Solbar

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

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 d

Solbar is a beautiful spot tucked into Napa Valley perfect for a relaxing, elevated lunch in between wine tastings. The setting is calm and peaceful, which we really appreciated. You could actually hear each other talk which is rare and refreshing these days. I popped in with two girlfriends for a late lunch, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Our server was warm, attentive, and helpful with the menu. We ordered a variety of dishes to share: the lettuce wraps were fresh and flavorful, the sourdough rolls with spinach dip hit the spot, and the fish tacos were light and delicious. We also shared drinks and the “Lite Lunch,” which was a fun way to sample a few things. The only miss unfortunately a big one were the Solbar Nuggets. They came out overly greasy and just weren’t

The wait staff is lovely. Very attentive. The food however was underwhelming. This restaurant is supposedly Michelin rated. To be fair, my expectations were high. I started with a cocktail. The flavor profile was strange. It was gin based with thyme and an apricot jam. It was not my favorite. We started with 3 shared appetizers . The shrimp appetizer was shrimp on a bed of butter lettuce with asian inspired glass noodles/vermicelli. This was delicious. There was an additional house salad with a house made buttermilk ranch dressing. The dressing lacked flavor. It was bland. The third appetizer was burrata with sliced and diced heirloom tomatoes and pesto. Again, just underwhelming. The tomatoes were delicious, but the dish was not very inventive. For our entree we were given a choice betwee
