We came here for my mom's 89th birthday tonight, and everything was great.  I had short Ribs and french onion soup, and the french onion soup was the best I ever had.  It had a whole onion baked into the cup , surrounding the soup. The service was very timely and the staff was super friendly.

Solbar was recommended to me by a friend. I had no idea it is part of a resort, which looks quite lovely by the way.  I’d love to come back and stay here.

I dined solo at the bar and had the pleasure of interacting with Carly, Haleigh and Kelly - each were kind, attentive, helpful and a genuine delight to talk with.

I had a few things on the menu and enjoyed them all: Autumn (mushroom) soup, chopped salad with shaved brussel sprouts (my favorite), Denver steak - a bit chewy for my liking but excellent flavor, and the hazelnut/chocolate dessert - delish! I also had the spicy margarita which was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. And of course all the wine pairings matched the meals perfectly.

This is a great date place! Ambiance and service are fantastic! I can’t wait to go back, next time hopefully with a date! 🙂

The standout aspect of this restaurant is the food. Absolutely delicious dishes clearly made with high quality ingredients. It’s amazing. The atmosphere is romantic and charming with the patio dimly lit and outdoor heaters available for guests. This is not a “quick bite” experience so give yourself time to experience each course. The Sonoma Coast Pinot was the perfecting pairing for the beef short rib.
