Reviews for Solé Restaurant and Wine Bar in Waterloo, ON

Quick food service with accommodating staff. Portions were nearly perfect, but food quality was fantastic. This was Beef... Tenderloin, and each cut of the beef had tons of flavour. Overall a nice place for dinner with a warming atmosphere and greattasting food. Read more

We went to Solé on a weekday dinner time and it was decently busy inside. We had reservations, so we got a seat right away. We... were a bit out of place since most people were older (not University students) and we were the only Asians in therestaurant. We got the Fried Calamari ($17) and it was pretty good, except the batter wasn’t actually crispy like weexpected. We also got the Rigatoni Pasta ($27) which was okay, but the sauce needed some salt, it was quite bland and thechicken was a bit dry. Lastly, we got the Penne Carbonara ($26), but for some reason it came with spaghetti instead and therewas no egg yolk. The portion was so small and it wasn’t that good. Maybe it was just what we got, but the food was just notworth it. From the flavour to the portion size to the price point, we felt like we could make the pastas at home. They were kindenough to give us a birthday sorbet, it wasn’t my cup of tea but I still appreciated the effort. Overall, disappointed withthe dishes we got other than the calamari but our server was nice. Read more

I always drive pass the restaurant and seeing the beautiful patio area. So tonight we gave it a try. The food is around/below... average, I would give a 2 star considering I came expecting a 4.5 star quality. We ordered medium rare beef tenderloin. It iscooked at right level. But the sauce tastes too strong (not great…) and is covering the true taste of the meat. And the sauceis poured on the meat so at the end of meal there is only taste of sauce but no taste of meat. I guess sauce on the side wouldbe better. Overall it’s around average but not as good as ones from steakhouse. We also ordered braised ribs, which I wouldsay below average. The ribs itself is actually good, having decent fat portion. But one piece of rib does not get any sauce soit’s so dry. Another piece got some BBQ sauce but sauce is too sweet… It’s weird that at the end of the meal whenwaitress came to ask how is the food, I gave a “so so gesture” and was about to comment what I described above. But she justwalked away, feeling like it’s just a routine asking “how is food tasting” but not really cares… Read more

Loved our time here. The lemonlada and carbonara were the best!! The staff was nice and the place was cute. I honestly crave the... drink and pasta so much! Will definitely come back very soon Read more

Long history restaurant and recommend by our partner. Elegant and unique environment inside. Food and service is great. We have... great dinner time there with our partner company Equitable top management. Will recommend this restaurant to my friends in thefuture. Read more

We had a hit and miss experience. Virgin drinks were good but my old fashioned was watered down. The app you see was very... good, but our entrees were mediocre. The Spaghetti Bolognese was ok but the tenderloin was subpar with cold potatoes andveggies. I should also mention the manager did come over and the service was good. If you're looking for a fine diningexperience I would suggest Bauer Kitchen in uptown. Read more

A very nice spot in the heart of Waterloo. Amazing ambiance. The service is great and the food is mouthwatering! We had the... chicken, the potato lasagna, the penne carbonara, and a pizza - all of them were perfect! The desserts here are at a differentlevel, we tried the triple white chocolate cake, a raspberry cheese cake like and the lemon meringue, and they were alsoperfect! Highly recommended. Read more

We went to celebrate our anniversary and were not dissapointed. The place is really nice and cozy. The service was fast and... good. There were not too many people dining either. We ordered soup of the day and scallops as appetizer. The soup was a potato,fennel, sausage and manchego cheese. Delicious! The scallops were amazing, so so good and tasty and the sauce was out of thisworld!! We got some slices of bread and butter on the house. For main I ordered the hemp crusted salmon. The fish and the sweetpotato puree was very good and cooked to perfection. The dish came w half a beet which was cold. I did call the server and askedher if it was supposed to be served cold and she said room temp. She did offer to take it back and throw it in a pan but Ideclined since I knew I was not gonna eat it all anyway. Hubby got penne carbonara which was really good. For dessert we had acreme brule and a chocolate cake and they surprised us with a "happy anniv" in it We need to be back to try other dishes forsure and can't wait for the summer to go and try the patio too.
