Southdowns Grille Reviews
I enjoyed everything I had at Solera!
Excellent tapas menu & wine pairings. Impeccable service!
I went with a couple of friends, and we loved everything we tried! We had the patatas bravas, gambas, piquillo, lobster, beef tenderloin, and cheesecake. Everything was absolutely delicious—we couldn’t decide on a favorite. I also highly recommend the Garden District cocktail.
