This was my first time eating at Sole, and I was not disappointed.
Everything was superb, and the portions were large enough to be satisfying. I never thought I would order a sandwich for dinner in a nice restaurant, but it was exceptional.
Service was a touch slow, especially waiting to pay, but we weren't in a rush. The server was pleasant and professional.
More expensive than my average meal out, but great for an occasional treat.
After reading some of the reviews on the website, I was expecting a decent meal. I had to send my entre back because it was luke warm. No water was offered....I asked for water with lemon and got it, but no one else at our table was received it, so they had to ask later....then it arrived without the lemon as requested. We received four little pieces of bread, with dipping oil. The wooden chairs are as hard as a rock....I had to stand up near the end of the meal to get the kinks out .
At first everything was fine. The waiter seemed ok at first, but very busy. We started with drinks, which we ordered, but my son-in-law didn't receive the beer he ordered. He finally got it about half way through his supper. The steak i ordered first came to me almost alive. I ordered medium,but this is way to rare for me. They took it to the chef and had him cook it some more, which was better, but by that time i was off my desire to eat.
i know i gave a great review earlier this year, but unfortunately this is the last time i will go here again. I think a place that charges the prices that they charge that everything should be top notch.
they didn't charge me for the steak, but by that time the damage had been done. Sorry! But i will go back again.
The food was divine, the outdoor patio on a sunny day was just heavenly and our server was prompt, professional and coureous.
The meals were perfectly prepared and our desserts were simply out of this world. Highly recommended!
The only negative comment I could make would be that the olive oil dip for the bread did not taste very good. Otherwise, fantasitic. We'll be back.
Food: The Chicken Briquettes were fantastic. I don't really like coconut, but I loved this one. It was superb. However, I really needed about double the mango salsa they gave me. It really wasn't enough. Nonetheless excellent.
The sweet potato lasagnia surprised me. I'm a huge meat-eater and I rarely order vegetarian dishes. I took a risk and was pleasantly surprised. The dish was very interesting with a variety of cheeses and mushrooms. They replaced the pasta with sweet potato. Unfortunately, it was very "same" throughout. By the time I got half way, the novelty had warn off, and I was just tired of it. They should have put a side dish, a salad, anything... to give a bit of variety.
Service: Our waitress seemed like it was her first day or something. She didn't know the specials and read them off her notebook. She was very very shy. You had to pry information out of her. She spoke very very softly. I'm sure she is not the standard.
Other: The place was very nice. The average age was about 20-30 years older than we were. But not a problem. The jazz music was lovely.
I really enjoyed it.
