Verdes... But this hidden and I mean hidden gem inside the Terranea Spa right by the poolside was one we were glad we tried. At first when walking over you'll see a sign for Solviva that leads to the pool, but this is not the entrance... You actually have to enter the Spa and go past reception toward the outside. The restaurant is on the right just outside the doors with tables and chairs throughout for dinning. They have fresh water dispensers and great table service. We had a wonderful server and our food came out pretty promptly. You can view the menu online easily, but I believe they can also have physical copies available upon request. It's a streamline menu of healthy eats and reasonable portions (not too big). Open for breakfast, lunch and cocktails including Zero Proof mocktails, wine and beer. For starters/apps it's classic chips and salsa, chips and guacamole, a hummus plate or seasonal fruits & berries. Breakfast - you can do overnight oats, rich avocado sweet potato + egg plate, raw chia seeds morning bowl yogurt granola, lox bagel or a combination of their sides like the breakfast potatoes, toasts, etc. Lunch has entrees in the form of salads, toast, flatbread, sandwiches/burgers or a wrap. The Vegan Flatbread was plentiful and loaded with zest. Savory rich goodness with each bite. My lunch date/super boyfriend has the Spa Cafe Signature Grilled Chicken Sandwich which has caramelized onions, dijon, in-house strawberry jam and other loaded sandwich favs. A bit messy of a lunch item with so many toppings, but he loved every bite and drop of jam. Some fun seasonal desserts on the menu such as the Vegan Apple Crisp and Macerated Seasonal Berries (fruit compote, plant-based vanilla gelato served with a warm chocolate chip cookie)... I was honestly full, but those desserts will have to happen next time for sure. With the near the pool vibe, soft breeze, plant life all around and beautiful layout I'm definitely a fan. We did self-parking up near the main entrance for the resort, but valet is available. Reasonable for the area and the resort, even as tourists for the day. I know if you're a guest you can acquire some discounts and perks for restaurants. Open from 9am to 5pm daily. Q Tip: Additionally Solviva offers a weekend Sips and Sunsets every Friday and Saturday from 4pm to 7pm that includes tasting, live music and charcuterie that is a pretty good deal per person. Check it out! Not sure if the flowers in the food are edible... inquire within.

    Solviva is such a cozy little spot for your post-spa palette! Sitting pool AND oceanside, you can wine and dine in a robe or bikini, eating food that is absolutely guilt free! YEP! The menu is so so healthy and refreshing and is a completely different culinary experience! My favorites of the night were the mushroom flatbread, lamb loin and green bean salad. They have sauces for everything and I cannot describe how amazing they are. They all complement the dishes so well and I highly recommend you try this while at Terranea! If you're just eating here, it is a little walk from the lobby. You'll want to follow signs leading to the spa, but expect to go up and down a few flights of stairs. Not to worry though, the view is breathtaking so you'll already be out of breath before the stairs hahah. I highly recommend!

    Solviva is the "healthy" restaurant that is located next to The Spa. My wife and I came here to eat breakfast and it was really quiet and peaceful. I got the Steak and Egg and my wife got the Turkey Sausage and grilled veggies. Our meal was solid and the service was good. We also got 15% off our bill due to a promotion that was going on.

    Matcha Mojita - very refreshing
    Anurag S.

    Totally loved this place and the service. 5 STARS!! This place is a little hard to find and tucked away near the spa and the ocean side, you need to take the stairs below the main lounge near the bungalows and go around Nelson's. We were staying at the resort and decided to check out this place for lunch before heading to our spa appointment. We were celebrating our Babymoon and our server Maureen totally made our day. Since my wife is pregnant, Maureen made sure to book a great spot for us at the pool after our spa with a Oceanside view. My wife is vegeterian and I am trying to switch to a vegan diet and there were only a few options on the menu but our server Maureen was so great in explaining the menu and even descried the specials very well. We started off with a Matcha Mojito and a Kombucha with a Wild Mushroom special appetizer that was on the menu that day. For the entree we went for vegeterian/vegan options - Farro Bowl and Purple Potato Flautas. Both entrees were very unique and very nicely done with ingredients fresh from Terranea farms. Matcha Mojita - 5/5 (Mojito with a Matcha twist) Kombucha - 5/5 Wild Mushroom Taco - 5/5 (taco with Hen mushrooms) Farro Bowl - 5/5 Purple potato Flautas - 5/5 Service - exceptional !!! Flourless chocolate cake - 5/5 Thank you so much to out sweet server Maureen who even went all the way to Serve us a complementary flourless cake for our Babymoon!!

    Terranea just revamped their spa cafe and opened it earlier this week as Solviva. It's in a lovely setting by the pool in the spa area. It has some kinks to be worked out, as our waitress seemed a bit green and unpolished, although she was polite and eager to please. It was more how she phrased things that could be put more eloquently, like when she described why the portions are so small (the restaurant is supposed to be wellness-centric). The main reason for the 3-star review is the food itself. It's passable but not particularly fulfilling. My husband's steak was cooked pretty well but lacked seasoning. My turkey sausage didn't have a well-balanced flavor profile but it was all right. As promised, the portions were quite small. I didn't necessarily mind this, and it was nice to go into my massage without a heavy stomach, but I think that small healthy meals can still be satisfying from a flavor standpoint. I know that Terranea is constantly evaluating how they can improve the resort so I'm sure things will continue to evolve, but for now, the food isn't going to bring me back.

    Flourless Chocolate Cake

    After a 30 mile bike ride, we rewarded ourselves with a delicious lunch at Solviva, a dining spot we stumbled upon during our visit to La Terranea. We were actually headed to Nelson's and right before getting there saw the sign for Solviva in front of a stunning pool and canopy. Delighted to discover this private space, healthy, fresh food with very particular selections. Service was impeccable, Aleks took care of us, with a deep understanding of the menu, from ingredients to preparation methods. I regularly have bone broth and this was definitely homemade, the 7 day process is true. So rich. We started with a mushroom mezze and my husband had the turkey sausage sandwich, both outstanding. Aleks was kind enough to treat us to a flourless chocolate cake, perfect taste, portion, and style. Thank you for a +5* experience, can't wait to return.

    Ice cube fee
    Dallas T.

    When you order a $14 drink, they will also charge you $2 for the ice (regular nothing special ice cube). Super tacky, figure it out Solviva.

    The Hen of the Woods tacos are marked Vegetarian on the lunch menu, but VEGAN on the dinner menu, and I didn't see any difference in the ingredients. I'd like to know before I go. Does anyone know?

No one checked on us, it took way too long to get served and when we finally did, it was with an attitude. Our appetizer order was also forgotten.

And after a number of years patroning the Four Season's Beverly Hills brunch on Doheny I wanted to try something new. There's not many decadent, birthday worthy brunch options in our post Covid world. So when I found this one, read the menu and saw the price point I was ALL in. And my goodness it blew last year at the four seasons away by a lot!!! (They dipped significantly after Covid - not the same value). The Trump had EVERYTHING you could want in a brunch. Sushi, free flowing champagne, prime rib, crepes, crab, waffles, eggs Benedict, pancakes, chocolate dipped fruit, breads, bagels, cheeses, salad, Korean short ribs, shrimp, shrimp scampi, pasta, omelettes, oysters, fruit & figs, and sausage & bacob. I know for a fact I am missing offerings. It was world class, A+ with live music and wonderful service. The views of the pacific were gorgeous on our blustery day. My goodness it was so pretty. We were not rushed at all. It wasn't cramped or crowded. I loved it! And I'd definitely make this a recurring birthday treat for him. It was absolutely worth it.

The view is beautiful, but the kitchen was extremely disappointing. Service was ok, took a while to get a drink and never was offered a refill but forgivable on a busy day. Unfortunately food was so bad, I couldn't give this place anything other than 1 star. Even if the price was $50pp - it would still be not worth it.

We came here last Sunday for brunch with a large group and were seated inside. While the interior is nice and the bar area is lively--with multiple TVs and a great energy--you really come here for the outdoor experience. If you can snag a table on the patio, that's the move. You'll get front-row views of the coastline, with birds flying by and even the occasional whale or dolphin sighting, which makes the whole experience feel extra special. That said, this visit didn't quite live up to what I remembered. The service was a bit slow, especially for a large party, and the food just didn't hit the same--it was good, but not as memorable as past visits. Overall, Nelson's is still worth it for the incredible ocean views and ambiance, but I'd set expectations that the food and service may not always match the scenery.

It's the kind of place where you settle into a chair, sip something strong, and suddenly two hours disappear. What makes it special is the live music. Local musicians play most nights from about 7-11pm, creating the perfect soundtrack for the evening. This past Saturday we stopped in after dinner at Nelson's on the property, an excellent combination. We caught Olivia Pucci, who lit up the Terranea lobby in a striking red dress, delivering smooth, soulful vocals that set the tone immediately. Her mix of pop, jazz, and mellow classics is perfect for cocktails and oceanfront vibes, backed by a tight trio on piano/keyboard and guitar. Honestly, this is Palos Verdes at its best: great drinks, live music, ocean air drifting in, and a relaxed crowd enjoying the moment. The best nights are the ones where you stop watching the clock and just soak it all in, this is exactly that kind of place.
