Solstice Restaurant & Wine Bar in Mississauga

This place is an absolute hidden gem. My family and I came in on a very quiet Sunday evening and were blown away by this place! The food and service were both amazing, and we ll be sure to come back again!

Excellent food, excellent service for a group of 18 people

Service was very slow, and food quality was subpar. The steak was overdone, and the roasted vegetables were almost burnt. I couldnt eat the potatoes as they were rock hard. 2 hours to serve a sit down lunch is far too long.

We celebrated my 75th birthday with 40 family and friends, and everything was handled beautifully. All the people involved at Solstice, from the food to service, created a warm welcoming environment. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Family run by people eager to please. Food is very good and well presented. Service is consistent, efficient and effective. The atmosphere is good and sufficient. Overall, a solid 4 star restaurant that you can bring your family to for a lovely meal.

Wonderful food and service

With a history spanning decades, this place truly is an institution. My family has dined at this restaurant for years and I honestly have nothing but praise. The food and service is consistently excellent. Everything is fresh, simple, and elegant. In particular, I would recommend their calamari and seafood paella.

The dinner was delicious, pasta is made fresh in-house. Had the gnocchi funghi, other company had the steak salad, salad with salmon and veal Parmiggiano. Started with the buffala cheese wrapped in prosciutto, it was amazing! Service was wonderful, they helped us get to an event we had planned even though we were late in arriving, so accommodating and such a great experience for first-time customers. Will visit again for sure!

I attended a private event at this establishment last night. The service, the staff & the food was all so amazing. This place is on their game. Highly recommend

A great place and good food coupled with good service.

Had dinner at Solstice last night. The food and service is always spectacular. I was very impressed with our server Tanis who remembered I have a food allergy. Yes I m a regular as it is our favourite place. Had their new Pinot Grigio- delicious! Always a good time!

Im honestly very disappointed because Solstice is a very nice restaurant with good food and a nice ambiance, but unfortunately the only thing that has me shaken up was the waitress which ruined my outlook on the whole resturant. The first impression a customer gets from its establishment is its workers, in this case waitress. Which is why im a firm believer in hiring good staff who enjoy what they do instead of people who dont have their heart in it. She was very cold to us and on top of that approached a situation very inappropriately when it could have been handled maturely without harassment. We were greeted by a nice hostess who then directed us to our waitress. I been to many restaurants before and Ive never been so uncomfortable with a waitress as being in the customer service industry myself but I felt extremely cold and taken aback all night. First, she was not friendly, did not come by often, she had a tone, and had a crazy uncaring attitude. I even told my partner midway that I didnt feel comfortable and that is surprising for me because I usually dont feel this way. But I gave her the benefit of the doubt because maybe she was having a rough day. Second, we were at the restaurant for two hours with only being given our apps n mains. Our main itself took more than 30 mins to arrive while we were debating on leaving. ( because firstly your waiter doesnt have an approachable kind attitude then secondly your food is taking beyond 30 mins to arrive which is ridiculous being a high end restaurant.) Altogether, we felt isolated and unattended to for the majority of the night. Lastly, we were trying to get ahold of the waitress because we were frustrated and everything took a long time and just would rather have our desserts packed. We had to ask another gentleman to do this as our waitress was mainly MIA!! Now when it came to paying, her attitude switched she suddenly started complimenting and engaging with us, but by that time it was too late because the service was not there what so ever all night, therefore , there was no reason to tip. Tips are for showing appreciation for good service and there was no service or nothing to appreciate by this waitress what so ever. On our way out, at our car, the waitress followed us and confronted us regarding her service and tried to talk down on us and educate us about her job. This is harassment and this could have been approached in a million different other ways. Chasing us to our car is not only ridiculous and disrespectful but also gives off psychotic behavior. To demand a tip is insane for service that was not even half of what my standard is, which is why we did not tip. If gratuity is mandatory it should have been said like most resturants do. But it is not and I am not obligated to tip when I dont even feel a common sense of respect between myself and a waiter. This is entitlement, u get what you give. I was so shaken up and taken aback by being chased and confronted I did not handle this situation the way I wanted. I was scared the waitress could possibly take a further step and I did not want to be in such an altercation. I offered her a tip regardless because I felt harassed and disrespected and I just wanted her gone therefore in that moment I was willing. To add on I always tip, we never had a problem like this before. I love showing appreciation for someones hard work and providing a tip, so this was the first time... so theres an obviously a valid reason it was against me this time around. Please hire better. People go to resturants for the service as much as we go for the food. If I just wanted food I would have ate at home. Disturbed and very very disappointed. How can this be fixed?

Came here for date night and honestly the food was amazing; so fresh and with so much flavour. We loved the ambiance, the service and everything overall. Our waitress was super sweet and made sure we were fully taken care of even though it was busy. Will definitely come back again

My family and I came here for the taste of Clarkson, its always my go to restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was great! My server was very nice she always came to check up on us to make sure we were okay. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, I give it a 10/10.

Food is a joke . I mean I asked for burger to be cooked medium, it was acknowledged yet cooked well done, I understand Canadian government requires well done but assumed I could sign waver for properly cooked burger. Also bun was twice the size of patty. My mother ordered salmon salad and salmon was garbage Atlantic farm raised and over cooked. My father got seared scallops which were lacking any sort of crust. Moral of the story is the chef is a bad cook, not a bad chef, a bad cook. Also my fries were limp and soft, they can t even deep fry fries correctly. Best part was seeing two guys which I assume were manager and owner at the bar with identical haircuts. Moral of the story is you get a fake posh environment with garbage food and a restaurant set to 76 degrees. I mean cmon, imagine being so cheap you set your restaurant to 76 . I guess you can t expect much from the owner/ manager who had identical hair cut. Seems they are still disoriented from Hanibal pillaging their southern Italian family. Regardless an absolute laugh that they put on fancy vibes while serving pillaged food

Solstice in Clarkson. We went for lunch and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The Beef Carpaccio was on point with just the right amount of Grana Padano and balsamic reduction. The blackened salmon salad was exquisite. I am a sucker for goat cheese, and the mango & poppy seed dressing was refreshing. Highly recommend!

I went here recently for a family members birthday celebration dinner and was very impressed with the service and the really good food!

We booked the party room for our son s baptism dinner at Soltice with about 60 guests. We had an amazing experience, and all our guests loved the food and atmosphere. The staff were friendly and very accommodating! We had the family style dinner and there was so much food and everything tasted delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any event!

Chef cant cook. Salmon dry and meat tough. Unbelievable for the prices. Server was rude. Nice looking restaurant. Would be best to find a chef and server. All the best to you.

Server asked if there was a special occasion. We said yes, that we were there celebrating my birthday. It was actually my 50th so extra special. A guy at the table next to us was served a slice of cheesecake with a sparkler on it and we thought that was very nice of them. My daughter wanted to go and tell them to do the same for me but my sister assured her they would which is why they asked what the occasion was. I order a slice of cheesecake. Didn t get a sparkler or a Happy Birthday wish. Not that I demanded it but why ask if you weren t going to act on it? My daughter was let down by it the most. That said, the cheesecake was scrumptious. My wife got the tiramisu and it was just BURSTING with rich coffee flavour! My sister ordered the calamari which was mediocre and unremarkable. I went for the recommended veal au jus. Lacked a bit of salt but otherwise was HEAVENLY. Kids all got pasta with a white sauce that they said was the best they ever had. I tried a fork and the seasoning was 10/10 and the texture of the pasta was dead-on perfect. Overall it was a great night out and we will be back for sure.

Place is nice, server polite and professional, could have had more help. Food disappointing, the veal was Hard and way to much spaghetti , the Bamvino was okay but the sea bass was lacking in taste, very bland.

One of my favorite restaurants in the area especially considering the price. Premium food for a solid price. I typically order the daily special and it never failed to disappoint. Service has always been amazing. No complaints! Highly recommend solstice.

Ive ordered pickup three times from this restaurant and they do such an amazing job with the food every time. The restaurant looks beautiful, cozy and clean. I just wish they had a little more options but their chicken parm is to die for. The staff is friendly and efficient. Ill definitely be back and may eat in, next time.

We enjoyed a Mothers Day set menu of three courses at Solstice--salad/soup, main and dessert. The food was excellent. Delicious. Beautifully presented. The portions are large. I took home a takeaway container. For an Italian restaurant, the price is reasonable, cheaper than others Ive dined at where the portions are small and the price higher. Weve also eaten there at other times. The ambience is lovely and the service is warm. Lovely evening. Thank you. Vegetarian options: Excellent meat, seafood and vegetarian options. I had the vegetarian. Delicious salads and desserts.

Great restaurant nestled in beautiful Clarkson! Highly recommend this restaurant Good size portions delicious food Food : 4/5 |

Fabulous Italian Eatery need in Clarkson Food was very delish Highly recommend coming here. Food : 5/5

My favourite authentic Italian restaurants in Mississauga. Thank You Vince and Gianpaul the passionate owners and staff who take pride in serving quality food, wine and a delicious dinner experience. See you again soon.

Welcoming atmosphere!

Went for dinner last night. I ve had take out from Solstice several times but this was the first time dining in. Our server, Taylor was so friendly and accommodating! Every single item that we ordered was incredible. The crispy Brussel sprouts are amazing! And I m so happy to find a place that does bolognese sauce without pork! I will be back for the that over and over! Great ambiance and service. Solstice is a little gem in Clarkson

Ordered for takeaway; the service was wonderful, in a completely unexpected way. I would recommend this spot just based on that, but the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. We tried the calamari, orecchiette, paella, pappardelle, burger and a couple of pizzas (we only managed to take photos of the pizza!). All delicious, and next time we would like to come in to enjoy.

Delicious food and big portions

Excellent staff and food.

Had to give stars in all departments, you will love the experience ! Very thoughtful place and pleasant people! Had to say I came here bcz I couldnt find any reservations around and ended up having the best experience I could have One of those hidden gems

My fiancee and I have had take out from here a few times. I loved the Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka pasta. Although the Bolognese was average in my opinion - it was still good, but I can make the same quality at home. My fiancee loves their Veal Parmigiana, shes had it every time time and shes the type that needs variety! We live far enough away we can order and just drive there, its usually ready within 5 to 10 minutes on arrival and I think they hold back completing any important components before arrival, like putting the sauce on pasta to prevent over cooking and cooling down. We always get home in time to retain its flavor and is so much better than Uber companies, where the food is cold and you have to pay extra to have it brought directly to you. I recommend for this place (and other quality restaurants), dont let Uber deliver it - get it yourself - you wont regret it.

Thank you to the staff for the excellent service and the good food.

This restaurant is amazing. We had a family get-together of 20 plus people. The food all came out at the side time and hot, and it was delicious. Our server, Isabelle, was amazing . The atmosphere is wonderful . Due to the sizes of our party we had a private room. I will be going back. Thank you, Solstice Restaurant

Amazing waitress and amazing food. Loved the pasta and definitely recommend the pistachio gelato for any gelato fans!

Had lunch there today and ordered the special chicken Alfredo when it arrived the sauce was like soup, not what I expected from a higher end restaurant. The price was $21.95 which is the price on the menu so how is that a special. The 1/2 price wine does not include the house wine which we were not aware. Overall a less than enjoyable experience I won t be back. Kid-friendliness: Accepting Wheelchair accessibility:

I posted a review on Solstice restaurant on December 28. I have shown that review below. I received a response from the restaurant that I have also shown below. I feel I need to revisit the comments made in the response from the restaurant and that is as follows: I would like to address the comments made in the response from Solstice. Your assumption that you feel you have the right to address our budgetary concerns is quite presumptuous. It was not a case of budgetary concerns but merely a statement that your pricing for luncheon specials is over the top, along with the price of your wines. The pomposity of the statement speaks volumes of your reaction to constructive criticism. In the ideal scenario, management should have addressed our initial comments re the wine pricing instead of putting that on the server to explain. Just for the record, yes, the server asked if our meals were okay. Mention was made that the sauce was very thin and the response from the chef was that this was a natural reduction and that s how it comes out. So replacing the initial meal would have been exactly the same. You are correct, we would never entertain returning again since our expectations do not match your service or business. The initial review: This is my second time here for lunch. Went on a Wednesday for the half price wine special. Mine was reasonable at $22.50 half price but my friend wanted a Pinot Grigio and the only bottle they would offer was $65, hence 32.50 half price. Having said that, their house wine Pinot was offered by the bottle at $40 but for some reason that wasnt included in their advertised half price option. Not cool. Secondly our meal. So the luncheon special was penne chicken with Alfredo sauce. It was like a soup. Looked gross, but tasted ok. Also $21.95. Hardly a special. Would certainly not recommend. The restaurant s response: Hi Anna, Thank you for your visit yesterday. And thank you for taking advantage of our Half-Priced Wine Wednesday. Our Wine Wednesday s have become one of our most popular days of the week. We are able to offer our guests an opportunity to enjoy a bottle or two that they would not normally order. Our wine list is ever changing as we source wines from around the world. The half price only applies to wines from our bottle selection not our house wines. Just like any business, we reserve the right to choose what is offered under a sale. We are very surprised that you both left us a 1-star review. It is a very rare occurrence for us to receive your kind of rating. We use our reviews and feedback as a tool to continue to strengthen our business and provide better guest experiences. We always strive to exceed our guests expectations. In doing this, we have procedures and steps in place to ensure guest satisfaction. One of those steps is quality check from the server a few moments after any meal is served. This is to ensure the customer is happy and enjoying their meal and experience. Looking into this, the procedure was followed. Your server followed up with you both. She was informed that dish tasted great but not impressed with the presentation. We never want a guest to leave unhappy with their meal. She offered to have the dish remade but her offer to rectify the concern was declined. We are not able to understand why you both would provide feedback on food that you both didn t order. It is difficult for us to use that as constructive feedback and properly rectify issues. You decided to leave unhappy and provide a negative review instead. We pride ourselves in our food quality, selection, pricing, and service that has been well received and enjoyed by many of our guests over the past 18 years. Its unfortunate our business and services do not fit your budgets and expectations. It is also unfortunate and very sorry we will no longer be sharing our hospitality with you both. Happy New Year Solstice Management

The service was good, staff is friendly with a family feel. Although, the steak was tough and was of poor quality resembling a shank. Definitely not worth the $40. The dessert was slightly cold in the centre revealing potentially thawed from frozen and not fresh. I will not return. Do not recommend.

Went for a private party. Definitely worth visiting again.

Ask for Daves section. Limited but excellent wine list. Food has never disappointed, and keeps experience fresh with Daily specials

Good food, half priced wine was great, service was excellent.

My wife and I have been enjoying this restaurant for many years and its still one of our favorites. The service is top notch and the ambiance is excellent. The prices are good in terms of the quality of food you receive and the menu is refined and excellent. They tend to have prix fixe and special menus for holidays which are generally amazing. My go to is the seafood paella, Ive yet to eat a better one anywhere else! They are a staple of the Clarkson community and for good reason!

Amazing dinner as always! Been dining at this restaurant for many years. Service, atmosphere and food are always on point!

Lovely Italian restaurant. Good choice of food, friendly service and great atmosphere.

The food was pretty good. I had some pasta with lobster tail as a side. The service couldve been better. I was waiting on my server for nearly 10 to 15 minutes after the food came, so I can ask for cutlery, which should have already been provided.

Hands down best restaurant in town. Food is fantastic ! Bonus good portions Slightly on the pricier end of things but worth it for a special occasion. We went for the valentines special event and loved it.

This was my first time here, and Im going back. The food was amazing, staff was cheerful and friendly and the restaurant atmosphere was perfect. This is a place the whole family can go to or a nice quiet place for just you and your partner.

I recently visited this restaurant and was absolutely amazed by the quality of the food and the friendly service. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The food was cooked to perfection and the flavors were incredible. I especially enjoyed the variety of dishes they had to offer, and the presentation was beautiful. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious, satisfying meal. Five stars!

I have always been pleased with Solstice. Food is excellent and nicely presented - I have never been disappointed. Staff are courteous and attentive. The dining atmosphere is refined but without a stilted formality. Solstice remains one of my favourite restaurants in Peel Region.

Everything was excellent

Always excellent service and food. Our go to restaurant!!

Always amazing! Great food and fantastic friendly service.

Hosted my bridal shower here and it was amazing! The solstice team was so super patient with answering all my answers and concerns. The waitress Stephanie treated myself & my party guests like family, she truly went above & beyond with her services. Will highly recommend this place for private events.

The server was very nice and very polite. The drinks were very good. Unfortunately, the food was not. The calamari was not fresh and it was hard and the pasta I think I had too much paste in the sauce, attested funky.

Everything was great - the food and the service! Well be back for sure.

Amazing mothers day lunch.

Had Mothers Day Dinner and it was fantastic. The food we ate was delicious and the service we received from our waiter Isabelle was top notch. Very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food and a superb wine selection. Service is also excellent especially from Dave our favourite waiter.

Hosted a surprise 5th Anniversary party here for my husband. We had about 40 family and friends join us. My husband always raves about Solstice even though hes only been there once or twice so i thought why not surprise him there. Great experience, perfect private space and excellent food. We had the family dinner event menu, everything was cooked and seasoned nicely. The servers were really professional and worked hard and quickly to have the food and drinks out. More food than we could all finish haha I appreciate the ease of which the event happened and the special touch of having one of the brothers fake serve my husband and open the private room door for his surprise. Truly a family owned and run gem

Nice Italian restaurant in Clarkson.

Excellent place we had a friends 60th birthday party there great staff and service was awesome

Attended a gathering after a funeral in a section of the restaurant that can be closed off as a party room. The owners went the extra mile to provide a buffet with a variety of tasty sandwiches, small wraps, salads and dessert items, plus beverages including wine. Friendly staff, excellent variety of great food, accommodating and supportive family owners on site. Will be back!!

delicious food, even delicious poor service, sorry to say because I really like this place Maybe they had a bad day. But I will come back to this place

Excellent. Food was perfectly prepared. Steak was medium rare melt in your mouth. Everything seasoned perfectly.

My favourite food item I tasted was their brussel sprouts! I would place multiple orders next time Highly recommend this restaurant!

Great food , our waiter was friendly welcoming and excellent service. Atmosphere was nice and the food portions big and delicious, Italian ice cream yummy a must visit when in the area , see you soon.

Its such an amazing place! Our waitress Tanis was extraordinary. The chef (owner) came to the table to greet us.

Came here for Taste of Clarkson and we took advantage of their prix fixe menu. We got the arancini, salad, coffee rubbed steak, and the pasta. As for dessert, we got the cheesecake and the gelato. This was a lot of food for two people and we really tried to finish it all. The arancini had a good risotto flavour and was cooked well. The salad tasted fresh and I really enjoyed it. The steak was cooked well but the taste was just not as what I was expecting. I was surprised that the coffee didnt taste as strong but this was my first time trying it so I dont have much to compare it to. The pasta was a lot and came with three different kinds of meat. I really enjoyed the pistachio gelato and would probably get that one again. Overall, the experience was not too bad. The service was also okay. Id come by and try their pizza next time.

Great Italian Restaurant but not strictly Italian. There are other mainstream dishes on the menu. The food was outstanding. Right portion size and great presentation. Great service from Dave. I should mention that we visited for my wifes birthday. She is not picky but very selective about what restaurants she goes to. She said she would definitely visit here again. That alone deserves another star!

Had my intimate graduation dinner here! Staff were able to accommodate all our needs for a group of 15. Food and desserts were delicious and affordable for the party.

Amazing food and service from our waitress

This is a favourite of mine to go for breakfast lunch or brunch. Great food and staff. Indoors and outdoors on the patio. Always good Food : 4/5 |

I was trying to think of a great way to describe our experience here last night, and the only words that came to mind were, Oh. My. God! Everything was absolutely fantastic and we had such a wonderful and perfect experience here. We started with the octopus, fritto misto and burrata and wow, they were unreal. Especially the octopus, I couldnt believe how tender and tasty it was! Probably one of the best appetizers Ive ever had. The main meals were just as good too, if not better. My rigatoni alla vodka was literally INCREDIBLE and had the probably the best pasta sauce Ive ever tasted. My family had the salmon, the parpadelle bolognese, the seafood paella and the goat cheese and mushroom risotto and they were all fantastic too! For dessert, we shared the raspberry cheesecake, tiramisu and creme brulee and all three were delicious. By the end of the evening, we all couldnt help but gush to the chef about it all. Our server, Stephanie, was amazing and super, super nice and friendly. She made the experience so much better too and made us all feel like we were regulars from the minute we walked in! Thank you guys so much, what an amazing meal and we will definitely return! :)

Had the veal steak with shrimp. Amazing! Service was excellent! Definitely returning!

Vegetarian options: Im sure they have vegetarian options and if they dont let them know ahead of time and they will accommodate you. They aim to please Dietary restrictions: All you have to do is let them know ahead of time if you have restrictions. They aim to please Parking: The parking is in the plaza Kid-friendliness: Its a place for the family to come and enjoy a great meal together Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheel chair accessable

Server was friendly and knowledgeable; service was well timed. We both enjoyed our food very much; plenty of options. Seating and lighting was comfortable; a bit on the noisy side but we could talk comfortably

I booked a table of twelve pretty last minute as another restaurant lost the reservation Id made a month ago . With only a weeks notice, the staff at Solstice were phenomenal! They had no trouble booking us and made us feel as though we had our own little corner of the restaurant. We were celebrating our parents 50th anniversary and they pulled out all the stops for us! The food was exquisite and my picky father had no complaints for the first time! I can not recommend this restaurant more! This is now our go-to favorite restaurant! Thank you for making my parents anniversary a very memorable day.

We had a emotional event at Solstice with over 50 guests in their private room. I cannot say enough positive things about the entire teams patience and compassion provided to my family. The room was perfect and provided a screen to share photos and videos. With us being portuguese i had concerns whether my family would be satisfied with the menu but the food was also hit and more than enough to go around, they even provided to go containers for our guests to pack and go. Solstice Thank you again.

Loved the food and the staff

Great Italian restaurant. Enjoyed the attention to detail preparing the food. Huge wine selection. Would recommend.

I recently attended a wedding reception held at Solstice and my husband and I really enjoyed the entire evening! The restaurant is spacious enough to create an open atmosphere that didnt feel crowded given the amount of guests and tables. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were very generous! I enjoyed the arancini appetizer, chicken supreme main course, and the profiteroles filled with Nutella gelato for dessert. The staff were all incredible throughout the entire evening - so friendly and attentive! Would definitely return for dinner again!

Our son and new daughter-in-law had their wedding reception at Solstice this past weekend and what wonderful experience we had. Everyone was raving about the food and the service definitely a 10+. A big thank you to Vince and your incredibly accommodating staff, for making Michael and Catarinas wedding a fantastic memory for everyone. Again, thank you Vince for working so hard with my son and daughter-in-law and for giving them their dream wedding. Highly recommend Solstice Restaurant & Wine Bar, whether your a party of 2 or 100.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Mississauga. Unfortunately there are not many like this locally.

We had Solstice cater my mother-in-laws birthday dinner last night and we couldnt have had a better experience. The staff was helpful in the lead-up with menu selection and timing and the food was AMAZING! Everything was ready when we arrived to pick it up and the food was hot and delicious. Thank you again for going above and beyond to make her day special.

You want a special place for a special occasion, Solstice is the place!!! From the service, food and care all is looked after and you will not be disappointed!!!

Great food great atmosphere. Wonderful people.

Dino, Petro and I had a great meal. Highly recommend.

The service is very good, but unfortunately the food is not very good, the shellfish are not fresh enough, which is obviously not worth the price, and the seasoning is also bland.

We had a great first experience last night. From the warm greeting when we walked in, to the delicious meal & fantastic dessert. Highly recommend, we will be back.

Very good food. Service was great. Will be back

I was introduced to Solstice Restaurant and Wine Bar in the midst of our first lockdown in 2020. Its a family-owned and operated estaurant which prides itself on an excellent menu but even more importantly, phenomenal service. Everyone from front of house, the bar, and even meal prep will take the time to greet you with a smile or ask how everything is. My recommendation, the Epic Chicken Sandwich, its so good! Counting down the days to summer nights on their patio...

My friends and I discovered this restaurant a few years ago after failing to find a table at any of the Port Credit restaurants & we were not disappointed. Since then I have been back twice and I am surprised more people don t know about this place. The food is delicious. On my last visit I had the mushroom risotto and it was to die for. The service was great all around.

Always an amazing experience! Check it out, you will not be disappointed!!

Service was great but food was subpar. The great reviews got me with high expectations coming in but for the price point, the food was lacking. Ordered a Kobe burger but the patty was dry and tasteless with hardly any sauce and stale looking ingredients. I got the mushroom and goat cheese risotto which tasted alright. Also got the nonna pizza which was the best dish of the night. Great crusty bread. Overall alright experience, not worth the price

Always yummy at Solstice!

Delicious food and excellent service

The food was amazing. A very cute place to go to on date night!

Wonderful service and food!

Great place to host large parties, Delicious food.

Food was Amaizing

Yes its a nice experience at Solstice Restaurant come and check out the food it is great come for the Dining people and enjoy

Pizza was very good, and the service was amazing! I definitely would go back. :)

Best food! Wednesday half price of wine their wine selection is good!! Good service good food

First time here. Excellent food and service. Good price point. We are definitely going back!

Good was delicious but servie was lacking. Waited 45 minutes between dishes

All our meals were excellent, very tasty and large portions. Definitely we will go back as so many great options to choose. Service was also excellent!!

Great food and wonderful service. Parking: Lots of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Front entrance has a low curb for wheelchair access

Great dining experience every time! Friendly staff and the owners are just great people! A must try for lunch or dinner.

Fantastic food and service!!

Delicious food and great service... they exceeded our expectations. Thank-you to everyone - you all rock!!!

The atmosphere, ambience and food were great. We visited Solstice based on recommendation of a close friend, my boys loved their pizza and gnocchi; To top it off their gelato and coffee were all that us adults needed to top off the evening.

Excellent service and food. Big portions!

Had my sisters baby shower here today. I was so pleased with everything! The staff was incredible-professional and very friendly! The food was fantastic-fresh and delicious! Overall..the experience was amazing! I highly recommend Solstice for any occasion! Great job guys!!!!!!!

Cozy little place but can accommodate a good size party. We had a small party gathering here and so far they are good. We came a little early than our reserved time but they are good enough to accommodate us. Food is ok, the wine we had was great!

Good food, good service.

The food there was phenomenal. Best italian food Ive ever tasted. The service was also really good. They were so nice to us. Definitely would come back to this restaurant. I would give them a 5/5.

Food is delicious...and the atmosphere is terrific.

There s not much more compliment I can offer this restaurant other than my regular attendance. Im there weekly to enjoy some of my favourite items on the menu, but never disappointed when I explore the other items. I ve had both of my son s baptisms there and have hosted my staff parties there. They always deliver. Thanks gentleman, you ve earned my 5 stars!

My family and I dined here after a funeral. The restaurant was able to accomodate a group of 17 in a private area. The waiter, Dave, was exceptional as was the food and drink. They kept the restaurant open an hour after close for us and truly made a difficult time easier for our entire family. Amazing experience.

Great place to dine!!

Nice place, very good food and lots of fun

The food and atmosphere were bang on, and the waiting staff serving our party helped start the festive feeling. You could tell that they really enjoyed what they were doing and is getting harder to find that joy in the hospitality industry. We will be back.

Food and service were great; staff very friendly and helpful. The only thing I didnt like was that the dining room was too brightly lit. Our waitress was very attentive and tried to dim the lights but it wasnt possible. Next time we go we will make reservations for the lounge which had much nicer lighting.

Went here for a work Christmas party. We had a very nice/large private room. The food was a fixed menu but offered a variety of options. The staff did a great job of managing our large group. Would definitely go here again.

It was my first time visiting this place and I was not disappointed. We where there for a party of 19 to celebrate my parents 60th wedding anniversary. Food was delicious with generous portioning, service was amazing by all (special shout out to Laura). We were made to feel welcome and particularly appreciated the feeling of not being rushed. I will be returning 100% with some friends and highly recommend to visit. Great job!

Solstice is a fine restaurant,but not exceptional. There are restaurants n the area that are better for the same price point. The restaurant itself is nice and waitstaff was great, but the food did not wow me. Will not likely return.

We had a family holiday party with about 30 of us. The food was delicious, the staff attentive and the atmosphere was lovely. We had a private room in the back and it was spacious enough for us all to sit and eat and to have a kids colouring table, a dessert table and a gifts table. Thank you Solstice! Kid-friendliness: They had great kids options as well as high chairs and boosters.

These guys have always been good, but have been hitting it out of the park during lockdown. Their daily features and takeout specials have been a glimpse of the better days ahead!

Always a great place to enjoy a meal. Never disappointted

The guys at Solstice are great! My family and I have been coming here for years and every time we come, Vince and Andrew are very friendly and hospitable. Since the pandemic we ve tried to order from Solstice as much as possible to support them and they are doing a very good job during curbside and the food is just as good as usual!

Moved to the area 3 years ago and have been going there and ordering from there during the pandemic and the food is amazing. Thank you for the delicous food and service.

Amazing service & amazing environment! All of the staff treats every single one of their guests like family which is amazing seeing as this is a family owned business. Food is among the best offerings on Lakeshore and the pride they have for their business is spectacular!

Great food,atmosphere at reasonable price

What a fantastic evening at Solstice last night! We celebrated a friends birthday and the food and service was beyond our expectations! Stephanie was amazing and the food well you need to go to find out! Been living in Port Credit for over 10 years and not sure why it took us this long to go! I ve heard only great things about it & now I can vouch for it as well! The first thing my husband and I said to eachother this morning was THAT FOOD last night . Wow! Excellent! If I could give a 10 I would!

We have always supported this restaurant for many years. But recently they are burning everything, it was embarrassing so say the least, would only expect this sort of burnt charred food if I was in hell.. come on guys youll have been in the business way to long and survived COVID.. get this checked and rectified. We recommended some friends last week .. and you burnt their dinner... octopus... veal.. maybe you guys need a timeout. You did not even compensate them or apologize considering they did could not eat their burnt bitter meal. Shame shame guys !!

Love it my place for dinner now always

Always great times here! Amazing food and service last night!

Great Italian food, desserts, coffee and cocktails.Service is top notch. Patio has nice shade

Food was great. Server was excellent and made our experience pleasant. The only thing off for me was price of drinks.

As always, excellent selection and product, combined with courteous, attentive service.

Great quality Great portions Great service We have been ordering from Solstice throughout the pandemic and really felt they had great quality food that actually held together as a take-away (opposed to dine-in). My favorite has been the veal parmigiana - one of the best in the city for sure. This past weekend when the city opened up to indoor dining, my wife and I decided to make a reservation and try it. It was great! The food was fantastic and the server (I think her name was Angie) was really sweet. I of course ordered the veal, and my wife ordered a vegetarian dish which she really enjoyed. The chef is very good in making slight alterations or helping with allergy accommodations. They have a decent wine menu nothing special, but you ll find something you want at a decent price. Easy to get parking and just off of Lakeshore so easy to find if you re ubering/etc. The venue is quiet and has great lighting for a dinner event. We also noticed a number of people eating on small tables just outside the restaurant great for the summer warm weather. For dessert we had the bourbon creme brule - a must!

Great food. Excellent service... Nice little patio... Love it!

Great service and the specials are worth it for the price.

We needed a place in between east end Toronto, where we are from, and Burlington, where our friends were from. I chose THIS! I could not have made a better choice. The service was exceptional....friendly, professional, knowledgeable. The menu is extensive, and each dish we ordered was prepared with incredibly fresh ingredients, was creative, and the portions were generous for the price, which is always appreciated. Highly recommend!

Does not look like much from the outside. The food is excellent. The wine selection is very reasonable with exceptional quality. Great value for the money and looking forward to our next visit.

BRO..Their pizza was wild. Like straight up. Now Im gonna have to drive from Burlington for this pizza. I almost cried as soon as it touched my Thicc lips. Beautiful atmosphere and amazing staff. Cant wait to go again.

If you re here deciding weather or not to order the Epic Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich tonight then go right ahead and order it before reading the rest of my review. They weren t wrong to call it epic! The staff at Solstice are incredibly helpful and friendly. They have adapted their business well to Covid times and are a real gem of the neighbourhood. I look forward to sitting down for a meal there. Update: We had a fanatic meal at solstice with wonderful food and great service. You ll have a great time here, you are in good hands.

Good food at reasonable price.

Ordered a catering for my small party. It was ready for me to pick up on time, all hot and nicely packaged and food was delicious, especially grilled octopus and roast beef. Definitely coming back to eat at the restaurant.

Great portions, good selection, well seasoned and good flavour.

Incredible food, service and atmosphere! Will definitely return and recommend!

Wonderful service, fabulous food, terrific vibe in the CLARKSON community. A great night, thanks everyone!

Excellent restaurant. The food is fantastic, the service excellent and the atmosphere is perfect. Its our 3rd visit and its been 5 star every time.

Went about one month ago for my dads birthday. We made a reservation ahead of time(recommend). All 4 dishes were great, however we had to wait a while for them (over 30 minutes, probably close to an hour). And just a tip - do not bring small children.

I wouldnt go anywhere else. Their service is excellent

The food here is phenomenal. We went with our dental team and everyone was pleased with the food. The service was a little slow but its understandable since we went on a weekday with a larger group.

Amazing food and service. The epic buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and truffle fries are a must try!

Excellent new York steak, great service. Did check proof of vaccination, though they did forget to check my ID to match identity.

One of the best restaurants my wife and I have been to. We have been going there for over 7 years and we have never been disappointed. The service and food is top notch. I had the 12 ounce veal chop last night done medium rare and it was exquisite! On our last visit I had the chicken paccata. Another incredibly done dish! Thank you Solstice for another great night!

Pleasant standard Italian Canadian offerings.

Very friendly service, tasty food, nice ambience.

Excellent service and very generous portion sizes

This restaurant has amazing food. Service is great

Weve lived in Clarkson for the past 3 years and just discovered this wonderful restaurant hidden off a small plaza off Lakeshore and Clarkson Road. My husband and I went there for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. We had such a great time and the food was excellent. Kudos to the server we had who was so personable and very knowledgeable about the menu. I wish I remembered her name. We loved the ambience of the restaurant. I highly recommend this place for the quality of their food and the excellent customer service we received. We will definitely return.
