"paninis were supposed to be on foccacia bread but they used white bread without telling us ahead of time. water glasses had lipstick marks. service was incredibly slow. fries were ordered but did not come out with the entrees; when asked if fries were coming, we had to wait 10 minutes before they came out piping hot and undercooked."

"Went with my gf and her parents for a brunch. We arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation time, but they weren't quite done setting up for the day, so we were seated maybe 10-15 minutes later. The brunch menu has a number of options, but they seem to focus on frittatas, pizzas, and various styles of eggs benedict. The service was generally okay, no missteps overall. My gf and I both had a frittata, both of us were disappointed, she even said her home fries were not thoroughly cooked. Her parents had a pancetta/arugula pizza (very good), and french toast (seemed to be the winner of the group). I'd definitely go back if I wanted to sit outside and enjoy a beer and something to snack on, though not so sure I'd go back for brunch again."

"Very poor service. No bread or silverware until we asked for it. Calamari rubbery.Salad too vinegary, Pannini was nothing special and truffle pizza tasteless, though the crust wasn't bad. Would not return."

"Limited menu options, specials only for a certain type of eater, small serving sizes, appetizers are not shareable, rude host staff...only bright spot was it had a good beer selection...although that's not enough to bring me back a third time"

"Food is mediocre. Very loud. We were seated right next to a door on a chilly day. There were people dining outside (in gloves and scarves). The door was used to serve the outside tables. We wore our coats throughout the meal."

"We went here for Valentine's Day, so I'm sure service would be better on a more regular night. It wasn't bad, just a little slow. The food and beer selection were both great! The portion sizes are appropriate for the cost, which isn't too bad. I would definitely go back there!"

"Since Solaris closed ( and missed) I have not been to the new place in the same location. We went on Super Bowl Sunday well before the game. The place was mostly empty except folks at the bar.
The food was good, waitress was friendly, nothing more nothing less. I thought the wine by the glass was a bit pricey- $12 for pinot noir- but the food prices were reasonable. I will go back again."
