    Sol Mar was wonderful! Definitely packed on Valentine’s Day. The food was good, could’ve used a bit more salt and some more sauce, but was still yummy. Desserts were absolutely delicious and the sangria was to die for! The servers were great and attentive despite the busy night. The atmosphere was very warm and we loved the decor. We will definitely be coming back!

    Great experience! Food was good and the service was good. The hostess seemed a bit overwhelmed by the traffic of people arriving but the manager did a good job seating people.

    Went there on Saturday night with my wife. Was pleasantly surprised, nice venue with a huge bar and it's own parking lot. Excellent service, the food was very good and wasn't overly expensive. I just couldn't figure out why it wasn't very crowded. I'd definitely go back.

    This was our first experience at this restaurant, Lagar, and we will make it one of our regulars. We were warmly welcomed on a quiet Tuesday night. Our waiter John was personable and attentive. The food was delicious. We will be back soon, thank you very much!
