    Everything was really good for the most part. Improvements: - goat cheese enchiladas: mention meats add ons - dark chocolate ganache desert - use real whipped cream (not the cheap oil based stuff). - Make the bar area come alive at night and keep that area open later on weekends.

    Server was phenomenal validated our parking without us asking! That has been a pet peeve of mine in the past so bravo! Food was great they accidentally made the guacamole with onions then comped it the rest of the food was fabulous. Best duck taco ever beet salad with chicken was great but the Newport location gives way more chicken anyway it was delicious. Great lunch!

    Had reservation at 10 didn’t get seated till about 10:35 and everyone else had been seated it seemed like they just completely skipped my name and called everyone else. Then when seated was sent outside where the heater wasn’t working and only after informing them I was seated inside. Won’t be returning due to experience.

    We visited SOL Irvine on Valentine’s Day and really enjoyed the food. Our waitress was amazing, and the music was great—it’s rare to find a place with such good music. The food was simply lovely, and most importantly, very affordable! 😍
