Whether it be a cocktail while soaking up the sun at the poolside patio, an
expertly prepared meal, or a spirited conversation at the bar, Solaire
Restaurant + Bar offers the best of what is available with the changing
seasons.

Solaire offers a truly local dining destination that offers unexpected and
offbeat twists on local ingredients and flavors. The atmosphere of the
seasonal restaurant changes based on the weather—in the warm weather
months it is a playful experience centered on the indoor/outdoor restaurant spaces and
the vibrant pool scene. In the foggier months, guests can relax under the powerful outdoor heaters in our indoor/outdoor covered space while enjoying a cocktail. Mirroring the laid-back attitude of Santa Cruz, the restaurant and bar bring the natural outdoor elements inside in imaginative and modern ways.

This was our first visit to the restaurant and maybe our last period. The short wine list had several wines unavailable. The cocktails were very good. There was no dressing on the salad and a sauce with another dish was not available, making it incomplete . We were not happy with the experience.

It was elegant and good energy. Drink menu was creative and well executed and the food was really good. I think one knock I might have is that their menu was very limited (5 main entree options). It’d be nice to see a few more options, that’s all. Similarly the wine list was very limited which isn’t in line with the overall quality of the restaurant

I don’t normally leave bad reviews but this was a bit ridiculous. Okay—so my dad really enjoys this restaurant so I made a reservation over a week in advance for my family to have brunch here for Father’s Day. Right away it took over 5 minutes for the host to even acknowledge we were standing there. We were a group of five mind you and my mom recently had a full hip replacement so she needs ADA assistance and standing for long periods of time like that isn’t great for her then after the host finally acknowledged that there was a group of five people standing at the host stand and that we did indeed have a reservation, we had arrived about 3-4 minutes early. But that fact that no one could even say that they would be right with us was a little flabbergasting. Then we were seated inside instead of outside where our reservation was made for outside and it took over 15 minutes to be seated inside. Like why even make a reservation at that point?! Once we were seated we were told by the manager they were extending the breakfast menu for Father’s Day weekend (mind you this was 45 minutes after arrival time at this point) then when another server came to take our order they were super surprised that the breakfast menu was still being offered to us (talk about disorganized!) it took over 30 minutes for us to get our drinks once we were sat at our table. The food was delicious as usual. I would say the biggest issue was that they were under staffed on a big holiday weekend and completely disorganized which made the dining experience very disappointing for patrons.

Our reservation was set for 11 and we weren’t seated until noon on Father’s Day, even though it wasn’t busy. And then it took an hour to get our drinks and then another 30 minutes to get our food and the orders were all messed up and they told us the bar was closed because the bartender was taking his 15 minute break.

The food was quite good and there was something for everyone. However, the noise level, between the crying children and the bar, was WAY too high.

A lovely environment! The food was great, service exemplary, and a nicer experience couldn’t be found for dining unless the happy drinking ladies at the next table could have been moved into the bar so we didn’t have to share in their merriment!
