    Our server was so nice and attentive and I feel bad for not getting their name. I wasn’t too impressed with my falafel and salad but my friends pizza was delicious. Will be back to try some other options and to get some cocktails.

    The food was fine, the service was fine but nothing special. Our server took a while to get to us initially, but after our order was taken she was attentive enough- but I wouldn't say she was overly friendly. I think our reservation must have been after a rush- we were seated alone in a loft area and almost every surrounding table needed to be cleaned off so that wasn't very appealing. Our water glasses were dirty, we didn't mention is it seeing as so much else was going on but we didn't drink from them. The food was fine, the coffee was excellent.

    Atmosphere was great. Decor is great. Service was a bit rough. They were clearly understaffed. 3/4 adults got their food on time. They completely forgot one of us. We’ve had steak during brunch and dinner. Both were equally bad. A single Old Fashioned was $20. They had a “shortage of high chairs” even though we had a reservation and a note on the reservation for 2 high chairs. We ended up in a 4 top booth with no room for booster seats or elbows. Never got water refills. This place has potential but it needs better management to be run to its full potential. And someone please teach the chef how to make a steak.

    It's a fun restaurant, just very loud. We were seated upstairs, and were very pleased with our server and with our food. The server misheard my drink order, and got something I didn't order, it had taken so long to get our drinks that I didn't bother sending it back and just drank it. This is the second time I have been to Bar Solita where the Bar was backed up and having trouble keeping up with orders. I will definitely be back, but probably not for a little while.

    We had drinks and starters before attending a concert. Our table ordered muscles, birria egg-rolls, baked feta and wings. The muscles were the favorite. We had drinks off the craft cocktail list. No one complained.😄 The atmosphere was fun and the service was excellent.

    Open table menu is completely inaccurate. Went to celebrate hubbys promotion. Choose this place based on spicy edemame and shrimp and grits. They have neither. Waitress was nice. Place was loud. We got Brussels that were ok and left. Disappointed that nothing we wanted was on the actual menu at the restaurant!

    Bar SolitaResponded on March 6, 2023Hey friend, I am so sorry the menus on opentable aren't accurate! We gave them our website link when we signed up with them and assumed (incorrectly) it would update when our website did- apparently not. We have resubmitted the link again and made a plan internally to make sure that all website changes also get submitted to opentable. We're really sorry for the trouble this caused and hope you can come back next time and find a better experience and more accurate menu. Thanks for the feedback!

    I ordered the salmon doubles. The burger was good, but I would have preferred an actual salmon bite instead of the fried salmon cake with filling. The drinks were tasty and service was excellent. I will be back.

    The brunch had delicious food options. I had the breakfast pizza and two people in our party had the spicy biscuits and gravy. We all enjoyed our food a lot. The service was really slow and we wouldn't have minded seeing our waitress an additional time or two to order an additional drink and get refills. It was busy and we did understand that. It gives a fun vibe, but be aware that it is very loud as well if you are looking for a place that is a little more low key with noise. We were able to still talk and hear one another at our table, but the music was definitely very loud and there were lots of people all around talking. Overall, we will return for more food because it was delicious.

    Upon arrival, it took a while to be acknowledged. I had to walk down to the far end of the bar where other employees were standing to request assistance. Once we received seating, it was uphill from there. Our waiter Ben was phenomenal!

    Heard a lot about this restaurant so we came for brunch. Not sure what happened to my biscuit but I couldn't cut through one of them. The beautiful cinnamon bun dried out before brunch was over. My wife's hot honey chicken was great. My spicy sausage and gravy was average. Out pitcher of mimosas came with 25% ice, never hears of ice in a mimosa so we were perplexed. Our server was ok but at the end she did listen to the food issue. Been in the business for 40 years, maybe a below average day as I have heard a lot of good things about it.

    We had a 7:15 reservation. First round of drinks came about 15 min after ordering. Apps came fairly quickly. Salad was dry and zucchini was great. We didn’t get our entrees until 9pm. The ribeye was okay but the pancetta chicken pasta which was completely dry and under cooked. I requested extra Alfredo to try and salvage it. It was brought to me ice cold. I asked that it be taken off our ticket as it was inedible. The server was nice and offered to comp it and a manager took half off apps. Didn’t leave until almost 10 pm dissatisfied and still hungry. Not impressed at all.
