The food is good, the atmosphere is great, but the prices are way too high! Two people, a single taco and two margaritas each, $100!

Highly recommended! I was here on Thursday, April 4, everything was great from the beginning, staff was very welcoming and were always making sure we were ok. Manager Karen was also very wonderful she made sure we were ok. It was our first time here and Karen was very helpful giving us some recommendations, to which I’m glad she did. Food was delicious. Thank you and highly recommend this place we are very happy with our visit.

Although a tad loud, the restaurant makes up for this issue in overall ambiance by having great food, service, and a nice harbor view. Parking is limited, valet is on site.

Visited Sol fora birthday dinner Since my last visit was a 5 star, I was looking so forward to try a different dish. This time I went with the short rib barbacoa. The food arrived promptly but on all honesty I cannot give it more than 3 stars. The portion was great but approximately 60% of my short rib was pure fat and not edible. The taste was ok but in my opinion could use a kick. My wife ordered carnitas which she also ordered last time and it was a solid choice. Overall a bit underwhelmed but maybe my expectation was too high. I was so surprised that the restaurant was not packed on Easter Sunday.

Great service coupled with tasty dishes made for a great night. Cocktails were perfect and priced well. Great seats and view on the marina. I had the shrimp Caesar salad. The salad portion was great, however I was surprised the shrimp was so spicy. I could not eat shrimp they were so hot. Spice was not mentioned on the menu. All other food was delicious.

They took about 1 hour to serve the food and what we order didn't have it and the tequila I wanted Don Julio Real didn't have it either and they substituted some of the ingredients .will not go back there if you're going to sale a 5 dollar taco at least make the taco look

Food was ok. Nothing special. Waiter was good. Hostess was snooty and condescending. She knocked over someone's drink that was under the desk and spent five minutes complaining about it and trying to find out who left the drink there rather than just dealing with it and moving on, keeping guests waiting and tying up three other staff members while she over-dramatized the whole thing. I should have left then. But I was glad to have finally tried the restaurant. It had been recommended to me. It was nice to see the boats outside the window. I probably won't bother to go back.

Great food and some very creative variations on what you might think is a pedestrian choice. I've never been disappointed. Great service and a great location.

Our food took a really long time. And by the time I got my dish I could tell it was just sitting out too long. It was lukewarm and they forgot my 3eggs ontop so by the time they brought my eggs I was done with the first part of my dish (papi papas). I was disappointed.

Great ambiance, service is on par.The quality of the food is great, but there is something missing, prefer the kitchen of an other establishment.

Went to Sol on a very busy Thursday night and sat in the bar. Service was top notch and food came out extremely fast. Their chips are served with whole corn tortillas which is interesting but they were great. Black bean dip is a great touch. I got the carne asada burrito wet in red sauce. Taste was great but a little heavy on the black beans! Vibes were excellent. Would come back for sure

Food was great. Service was horrible. Restaurant is still open, people eating and you see workers cleaning the floor. You should respect your customers and clean when the restaurant is closed.

the restaurant has a great aesthetic and the chips/salsa appetizer was the best i've ever had at any restaurant in general. we went to SOL for a special birthday occasion and the accommodation was exemplary. everything was incredibly worth it for the value. i would definitely recommend visiting for any occasion.
