A word from Solas

Solas Dine|Lounge|Rooftop. Unlike any other establishment in the Triangle, Solas offers three levels of dining and entertainment. Solas has a wonderful outdoor patio flowing into a warm inviting main dining room and bar area. The 2nd level transitions to an ultra-lounge with stunning decor, two… private dining rooms, and low-profile seating around a dance floor that peeks into the first floor dining room. The Solas roof deck is an oasis escape with relaxing private lounge areas overlooking Glenwood South. The Solas ambiance is perfect for all your needs, from a first date to a business dinner in our private dining room to a relaxing evening with cocktails and champagne on the rooftop.Continued

"Celebrated my 46th Birthday at Solas and had an awesome time! The food was outstanding and all 13 of my guests devoured their dishes without a morsel left on their plate. I will definitely dine there again. In addition, the management staff was very accomodating by allowing my party to alter seating arrangements at the last minute. The only negative I have is that our waiter seemed disengaged and uninterested in providing great service; however, our beverage server made up for that. I didn't get his name but he was phenomenal!"

"Exquisit new find, Solas has the food, ambiance, and service to be one of the best fine dining restaurants in Raleigh. The balance of flavors, variety of tasty offerrings, and attention to presentation create an evening of enjoyment for all to enjoy.

Chef Hicks explained that many of the choices were his unique creations and all were delicious and tasty enough to savor each dish. We will be returning soon with friends soon."

"I have been to Solas before with just my partner and I and had an amazing experience but when booking for a large group it wasn't a good experience. Also my food was so hot and no one warned me and my mouth is still burned severely."
