Feedback
Solas restaurant offers a charming atmosphere and a cozy dining experience, marked by fairy lights and attentive staff. While many patrons praise the excellent service and well-presented dishes, others express disappointment, particularly regarding portion sizes and inconsistencies in meal quality. Some diners have encountered delays and issues with specific dishes, impacting their overall experience. However, positive reviews highlight the restaurant's inviting atmosphere and the staff's eagerness to ensure customer satisfaction. Solas may be worth a visit for its pleasant setting and delicious food, but diners should approach with tempered expectations regarding consistency.
Very good restaurant with refined and elaborate dishes. The portions are rather small of a gastronomic type but as we are not big eaters we were happy with the size of the served dishes. The service was fine. We recommend this establishment with pleasure!
We stayed at the hotel and took dinner at the restaurant. We were very happy because the food and drinks have tasted us very much. Price above average, but according to quality. There is also a friendly and attentive service to feel absolutely comfortable.
My family and I recently dined at this restaurant while visiting the island. We tried the scallops and langoustines, as well as the black pudding and haddock with cider. All of the dishes were cooked perfectly, with the scallops being particularly sensational. In comparison to another restaurant we visited the night before (Eleven), Solas was definitely a step above. I highly recommend it.
The quality of the food was also subpar. My sirloin steak had gristle in the center and was served with a meager portion of Peppercorn sauce that lacked flavor and was clearly not made fresh. The scallops starter only consisted of two scallops and was overpriced for what was served. Additionally, the service was slow and disjointed, with delays in receiving our drinks and a lack of attentiveness from the staff. Overall, I was highly disappointed with the restaurant. The lack of attention to food safety, inadequate training of the staff, mediocre food quality, poor value for money, and subpar service all contribute to a negative dining experience. I hope the restaurant takes this review seriously and makes improvements, but based on my experience, I am not optimistic.
