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.“

“Beautiful place, friendly staff, great wine 🍷“

“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!“

“We loved dining at Gatehouse! Incredible value, outstanding service, high-end food, all delivered by students. Our server, James, and the rest of the crew were graduating the next, and it didn't affect their performance. HIGHLY recommend making a reservation here, if you can get one!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We fully enjoyed the entire happy hour menu at the bar. Everything on it was wonderful and the fried chicken was delicious 👨🏻‍🍳💋We will definitely come back for dinner…compliments to Marco at the bar as well. He was attentive and engaging and a pleasure to have as our first point of contact. The company, and Marco’s attentiveness has us planning on a return visit for dinner soon!“

“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.“

“I love it hundred percent“

“The yurt experience is really special“

“Excellent flavors- Turkey wrap❤️“

“We have been here many times over the years and it is always very nice.“

“Exceptional setting (we sat outside in the garden), perfect service from Max (he even pointed there were a couple sips left in my husband's cocktail). Sticky Pig's Ears were unusual but delish (great for sharing). Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Had a great breakfast!!!!“

“Eddie's kitchen, the food was excellent. I had chicken alfredo and a desert to die for. It was the chef favorite dessert. Eddie Jr. was very polite and very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I love Eddie's kitchen. I will go there again if ever in Santa Rosa.“

“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. 😋“

“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.“

“From the minute I made the reservation to the end of the night, owner Heidi was so helpful and made our family dinner so very memorable. With her suggestion we preordered some appetizers for our party of 12 which was seated in their private room. The table looked amazing when we arrived and the grill charcuterie boards and burrata were so delicious. Service was excellent and attentive. And finally dinner and dessert were delicious as well. I can't say enough good things about our experience at The Saint. When we're back in the area we will definitely spend another evening there.“

“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.“
