Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Henrico

I’ll try to avoid exaggeration here but I may have just had the best meal of my life. I had the special which was shrimp and sausage with orecchiette pasta and it was so good. I mean just really really incredible. My dinner partner had the famous 5 which is basically their spaghetti. It was the best spaghetti I have ever tasted and I’ve had plenty. The service was incredible. The entire meal took about 40 minutes from the time we sat down and we had an appetizer as well. The value is great considering we have leftovers for 3 more days and that is not hyperbole. This is the best restaurant for the money in richmond Virginia. Of that I have no doubt.

Music was a little loud, and we had to talk over it

My my cognac, chicken and cream entrée was excellent. The side dish, au gratin potatoes contained gluten which I cannot eat, so I told the server and they substituted a very generous portion of a gluten-free pasta with my selected sauce. It was my wife’s birthday so they comped our first drinks.  it was an all-around wonderful experience: great food, great service, great atmosphere. We will definitely be going back. 

Enjoyed Fall RRWEEK and the chef out did themselves. Everything was delicious, flavorful and cooked good impress. We enjoyed the Dolmades, Shrimp Spaganaki and Harrisa Wing for apps. The Star was the Spaganaki & Harrissa sauce 😘 8/10 On entrees we had, Zatar chicken — add this to the regular menu, so tasty and the leeks was next level. We also had the Morrocan oxtail, so flavorful. ✨8/10 The dessert, my favorite was the Baklava Pumpkin Pie - definitely a delight ✨ 7/10 I enjoy Bar Solita often, whether for Brunch, Lunch or Dinner the food is always great. We were going to skip Bar Solita for restaurant week, but I’m glad we changed our minds and made them our first stop — definitely check them out the food was BUSSIN (in the best way) And thanks to our server Edwin, he was always right on time and gave great suggestions. Tip him well 😎 Until next time, stop by and grab a meal or two 😊 Honorable mentions - the venue is super cute for date night or with friends. Great for taking memorable pics (Instagrammable) and very spacious. - it’s the Old Popkins Building (historic)
