   Solea is a special place for my family. We have dined at Solea many times over the last 10 years and always leave happy. The food is delicious and the service is the very best.

   Solea offers great options if you are vegetarian. I love that they have a meatless Paella and it didn’t disappoint.

   7 of us had dinner at Solea. The food was good, just not very authentic. The flavors were just a bit off. The drinks were very good. Not very good value for money. There are several better options in Waltham.

   If you enjoy Spanish Tapas, this is clearly your go to place. They offer a huge variety of well prepared traditional dishes, perfectly cooked to order. Service is attentive and the setting is excellent.

   After traveling all over, I found my favorite Spanish Tapas bar. Solea had options for my vegetarian friends and lots of seafood option. Petra was phenomenal and provided great service. The oceano paella is to die for, especially the flavorful rice at the bottom(my wife scraped off it clean). Definitely a must try!

   We had a terrific lunch here. Six tapas was more than enough food for the two of us and they were all delicious. The server was delightful.

    Unfortunately, my experience last night was far from perfect. We made a reservation for 8:30 PM for a Valentine’s Day dinner. We waited for almost an hour. The line in front of the reception was chaotic, and we were not given any heads up about the delays. The food last night also felt rushed. One of The meals felt like it was warmed up, and it was still cold inside.

    Fima, I am sincerely sorry, with last minute call outs. We dropped the ball big time and hopefully will get a chance to make it up. Our tables are expected to be there for 60 minutes, but our guests had occupied over 120 minutes which caused delay. This is no excuse and I sincerely apologize. Please give us a chance to make it up to you! Sincerely, Management
