We will be back again - and I hope it's soon!! – Wonderful service, wonderful atmosphere, friendly people, great food, reasonable prices in my book. Amazing menu offered choices for everyone in our party, from age 7 on up. It was great to try a bunch of different quite exotic dishes and I can definately see returning again to try some others. We were all full with food leftover with a total cost of $20/person including some shared desserts and some wine - in my book, about the same we could have spent getting chain food else... read more

Innovative and delicious tapas – We have been frequenting Solera for about a year. We are thoroughly addicted to the Sobrasada and anything with honey and cheese. We have always had good service there, but it is not the type of restaurant nor the type of food where you will be hovered over. Water is typically always full, the food comes quickly, yummy and hot, and the Berry Cuban (sort of like a Mojito) is amazing! The pace will be slower and the space quieter on a weeknight rather than on a Friday or Saturday night - and th... read more

Awesome Atmosphere complimented with great food! – I was so excited to learn about Solera. While vacationing in Spain I found this great little restaurant/bar called Solero, so I absolutely had to check out this place here in the States! I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is beautiful and the menu is delicious. Service is excellent as well. The crowd in there has always been fun and friendly. Great for an intimate meal or a group! 

Business response:

Hope to see you again soon. Josh

Exceptional food, great atmosphere, get the two hearted ale – I was excited to try Solera after reading reviews on this sight. I was afraid of "snooty". I hate snooty! Got there at 5 on Friday night. Our res. was for 5:30 but we got to town early. Three smiling lovelies greeted us as we came in and offered to show us right to our table. Our server was helpful and friendly. The food was really fine. Couldn't find anything to complain about. Scallops were sauteed perfectly golden and very tender throughout, the duck . . . oh t... read more

Wonderful change of pace!! – I love Solera. I've probably been there 10 times and had a great experience every time. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that it offers something DIFFERENT. Although I have so many tappas favorites on the menu, I always try something new every time I visit. Don't miss the fabulous drinks and dessert. I enjoy the innovative tappas creations and am always surprised to find myself full after every meal. I also love the sharing aspect and getting to taste so many things in one meal. If you ... read more

Delicious!!! Wonderful Roof-top Patio!!! – One of the best happy hour in downtown! (But- its only available at the bar.) The tapas are fantastic (but expensive if you go any other time than happy hour). Great vibes and service. Will come back again and again!!!

Fine cuisine and excellent value (this is not an Applebee's!) – My boyfriend and I have been to Solera a half a dozen times since it opened. Despite what some people have said on this site, this restaurant provides great value and we've had very pleasant each time we've eaten there.. For those who apparently expected Applebee's-sized portions and tab, you must not have done any research (or made a reservation) before you walked up to the hostess to be seated. Generally at most restaurants, making a reservation on busy nights... read more

Awesome food, HORRIBLE service. – We decided to check out Solera for my girlfriend's birthday, 6.26.06. As we walked up to the host stand, I noticed a sneer pass the hostess's lips. She told us that they were only seating for the bar and the roof patio. We went up to the roof bar to see if there was an area in which we could sit and wait for a table to open up. It was not until an older couple came and began standing behind us that she acknowledged our presence. She motioned to some stacked chairs and said that we could prob... read more

Business response:

I sincerely apologise for the terrible service you recieved. I wish you had said something that night to us. I would have at least known who it was. Let me know when you come in again and I'll make it up to you and show you that the service you recived is not typical at Solera. Thanks again, Josh

A little disappointing.... – Heard great reviews on Solera and went there on my birthday. Food was above average but portion size to dollar paid was unacceptable to me. I went with two others and one was fine with the "value" whereas the other was on par with my opinion.
