Excellent food and views in an upscale building.

Some of the best food in the area, paired with excellent service and truly incredible specials. The blueberry mojito was a standout. The new location is especially beautiful at sunset. The chef is fantastic, and the overall vibe is full of great energy—warm, lively, and welcoming.

Our first, but most assuredly not our last, visit. We were seated next to the window overlooking a foggy waterfront. To say the “Sole” is upscale bar does not truly describe the food and atmosphere. Our server, Eleanor, was very polite and efficient! The tuna crudo appetizer was absolutely delicious (perhaps the best sushi tuna we’ve ever eaten!)!! The smash burger and fish tacos entrees were generous and delicious! Congrats to Chef Florin (sp?) and the owners for hitting a home run and creating a must stop establishment.

I’ve been going here every time I visit Maine for the last 5 years. They’ve got creative, delicious food and drinks, in a really nice location. The view is amazing. Definitely worth going at least once, if not more.

Perfect in every way! Delicious food, great views & excellent location! We live in Boothbay and enjoy exploring happenings in the neighbor peninsulas. We had a delightful experience at Sole, staff was attentive and the food divine! My wife and I also appreciated the interior design and airy feel of the space throughout. Keep up the good work folks at the Contented!!!

We had a wonderful time and it was a beautiful day to sit outside. The food was delicious and the waiter was very kind and helpful. I have to be gluten free and the waiter was very knowledgeable and if didn't know he checked with the food preparer. I'm not a fan of gf buns but this one was great. We definitely will be back.

Pizza that we got didn't have many toppings and was mostly bread. Lobster roll was delicious. When we arrived they were short staffed so it was quite a long wait to even get our drink order.

A lovely setting delicious food and great service. What more can you ask for? We stopped by for lunch after a hike at the nearby LaVerna sanctuary. We had the light and crispy fish& chips and a poke bowl with fresh raw salmon and tuna, on a bed soba noodles seasoned with vegetables and light sauce. We shared a delicious coconut cheesecake with caramel sauce. wow! We will definitely be back. Donna, our server was very pleasant and helpful.
They might want to think about having a little bit more signage and perhaps a bigger sign letting people know that they need to go down the stairs to the restaurant.

First time at the new location. The food is just as good, I will always love the fish tacos. The new location in a converted church is also very nice. It’s a great place if you can get in past the host. Made a reservation online? Made one over the phone? Just a couple who walked in? She will sigh and act like doing her job is the biggest inconvenience of her long life. We saw her put on this act for everyone who came in. She was either having a very bad day or missed her calling by a nautical mile. It’s a shame because every other staff member we spoke to was incredibly polite and personable.

Parking: Former church, so it has a surprisingly large parking lot for the area.

Kid-friendliness: The serving/kitchen staff(again, not the host, she ignored the little girl who needed a highchair) were very accommodating for a family with two little kids across the restaurant.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator for wheelchair users to access the second floor where the restaurant is located.
