Hydro Grill

Excellent food and drinks. Enjoyed our time there. Pros: good all around Cons: mixed themes visually; scams by adding tip to charge more

I've been visiting Calistoga for years and it is truly one of my very favorite places to go for a relaxing get-a-away weekend. Because there are limited restaurants in town, I like to have breakfast, lunch & dinner at the same restaurant, at different times and visits, to get a good feel for it. I was really disappointed and frankly surprised at both the service and food at the Hydro Bar & Grill. I have been there for breakfast/brunch and it was really good, however dinner was a completely different story. We sat down immediately and ready to start our weekend with a cocktail. We both ordered one of their ""specialty"" drinks which was their version of a ?Mojito?. It tasted as though it was thrown together without any thought or perhaps I was having an ""off"" day? One word to the bartender only ? ?muddle?. Pros: Great for breakfast/brunch Cons: Service could be better, presentation counts! more

Those of you who thought Hydro sucked, think again! The new chef has brought new life back to the old girl! With tasty appetizers like grilled flatbread with tatziki & hummus, large salads with local greens, and baby back ribs so good you'll want to order more to take home, Hydro has elevated itself from ""the place you go when no one else has tables"" to ""the place you go for good, local food with no attitude"". The music on the weekends makes this the only happening spot in Calistoga after 10pm!! Check it out! Pros: Affordable, Casual, Good Food Cons: Noisy, Crowded more
