29 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Calistoga

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing service and great food! We felt very welcomed and appreciated“

“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.“

“I want to express my deepest gratitude for the kindness and compassion the Tank Garage Winery staff showed me during a very difficult time in my life. My late husband was an original founding club member, and after his sudden passing last year, the thoughtful gestures from the Tank Garage staff truly touched my heart. Their generosity and support meant the world to me, and I will always be forever grateful for the goodwill they extended to me during that challenging period.

I continue to cherish the memories of my husband's love for Tank's wines, which I’ve always considered a work of art. I look forward to enjoying them for many years to come, as they now hold even more sentimental value.

Thank you again for everything. Your kindness has made a lasting impact, and I will always hold the Tank Garage Winery team in the highest regard.“

“Napa Valley’s new hidden gem is Robert’s Tropical Table located in a converted breezeway/parking lot adjacent to the Mount View Hotel right here in Calistoga. Robert has been known for a decade as one of the handful of magical mixologists in our Valley having a long bar run at Sol Bar (until they closed for remodel and Covid) and then Brasswood before launching his rendition of a Jamaican Beach Cafe. His Ocho Rios roots come alive with a delicious selection of jerk chicken, pork belly, and wings with an escovitch fish perhaps better than mine. And never to be missed are the festival dumplings and a perfect Dark and Stormy. Open DAILY when the music is playing and gates are ajar (3pm to 10pm).“

“Cole was awesome and loved the wine and of coarse the horses“

“Cute little ice cream shop in the heart of town. Best chocolate chip ice cream I’ve ever had in my life with large chocolate chips as opposed to the tiny little ones that most shops have. Several unique flavors as well and the only place I’ve ever seen that has a spiced waffle cone, which smells delightful and tastes delicious.“

“Our wine tasting with Ezra was as educational as it was enjoyable. Though he brought up treating us like family every time we came back, he treated us like family from the moment we arrived. HIGHLY recommend making your way out to this hidden gem of a winery with amazing staff and delicious reds.“

“Fantastic wine experience! Our host Tony was knowledgeable and did a great job providing us with background and walking us through each varietal. The number of varietals available for tasting made this experience a great value and the quality of each wine were phenomenal! Our favorites included the Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, and several of the Cabernet Sauvignon. We enjoyed sitting in the shade on the deck overlooking the winery. It couldn't have been a better experience. Thank you again to Tony and the entire crew at Venge for such a wonderful experience!“

“Wonderful and delicious Spring Leg of Lamb dinner at Picayune by Chef Ross Melling and Picayune’s dream team at the tasting room. Great value for best in quality dinner and Picayune wines served family style! Highly recommend watching for the next pop up dinner at Picayune in Calistoga - you won’t be disappointed!“

“first visit under new management and remodel. super service. Pizza was superb. the rail cars and distillery are incredible. this will always be a routine spot for us when we are visiting“

“Beautiful property and amazing wine. Shelly hosted us and was so knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We joined the wine club - LOVED IT“

“The food was amazing. We got a variety of items and everything was sooo good. However, the server had a bit of an attitude which tainted the experience, which was supposed to be a celebratory meal for our group.“

“Wow this was such an amazing vineyard! We did the hilltop experience and upgraded our tasting to the Library Tasting and the Cab Sav tasting. Was fun to do something different and share both experiences. The gondola's were fun! Very clean and easy to use and a great addition to see Napa Valley. The team were all lovely, very friendly and welcoming and helpful. But I would add that they gave us the right amount of space to spend time chatting about the wines on our own. Loved the gift shop - great additions to the wine purchases. Highly recommend this as a stop whilst in Napa Valley!“

“We visited Brian Arden winery for the Chef Experience, and it was truly amazing! As soon as we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome - especially Angel who gave us a tour of the facility. The food and wine pairings by chef Mitchel were exceptional! 10/10 highly recommended“

“We recently visited Calistoga for a wine tasting getaway. We stumbled upon August Briggs Winery while walking around and explore the downtown strip, and WHAT A FIND! Matt was so much fun to talk to and explained the intricacies of sourcing for various wines and considerations for selecting grapes for his wines. Not only did we learn a ton, but the wines were FABULOUS! We brought several bottles home and my partner has a list of new questions to ask next time we visit!

Highly recommend!!“

“Wonderful atmosphere and good food! The service is also wonderful!“

“good wines! awesome host! good times“

“Great locals hang out which is attractive to visitors as well. Creative food offerings and live music.“

“Went on a Monday afternoon to meet a friend while visiting the area. The outdoor seating is gorgeous with plenty of space, and we basically had the entire area to ourselves. The server for the wine tasting experience was great! He was very informative about all the different wines we had the pleasure of trying, and even gave us a bonus taste of a more aged wine. The price was average for a wine tasting experience, so overall it was a great time. Would definitely go again given the chance!“

“Good times with good people.“

“Hi!!!
OG green Chile kitchen girl here. I lived off Laguna and Grove and frequently went to GCK bc I am from El Paso, Tx. You can’t find New Mexican food anywhere in NorCal so when I found out you opened this I was so excited, especially bc I now live in Santa Rosa. I was so excited. Had the green chile stew. As good as I remembered it! Loved the enchiladas. It was great! Will you ever bring back the stuffed green chile and Sopaipillas? You can’t find a real sopaipillas w honey anywhere in NorCal. Please do! Thank you so much!! Service was fantastic too :) we dined in and I took no pictures bc I just wanted to eat 😋“

“Great service, great goody“

“This place was AMAZING! While visiting Napa Valley did the whole wine tasting experience, and was not disappointed. This was some of the tastiest wine I've ever had. Especially the pinot noir. Our server for wine tasting was exceptional. Moreover, the grounds are spectacular. There is a full chapel and tasting room and castle that make you feel like you are really in Tuscany. The grounds have animals including goats and emus. The beauty of this place is breathtaking. I will be dreaming about it.“
