The Thanksgiving Buffet was a real home cooking experience. All of the items you love for the holiday. The food was good and plentiful. I especially loved for desert, the apple cobbler.
Nice restaurant right on the premises of our hotel, food was delicious and the service was impeccable! We will be back.
Great option for a higher quality dining experience that's away from the noisy beach crowd. Since it's on the 4th floor of the hotel, it doesn't get as much traffic. The only downside is that it takes extra time to get there with the garage and elevator/stairs, but having covered parking is a plus. We also enjoyed the view from the balcony after our meal. Pro tip - the restaurant will give you a promo code for free parking, so just take a picture of the garage parking payment sign and then enter your info once you get settled at your table.
My husband and I went here for our anniversary. The food and service were great. Our experience was wonderful. They even gave us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. We will be returning.

Excellent hotel restaurant, expansive menu and everything I have tried here is great. Calamari is a must order (if you like Calamari). Excellent service, they can get busy but overall staff does an excellent job. Poboy is tasty, smash burger is great and their specials are always amazing.

The only good thing about Solstice is the beautiful ocean view. Unfortunately, the food and service were a big disappointment. When we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty, and after our experience, I understood why.
The service was unprofessional. The staff spent most of the time standing around in huddles talking, first at the bar and then by the buffet area. My calamari came out cold and didn’t taste fresh. Our waitress didn't come back table for quite awhile. I sent my calamari back, and asked for a new batch. The waitress came back and said was my entrée was ready and asked if I wanted the calamari taken off the ticket.
When my food came, the mashed potatoes had a strange taste, and I even found something in my green beans. To make things worse, the waitress messed up our bill three separate times before getting it right.
Between the poor service and disappointing food, I wouldn’t return. The view is gorgeous, but sadly it’s the only thing Solstice has going for it.

We enjoyed the meal and the beautiful view at sunset! The restaurant needs signage out front on the street. We drove by looking and eventually we pulled into the garage. No sign outside!
The food was amazing!! Very pleased!!! Recommend the pork chop and stuffed chicken!!! The music bingo on Monday was an amazing surprise definitely made the night!!! Ask for Melissa if you go, she gave excellent service and took great care of us!!
The ambience is very beautiful soft and elegant. Customer Service was very amazing. Complementary appetizer was given very clean and nice environment. No noise everything over all was great.
Food was fantastic! I tried the Jalapeño cornbread stuffed chicken. The server, Cameron, was new but could no have been any better. All our needs were taken care of very quickly. Ocean view completed a great experience!

We were there on 7/14/2025 for dinner reservations at 6pm. We parked in the hotel garage, scanned the parking pay code as instructed, had a nice dinner. Our server validated our parking at the end of our meal. The validation code was accepted and our charge was only a transaction fee of $2.48. Yesterday we got a parking bill from RevPass For >$78 for this hotel; same date, etc. They wouldn’t budge saying our validation time didn’t fit into the time frame of the time we parked?? The server insisted on giving us the validation code at the end of the meal. This is such an unfair practice. We tried several times to reach the manager of Solstice but was unable to due to him/her being in a mtg, being too busy or unavailable. Needles to say, we won’t be back. This is bad practice. RevPass would not budge even when I presented receipts.

Ray and the staff here are so very friendly and helpful. We called ahead because we were going with our large family at peak time. Almost as soon as we stepped off of the elevator we were greeted with kind words and a smile. Kind of unusual in today’s time.
The food was good and served quickly.
The views are a huge bonus also.
Great job folks!!

We were not greeted at our arrival time. There were several employees hanging around, but didn't approach us. I finally got one of the bar tenders attention and they pointed to a table that should be ours. We sat for a while before someone came to our table. Our server was very pleasant and got our orders correct. The food was good. The bar drinks were just a little off. And it was freezing in there.
Food was great and the service was exceptional. The view of the ocean is a bonus as well! Taylor is amazing and made our experience very pleasant!

The restaurant itself is pretty and it has okay food. However, we had ten people in our party and we were out of drinks almost the entire dinner. We had ordered 5 burgers total including 1 as a to-go order and we were charged for 6. One person in our party didn’t get their food until 30 minutes after everyone else’s. One other person ordered a side salad and was charged for a full large salad which is about ten dollars more. We were there for a total of 2.5 hours because it took 40 minutes for appetizers and then another 30+ for entrees. 2 of our smash burgers came out incorrectly so they needed to be brought back and remade. 2 of our sides came out ten minutes after the entrees. The caesar salads barely had any dressing on them. I had ordered the pasta with extra chicken which costed 9 more dollars for chicken, but had received barely any and it was very chewy. I added a picture of the pasta to show the 9 dollars worth of chicken. The calamari was kind of bland tasting as well. We had asked for mayonnaise and had received a bottle that was expired from May (it’s currently July). I had asked for another bottle and I never received any.
