“I LOVE this place. It is California cool, your glass is never empty, and dishes are delicious and executed beautifully. These are pictures from dinner but we've dined here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner multiple times because of which just know the menu doesn't really change but then again why change a good thing? Hot tip- they make their own hot sauce and it is yum!“

“After spending most of the day wine tasting and venturing around the Napa Valley, I figure a sweet, creamy dessert would be the ideal treat after a hearty lunch. This takes us on a trip to the small community of Calistoga where I got to try out "Calistoga Creamery. Located directly on Lincoln Ave (Highway 29) and adjacent to Fair Way, this place has been serving up delicious ice cream dating back to 2017. Hours are also very generous as they're opened for business 7 days a week from 12:30-9:30pm. I arrived here during the afternoon of Saturday 4/6/2024 at around 3:50pm. Parking can be challenging but this area surprisingly has a ton of available street parking as well as "Cal Mart" which is a block away. Keep in mind that the this place has a very small interior with no seating. However, there is ample outdoor seating for the more comfortable days (weather permitting). All of their ice cream and frozen yogurt is organic and made fresh. Since I had eaten a fairly big lunch, I ended up going with one small scoop of their "Cookies & Cream"; priced at $5.00 (including tax). During my visit, it was absolutely packed with customers so it was tough to really look at their entire selection. And during my visit, there was only one employee that took the order, scooped your ice cream, and rung up the transaction. Kudos to her for doing a stellar job. With that said and done, "Calistoga Creamery" is an above average ice cream parlor with a nice variety to choose from. When I first entered, I noticed the aromatic scent of cinnamon as they actually use a small triangular waffle cone in that flavor to add to your ice cream cone or cup. Great location, excellent customer service, decent prices, and tasty ice cream is why I give this place an above average four star rating.“

“Lovely lunch spot in the heart of Calistoga, the staff are really friendly and we got a good table inside with a view looking out on the street. We ordered 2 wraps and they were really tasty, especially the chicken Caesar one. We also ordered a southwest chicken wrap which was a little too spicy for our liking and we didn't realise it would taste this way. Otherwise it is a lovely spot for lunch and I would still return.“

“I will say this, wine tasting is an excellent way to work up your appetite. And what better way than enjoying some hearty comfort food smack dap in historic downtown Calistoga? This takes me none other to "House of Better". Located directly on Lincoln Ave (Highway 29) and adjacent to Fair Way, this place has been serving delicious plates dating back to early-2021. They do have generous hours of operation being opened for business 7 days a week from 8am-8pm while being open an hour later at 9pm on Friday & Saturday nights. I came here for what would be a late lunch/early dinner during the afternoon of Saturday 4/6/2024 at around 2:50pm. My significant other and I parked just a block away at nearby Cal Mart and made the short 2-minute walk to the business. To give you an idea of what this place is all about, it is primarily an outdoor type atmosphere with Astroturf throughout, Adirondack chairs, hanging lights (after the sun goes down), a large pizza oven, a nearby swing, picnic tables, heat lamps, and an indoor shack (in case the weather is not cooperative). This place is also directly next to "Dr. Wilkinson's Resort & Mineral Spring" which is a hotel that includes an outdoor pool and other amenities including a dedicated mud bath area. As far as the menu goes, this place offers mainly that Tex-Mex cuisine combined with American, Spanish, and Mexican bites all in one. Best of all, they serve breakfast + brunch (until 2pm), small bites, all day dishes, pies, and a full bar that serves sangria, margaritas, beer, Kombucha, well drinks, and even hot + iced espresso drinks. Since I was starving, I ended up going with their "Green Chile Burger" (for $20). This burger offers Kobe beef, aged cheddar cheese, grilled onions, roasted green chiles, pickled onions, & seasoned french fries w/ketchup and chipotle aioli sauces. My lady went with their "Grains + Grills Kale Salad w/Chicken" (for $24). This warm salad had a blend of quinoa, black beans, jicama, and chipotle lime vinaigrette. To drink, I tried the "Corazon"; beet-infused agave wine margarita & oranges while she went with their "Red Sangria". Since it was a cool 58°F day, we took advantage eating inside the cozy shack area. Our drinks arrived in just a few minutes while our food followed shortly after. My burger was made to perfection as the patty was hearty and very juicy. It also had that nice spicy kick while the bun was slightly toasted. In all fairness, it was a good burger but priced a little high at $20. My lady also said her Grains + Grills was delicious but that too was priced steep at $18 and $6 more when you add the chicken. However, my agave margarita was tasty and quite filling. All in all, "House of Better" is definitely worth checking out and if you are okay spending around $40 for lunch, I say go for it. The employees & service were top notch, food was made to perfection, ambiance and atmosphere was unique and one-of-a-kind. Just the outdoor area alone is absolutely worth checking out. Therefore, when you factor everything in, I am giving House of Better an above average four-star rating.“

“We were looking for a light meal in Calistoga on a Monday evening when not many restaurants were open. We bought takeout food from this small restaurant. The food was very good and not expensive. One entree with rice was enough for two people. The man at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The fortune cookies brought us good luck. :-)“

“I stayed here and couldn't have been more pleased with the choice. I loved everything about this inn. From the drive into Calistoga to the check out and everything in between. The staff was amazing, everything was clean and very picturesque. The food was amazing too, I highly recommend the charcuterie board and the beer flight. I have already decided if able to, I will most definitely be staying here again when visiting the beautiful wine country.“

“Amazing place with delicious food. I recommend the Massaman dish. I love Massaman, but it comes with prawns, but they swapped it out with chicken upon my request. I've never been to that area of Calistoga before, and I loved it there. It's such an amazing town. And, an ice cream shop just one block down, which is really good too. Highly recommended. Has gluten-free options.“

“This place is great! The food is fabulous from tuna tartar appetizer, duck confit, or the Benedict brunch options. The out door patio is spacious and beautiful as your surrounded by redwood and palm trees. Also a great vibe nestled up to Lincoln Blvd (our Main Street).“
