Our Christmas Eve visit was as befitting for a holiday lunch occasion as we had hoped for. We will return and we will recommend Sole to whoever is looking for an elegant dining option in the coty center.

Had a wonderful meal including the Fish Tower which was super fresh! All five of our main courses were superb and Leonardo our waiter was very attentive. Great Christmas ambience but equally excellent customer service on a very busy evening.

Good food, well trained friendly staff which unfortunately is unusual to see these days, particularly when it is busy. We weren’t rushed out the door when our time was up and all in all a lovely afternoon.

I never leave bad review but this was Pure disappointment, service didn’t seem very happy to work there also forgot our dessert so we waited over 30mins for them (could be the kitchen), only positive is that manager accommodate us to move to other table as originally we were given table in the bar area which we didn’t like as we booked the restaurant area. Food was tragic, scallop starter was terrible, scallops overcooked and cold, crumbled black pudding , half crispy bacon and dead watercress leaves without any salt or anything . Halibut and steak for mains again very poor, lack of seasoning is mind blowing for place supposed to be best seafood restaurant in the country. We sat down across to the kitchen window and they were just chatting arround and didn’t really Give any love to the food. The rib eye steak is meat from Peter Hannan which is premium beef but wasn’t treated with any respect it was so bad that I had to ask the waitress for salt . Side of chips which are the cheapest chips from Sysco again no salt and 6 pieces of cold tender stem broccoli was just laughable. The desserts were the nicest part of the meal chocolate and hazelnut log was lovely but the key lime pie was bought in tart shell and lemon puree was way too aggressive but still better than the other courses Overall the experience was terrible is beautiful restaurant but the food was pure embarrassment for 75 euro, hopefully they just ran out of salt on the day and had a bad day but disappointing kitchen performance.
