   We had a wonderful dinner here. Sat at the Chef’s Table and watched Temo and Luis cook and they were fantastic. The staff here is very helpful and help each other out.

   I don't get to come to Solare very often, but the food is wonderful every time. This time was lunch with a friend, my treat. We shared a Caesar salad, the fabulous risotto with scallops, panna cotta, and hot tea. It was all delicious. The disappointment was the service. It's usually stellar here. However, this server was inattentive and forgetful. My friend is gluten free, so we had questions up front about available choices . We sat for quite a while with no one approaching us beyond offering water. We had to ask a busser to get our server. The server hemmed and hawed about what was gluten-free, didn't mention the specials, forgot drink orders... Perhaps he was new or on probation? Not an excuse, but maybe an explanation. One other service note: When the waiter knows diners are sharing a dish, it should arrive with a serving spoon! None was provided until we asked, even for the risotto -- though they brought extra plates without prompting. We were finally given a small soup spoon, which we had to send back with a request for something larger. Pretty silly in a quality restaurant like Solare.

   Amazing! The food was amazing, everything we ordered. The staff was attentive and very friendly. A little loud with airplanes but it entertained my toddlers very much!

   Just delicious with huge wine selection. I’ve been twice in a week and want to go back soon! I had the ravioli and my husband had pizza, both excellent. On a separate visit my friend and I had wine and charcuterie only, which was perfect. Great service too.
