    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!

    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

    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 couldn't believe how tender and tasty it was! Probably one of the best appetizers I've 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 I've 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 couldn't 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! :)

    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.

    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 wife's 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!

    I've 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 to die for. The staff is friendly and efficient. I'll definitely be back and may eat in, next time.

    Great restaurant! Great service from the staff. Calamari appetizer was fantastic and the gnocchi was great as well. Had a nice quiet night on a Wednesday evening so the night was perfect. Prices are reasonable. Will likely return for seconds, thirds...

    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.

    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 restaurantgreat for the summer warm weather. For dessert we had the bourbon creme brule - a must!

    We came here for their Valentine’s Day menu and the food was delicious, especially the Beef Wellington (please make this a permanent menu item). The Valentine’s theming throughout the meal was a cute touch. Only area for improvement was the cheesecake. The base was too wet and had a grainy texture and the “raspberry” sauce on top of lacklustre…bit of a disappointing contrast to how everything else tasted. My partner’s crème brûlée made up for it and was deliciously creamy.

    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.

    Absolute Gem! Can't believe I haven't been here before in all my years living in Mississauga. Excellent, friendly service with incredibly detailed knowledge of the menu. Gluten free options available and our server helped with that. Warm olive appetizer was soooo good. Seafood paella was absolutely to die for. Fresh, hot and flavourful. Very clean restaurant, clean restrooms, classic dining room with beautifully set tables. This restaurant also hosts parties and has a separate dining area for that. We will be back, and will bring friends and family. I highly recommend.

    I booked a table of twelve pretty last minute as another restaurant "lost" the reservation I'd made a month ago 😒. With only a week's 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.

    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 he's 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 ❤️

    We had Solstice cater my mother-in-law's birthday dinner last night and we couldn't 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.

    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 Catarina's 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.

    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!

    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.

    It's 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 didn't taste as strong but this was my first time trying it so I don't 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. I'd come by and try their pizza next time.

    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.

    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!!

    This was my first time here, and I'm 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.

    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🥰

  • 5/5 Jason B. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!
