New American Restaurants near Calistoga, CA

“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 edible. None of us could get through them, and that was disappointing, especially at this price point. What left an even worse taste in our mouths (no pun intended) was that our server acknowledged the issue and wanted to comp them, but management refused. For a nearly $200 lunch, that lack of flexibility felt out of step with the rest of the experience.

Great service, beautiful setting, mostly solid food but that one moment really stuck us.“

“The environment is very nice, very suitable for couples vacation, suitable for relaxation“

“They aren't kidding that this is a "local favorite". Everything we ordered was delicious and they were quite accommodating about me bringing my own, local wine. They also have an impressive business model worthy of support! I'm going back here next week! <3“

“A true 5 star experience! Rooms are very comfortable, location is perfect, and the staff are wonderful! Only suggestion would be to add a place to hang clothes, and put a tv in each room. Price is affordable for the area. Don’t be afraid of the shared bathrooms. Toilets and showers are completely private and there is a sink in each room. Highly recommended. Listing says breakfast is free. That is incorrect. However, they do offer free coffee and scones in the lobby. Check out Cafe Sarafornia for breakfast. You won’t be disappointed! Four minute walk from hotel.“

“Truss and Believe 😍 • We are staying at the BEAUTIFUL Four Seasons Napa Valley and caught lunch at their restaurant Truss. Highly recommend everything we have tried over the past week but I’ll narrow down some for this post 🤭. From the views overlooking the TWO pools to the villas scattered amongst actual grape vines, everything was perfection. For bites, we got the Salmon, Truffle Fries, Tuna Crudo & Mezzi Rigatoni. Chefs kiss on everything ordered 🤌🏻 But we can’t forget about the cocktails, riiiight?! We chose Pick Me Up (tweak espressotini), Fennel Wears Prada, Smokey the Pear and Spring is Here. All superb and full of flavor 😋 • If you ever get a chance to come to Napa Valley and stay at the Four Seasons Calistoga, don’t skip out on Truss. Truss and Believe me, you won’t regret any choice here 😍“

“Excellent food and service!“

“It's always great to support CIA. I food is not only delicious, the presentation is superb. I love coming here & like the simplicity of the menu & well curated dishes. The herbs are from the garden & the salads are just as divine. The staff are so nice & you won't be disappointed.“

“Loved it here! I was in town for the week and it reminded me how much I enjoy St. Helena especially for the dining and culinary scene. I'd heard a lot of great buzz about this spot and decided to swing by for the happy hour special. I had a couple of martinis (both fantastic), the croquettes (so good), and some fresh oysters. Everything was on point.

The atmosphere is lively and welcoming with couples, date nights, and groups of friends hanging out. I'm definitely coming back for dinner soon to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. Thank you!“

“Cozy space with nicely appointed ambiance. Friendly staff. Excellent food on a varied and adventurous menu. The cheese curds are worth the trek. Great cocktails. Good happy hour menu. Lovey outside patio and well behaved dogs are welcome.“

“Excellent flavors- Turkey wrap❤️“

“NOTHING was a dud on the tasting menu, nothing!“

“I love it hundred percent“

“The yurt experience is really special“

“Hugo delivered some of the absolute best service we've ever had in a restaurant. My boyfriend used to work in the service industry and he was very pleased by Hugo. His demeanor, thoughtful pairings, and uplifting energy enhanced our experience to top notch! Ask for Hugo!“

“Had a great breakfast!!!!“

“Beandip Charlie lost the dinner at Eddie's Kitchen bet on how many beers Mable Hartley can slam down at the 440 club...it was 21 before she fell down! And...Man-O-Man that Lasagna from Eddie's was Amazing!
5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Okay, folks and frogs. Please ignore the haters. The food is fantastic. It's healthy. It is delicious. It's fresh from the farm to the table. Dalia Martinez puts her love into every single creation. I have been a loyal follower for eleven years, and I have no complaints.

I think the haters below want to hate. It's impossible to make a lover out of the hater.

I am going in for breakfast today to support my Chef Dalia. She is the best. Leave it at that.

You best be getting in soon to enjoy. Dalia posted on instagram a goodbye message. @thenakedpigsantarosa“

“I only come here during happy hour. I love that it starts earlier than most. French fries and the sauces the fries are served with (especially the curry one) are delicious. My standard drink is an old-fashioned which is a happy hour menu item (yay!). The kale salad (not a happy hour item) is delicious and I order it frequently. Service is always attentive and courteous and I really enjoy the outdoor seating area which is lovely place to relax when the weather is nice.

My only complaint…the product they use to clean tables has a strong window cleaner smell which was very bothersome, and I observed an employee spray the table directly rather than spray the towel which causes the product spray to potentially blow around if there’s a breeze, which it did.“

“Excellent service, great atmosphere and delicious food.“

“This is the best picture I’ve taken of a meal anywhere. The food was sooooo good that I couldn’t take a “before” picture, only an “after”. This was grilled avocado. I didn’t even know one could grill an avocado, nor did I know that an avocado could be improved on. Now I know. 😋“

“This cafe has very nice pastries and good coffee and the staff is very pleasant and amicable. Be aware though that they're not open everyday and that they often sell out of their most popular items quite early. Also, they could have more tables and chairs available outside but overall it's a really nice experience and you're supporting culinary students and the program, so despite their limited hours and seating it's a nice place to stop if you're in the area.“

“great food nice ambiance very friendly service“

“Tasting wine at The Saint is an exceptional experience, thanks to its welcoming atmosphere and vibrant vibe. The knowledgeable staff enhances the enjoyment with their expertise on the wines served, making it a perfect place to hang out with friends. It's truly one of the best spots to relax, share great wines, and create memorable moments together.“

“Best coffee I have had in all of Northern California. Australian coffee snob approved.
The avo on toast and daily special focaccias were also the some of the best I have had anywhere in the USA.
Staff are super friendly and welcoming.“

“Shout out to Chris the manager who went out of his way to accommodate us. We are Hyatt members and thought we could use our club access awards. Unfortunately this particular restaurant is its own identity and therefore they don’t allow you to use the awards. Chris however made an exception and allowed us to use them. It was a very busy day with a bit of a wait but we were really taken care of in an amazing way. Thank you!“

“Fantastic people who care about their customers, staff and food they provide“

“Truly amazing! Inspired and inventive menu, with a beautiful outdoor evening setting next to the vineyard. Add a few of the most delicious Napa wines and it’s an unforgettable experience. A little surprise waiting around each corner…“

“Looking for an unforgettable culinary experience? Look no further than @perch+plow in Santa Rosa! 🍷✨ Prepare to be swept off your feet by stunning views, creative cocktails, drafts, and farm-to-table delights that’ll tantalize your taste buds! Let them know @oubrevacationsandtravel sent you.“

“Highly recommend making this a must stay place if you’re in the Sonoma area! The resort is so funky, fun and makes you feel special while you visit. The vibe at the Lazeaway Club is awesome. The food is mostly shareable bites, the cocktails were delicious. The DJ on Sunday by the pool left us wanting to stay longer! The best thing about the resort is the staff! Top notch and we can’t wait to visit soon:)“

“The pork belly skewers are delicious. And they label directly on the menu what is gluten free son/or vegetarian.“
