    Came in again for a late snack. Ended up getting tempted by all the good looking food we were seeing, so we ordered a bottle of wine and split up a fried chicken entree. Wow was it good! Juicy and fried to perfection and the collards were delicious. Highly recommended. And as always, Chelsea served it all up like a pro. See y'all next time.

    Another wonderful "date night" at Solstice! We shared the fried green tomato appetizer, I had the tuna poke and brussel sprouts and my husband had the pork special. It was all delicious and our wonderful server, Renee, was so helpful.

    we came in for a light snack and a bottle of wine on Friday night. Lovely date night. Best part of the evening was the excellent service from Chelsea. She always takes great care of us.

    We were celebrating my son’s 31st birthday and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Solstice. He mentioned that he would like an individual cup of applesauce for dessert with his Disaranno. Our waitress, Britney, har a staff member go next door to purchase a six pack of applesauce for his dessert. The remaining 5 individual cups were sent home with my son. This is an example of exemplary service. Many, many THANKS to the staff, management and customers at Solstice for such a fun night.
