We had an excellent experience at SOLE. SOLE provides an amiable and informed service, prompt but not rushed. We had an opportunity to sample some wines before selecting, led by the recommendations of our waitress. Everyone at our party enjoyed the food, great taste and excellent presentation. SOLE also presented us with a Congratulatory plate for our special occasion, which was a lovely touch. Thank you to all for another very memorable dining experience!
