“ Solstice Kitchen was incredible! Everything about the Holiday Inn Resort Lumina was incredible, and the food and service here was fantastic. This was just a single night getaway, so I only had dinner and breakfast. The restaurant space was immaculate. Great lighting, tons of seating options (booths, bar, tables, even an area in the back that was like a separate room for larger parties). The decor was clean and simple and uncluttered. There's a great view of the beach, even from inside, and plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas. I ate inside but several folks were outdoors. Birds or other critters were not a nuisance at all. The menu isn't too extensive, but there were several meals I would've liked to try. I went with the fried chicken sandwich and sweet potato tots. Portion size was just right and at a good price. The sweet potato tots were crispy and delish, and the dressing on the sandwich was so good. I also tried the pistachio torte for dessert. Just wow. Breakfast is a buffet style with made to order omelettes. There was also fruit, pastries, breads (and a toaster), eggs, potatoes, grits, biscuits and some meat options (I didn't try any but I saw bacon). The butter was hard and the biscuits were dry, so that was crumbly. But everything else was excellent. The woman making the omelettes was a true artist. I also asked for a chai latte, and they brought a fresh made one over from the Longboard Cafe in the lobby. It was chef's kiss My servers, Abby and Allison, were an absolute delight. Friendly, attentive, great with recommendations and small talk, but not too in your face. Everyone I interacted with seemed genuinely happy to work there. There was an overall happy vibe that was soooo welcoming. My entire experience at the resort was outstanding, and the meals and service were beyond anything I've experienced in a long time. I will definitely make an effort to come back out here again. ”
“ We were looking for somewhere that opened early because we wanted to watch the sunrise on the beach. So we strolled the beach and waited until solstice opened. We were the first customers of the morning and we had great service! Brunch was amazing! 20 pp overlooking the beach is unheard of! I highly recommend! ”
“ I finally got to try the award-winning Coconut Delight Cheesecake and it absolutely lives up to the hype! This decadent dessert took home 3 of 4 awards in the "Sweets" category at last year's Taste of Wrightsville Beach (Best Tasting, Best Presentation and People's Choice). One bite, and it’s easy to see why! You’re gonna want seconds—might as well take one to go! ”
“ Our server Liz was the BEST!!!! She was very attentive and caring! We loved having her! All of the staff was beyond pleasant. We were here celebrating a bride and the staff celebrated our bride so well!! If you are on a bachelor/bachelorette trip this is the spot to come to!!!! Great spot! ”
“ We went here and had starters and drinks. Firstly, all the starters we had were lovely. The crab cake and bbq flatbread were my absolute fave. The riptide and pina colada drinks were also fantastic. The staff here are lovely and there was no dull moment here. Lastly, the view (and Ben though there was a lot of fog on the day we visited) is amazing. Highly recommend. ”
“ The vibes are cute. The views are great. The service 10/10 and very accommodating. First time here. Will be coming back for sure for brunch. ”
“ Today was sunny and warm so we started the week off right by taking advantage of early voting. We went to the library near the ocean to vote and luckily got there before the line was out in the parking lot. Since it took us around 90 minutes we chose to find a place for lunch before heading home! We drove an extra 2 miles into Wrightsville Beach to Solstice which is located in the Holiday Inn Resort right on the beach! Our lunch capped off the day; Deb had the Chicken Sandwich and I had Shrimp Tacos! The food was great and since it is not in season we were seated immediately and our server Wendy helped us have a casual lunch! ”
“ Stopped in for lunch and started with the cornbread appetizer, followed by the grilled chicken sandwich and fries. My wife had the beef sandwich—both were excellent! After two cocktails, two entrees, and an appetizer, our total came to 85, which felt reasonable given the generous portions, great service, and stunning views. It’s rare to find a restaurant with a view that also delivers on food quality—usually, the scenery makes up for subpar meals, but that wasn’t the case here. As a local, I’ll definitely be back! ”
