The food was pretty good, and the service was outstanding. But it was so loud we couldn't talk, and so dark I needed my cell flashlight to read the menu. I would not come back on a Friday night, but maybe another day or time.

Multiple errors with order. Silverware had to be requested multiple times. The service is always terrible. We love the food but the service will probably prevent us from coming back. It takes multiple requests to have anything done. One of our orders was wrong two times in a row. I don’t know how.

It was a different experience. We ordered six drinks; all six had to be adjusted. We ordered appetizers, and when some were served, we were advised that other items were not available (this should have been stated when ordered or soon thereafter). The entrees available were 'so so',not exactly good. If we returned, it would be for drinks and appetizers only.

I enjoy dining here regularly. The menu is clearly presented with a touch of the eclectic. Service is always good. Drinks are delicious, if a bit expensive. Patio has heaters. Music is upbeat. It's not pop (yay!) Love the vibe. I will be back.

Great food. Drinks are good. And music was good. The only thing is the service fee they charge u to help with the wage increase. Why is the customer responsible for paying your employees?

Arrived 15 minutes early for our 8:30pm reservation and was not sat until 8:50pm. The food was ‘ok’ at best. I had the grilled sea bass, my partner had the Wagyu steak. Overall, easy access as we live across the street but I would not got out of my way to eat here. Our server was very nice.

My dinner mates and I all commented on the fact that SOL's floors seemed rather ... slippery. Greasy? Our table kept sliding. Our feet ditto. I think they might need to figure out a cleaning substance that tends to that. Also, I wish the restaurant had had some local beers on tap. That said, we enjoyed our food.

Service was excellent but we were seated right behind guitar singer so it was a bit too loud for us. He was very good though, just he really needs to be where there is no one seated behind him. Good food overall, but my taco was a bit greasy though. I think I will go back regardless. It's a good place to eat and I still recommend it.
