Solera - Spanish Tapas Restaurant and Bar

Love the vibe, delicious drinks (forgot my dang cherries in my old fashioned though ????). Small plates but very delicious and rich. Too notch service. Maybe a con is just a little bit more variety. Don't expect to get full from the meal, but do expect to excite your palate. Try it out !

Beautiful and clean environment! Food is magnificently delicious! The portions are quite generous even though they are called small plates. Meanwhile, the large plates are big enough to serve 3 to 4 people.

I must say that when we first went to Solera, shortly after they opened, we had a pleasant experience. Our recent visit, however, was a huge disappointment. The service was good, but the bar area is sparsely decorated opening on to an adjacent dining area with a couple pictures of flamenco dancers. We ordered drinks and tapas…. Calamari, “Tomato Toast” and Piquillo Peppers. The Calamari (fried with citrus aioli)was no more than frozen Calamari and mayonnaise. I asked for red sauce… Safrito, Piquillo, Romesco or anything but mayonnaise. It took a long time, which our server explained that all sauces were “house-made”, so it takes longer. What I received was ketchup with some “hot sauce or chilies” mixed in. I did not finish the now cold Calamari. The Piquillo peppers were lukewarm served on stale bread… did not taste the rosemary honey. The Pan con tomate (tomato toast) was cold grated tomatoes on stale bread. “Pan con tomate” should be tomato, garlic and olive oil broiled over sourdoug
