Description: Solbar, our casual yet sophisticated restaurant, is part of Solage Calistoga, Napa Valley’s most innovative resort and spa. Relax in the bar with a custom cocktail and a panoramic view of the Palisades Mountains or sit on the patio to enjoy a local wine and take in the scene at our 130-foot swimming pool. In the Solbar kitchen, we are pleased to offer you a choice of lighter dishes to enjoy guilt-free as well as more decadent ones in which you can truly indulge. We go to great lengths to involve local producers whenever possible and to let the California seasons dictate our menu.

We came for lunch during our trip in Napa. The atmosphere is cool and relaxing. The prices were really reasonable (16-17$ an entree) and everything was really really fresh. Do not miss the peaches dish (if available) - peaches, prosciutto , creme fraiche and veggies, all so fresh. The avocado mango soup was superb also and the fish tacos and... More

We went to Solbar for lunch and were impressed by the delicious food. We arrived for a late lunch and were greeted by a friendly staff member and seated outdoors. As it was lovely Spring day, we were quite comfortable. The ingredients were very fresh and the food was superb. We didn't order wine with our lunch as we had... More

We had breakfast at Solbar before our spa treatments and we thought the food was mostly just ok. We sat outside by the water features and it was a nice peaceful ambiance. The omelets were just ok (nothing special) but we did really like the made to order donuts and the "hush puppies" served with the omelets. We didn't stay... More

We had a lovely lunch inside because it was very hot outside. I had a wonderful squash soup that was so light and delicious and a flavorful turkey sandwich. I wanted something light because of the heat and this hit the spot. Coming back to try their other offerings. I liked the large windows and friendly service.

The best part if this restaurant by far is the outdoor seating with views of the mountains. The wine by the glass (Sauvignon) was the worst I had on this trip. The truffle chicken tasted like bland chicken. When we first asked to sit outside the hostess put on a big display of being inconvenienced and checking -even though there... More

Thank you for your response. I value your opinion about the restaurant. I am sorry the wine you ordered was not what you expected and the chicken tasted bland. I have addressed the hostess reaction with our restaurant manager. Warm Regards, Richard Hill More

Had lunch one day and dinner the next. Don't understand why this place is so highly rated. Food at lunch was so-so. Patio was nice but they allowed a guy to smoke a cigar, which the waiter admitted was against the law, but said the "guy was a good customer"!!!! Dinner the next night. They have no clue how to...

We value your feedback about the restaurant. I apologize that there was a guest smoking on the patio as we do not allow smoking anywhere around the restaurant or where food is being served. I have addressed this with the restaurant management and have asked they talk to their associates to ensure this does not happen again. I am also... More

We went for lunch during the week and sat inside since it was a little warmer. There weren't very many people inside and we received attentive service (we had made a reservation). The decor was very "modern" and went well with the place and menu options. We enjoyed our sandwiches and the unique sauces in them, flavors we didn't expect.... More

Although the on-line pictures of this place gave us the impression of being rather austere and modern-minimalist, the restaurant and adjoining outdoor seating area turned out to be quite warm and pleasant. We got there on a very busy night when the kitchen was backed up but the wait staff kept us appropriately posted. The food was definitely worth the... More

We ate there 2 times for breakfast and 2 times for dinner, and at different times. All the times food was heavy, not tasty and pretentious. We kept coming back there because of the convenience since we stayed at the hotel. This restaurant is trying too much to be fancy/gourmet and forget about taste and health. The menu choices are...
