“Stopped in for lunch to a restaurant I had visited before, as my regular was so busy and had no parking available. I truly had a great Dungeness crab salad! Awesome dressing on lettuce that did not overpower the whole. Cucumber crisp, tomatoes were good, sliced boiled egg, plenty of a perfectly beautiful avocado sliced on top, sliced asparagus was a yum and a great portion of sweet tasty Dungeness crab. I now want to return to try other things on the menu. Only I just didn't get a water refill , but they were busy so that was overlooked.“

“Great Food & Drinks with a beautiful pet friendly patio.“
“Best gyro and the dolma is INCREDIBLE! This is a MUST VISIT spot when in the area. Tell Sam that Chris & Zip sent you. You’ll be addicted to his food, service and charm. A place for real Mediterranean flavors, and none of that big box processing. He’s open Monday - Saturday, with tri-tip on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Honestly, stop by and try the food. You will be transported to a new land of flavors and comfort.“

“My wife and I went in for lunch. It was our first time dining and we didn’t know what to expect. The food was excellent. They made great use of fresh local greens and seafood and all the plates were really beautifully composed. We had a great lunch!“

“I’ve eaten here many times. The first time I had the Bacon Jam BLT. It is beyond delicious! It is so good that I have ordered it every time since, even though the rest of their menu looks good as well. The two sisters are absolutely wonderful hosts/waitresses and are very charming. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“I've only done takeout from here. The pad Thai is great, the pumpkin curry, too (sometimes made with kabocha!). The BBQ pork over rice with carrots & broccoli is yummy. I have yet to order ahead - I show up and see what strikes my fancy and order that. It's a bit of a wait because it's not served from a steam table, but finished to order. Friendly staff. Phone pay works, & emailed receipts.Vegetarian options: Dishes can be made with tofu.Dietary restrictions: The carbs are rice, so the gluten free crowd can eat here.“

“I hate to give a local restaurant a bad review but the last two times I was at Blue Ridge once for lunch and once for dinner I was extremely disappointed. For starters the music was incredibly loud and heavy metal which did not go with a relaxing eating experience. When I politely asked if they could turn the music down since I couldn't hear myself think I got an eye roll. That made me want to leave right then and there. The second time was the exactly the same with loud music and an eye roll from a different waiter. The service was not particularly gracious and the food was good though extremely expensive. I understand that the chef has now taken over as the owner and things definitely feel different than they used to. The music seems more for people in the kitchen rather than the people eating. For a meal that's easily $50 plus the service does not live up to the food.“
