    10 oz. New York Steak
    Robert V.

    Had a great dinner here tonight all around. Food was delicious - loved the salad, wings, and pizza. I did not try to gazpacho but my friend said it was good. Service was fast, professional, and pleasant. I asked for a few extra items and they got them with a smile and made me feel treated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is fancy restaurant, intimate seating and art on walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have a bar option as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was clean and a had ample seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Recommend.

    Spinach and Beet Salad
    Anita S.

    Food was better than expected. The server helped us decide on the pizza and we really enjoyed the BBQ chicken- all 3 parts were good (crust, sauce and cheese). The old fashioned and Manhattan were great, not too sweet. Service was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant looks small but is spread out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Margarita with Prickly Pear - Tarty to begin with but additional shot did the trick !

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is a solid 4-star spot when it comes to food and Ambience is quite and clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. -- but the service pushes it to a 5! David was outstanding -- warm, attentive, and made some spot-on recommendations that really elevated our experience. The fish tacos were a highlight -- perfectly crisp with great flavor. Pesto pasta was also tasty, and while the pizza could have been a bit better, it was still enjoyable. Drinks were well-made and hit the spot. It's rare to find a place where the people make such a difference, but Solano's is definitely one of them. Because of the great staff and genuine service, I'm happy to call this a 5/5 experience. Will definitely be back!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice cozy place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]- service was good- [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was fairly quiet around November[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]- prices was decent and the food was very good. We will clearly return when we visit palm desert again.

    Classic Caesar Salad

    The drink was outstanding. The food was okay. I added grilled chicken to my salad. The salad was nothing the write home about. The service was great. My server was nice and attentive. He made me laugh a bit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very laid back environment with sports playing on the tv at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have happy hour beers, well drinks, and house wines.

    Blackened Shrimp

    We stopped for a quick meal on our way to Phoenix. Conveniently located near the 10 freeway. Lots of parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a Wednesday so the restaurant wasn't full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the spinach and beet salad and the blackened shrimp with risotto. Food came out quick. Both were delicious. The shrimp and the risotto is not a big portion. Server was friendly.

    Cajun Shrimp Linguini Italian Sausage Fettuccine

    Food was absolutely amazing. David did a great job at explaining his favorite dishes in detail to us. So well, we ordered both of what he suggested. Italian sausage fettuccine & Cajun shrimp linguine

    Wow! After several "fancy" dinners, we were just looking for a burger spot. Found it!…read moreWe were seated immediately upon arriving and our waiter, Joshua, who was extremely attentive all night, came over to greet us and get our drink order. We started out with the Drunken Tots. Wonderful! For dinner, I ordered the Turkey burger, and my husband and grandson each ordered the Bistro Burger. The burgers were loaded with all kinds of yummy toppings and we all enjoyed each bite. Meals are served with fries and a pickle. Perfect! Although we were stuffed, we split the Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding for dessert. It was topped with a salted caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. So good! If you're just looking for a casual burger/sandwich spot, look no further!

    On the drive to California, I usually like to stop and try different local spots along the way…read more This time I was craving a burger and came across this place. The food was good overall and definitely satisfied the burger craving. The experience, however, was a little mixed. The service felt a bit awkward at times, and a few interactions with the staff just rubbed me the wrong way. Nothing major, just an odd vibe. The location itself could have been a little cleaner and more polished. I also noticed the Guy Fieri feature on the wall--which is cool--but at the end of the day, the food and experience still have to speak for themselves. Overall, the burger was good, but the service and atmosphere left some room for improvement.

After being seated, we waited quite a while before someone finally came over to take our food and drink order. After placing our order, we sat there for well over 30 minutes waiting. Our drinks, which were just an orange juice and a coffee, never arrived, and no one ever came back to check on us or give us an update. We were simply left sitting there with nothing. At that point, we decided to get up, cancel our order, and leave. I completely understand that restaurants can get busy, but there was little communication and we felt completely forgotten. It is really unfortunate because this used to be one of my favorite brunch spots. I hope this was just an off day, but today's service was unacceptable and incredibly disappointing. I truly hope they can turn things around because I would love to enjoy this place again. However, until then I don't think I will be coming back.

But after a long day of shopping and driving, this islands is usually our go to for our first day of vacation and was the only thing we could agree on to eat. Despite coming in an hour before closing, we were treated with so much respect and kindness. No cold shoulders, no dirty looks or anybody making it seem like we were inconveniencing them, even though we were. Our server, Daniel was SO kind, attentive, and just over all amazing. One of the best servers we've ever had. He made it a point to let us know we were no trouble at all, and had an overall positive attitude that made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Our food came out very fast and was hot and delicious. Daniel made sure to refill our drinks, had no trouble getting some containers to go, and didn't rush us to pay by bringing the check early, he waited until we asked for it to bring it. We made it out just after closing, I believe closer to 9:10, and although our consciouses felt guilty, none of the staff made us feel this way. Establishment was clean, staff was doing side work, but that's normal for a restaurant almost closing. I was so pleased with this experience. We won't be going In an hour before closing again, but thank you to this islands and most of all, Daniel, for making us feel welcome. With 4 adults and a baby, we were just ready to get some food in us after a long day. And we were not disappointed. Five stars all day long!

I ordered the sliders, fries, and jr hamburger with fries. The burgers and fries tasted fresh and hot! Sliders were filling and very tasty! My son says it's his new favorite restaurant for burgers because they are "sooo good". I wish I took pics of the food, we just devoured it soo quickly! I enjoyed being able to watch the baseball game, and other sports as well. It didn't feel like too much and the atmosphere felt chill and happy. The staff was soo kind and patient. We had a waiter brought my son his burger and sundae (super good) and he was so friendly listening to my kid's random story about his upcoming birthday All in all, we are coming back for the food, experience, and location! I highly recommend dining in here.
