An organization I’m a part of rented this place out for an event and to say I’m appalled is an understatement. The line for the women’s bathroom was extremely long, and there was no one in the men’s so a couple friends and I went into the men’s restroom. I understand if this is not appropriate and not allowed, but the reaction from the staff was truly disgusting. They immediately started cussing us out and saying racial slurs repeatedly. It made me so uncomfortable I was brought to tears. Obviously, I am happy to comply with rules given by staff, but when they are portrayed in such an ugly manner I’m left with no choice but to leave a review like this. It’s 2025. Do better.

I tried to eat here for dinner tonight. I even made a reservation via Open Table. I checked into the hotel and asked where the restaurant was. I was told it closed a month ago by the guest services staff. I guess it's still an option for breakfast. Open Table needs to update their reservation system. It was also ironic that the hotel elevators still have signage for dinner at Sol. I wonder if Open Table will ask me for a review?

Very nice Asian Fusion Restaurant albeit with limited menu choices. Took way too long to get my WonTon soup and the braised pork shank was good, but not great. The prices are reasonable though and the availability at the hotel was great.

Jr. Is the best in this establishment. He has amazing service and outstanding customer support. Great suggestions on the menu.

Hotel Breakfast Buffet. Almost $30 per person. Absolutely unreal price for a really very average buffet. Most items were luke warm, a very limited selection, stale pastry. There were no bowls available anywhere for cereal/oatmeal.One of the most expensive meals we had during our trip. Really unimpressed. We'd return to the hotel but skip the breakfast every time.

Breakfast buffet neglected. Oatmeal like cement. Ordered off the menu. Crazy expensive. Ran right to the bathroom. Server was very nice and respectful.

Offered to order from both bar & Sol menu however a lot of the same offerings and the Charcuterie board was very small.

The food and service are fine. The business itself is quite shady. They give you one price on the menu, say $29. Then, when you go to pay they slap a $2 "service charge". This charge is NOT a tip, (although people probably see it and tip less). It goes directly to the business owner.Here is an idea, if you need to raise prices, just raise prices. Stop scamming your customers and de facto stealing tips from your hardworking employees.

Juan is the best bartender and server. He made us the most delicious and inventive cocktails, each one was 10/10. We enjoyed food and drinks many times over our weekend trip, and would have gone back if we had more time. Thank you, Juan!

Juan was our bartender and waiter. I will come here every time I’m in LA!!! The food and atmosphere are amazing. Service was exceptional. I travel for work and can honestly say this restaurant is exceptional every one should
Food was awesome and the service was even better! I would recommend try a cocktail with the fresh guava juice.

On this occasion, we returned to SOL for Sunday brunch. The food, drinks, and vibe were great, and we once again received the excellent customer service we've come to ♥ (and expect) from the whole crew. Thanks again to Luis, the hostesses, the bar crew, and to everyone!

I had the most delicious dinner at SOL recently, located inside of the Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina hotel. Our group of 4 tried a variety of cocktails and food items, and everything was superb. Some highlights were the Pork Risotto, the Honey Walnut Shrimp, and the Beef Spare Ribs. On the lighter side, the Ahi Tuna Tartare was outstanding. The restaurant itself is beautiful and spacious, with lots of natural light and great views of the ocean and harbor. We started with drinks on the outdoor patio, around a fire pit (so cozy), and then moved inside for dinner. I want to give a special shout-out as well to Juan, who was both our bartender and server for the evening. He made the BEST drinks and was just a delightful human all around. Next time you're in the area, or if you're staying at the hotel, I highly recommend giving this new restaurant a try!
Natasha's birthday brunch at SOL was nice, so we returned for dinner. This time, we sat outside and enjoyed a nice dinner overlooking the marina. Thanks, once more, to all of you for a great overall experience! ?? ? ?
