Opted for the Thanksgiving buffet this year. I’ve never been out for Thanksgiving. It was fantastic. It may become a tradition. I usually spend two weeks preparing and make everything including the stock and the bread for the stuffing from scratch. This was a delight and no dishes. Of course no leftovers either.

Our waitress was fantastic and food was excellent. I do think it was a bit expensive…maybe $50 makes more sense. Thank you!

Loved the food and our server but they really need to work on the ambience, especially the lighting. The overhead lights were very bright and not conducive to a relaxing evening mood. Just turn them down and all would be good. Our meal was great, all this aside.

Like the outdoor dining with a veiw of the beach and nestled in amongst the hotel rooms. Restaurant is off of a hotel lobby which is open and inviting. Attentive staff and tasty food options. Great place off-season when attendees at the hotel are reduced.

We had a great time at Solstice. Food was terrific (lunch), as was the view. Our waitress was very good - got our drinks to us right away, but slow taking our order because she had a lot of tables closing out their brunch bills. There were 6 of us who had a lot of catching up to do, so it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience.
