Solstice Seasonal Cuisine - Edmonton

The food here is undeniably excellent and the atmosphere is lovely. As other reviewers have noted, portions are very small; however this is not unusual in a restaurant serving this calibre of food. The service, however, needs a bit of gas. It was mediocre at best. No introduction, no menu explanation, no food or wine recommendation, no affect whatsoever. If you are going to be serving food of this quality, you need the service to go with it. If we hadn't automatically been charged an 18% gratuity automatically ( as we were a party of six), this may have been one of the rare times I would have left a much smaller tip than industry standard.

Solstice is a welcome addition to the Edmonton restraint scene. The creativity with the food doesn't leave it lacking in flavour. For example: the tomato salad. You could go somewhere else and get your average caprese salad (which you could make at home with no skill whatsoever), or at Solstice it includes the most flavourful tomato sorbet, a basil gel and a lettuce velouté. We also ate the wild boar cheek, the beef tenderloin and the smoked pork hock and were not disappointed. Yes, it's a bit expensive, but it's worth the delicious creativity and great service.

This was our first visit to the restaurant. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and really enjoyed the romantic atmosphere. The food was exceptional, the service superb (there when we needed them, not when we didn't) and the overall experience made for a great night out. Thanks. We will return.

We loved the menu and the preparation at this restaurant. Our dinner was really tasty. The ambiance was relaxed and the service was prompt. Overall, a great place.

Lovely evening with family. The food was outstanding and beautifully prepared. Our server was helpful and kind. It was a bit noisy but it may have just been the group of people there that night.
