This is a regular stop for me, mostly because of the service/the people, the quality meal, and I love the bar. It's a reasonable price for a very good quality, and it's the type of place you want to make your regular go-to.
First, the people are as good as it gets. From bartenders, the wait staff, and especially the folks that greet you at the door when you walk in, you always feel at home. Always. I remember I discovered this place during the height of the pandemic, and they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. It's never changed since day one. Whether it's a more intimate Wednesday night crowd, or the place is packed for a big game, the service is always top notch. I am always amazed at how much time the staff takes with everybody individually. They serve you your food hot and timely, and stay attentive to you throughout your entire stay.
All the food I have had here is good. I can't say enough about the Penne Sausage! I really need to have tried more things, and I think I will in the years to come, but right now I'm on a jag with this dish. Sausage has just the right amount of spice, always served piping hot with a creamy red sauce that is delicious. Smart enough to give you freshly baked bread for mop up duty; come hungry, because you will need the space. By the time I'm done with this dish they can take my plate and put it right back on the rack. No cleaning required that thing is so cleaned off! I have tried other things here, the Caprese salad, the brussels sprouts, the wings, it's all good in the Solana Hood.
The bar area is just great. They have outdoor seating, indoor seating with plenty of open windows and doors to let the California weather in. But, I love the bar area. People, the servers are so wonderful here, that it becomes infectious to the regulars and not so regulars who enjoy Crust.
I'll give it five stars on food, service, drink, value. Plenty of parking easy in and out off the five. I honestly have nothing bad to say.
Enjoy!
