What Jim Cooper doesn't like about Solitary Restaurant:
This restaurant is in a lovely position with nice views in an attractive old building, but is let down by either disinterested or inexperienced staff. The food is ok, not great, but is pricey. I have heard good reviews about Solitary, but it was disappointing on our visit. View all feedback. What Ismael Plaza likes about Solitary Restaurant:
With well executed French & Italian influences, the food of this long established restaurant continues to draw repeat visitsToday's lunch highlight was the beef cheek entree with a yummy celeriac purée & unctuous eggplant. Washed down with Tamberlain Merlot, a great start to a long lunch. Partners zucchini flowers stuffed with Gorgonzola & ricotta also goodMains almost as good.

Best place in the mountains on a nice sunny day to sit outside and sip away at a coffee and have something to eat outside.

Solitary restaurant, located in a lovely building with stunning views, has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have praised the food as fantastic, others have found it disappointing and bland. There have been complaints about the service, with some customers feeling let down by the attitude of the staff. Despite this, many have still enjoyed their experience at Solitary, with some even holding their weddings there. Overall, it seems the restaurant's charm lies in its beautiful location, delicious food, and attentive staff, making it a must-visit spot in the Blue Mountains for a special lunch or dinner.
