   I have been to a few Michelin star restaurants but £840 for an average meal for two with a mediocre wine pairing was absolutely ridiculous. The menu on the website is not what was offered and most of the dishes lacked flavour and depth. Fanfare with meals should compliment the mind blowing flavours of the dish where your tastebuds are taken on a journey not to hide mediocracy of the dishes. Now the wine pairing was equally disappointing and lacklustre. The only good thing about our experience is the quality of the service which was great and attentive. I definitely will not be returning to Solasoho.

   It's hard to leave a view when you're left speechless.. Let's start with the welcome - front of house staff dressed in uniform cream, each with their own defined and welcoming personality; no pressure to go for the tasting menu, but when you're told that it 'just keeps coming,' it's hard to resist. An informed sommelier tells you that the wine list changes each week and are responsibly sourced - this adds to the mix. And then the dishes do indeed keep coming - and what dishes they are. Victor Garvey is in many ways a summation of all the great restaurants in which he's worked - French Laundry, El Bulli etc.. This is, for me, the best place no just in London, but Europe... and it's just getting started...

   Everything about the evening was fabulous! Food and wine of exceptional quality, knowledgeable and friendly service, tables well spaced out and large. Would definitely return.

   Honestly a terrible experience, especially at this price point. Our primary complaint was the service - which was indifferent and inattentive. We arrived early for our reservation (by 5 min) and were treated as an inconvenience. Drink menus were only produced as an afterthought. Halfway through the first course I had an empty glass and was not one asked if I wanted anything else (which I would have ordered even for a 26 pound makers mark old fashioned). We finished our meal and had no offer of coffee service and watched the the lead staff pass our table (in a very very small space) more than 10 times without any check in on our meal or offer to bring the check. Food was all right but a bit underwhelming, with last minute substitutes from the menu (halibut is not the same as scallops) and a very underwhelming wagyu steak (tough to cut and overcooked). The pastries were quite good but the chocolate cake was easily the size of both savory courses so it was imbalanced. On top of that the space lacked attention to detail - no hand towels in the single toilet, typos and ill formatted menus, etc. Considering the great restaurants within a five minute walk i cannot imagine this place will keep its star let alone stay in business.

   Great experience, took Hubby for our anniversary and we both enjoyed the food and service. So good I have booked to take my client back the following week! I saw SOLA on Masterchef and booked and it did not disappoint at any level.
