"The Real Deal is Calistoga Inn Restaurant & Brewery which delivered on some flavor and plenty of different dining settings. Let’s start off with we did not stay just stopped in for food so our rating is based on the restaurant. So the service was pretty solid, not very upbeat server just very mellow. Greeted pretty quick and food came out in a respectable time. The atmosphere has a lot to offer, inside dinning is very nice but they had the doors open which allowed a lot of bugs flying around, nice indoor area separated from everywhere else. A ton different seating options outside which made for a great all around atmosphere no matter the mood. Now let’s move onto the main event: da Food! The chicken dish was really good very juicy and puffy mashed potatoes overall 9/10. The steak was not good at all 4/10 bad cut of meat and cook and seasoning not there. Rest of the steak meal was 6/10. Overall a fun and great spot with some good options, until next time cheers!"
