I can’t believe it took me this long to try this place! But with the Michelin recognition AND San Diego Magazine, I felt it worth the try. Now, I can’t wait to return to try more of the menu and bring friends and family.

I’ve never had a bad experience here. The owner is very hands-on and the consistency of the food and service is always spot on

This is an expensive place, but being San Diego you don’t have to dress up, my friends wore hoodies and jeans. The wait staff is not stiff but formal, kind and funny. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was not too loud, in fact I loved it because they played Otis Redding all night!! The food was amazing, and the drink selection even better. Not a huge selection of gluten-free food options though…maybe that’s why I liked the drinks better. They had a gluten-free pizza crust that was spongy and delicious. They had gluten-free bread to eat before dinner which was also spongy and like a focaccia you could dip in they’re olive oil, although I didn’t get their yummy spices in it, like the others. Highly recommend the old fashioned like drink. And our friends were rolling their eyes how delicious the porkchops were. Another must mention is the pistachio creme brulee, which was more like chocolate with a couple pistachios on top

SOLARE was the first restaurant on our “eat our way through Liberty Station” tour. The restaurant opened at 4:30pm and we were immediately ushered to a table, but we thought the welcome could have been more inviting and friendlier. We loved that our waiter had complete knowledge of the menu and was able to offer his recommendations, but we wished he came around more often.

The service was great they checked on us the perfect amount and they split our salad for us without us asking.

So close to amazing, but came up short this visit. I want to go again and see if they can do better, because it really seems like they could. The server left us between our order and when our main entrees came out, without taking my drink order. Otherwise he was great. And my sides were poorly done – grilled cherry tomatoes were room temp and very off putting because of it and the fingerling potatoes were badly undercooked. The lamb chops were close to perfection though and my wife loved her lobster ravioli.

Enjoyed a lovely meal with my family. I had never had spiny lobster before and it was perfection. I loved their foccacia with olive oil. The pistachio creme brulee and chocolate caramel mousse are worth ordering again.
