There is plenty of parking in their lot or on the street. We ended up talking a lot and our poor server came back often to see if we were ready for drinks or appetizers. Thank you for your patience. We ended up splitting a bottle of wine and ordered the caprese. The caprese was so fresh and even had pesto in the middle. It was a great start to dinner. We were even given rolls with butter as well. We actually chose this place because they have a cheese wheel and no one ended up ordering that. They also were very attentive and refilled our water without us asking. I got the rigatoni a las vodka with chicken, and my two other friends got the baked rigatoni and the fettuccine Alfredo. Our dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the chocolate Gelato and tiramasu for dessert. Those were a perfect night cap to our dinner and catch up session. The restaurant is deceptively big and had a whole back area, I am guessing for large parties. It was very clean and we were able to catch up without any issues. I definitely recommend coming here for the food and excellent service.

    I just found my new favorite sushi spot!! Right here in uptown!…read more Rashad was an AMAZING server. He walked us through the menu, told us the ingredients, and was super helpful! My friend is vegan and they had an ENTIRE menu for her to choose from. She was soooo happy to have so many choices. And it was TASTY! Sometimes vegan food can be a bit sad lol, but not here! She had an amazing experience and the vegan dishes I tried were also delicious. I personally had the lobster roll and it was super tasty! We also had the edamame which was tasty too. I ordered a cocktail and it was well balanced and refreshing. The vibe in there is so chill and cute as well. Wonderful to hangout, have a date, or even a girls night. 10/10! Would come again to try more things on the menu. Bring your vegan friends! And I hope I'd get Rashad again as our server, he made our night! :)

Before our large group was seated, I went for a drink at the bar. Sitting at the bar, you've got a view of a TV's as well for the casual drink and sports update. The food is good, nice portions. Flavor and prep are just good, nothing exceptional or impressive. Salute to the kitchen on their plating, very photogenic presentations. If prices were based on the taste and quality alone, I'd say it's just a tad bit over, however I get the feeling you're also paying for the presentation as well. Overall, Azabu does not stand out nor impress by way of culinary excellence but it checks the box if you're looking for a nice ambiance, relaxed vibe and food that's dressed to impress.

The food was amazing, very flavorful, colorful, and served with grace. Our waiter was fantastic, and the owner was just amazing. He was extremely friendly and made sure everything was okay. The drinks were delicious, the Asada plate was wonderful, the meat was so tender and juicy, the chili relleno was different from what you think it would be, but also very delicious. They brought out the chips first, and they were great. The owner let us know everything was fresh and was flown in from Mexico, I believe he said Oaxaca.The guacamole is amazing! The vibe was very home like yet colorful and open. Fridays they have live music. Please if you havent tried Sol make a stop you won't regret it.

Their moles are definitely worth trying. We've had the mole negro and the mole pipián, and both were delicious. The mole negro is a little sweeter, while the pipián has more spice. They also serve tortilla chips with mole, which is something I haven't seen at most Mexican restaurants. The reason I can't give 5 stars is because the service has been hit or miss. We've been here three times. The first time was shortly after they opened. The food tasted decent but came out cold, and the service wasn't the best. It was during the week and not very busy, so we figured they were still working out the kinks of being a new restaurant. After some time, we decided to give them another try. We went on a busy Friday night and were seated right away. The service was much better and everything seemed to be running more smoothly. We talked with the owner who was working as well as his wife who was bartending. They were both really friendly, and the owner seemed genuinely happy that we came back after we told him about our first experience. He even gave my husband a free beer after we moved to the bar to keep drinking after we finished our meals to allow for other guests to dine at the table we were. There was also a trio playing that night which added to the ambiance and was a nice way to end the work week. Our most recent visit was a couple of weeks ago for my husband's birthday. It was during the week and once again they were short-staffed. There was only one waitress taking care of the entire restaurant. She was so sweet and hustling the whole time but she was also bartending while serving every table. We definitely had to pack our patience because she was doing the best she could. Overall, Sol 626 has so much potential to be a great spot. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are what keep bringing us back. They need a little more staffing so the service can be as good as everything else.

You can tell the chef is preparing each dish individually by the way that it tastes. It's a favorite go to for me for a social lunch. It invites quality time and conversation. My friends and I stayed more than 3 hours chatting and not once were we met with hostility. A big plus in my book!

    Yooooooooooooooooo! I had NEVER heard of this place before, but my family ended up coming here…read moreafter my uncle's funeral, and honestly, what a great find! We were specifically looking for somewhere with a great price, good food, and a private room where our family could sit together and spend some time after the service. This place checked all the boxes! The Pollo Al Limone was easily one of my favorites. It's chicken breast with capers, shallots, and a lemon sauce, and the chicken was cooked PERFECTLY--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The lemon sauce had that perfect balance of tanginess without overpowering the chicken, and the capers added a nice little salty kick. Definitely a dish I'd order again. The Tortellini Di Ricotta E Spinaci Alla Panna was another favorite at the table. The tortellini was filled with ricotta cheese and paired with mushrooms, spinach, and a creamy sauce. Super comforting and rich without being too heavy, and the combination of the mushrooms and spinach worked really well with the cream sauce. This was one of those dishes where everyone kept taking "just one more bite." We also tried the Rigatoni Bolognese, which came with rigatoni and a meat sauce. The only thing I noticed was that there weren't any protein in the dish. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just something worth mentioning. The service was honestly amazing. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and accommodating, which made a big difference considering we were there with a large family after a funeral. The staff made us feel comfortable and never rushed us, and the private room was a HUGE plus for our group. The restrooms were also clean, which is always something I pay attention to when reviewing a restaurant. As far as the ambiance goes, the private room itself was pretty simple--there wasn't really any music or entertainment playing--but honestly, that worked perfectly for our situation. We were able to sit together, talk, laugh, reminisce, and spend time with each other without having to compete with loud music or a crowded dining room. We basically set the tone ourselves. Overall, I'm really glad my family discovered this place. What started as a restaurant we chose because of the private room and reasonable pricing turned into a surprisingly great meal with some really delicious dishes. The Pollo Al Limone and Tortellini were definitely the standouts for me, and the friendly service made the entire experience even better. Definitely a place I'd consider coming back to, especially for a family gathering or special occasion where having a private space is important. Sometimes the best restaurant discoveries are the ones you never even knew existed!
