The waiter who took our order was much better but still was missing good customer service skills. Asked for water for the table and wasn't delivered until our 4th time asking. We ordered the Med Platter which tasted great. Food overall was good for the price. Souvlaki and lamb chop were full of flavour and pretty juicy. Gyro was slighlty salty for my taste. This was my first time having moussaka and it had. I felt the filling lacked spice but the bechamel was a nice, creamy texture.

On November 8 2025, our party of four -- celebrating my lawyer brother's 68th birthday -- had what…read moreshould have been a pleasant evening at SOLE Restaurant in Waterloo. It turned into an embarrassing and disappointing experience. I am a retired Air Force Captain, a veteran of the Gulf War, and that evening I was joined by my brother and our spouses, we all choose to drink red wine. After enjoying dinner and ordering our second bottle of wine, a female manager approached our table to ask how we were getting home. I explained that my wife and I were staying at the Delta Hotel across the street and walked here and were walking back, while my brother mentioned that his daughter would be picking them up. Later, when we ordered a fourth bottle of wine to enjoy with dessert, the same manager returned and refused to serve us, claiming that it would amount to "one bottle per person" and could "put us over the limit." In all my 64 years, I have never been refused service ever -- especially while being responsible, polite, and transparent about our arrangements. Feeling insulted and unwelcome, we decided to take our business to the Delta Hotel, where we were treated with courtesy and common sense. Needless to say, SOLE will never see my face again, and I will make sure others are aware of how this restaurant treats paying, respectful customers celebrating a special occasion. Sincerely, Capt. (Ret'd) Martin Mattes Canadian Air Force Veteran

Very solid restaurant with great food! Place is classy but cozy. We ordered the seasonal soup which…read morewas a hearty beef and vegetable orzo soup, pear & blue pizza, and the roasted squash & duck fiorelli. Soup was perfect for the cold weather, and enough for two of us to share. Pizza had good chew to the crust and the combination of blue cheese and pears and honey was delicious. A little greasy. Pasta was delicious and cooked perfectly, the duck confit was so tender and flavourful, squash was also perfectly tender. They were also nice enough to bring a little birthday dessert for us! Only thing I'll say is that this might be the only restaurant I've felt like I'm doing something wrong... not that the servers were mean but the vibes are just something I've never felt before. Total bill for us before tax & tip was $67. Great pricing for great food. Highly recommend!

A gem that recently opened!…read more I believe this is a family business. We stopped by on one of the days when they just opened. We came across the restaurant when we were making our way to the highway. The family is SUPER friendly, kind and generous. The food is made fresh and service is quite fast. Customer service and quality seems to be some of their priorities. Most of the staff that we spoke to there were very friendly and down to have a conversation while we wait for food (as the restaurant wasn't too busy). The shawarma take out deal was a steal and portions were right on. The shawarma is filling enough and food is served fresh and hot.
