Solbar

“Made a reservation for our anniversary dinner here and was seated immediately. They acknowledged our celebratory meal and started us off with complimentary cocktails. We ordered the Parker rolls $15 with crab spinach dip $16, crab noodles $38, and short rib $78. Not cheap, but we felt the prices were reasonable considering the quality and portions. All the food was really good with well thought out ingredients and flavors. Best short rib we've ever had. So tender and flavorful. It is a must order. We joked about wanting to grab a to go order of that on our way home. We ended our meal with the butterscotch pudding, but ended up not liking it. The server noticed, apologized, and removed it from our bill. Really good service overall. Beautiful, classy looking, intimate, large sized restaurant. Plenty of parking. Literally the perfect meal in terms of food, service, and ambiance. Highly recommend”

“The service here is crazy good. There was a slight issue with my order and they were so apologetic that they immediately gave me a replacement, comped the dish and gave us two desserts afterwards. The short rib was good, they had this crab noodles that were really good. We then went back again for breakfast the next day and I thought that the crab eggs Benedict was great.”

“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!”

“We absolutely love Solbar! As locals, this has become one of our go-to spots throughout the year. No matter the season, Solbar consistently delivers an amazing experience. Whether we’re stopping in for a relaxed breakfast, a casual lunch, or a lively dinner with friends and family, the food is always on point. We’ve truly experienced it all here: morning coffee and breakfast with your partner on a peaceful day, lunch in the sunshine, and dinner gatherings that turn into long, memorable evenings. It’s one of those rare places that does every part of the day well. The quality is consistent, the ingredients always feel fresh, and the menu offers something for everyone. What keeps us coming back, though, is not just the food but the overall atmosphere. It’s welcoming yet elevated, making it perfect for both special occasions and spontaneous visits. And the drinks are just as impressive as the food whether it’s a well-crafted cocktail, a great glass of wine, or something seasonal, they always deliver. Solbar is one of those dependable gems you’re grateful to have as a local. We’ll continue to recommend it and keep coming back again and again.”

“My wife and I ate here for dinner and had a fantastic experience. We had a couple different glasses of wine and our waiter was amazing at walking us through different samples of wine before we landed on ones we liked. The choices were great. We were on our honeymoon and the waiter brought out complimentary glasses of rose sparkling wine which was delicious. We started with the beef tartar, the crudo, and sourdough rolls— each was delicious and a great start. Our main dishes were the pumpkin risotto and short rib, both delicious as well. The short rib was so tender it melted in my mouth. We ended with a toffee cake that was delicious and hit the spot. The staff was incredible the entire time. Our waiter (I think Laura?) was amazing and even gave us a few recommendations on places to try during our visit, which we did!”
