Fine experience @ Solera – Six of us went to Solera for dinner before a show at the State Theater. None of us had been here before. Our waiter was very helpful, patient and had a good sense of humor. He took time to explain and recommend, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. He even comped one dessert for a slow-arriving glass of wine without any request - and it wasn't all that slow. I would not recommend Solera if you are looking for meatloaf and mashed potatoes (which I love, btw), but if you are interested in trying... read more
Too great for words – Wow, all of these complaints here and I find none of them to be true. Everytime I go to Solera I have an amazing experience. I highly recommend the food to everyone, service impecable and the ambiance was amazing. Truly one of the best restaurants in the Cities and deserving of its awards. Solera is an amazing restaurant, I have no idea why these people were complaining....
People who don't like it-stick to your hotdish. – I've been to Solera many times and have always enjoyed it. My wife and I have gone with different people everytime and they have all enjoyed it as well. Great for a couple or group of four. The small plate size allows you to experiment and try different things you might not otheriwse try as an entire entree. Casual atmosphere makes for a liesurely meal... the desserts are incredible.
Very Spanish, Great Value – After having traveled in Spain I was very excited to try Solera. We LOVED it. The food was very authentic. As for the value, we found it to be quite reasonable. The portion sizes were larger than we've found at other tapas bars both in the US and in Spain. As for the sangria, we thought it was great. It is $35 for a pitcher, but it's twice as big as you would normally find. We did have to wait about 15 min past our reservation, but it was worth the wait. This restaurant is a great addition to the ... read more
Eat before you go! – I'm so glad I tried Solera with the girls and didn't bring my husband. He would have made us go to another restaurant for dinner, right after "dinner" at Solera! Our server was very good, she helped us choose many good dishes, but they were all so tiny! There were four of us and sometimes we only got half a bite of each. We laughed every time the next round of plates was brought to our table, none of us had every seen such tiny portions! Our bill came to about $30 per person for food and we were all stil... read more
Business response:
Thanks for giving us a try. Next time don't leave if you're not happy! Let your server know. We always want our guests to leave satisfied with the value of their meal. Some of our tapas are smaller sized than others. You should more than full if you spend $30 on food. Our tapas are $2 to $9 each. Most people are satisfied with 3-4 tapas each. We also added Raciones to our menu. They are very substantial servings that could be eaten as an entree or shared. Next time you are in ask for me (Josh Thoma, Co-Owner) and I'll make i... read more
Off night? Food was not good. – I went to Solera tonight on the basis of the previous reviews. It's Wednesday and the place was mostly empty except for two tables and one person at the bar. After eating, I could see why. I ordered 4 plates. The pork ribs were tough, the asparagus lobo was too chewy with oversalted sauce, the scallops with serrano ham was extremely salty to the point of being nearly inedible. The duck with mushrooms was okay. Overall, It's like the cook was using the recipe without knowing the right proportio... read more
Business response:
Just let us know and we'll fix it right away. And yes right after New Years is always a slow time for any restaurant. Thanks for the feedback, Josh
Service and food was outstanding! – My boyfriend and I had been to Solera several years ago for Valentine's Day and loved it! So, for his 30th birthday celebration, he decided he wanted a group of friends to dine together at Solera. Our group was quite large (18+) and had a difficult time deciding how to order. Our server kindly took charge and recommended that the chef choose dishes. The chef did a fabulous job of choosing dishes to suit vegetarians, non-vegetarians, and various food allergies in our group. The service was ... read more
terrible!! – Bad service. Rude service. Bad non- filling food priced way to high.
A Mixed Bag – Great decor. Nice, cozy booths for 2. Small servings for sampling. Drinks a bit pricey. Menu requires food dictionary. OUR EXPERIENCE: God help you if the waitstaff somehow mixes up on who is supposed to be waiting on you! We were left stranded LITERALLY for the first 30 minutes after being seated during our first visit ... no drinks, no server, no "your server with be right with you," no nothing but a busboy who poured water. Before storming out, I complained to the manger, and things could only improve from t... read more
Business response:
Thank you for saying something to a manager. When ever we fall short (or totally screw up in this case) we always want to hear about it. This was a case of poor communication between our host and serving staff. We've since implemented a better system to ensure it does not happen again. I'm happy to hear that the rest of your experience was enjoyable. Please ask for me personally when you come in. Yours truly, Josh Thoma -Owner
