Solstice - Kingston

Had a terrible experience! I respect other people that want to have quiet dinner and not listen to a baby or toddler getting excited, but the staff should know and let us know right away that it was not kid friendly restaurant. Besides the waitress that was trying to provide a good experience, everyone else was rude, specially the hostess. One of the staff came to our table and said “we will have to take you baby if he continue to make noise as people are complaining”. I would totally understand and would probably take the kids out to not disturb the other costumers, but there are better ways to say that to someone. The duck was also not good!

Absolutely awesome food, great service, good ambiance. Parking: Can get busy and tight.

REPORTED TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENTServed us food that made us sick. Then yelled at us for reporting it to him.Can you imagine bragging about going to the Culinary Art Institute of America? You might as well brag about going to Le Cordon Bleu. Pathetic.

I really didn’t want to leave this review but after my boyfriend being scolded on the phone by the owner I fear I must.We dined at solstice last night to celebrate our two year anniversary. The food was great, the service was great, everything was awesome.. until it wasn’t.We got home and walked the beach and my boyfriend proposed to me (I said yes!)We called our families and about an hour to two hours later our stomachs started to hurt. We thought maybe it was nerves from excitement. Well.. let me tell you.. we were the sickest we had ever been in our lives. Both of us throwing up and needing to use the rest room all night. It was absolutely horrifying.I know food borne illness can happen were not stupid. So we were never going to leave this review publicly.. but we called the restaurant and emailed no answer. Finally we called again and then the owner called me. He immediately started berating us and telling us we were liars and that he has never had someone sick from his food.He then called my boyfriend dramatic and said that we couldn’t possibly get so sick so soon after food poisoning so it must not have been true.Today was supposed to be the HAPPIEST day after getting engaged and we truly have never felt so sick, and then to be told we’re liars. Wild.I’ve been in the service industry half of my life and this was so poorly handled it’s not even funny.You can see if you click on my profile that I always leave RAVING reviews at establishments.. so this is hard for me to write.Also.. Kayla our sever was absolutely wonderful.

Really tasty food I got the steak and it was incredible. This place is more expensive side of things and have a right to be that way as the quality is 5 star. As far as restaurants go- this one is run perfectly.
