Editorial Review

Poolside patio at Solbar is the spot to get a glass of wine and watch the sun go down over the Mayacama mountains across the valley. The Euro lounge-y vibe and a bar menu -- served until midnight -- with all the comforting basics make it an ideal place should you want to eat after most restaurants' closing time of 9 p.m. (they get to bed early in wine country). Early risers, too, will find rare respite with breakfast and a Sunday brunch menu. While there's a slightly trendy vibe, don’t be surprised if a couple wanders in wearing bathrobes -- Solbar sits on the premises of Solage Resort. The haute-hearty dinner menu has garnered raves, though, and Solbar stands alone as a singular distention.
