Solea Restaurant and Tapas BarGreat Mother's Day Lunch!I took my parents here for Mother's day, and both the service and food were excellent. There was heavy traffic on the way in, and my parents were 15 minutes late. The restaurant was not concerned and were completely accommodating, even on the holiday. We then spent nearly two hours eating, and we were never rushed. The food was fantastic - I will most definitely go back! Thank you!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous venue and food!!!!Very attentive staff. Delicious menu. Will be back again,5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMSolea- Pricey but Very NiceSolea is a lovely tapas restaurant with an atmosphere that is both warm and elegant. The first time we ate at this restaurant was to celebrate my daughter's college graduation, and it was the perfect place for this special occasion. We recently returned when we were in the area on Mother's Day. The food and service are excellent. My only criticism would be that I have been to several other tapas restaurants with equally enjoyable menu selections at a fraction of the price. At $9 to $10 per item, the bill runs up quickly - the waitress suggested 2 to 3 selections per person (the plates are quite small) and we found that 2 per person was not enough. If you don't mind overpaying a bit - Solea is an excellent choice for a special dinner.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat tapasEnjoyed the variety of tapas. All very good. Nice wine list and the service also great. Didn't feel rushed. Would be a bit more relaxing if the noise level was lower but it was a busy Saturday night with several events in town.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing food and sangria!!Amazing food and sangria!!

I love the small plates that allow you to sample many dishes with friends without filling up too much. The food was well prepared, beautifully presented and delicious. The restaurant is larger than it looks and has moderate noise level. Not great for a romantic date but good for going out and catching up with friends.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was Excellent, ServiceFood was Excellent, Service was Excellent. Wait time was long but it was busy. They made up for the wait.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMDifferent experience than everyday.Always loved Solea. We used to live in Waltham when it opened and have since moved 40+ minutes away. We went back to celebrate my husbands birthday. ... now with children. There is no kids menu but my 8 year old liked the steak and some of the paella. My five year old enjoyed shrimp and bread. Us adults enjoyed everything from the almonds to the Sangria. We always liked the sausage with fig sauce which proved again to be a winner and the short rib (yum) tasted as if it was slow roasting all day. The paella I thought was underwhelming, but overall a very good experience. I guess it is different when you are bringing children along and going earlier in the evening on a Tuesday, lol. The bar area looks very trendy and colorful and welcoming!4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always, the food here isAs always, the food here is amazing with a wide variety of different flavor profiles. The tapas are good sized, some are almost big enough to be entries. I would recommend 4-6 people go as a group so they can try a variety of dishes.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMMy favorite restaurant.

Skip dessert. Tres leches wasn't good at all. Not light cake as it should be.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was restaurant week, soIt was restaurant week, so I was unable to get a reservation for my ideal time, but my date and I both chose the fixed price 4-course meal. It included a tiny "one bite" sandwich, soup or salad, 3 tapas plates and a dessert each. The small sandwich was really flavorful. The salad was pretty ordinary and I only ate a few bites. My date and I ordered 3 tapas dishes each... All different, and we shared. The bedt dish was the duck with berry sauce. We also got, baked goat cheese, calimari, mussels, and quail. The dessert choices wrre flan or an amazing chocolate cake. There was so much food, both of us became full midway through and he brought the mussels home. A nice night!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was a fun evening. I reallyIt was a fun evening. I really recommend it.
