    It was so good the day before we booked for another early bird meal! Lovely background music. Another excellent (and completely different meal) which left our tastebuds tingling! Well done team!

    The food was mainly good and large size portions. I wish the server told us we were ordering too much good. Also, I believe the scallops in the Coquille St Jacques could have been fresher. I’m a bit of a scallop snob and just not the best.

    This is one myself and my family's favorite restaurant and while we go here quite often since there is a divide between those who like a good steak and myself who enjoys seafood, SOLE satisfies all of our taste buds. Yet this time when we went, it was a little special as it was my little sister's birthday and the staff were so kind to bring out a little cake for her which made our day extra special. Therefore this review is more of a thank you to the chefs at SOLE for the consistency of always delivering the best food and to the rest of the staff who are so attentive to everyone in the restaurant.

    At arrival i was advised that only high chair table is available. I did not book it. I do use these and have issue with weight and back. The restaurant host did not pay any attention to it and was not willing to sort the problem. She just told me one table is available and it is a standard table. She also advised that next time i made a booking i need to put a note. Where exactly i need to put this note? Obvisouly she has no clue and argued with me instead of trying to sort it out. There were plenty of other low tables. Food service was super slow and poor. We waited for main courts almost an hour. Also we advised that we need to leave the table after 3 hours whilst waiting time for main course was 1 hour. No apology or anything, the host made it look it is out fault. It is my second time there, food is good but service was very disappointed. Obviously restaurant did not invest in training of staff at all. Very poor customer service,

    Early theater dinner for 2. I understand now why it is difficult to get a reservation. The food and service were spectacular. The Dover Sole was perfect and Oysters, etc.. were fantastic
