thanks for the heads up wife and I love that place.

Have read a few times on here how good it is, got the email this morning they are on 225 Best Eats. $29 for a $50 voucher. Bought one for a date night.

It's really, really good. Only thing that so much as approaches actual Spanish food in town. Manager is good people, too.

ETA: The three sections of the restaurant have very different vibes. On slower nights (which this midweek deal will be), the seating section to your left when you walk in can be a little dead feeling. The high tops in the bar area (to your right when you walk in) tend to be my favorite mid week seats. Then if they are busy, the converted patio to the right past the bar area can be fun as well.

Don't be afraid to say where you'd like to sit if they have a lot of availability.

Valid only Tuesday - Thursday. I try to cook as much as possible during the week so this isn't for me, but I think more restaurants should run these to boost business on their slow nights.

Yeah, I was all in on this until I saw that. We typically only eat out on the weekends. But I do want to try Solera soon. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

ETA: weird downvote. What part offended you (whoever you are)? The fact that the wife and I typically only go out to eat on the weekend or the statement that I wanted to try Solera. Either way, I've sorry my comments were so offending to you.

Had a lot of the menu. We mostly haven't had the entrees because it is a tapas place.

The tuna crudo is one of the best I've ever had. The sauces on it are very good. Calamari is good because I prefer when it comes with a citrus-y aioli vs. a red sauce. Octopus skewers are pretty great. Ham fritters are very popular. Lamb lollipops. They do a great caesar salad with real anchovy dressing and not the fake stuff.



Oh, they're massive but the lobster fries covered in saffron butter are awesome.
