    Valentine's Day 2026: Interior of Palisades Eatery.
    Rachel A.

    We tried lunch at Palisades Eatery on Valentine's Day 2026 after enjoying a relaxing morning of mud baths and massages at Golden Haven Spa, our go-to spot in Calistoga. When we arrived, Palisades Eatery had a lengthy line to place an order. While waiting, we could see into the open kitchen where the staff appeared visibly stressed and unhappy - not much of a welcoming atmosphere. As for decor, their 2025 Christmas tree remains sadly propped up in a corner. We found seating at a table that appeared to have been cut in half and pushed against one of the oddly blocked-off bay windows facing the street. During the long wait for our meal, we noticed the deceased and dying insects accumulated inside of the bay window. Unfortunately, this did not enhance the ambiance of our dining experience. Our Cobb salad, Roasted Beet salad, and Calistoga Caesar sandwich eventually arrived. After taking a few bites, we looked at each other and smiled, realizing we were both underwhelmed. None of the dishes stood out compared to the many other lunch options in Calistoga. In fact, after taking one bite of the Calistoga Caesar sandwich, my husband suggested that I skip it entirely. Following the posting of my unbiased review, I received a message from Palisades Eatery's "business manager" Angela R. which felt unnecessarily aggressive and slightly unbalanced. Please read Angela R.'s response and decide for yourself if this is the type of business you'd enjoy supporting.

    Veggie pizza, after we ate half. :) it had a crispy crust and was perfectly cooked. No complaints.

    We ate at the bar. They were busy, but they were still fast and friendly. We had drinks too. The place was festive for the holidays. Good ambience for a date of with family and friends. The pizza and Greek salad were perfect to share.

    We were leaving the area after visiting a few wineries, and this was our choice for some eats. It hit my requirement, pizza. It's a cute place inside, and I particularly like the old photos on the walls, on the way to the bathroom... Way in back. The woman at the counter was very friendly, and even allowed me to sample a couple of the beers (IPAs) on tap. While I don't remember the brewery, it was whichever one was most local. Pizza was great. I, and Thuy, forget which sandwich she had, but all of it got gobbled up (I don't think it was turkey). So here's a little 411. If there is an elderly lady having lunch by the window, unless you want to become embroiled in all sorts of lengthy conversation, on a wide variety of subjects, stay away. I didn't mind, but Thuy and my Godfather were a bit miffed. I didn't know we were planning on another winery!

    Wonderful service, they were able to substitute a veggie patty into the salad instead of the chicken, and it tasted very good! Made the salad more substantial and yummy. The veggie grilled sandwich was so nice as well, the sauces and melted cheese were delicious. The ambiance is modern farmhouse vibe with a clean aesthetic. Great place to stop by on the downtown street!

    Big N' Tasty Sandwich...well half of it anyway!

    Ok, first time here...actually first time in Calistoga! The Big N'Tasty chicken sandwich was delicious. Fried chicken cutlet with a BLT basically. The onion rings were great not greasy and very crispy. Had the house ice tea...has just a hint of berry taste, very good. Staff were great, food arrived pretty quick and just as ordered. The place is not huge and parking downtown wasn't the easiest but it was worth it. You order at the counter and they will bring you your food. There are a couple of small outdoor tables also. Overall a great place to grab some lunch.

    I love a good Mom and Pop restaurant and Palisades Eatery did not disappoint us. We needed some fuel to combat the several glasses of wine we enjoyed at our tasting at Myriad Cellars. Easy to order at the counter and instructed to grab a seat and they would bring out our lunch. My wife and I split the Italian Sandwich, bought some chips and opted for water. The sandwich was outstanding and big enough to satisfy even when split. Service was fast and friendly and water was cold and plentiful. Bonus was our ability to find a parking spot right in front of the restaurant. Our visit to Palisades Eatery was nothing short of 5 stars. This will be our stop when tasting wine in Calistoga.

    French fries

    The food here was absolutely wonderful - simple yet satisfying! I love club house sandwiches and their version was pretty close to perfection with the right amount of everything plus avocados. And their fries were delicious! The restaurant is quaintly cafeteria style where you go up to the counter to order and the food is delivered to your table. It's clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our lunch!

    This place is so cool and definitely worth a stop when you're in Calistoga…read more We stopped by for a quick lunch and were immediately led into the distillery, which can only be described as impressive. Boasting high ceilings with exposed wood beams and a beautifully decorated bar area, the space oozes with rustic class and would make a great venue for any party or group gathering. We, however, came in for a sit down lunch with two kids and the small lounge seats and tables were not the best setup for a family meal. Which is the only thing keeping me from giving this place five stars. Similarly, the menu was also catered more to adults, with plenty of vegan options but very few items suitable for kids. That's not a knock on this place, just something to take note of. As a result, we opted to snack on a few items and the caviar and duck fat fries did not disappoint. The espresso martini with pumpkin foam was also excellent. But the really cool part about this place is the vintage train cars, each intricately decorated and offering their own dining/drinking experience. For example, one offers an oyster bar with underwater decor while another features a cowboy bar with real saddles as bar seats. The cleverness in design and attention to detail is impressive and is what makes this place special. I doubt there is a more interesting place to have lunch in Calistoga. I'm a fan of what they're doing here and would love to come back. Minus the kids of course.

He brought us water, but after that, no one came back to check on us or even give us menus. We actually had to grab menus ourselves from the front stand. After waiting quite a while, we had to call the busser over ourselves to let someone know we were ready to order. He told us he wasn't our server and just stood there looking at us, so I asked if he could please get the server for us instead. He responded that the server was "a little busy right now." Meanwhile, the server was behind the bar continuing whatever they were doing and never once acknowledged us. At that point, we felt completely ignored and unwelcome, so we decided to get up and leave. Basic customer service, communication, and attentiveness would have gone a long way

I went to pay the bill and turns out he for whatever reason he couldn't take it off the bill when I asked for the manager he said there was no manager available then, to add insult to injury, the prices on the menu were 50% less than the price on the bill keep in mind there's no waiters at this restaurant you have to go up to the counter to order everything this place charge me some $75 for food that I didn't even receive when I asked for he basically just told me that I should just deal with it. I sat there for 20 minutes and talk to the guy and to get the owner or the manager nothing could happen so finally I just called the local police department trying to figure out what to do and the local PD told me that essentially it was a civil matter. And that if they had not updated their menu, I was not obligated to pay some inflated made up price that they just pulled thin air. Which I agree with, no other establishment in America can you just advertise one price and then suddenly start charging customers a higher price so I left and I left my phone number with instructions that a manager should call me so that we could have a discussion and figure out an amicable way forward. I left my phone number.. the next day. Allegedly the "owner" calls me and tries to tell me that I dashed and that his poor employee was gonna have to cover a $75 bill or some shit... keep in mind. We had no alcoholic drinks, no waiter to take our order, and the place was chaos. We had one pizza that did not have the toppings on it that we actually ordered. Tried to explain this to the "owner" we repeatedly interrupted and spoke over me. Terrible food and worse customer service! Avoid at all costs!

This restaurant is located among Brasswood's other businesses: winery, bakery cafe, and some retail store (that I didn't check out). there's a large inside dining room with interesting decor, and there's an outside seating area in the back as well, which overlooks the courtyard in the middle of all the business (which has a nice water fountain thing in the middle). the middle of courtyard looks like it's set up for weddings. I opted to sit outside since it was a nice day as did most of their other customers at the time. Our server was polite and professional. - fresh mozzarella with toasted bread: I don't know why this isn't listed on the menu since it's the biggest reason to come here. Fresh pulled mozzarella that they cut up tableside and serve on some freshly charred and toasted bread. It's not just nice, fresh mozzarella; they season it properly along with a drizzle of olive oil. So good. - heirloom tomatoes with balsamic vinegar: this is also not on the menu, but it's probably seasonal and based on the availability of good quality tomatoes. delicious. a perfect complement to the mozzarella, really. is it pricey at $12 for a few pieces of tomato? yes, but I'd do it again. - Short Rib Sugo (slow-cooked short ribs, carrot, & onion sofrito, mushrooms, cabernet sauvignon, parmesan, house-made pappardelle pasta): this was a solid dish. basically, what you'd expect. nice and rich. I think they used a touch too much rosemary when seasoning this dish, but not enough to ruin it. - Duck Bolognese (sonoma duck, classic mirepoix & red wine, pecorino romano, house-made pappardelle pasta): this was also delightful. it ate similar to the short rib sugo in that it was this rich, delicious pasta dish. I found this one more to my liking compared to the short rib sugo, but I think they're both fine dishes. - The Brasswood Burger (meat, cheddar cheese, & ketchup only): this was a variation of their standard burger that was ordered for a kid. I had a few bites of it. while the bun was just plain great, the patty itself was dry & overcooked. they didn't ask for the doneness of the meat when we ordered, and perhaps, they just hammered the thing since it was being served to a kid. - French Fries: these were served with the burger. they were very nice. thin and crispy. good fries! - Chocolate Mousse Cake (cranberry sauce, chantilly cream, amaretti cookie): this was very chocolately. almost too chocolatey, but the cranberry sauce and chantilly cream played a nice foil to the richness of the chocolate. I wasn't sure if I'd like the chocolate & cranberry combination, but it worked nicely. A good dessert for chocolate lovers.

We were under the impression the appetizer came with heirloom tomatoes as she had presented them in a way that made it sound like such, only to receive the bill and find that they were separate charges and pretty overpriced. I also ordered the warm Brussels salad and thought it was just okay. I noticed after the meal that the salad never came with the caramelized onions as advertised on the menu, and overall it just felt like I was eating a bed of Brussels and bacon. The final thing we got was an Arnold Palmer that was in need of some sugar or something to help take away the bitterness of the drink. Aside from the food, the atmosphere was nice and I liked the upscale bar vibe if the restaurant. However our service was not great, only seeing our waiter to order and to get the check. And even then we had to go up to the waiters corner because we couldn't get her attention because she was on her phone, and we had to ask another waitress for our check. Plus we never got asked about a dessert menu, which we wanted to try in the beginning having seen some come from the kitchen and all looking amazing. But after our meal and service, we didn't get to it. We were recommended this restaurant and excited to try it, but it didn't really meet expectations. Maybe try ordering another main dish, and a different day with a different waitress would help, but this go around, I don't think I would necessarily recommend this place especially when compared to other options in the area.

Since we had been wine tasting all day we didn't get to have cocktails but I look forward to trying all the creative mixed drinks they were making. Well done spot.

    I had a lovely brunch experience at Solbar. I live only a 25 minute drive but still enjoy taking a…read morelittle drive to enjoy different scenery and a break from the routine especially on a beautiful sunny Sunday. The menu has many great options and my partner Ang I both enjoyed our meals. I had the steak and eggs he had the burger; both cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed some lovely libations from the cocktail menu while we waited for our table. The meal was capped off with the French toast which we shared and the perfect sweet ending. I Look forward to returning soon. Great food and wonderful service.
