Solana is described as a warm, welcoming spot in the Old Port with attentive service and a relaxed, open-air vibe; the menu pleases vegetarians and meat lovers alike with options like lamb and hummus, zucchini feta bites, pizza funghi, chicken skewers, salmon and seafood linguine, mussels, large shrimp, and a flavorful marinara, plus a quinoa salad; the terrace, a pet friendly policy, and reasonable prices add to the appeal, and the reviews highlight a great atmosphere, friendly staff, solid drinks, and reliable dining for casual nights, celebrations, or a visit to the area, with many indicating a return to try more dishes.
Their Google Page clearly shows they have a pick-up option (see my photo). I drove half an hour, struggled to find a parking, to find their place to be told'they do not offer to-go option'. Simply ! Without offering at least a curteous cup of water.
Disapointed by such a low professionalism.
I have a huge expérience in reviewing resto locally & obroad ...
never been that disapointed :(
I miss the time where restauration was a real profession 😔
Nous avons passé une soirée de réveillon merveilleuse, les plats délicieux, les cocktails excellents, & le service hors pair. Merci Gabriel, pour ton accueil magnifique. On y retournera c'est sûr!
Was pretty disappointed after walking into the restaurant to encounter the barren upstairs area. Atmosphere was lacking to say the least. After placing our order, we waited over an hour for a salad & around 2 hours to receive our meals. Food was pretty good, but hard to enjoy over the issues & expensive pricing (maybe raised for holidays). Just unfortunate after seeing all the good reviews. There were other issues too, however I believe this review already conveys my message.
We had a great night at Solana. Everything was impeccable, the service, the food even the music was enjoyable. My gf is vegetarian so she had so many options to choose from. We tried the zucchini feta bites, pizza funghi & the chicken skewers. The food was just perfect. We will definitely come back to try other dishes.
We had a wonderful dinner. Walked in (didn't have a reservation), & right from when we opened the door, our host Gabriel looked after us exceptionally well.
We had the skewers (lamb & chicken) & the New York Steak, all cooked to perfection.
Thanks for a wonderful evening!

Chicken burger was really good & reasonably priced. Fries were good too. The staff is really nice & friendly. Atmosphere is always excellent. One of my favorites in the old port!
