    Overall we had a nice evening meal at Bar Solita. We were early and had drinks at the bar which were very good. Once seated our wait person was excellent. Food selections although limited were very good. Appetizers came out in a reasonable amount of time. Main complaint was that the time for the main courses to arrive was very long...nearly an hour after we ordered.
    Bar SolitaResponded on May 11, 2025
    Hey Russell, Thanks for dining at Bar Solita and for taking the time to share your experience. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your drinks at the bar and that our service team made your experience enjoyable. We appreciate your feedback about the main course's delay and we're always looking for ways to improve. We're glad to know that our appetizers and food selections were up to your liking. This weekend was a bit of an anomaly with graduation and a holiday happening concurrently. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again soon to present a 5 star experience.

    We were traveling and picked this restaurant last minute. The reviews helped us decide. We enjoyed it as a casual, fun place to have a good dinner. The hanger steak was good as was the snack board and fried zucchini. Its popularity was reflected in the large number of people who also chose to dine. It's worth checking out.

    I ate with my brunch group on a Sunday mid-day. From the moment we walked in to the server who kept us well taken care of to the hot food and the awesome cocktails. My experience was nothing short of delightful. We drove over an hour to visit and we will definitely return.

    Food came out cold and service was really slow. They said they were busy but the restaurant didn’t seem That full and by the time our food came out it was obviously sitting out a while

    We had a lovely birthday celebration at Bar Solita. The food was prepared well, the wait staff attentive but not intrusive, and our table of 6 enjoyed conversation without being drowned out by music or other conversation. We had fun sharing the meat and cheese board - including spicy mustard and tasty peach jam. We enjoyed several tapas plates (do not recommend the scallops), a few pasta entrees, and also sandwiches. All of our food was served in a timely fashion at the proper temperature. We rate this a very successful dinner.
