    Server was phenomenal validated our parking without us asking! That has been a pet peeve of mine in the past so bravo! Food was great they accidentally made the guacamole with onions then comped it the rest of the food was fabulous. Best duck taco ever beet salad with chicken was great but the Newport location gives way more chicken anyway it was delicious. Great lunch!

    Had reservation at 10 didn’t get seated till about 10:35 and everyone else had been seated it seemed like they just completely skipped my name and called everyone else. Then when seated was sent outside where the heater wasn’t working and only after informing them I was seated inside. Won’t be returning due to experience.

    We visited SOL Irvine on Valentine’s Day and really enjoyed the food. Our waitress was amazing, and the music was great—it’s rare to find a place with such good music. The food was simply lovely, and most importantly, very affordable! 😍

    Very quiet on a Super Bowl evening. Zachary served our table of four, was very friendly and helpful. Food is great, cocktails are good, beer selection a bit limited, mostly Mexican. Have two issues with this place. They have a $2.75 fee added to the bill which is vaguely described as an "inflation charge". They will remove this if asked, but I view it as sneaky and underhanded. Second, parking is only validated for an hour. Not a big deal, but how can a party of four be seated and served in an hour without feeling rushed?

    Food and drinks came in really really slow! I made the reservation in advance, and not sure if they were low staffed or the kitchen had fewer chefs.
