This place has apparently been around for a long time but never heard of it. Came here on a whim from Irvine and it did not disappoint. The vibe and atmosphere was awesome. Small little restaurant with a few private areas to rent out for an event if you'd like. Service was great. The food was incredible. We had the shrimp and mushrooms as an appetizer which were both delicious. I had the blackened ahi for my main course which was to die for. Perfect flavor. Will definitely be coming back here sooner than later. read more

Great experience at SoL on a nice Sunday night. We had a reservation and arrived a bit early. They sat us near the entry door and soon was served with chips and salsa which is compelementary. I ordered the Vulcan chicken that was as spicy as advertised and finished every bit of the chicken and the delicious habanero sauce. Highly recommended if you like spicy food. My wife had their salmon salad. She was t super crazy about her food but we enjoyed the overall atmosphere and the great service. read more

The ambiance is great and the staff was also so great! It's a cute quaint restaurant with absolutely awesome customer service. We ordered a lot as our party was a good size. I didn't get pictures of everything though. I ordered the blackened ahi, which I felt was quite salty. It did come with sauce but I felt like it was just ok. The vegetables also had no flavor, I get they may be steamed but it needs some flavor to it. The pineapple salsa that it came with was probably the best on the plate, a little spicy but I like spicy. The clams and mussels were good. I also loved the rock shrimp, very flavorful! My husband said the bruschetta tasted great. Someone in our party ordered the blackened salmon and they loved it. Another person also ordered the rack of lamb which he loved as well. Next time I think I'll have to try something different as I was not too happy with the blackened ahi. read more

I went tonight with my family and had the Lobster ravioli, Newport linguine, Sols bruschetta, and grandma Jill's meatloaf. The food was spectacular, and Misty was an amazing host who convinced us to try the butter cake for dessert; it was heavenly. The house sangria pitcher was also very refreshing. My family loved this place and will definitely return to sample other dishes on the menu. read more

Such a cute place!! They have amazing decor for a cozy vibe. The place is nice and intimate-- perfect for a nice dinner or gathering with loved ones. The food was delicious and the portions were just right! Our servers were also amazing! read more

We had a wonderful dining experience at Sol Grill overall; the atmosphere and company were great. However, my personal food experience wasn't as enjoyable. I didn't have much of an appetite, so I decided to order just an appetizer: the Spicy Kung Fu Shrimp with rice. Unfortunately, the dish was overwhelmingly spicy; not just in heat, but with an overpowering flavor that didn't sit well with me. I only managed to eat two shrimp before my stomach started reacting. Others at the table tried it as well, and no one could quite figure out the flavor, it wasn't just spicy, but had something else that made it hard to enjoy. I usually like spicy food, but this was a bit too much. Our server was so lovely! read more

We are visiting from Las Vegas and we stopped at Sol Grill for a bite. The service was tremendous, and the food was awesome. Oh, and great prices. read more

The food was top-notch! Really enjoyed the experience. Waitress was a little bit too forceful in trying to clear our plates and get to the next stage. Point that she would interrupt our conversation to ask if she could clear play. Other than that, it was a perfect experience. read more

Let me just say this is such an amazing place! Customer service is amazing. Ambience is great and food is delicious. But one thing that got me was the drinks if you want great food and drinks this is definitely the spot to come to. Hands down Misty is amazing !!! read more

I love the ambiance of this place and it feels homey. It seems like a lot of locals come here and are known by the staff. I didn't feel the attention that I saw others getting but I understand. I had the salmon and was told it was spicey. I can handle spice and the issue I had with this dish it was spicey just to be spicey. It was missing flavor. Maybe tone down the spice so it is shuttle and add some flavor. The mushrooms were good but needed salt. Loved the bread and our server was friendly. Definitely give the place a try read more

I booked a private room for a birthday party and everything was great! It was relatively short notice but Misty was able to accommodate 18 guests. Everyone loved the food and the staff was amazing. read more

She gave us great suggestions and terrific service. It's terrific Valentines date dinner. read more

JC was my server tonight and provided the BEST service, he made my friend's birthday the best birthday literally ever??? Didn't think the service could even get to this level but JC ensured that I was drinking, dining, and celebrating every minute of this amazing dinner!!! I don't even live in the area and I'm coming back strictly for him -- if you're not seated in his area I'd HIGHLY recommend you ask for it read more

A cozy restaurant with great food and service. Definitely on our short list of "go to" dinner locations.

Service and Ambiance was great, and the food was excellent. The hot fresh house made bread is so yummy! We started with the seared ahi tuna, which was delicious, and the clam steamers. The clams were the only thing we didn't like here, they tasted bad, like sour or rotten. The 3 people who tried them did not like them. Our mains were swordfish, lemon rosemary chicken, fettuccine jambalaya, and the arugula salad add salmon. Everyone loved there main dish. Great flavor and quality. read more

Excellent food, atmosphere, service and friendly staff. Missy (owner) runs a great restaurant! Each meal is prepared separately including the soups! Yes, the vegetables in the soup are freshly cooked before being added to the soup. The meatloaf and salmon are exceptional. Every time I'm on town, usually on Tuesdays, it's the only place I will chose to dine. read more

They have great service here, great food, great ambience, and they are very personable here to the guests!

This cute cozy place offers the comfort of "home". It feels like the building was once a small cottage that got converted to a restaurant. It's a little claustrophobic and extremely hot inside. It seems there's no central air and that all the heat is coming from the kitchen, cooking. We came on a Saturday night and there was plenty of parking which is so rare for Newport. The staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server was a very bright and pleasant young lady, we adored her (forgot her name). She was kind enough to give each of us separate checks (went with a meetup group). They gave us the booth in the back, which was a private room (between the 2 single use bathrooms) and we enjoyed the privacy and never felt forgotten. Luckily there was doors to the outside that were left open so we got an occasional cool breeze to combat the hotness. The food was good, it was comfort food, everyone enjoyed their meals but it wasn't anything special. It was like going to moms house and having good food with loved ones. Though I want to support small businesses and I would definitely recommend this place to friends, I don't think I could return simply because the temperature was really just too hot for me. read more
