    went with a large group with the expectation that food would take a while. loved the atmosphere and the ocean view but service was pretty bad. after our appetizer took an hour and half and did not come after our meals came we started to question things. i asked the server how long apps would be and her response was “it’s a restaurant hotel what do you expect”. i understand things were not in her control but the rudeness and attitude we were given while remaining very polite an nice to her was insane for a a 50/person meal. Not to mention they were out of almost everything. won’t be back next vacation honestly disappointed. there did not even appear to be a manager on duty and almost no apologies were offered to us until the bill came no comps were offered for the 1.5+ hour fry appetizer

    The restaurant seems to be new to operating as things were disorganized trying to be seated, not enough staff, and rushing through things. The food is very typical hotel food as opposed to a restaurant anyone would visit who isn’t already staying here. The prices were in line with a high end restaurant like Firefly (the 5 of us ate there, all having steaks without drinks for $240 including tip) we 5 ate here at Solstice for $210 including tip (had truffles fries, 2 shrimp pastas, wings, 2 orders of tacos, no drinks) the quality of food, the service, the experience was much less desirable. Truly hope those reviews helps them to improve the pricing or food quality and experience to ensure they can compete in the market.

    I booked a table but one had not been reserved so we just had to sit where we could. It was more like a cafe than a bar and grill with very little ambiance. The service was slow but when the food did arrive they bought the appetisers and the mains together. The place was noisy and had sports televisions on all around. Would not recommend.

    The food and service were excellent here! We loved the quinoa bowl, smash burgers, and the jalepeno chicken! Great atmosphere especially if it’s chilly out to smart a window seat so you can enjoy looking at the beach. Great service too!

    Very dissatisfied. Had a larger party, didn’t get waters until 45 minutes after getting seated. Our whole party sat for 40 minutes before anyone came to the table. Worst service I’ve experienced ever.

    I had the Pomegranate Spinach Salad at Solstice and it was incredible. Fresh spinach, chopped bacon, with pickled onions all tied together with a pomegranate vinaigrette. Perfectly balanced, bold, and unforgettable—I’m already craving it again

    The view was fantastic! The food was top notch! They had so many great options it was hard to choose, so I just tried a few things and I was so glad I did! The spicy mule was a fun start and a surprising new favorite. The quinoa bowl and the salmon had so much flavor and the fish was cooked perfectly! I can't wait to go back! I would recommend to anyone. It's located in the SpringHill Suites on the 4th floor so the view is not like any other of the beach and the ocean. I didn't want anything too sweet so I had a "dirty Dr. PEPPER" for dessert which was perfection! I'm going back next week. The server said they can do big parties and it looks like they have plenty of seating options so I'm bringing friends!
