   Sol Mar is an authentic Portuguese restaurant, as expected it was a crowded venue since it was Mother's Day - I had made a reservation weeks ahead - upon arriving lines were outside the door - when I tried to determine where we should go if we had reservations - staff were not helpful. I had been at the front told to go to the side entrance, to be told go to the front entrance. I took a moment for us to confirm we were in the reservation line , however my group of 7 were seated - We were not ready with our drink order when initially approached, so to get the servers interest again took a moment. The food is generally well prepared and portions are generous - the two pictures of Sangria (70$) were not impressive - more like a fruit punch than a hearty Sangria. Although not completely disappointed, I probably won't visit again but that shouldn't stop you

   We had a party of four on a Friday night prior to Mother's Day on Sunday and everyone enjoyed their meal. Salmon, red snapper, sea bass and mixed seafood were our entrees with a pitcher of tasty Sangria. The restaurant is easy to find and there is parking across the street. We would enjoy coming back during the summer to sit at the outdoor seating. It was too cold on the night we went to dine to sit outside. A very enjoyable evening and experience. I highly recommend.

   This is one of our parent's favorite places. Now I understand why. The food is always fresh and delicious and the prices are reasonable. Plus the staff is very accommodating, pleasant and never pushy trying to turn tables as other restaurants.

   So very disappointed that I made reservations for Saturday night and they didn't have Catalpana de Marisco as advertised. They advertise it as the "STAR" of the seafood festival but it's not even on the menu. I asked the waiter and he said it was too difficult for the kitchen to prepare. I went to this restaurant specifically for that meal, why even advertise it?

   Great food. Slow service with my table. Had to ask for the same thing 3-4 times as they kept forgetting to bring it to the table. Could have been a better experience but food was great.

    Great service and terrific food. Just a bit out of the way from the train station.
