Skillet potatoes were undercooked. Potatoes were hard. The $68 bone-in ribeye was delivered lukewarm and was a bit undersized. We were a party of eight and most were unhappy with the food. One steak was sent back because it was cold and that got returned and wasn't even that much hotter. Salad quality was poor and had wilted lettuce. 2 people ordered a pasta dish that was good.

Solstice has remained one of the best fine dining destinations on the South Shore for over two decades. The specials are always fresh and offer a variety of tastes. I usually choose anything seafood. Formerly a train depot, the interior of this brick building offers a warm and comfortable environment. Solstice is great for date nights, hanging with friends, or celebrating special occasions with family. You have to make reservations most nights as it gets busy around peak hours 5-8pm. Parking is sometimes tight as the parking lot is oddly shaped.

Consistently wonderful. The food is always delicious, and the service—especially our server—was warm and attentive. It’s the kind of place you can count on for a great experience every time.

I’ve been twice now. The staff every time is so friendly and welcoming. The vibe of the restaurant is wonderful and the history of the building is awesome. BUT the winner is the food. The filet was cooked to perfection, and literally melts in your mouth. Paired really well with the Gorgonzola butter. The coconut cake is absolutely outrageous! It’s the only place I ever order dessert!

Had a great evening at Solstice! The food is excellent and portions were so large we altered our original order plans after appetizers. Can’t wait to go back and try the things we passed on!

A Hanger steak should be flavorful and tender but if a customer returns a sliced Hanger steak and it is recooked it comes out dry, overcooked and tough. This is how it was served last night. As a career Chef it is unbelievable that any Chef would allow this to come out of his kitchen!

My husband and I finally made it out for a date night after 3 months (we have baby so dates are rare) we picked solstice. Unfortunately we had horrible service and were waiting over 20 mins just to find the waiter to order a new drink. We also ordered our food then proceeded to wait over 40 mins for it to arrive. Because we couldn’t find our waitress we had to go to the hostess to ask her to find her. When the food did come out my $55 filet was scorched. It was so burnt I couldn’t even tell what I was eating. I was hesitant to say anything but did and sent it back when she insisted it would only take a few minutes. 15 mins later and once my husbands meal and our sides were cold it came out. At the end of the day, even with a new steak. It just was not good meal, not worth the $55 ticket price. I would have maybe spent $25-30 on that steak and been ok with it. My husbands was overcooked as well, also scorched and tasted burnt and just overall not a good piece of meat. He got the veil shank. At the end of the meal I anticipated some sort of compensation would be taken care of- either a meal/ side comped or dessert because of how poor our experience was but the waitress offered nothing. One of the worst meals I have had in over 5 years. I live 2 mins away and will never come back.

My little family showed up to this beautiful restaurant after my sons hockey team won their tournament championship. Mind you, this is NYE. We were surprisingly given a table for four and treated wonderful. Everyone congratulated our son and made us feel special for the spontaneous celebration. The service and food were a 10/10. I enjoyed the salmon and my husband, the sirloin. We had the molten chocolate cake and Irish coffee for dessert. Recommend to anyone looking for a memorable night out.
Made a res 3 weeks ago...
Restaurant text today at 4 that we overbooked and we had to sit in high tops...we said no...hostess when we showed was rude and said this was resolved over a text...I said no, we need to sit in dinning...we made res 3 weeks ago . She basically admitted she messed up but we need to sit in high top...we left. Then my wife stayed to say how disappointed she was and hostess said i remember on mother's day you threw check at me and didn't tip from 2020...blown away...don't even know what to say

Solstice is a Lovely restaurant, situated just off Main St in Kingston- It definitely has a semi formal air to the atmosphere -which may be holding some people back from consideration as a date night spot. The food is nicely prepared and Tasty, although with the Scallop dish I ordered, there were Definitely several (all) on the Raw side, as opposed to being nicely Seared- and for being Sea Scallops, their sizing was a bit diminutive .......My Date's Steak was absolutely lovely, and the food overall was very good. Overall , a lovely place to enjoy a quiet evening outing..

Solstice has fantastic food! We've been here a couple of times to celebrate special occasions & we've always been impressed. The service is great as well - staff are very friendly. It's best to make a reservation as it tends to get busy. Highly recommend the seared scallops & boneless ribeye!
