                                        Somewhat overpriced. Starters arrived just after we received our cocktails - felt rushed. Lobster thermidor (95 Euros!) not the best we've ever had.

                                        Our first time going to Sole, we got the early bird menu and everything was stunning. We got scallops and chowder to start. Monkfish and sea bass for mains and key lime tart for dessert. Great selection of cocktails and wine.

                                        Cuisine here was excellent. All foods were served at proper temperatures and artfully prepared. Service by Captain was excellent, overall service from our server was rushed and lackluster. We enjoyed the food but service did not match the pricing of the restaurant.
