2 months agoPleasantly surprised by our dining experience Solo. We were a party of five and everyone's starter, mains and dessert did not disappoint. Great atmosphere, with just mild irritation caused by the loud music, which was thankfully brought down a notch. Requested to have some chilli added to the chicken (mains) and the chef obliged and it was fantastic - tender, not too hot and very tasty. Lamb was great, beef fillet made exactly to order, served with very good risotto (creamy, dreamy yum). One of the best pannacottas we've tasted. Pity the brownie was so tiny - (literally size of my thumb ) , but the whole chocolate dome dessert was very good, accompanied by the ice cream. Not sure about location, especially during weekends nights - not too much going on in that Centre.

2 months agoWent there for a friend’s birthday and was unimpressed. The waiter got our orders wrong. As someone that doesn’t eat red meat received a beef burger instead of chicken. The waiter rarely checked up on us. The food was horrible my burger upon being corrected had a tiny piece of chicken and was basically just a piece of lettuce and sauces. Would not recommend.

4 months agoI had a great time experience overall. The service from he waitress who served my friend and I was superb! My only complaint is that my main course was on the lukewarm side - and since it we're right in the thick of winter - lukewarm food actually tastes cold. We were seated at a low table because tables had been fully booked making it tricky to pick food from my plate unfortunately. However throughout the entire duration of our evening at Solo, better tables remained vacant. The service, the experience and the ambiance more than made up for my cold-ish food indeed :)

6 months agoAlthough there was a bit of construction happening at the time we went to the place and the restaurant itself was busy, i must say that the interior design was pot tier✔️ the music and sound was very good and had us dancing off the night. What had started as a normal birthday outing amongst friends soon turned out to be a fun night out in the town! Food was absolutely everything and more!!!

3 months agoThe place looks good. Loved their wine cellar and it kind of game me ideas for mine too The food however was not breathtaking or anything to write home about. It was just ok. Maybe I went there expecting more…
