TripAdvisor review sample · 4.4/5 · 80 reviews
Solbar in Calistoga holds a 4.4/5 rating. Food quality is a primary strength, with praise for sourdough, short ribs, French toast, and lemon ricotta pancakes. However, some guests reported issues with cold lobster rolls, steak tartare presentation, and scrambled eggs. Service is generally commended, particularly staff members like Pilar and Omar, though occasional complaints cite pacing and server knowledge gaps. The ambiance is highly rated, featuring charming outdoor seating, pool views, and a pristine interior. Regarding value, while the aesthetic and food are excellent, several reviewers note high prices relative to portion sizes, with some expressing disappointment over perceived mismatches between advertised and actual offerings.
Suitable for travelers seeking refined Californian cuisine and scenic outdoor settings with a flexible budget.
