    We've been here many times and the food never disappoints. It's definitely not typical Mexican; though they have tacos and enchiladas, they have pretty gourmet takes on those and other items. Our food this time was really good and well prepared. I had the salmon, which was nicely done and had nice veggies with it. Service was especially good this time. I have been here a few times in the past when the staff was a little stiff, but this time they were all very friendly and helpful. It's a great place for a special occasion.

    We recently had the pleasure of dining at Solare and it was an unforgettable experience. This Michelin-rated Italian restaurant perfectly balances authenticity, quality, and charm. There is a warm and inviting atmosphere with soft lighting and thoughtful details that make the space feel intimate and cozy. The food is outstanding. High quality ingredients are used create authentic Italian flavors. Seafood is locally sourced and the pasta is handmade. We really enjoyed the unique dessert dishes as well. The owner personally greeted us and shared stories about the inspiration behind the dishes, adding a personal touch that made us feel like honored guests. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely friendly. If you’re looking for an Italian dining experience that combines exceptional food, a welcoming ambiance, and heartfelt hospitality, Solare is a must visit.
