    When I ordered my wine bye the glass there where three prices for my Chardonnay but wasn’t aware of the three pieces for example 15 /29/108 ? I asked for the Chardonnay by the glass but I assumed I got the fifteen dollar glass and I ordered two glasses so I assumed it was going to cost me $30.00 for two glasses but instead I was charged for $58.00 if I new that I would bought a bottle for that price wish the waiter would of explained better and when I approached him he said my bad but instead should of reduce price?? So be aware when you order wine bye the glass and ask questions caused they should have explain better too! Food was great but server was okay!

    This is my second time dining at Solare, and I was very disappointed in the service. I had a great experience the first time and decided to bring my six year old this time to celebrate Mother's Day. We ordered bread as an appetizer, but my son's kids meal came out before the bread. I asked for bread again, and then it was brought over. But my son was done eating before the other entrees arrived, which anyone with kids knows is disastrous. There's no way we can enjoy a meal when a six year old is done with theirs and anxious to leave the table. We also had to ask twice for Parmesan cheese after my son's food was arrived. I won't be in a hurry to eat here again anytime soon.

    I can’t help but think that we either got the 2nd or 3rd-string staff because we were there on Mother’s Day or those working were either flat out incompetent or didn’t care. What a terrible experience for a place with 4-stars! I can’t remember being this disappointed after looking so forward to eating here for the first time. Without a doubt, a Mother’s Day experience filled with memories that we won’t forget. Thanks for doing nothing to make our family day and occasion special.

    Food was good and portions large. Service was a little slow; one member of the party ordered coffee; it was cold when it arrived and we had to wait a long time before we could catch a busboy to get a hot cup. Had difficulty finding a server when it was time to pay, too.

    First time back here in years. Went with a group of 8 to celebrate a birthday. Honestly it was so warm in the restaurant that several of us were actually sweating. The hostess said the AC was on and was directed at the table but the only cool air we felt was when we finally opened a window. Our waiter was adequate but lacked energy, probably because it was so hot. We ate and got out of there instead of lingering and having more drinks and dessert.
