    Outstanding service. Very good food. A little pricey. Ambience is great, but a little dark and loud for some tastes. Overall tremendous place. Would highly it.

    We've dined at Solea many times over the past years, so we know what we are going to get. However, we haven't been there on a night like Valentine's Day night. Jam-packed is the only way to describe it. Fortunately we had an early reservation for our party of four. I think that the staff did the best they could given the volume of diners with the attendant noise of a full house. The food was as good as always although the pacing of the dishes was a bit erratic as I'm sure the kitchen was overwhelmed. Everything arriving at the table was at the right temperature and prepared well with the servers trying to keep up. I think we'll pick a less popular night to dine out next time.

    The food is some of the best I’ve ever had. The BLT— you wouldn’t expect that mix of flavors— is unbelievable, 100/10. The tuna tostada is so delicious that we had to order more because we couldn’t get enough. The shrimp baos are amazing, and the drinks are great. Super fun vibe! Prices are excellent. Now I know why everybody is talking about Little Donkey.
