Solaire Restaurant Bar - Santa Cruz

My wife and I went to Solaire for a dinner date. Our waitress Shirlyn was on point. I ordered the Samauri Beef Tenderloin and I could have licked the plate. The carrot bacon puree was light and airy with just a touch of bacon flavor. SO delicious! The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. Broccolini, baby back potatoes and shitakes mushrooms were fresh, tender and perfectly seasoned. The new chef has upped the food game in Santa Cruz

Honey sriracha wings were flavorful, a good combo of sweet and spice. The seasonal margarita was SO good. I asked for tajin on the rim and they actually had it, which was a plus, the seasonal marg was pineapple and jalepeno and tasted fresh! We also had fries and the ahi tuna appetizer, not pictured, both very good. But most importantly the ambiance was top notch. My girlfriends and I went during a sunny afternoon in February, which typically would be cold and even colder with the wind, but the architecture of the paradox doesn't allow for wind with its high walls, so you get to enjoy warming up in the sun by the pool should you choose to sit outside, the inside also looked incredibly aesthetically pleasing).

Stopped by here yesterday just to check it out, gorgeous lighting, wild marble on the bar. the pool was crystal clear. our waitress, cheyenee was very attentive and helpful. home to come back again for such a welcoming experience

Awesome New Year's eve 4 course meal!! With great options for pescatarians. Ambiance was good and Crystal our Waitron was really attentive and sweet!!

Recent first trip to Santa Cruz with a new rescued dog. Choose Paradox because of being pet friendly and that dogs are allowed throughout hotel and Solarie as well as pool area. Staff very friendly and interactive...for the most part... Cocktails are a good pour and served poolside (if you like). We ate all our meals here. No complaints. Burgers the bomb! Wraps were awesome. Fries off the chart.
