"This is La Quinta old style, which is most of La Quinta and I don't mean this in a negative way, but if you are looking for a unique Italian Experience, this is not it. What it IS is reasonably good food, that is predictable and exactly what you think, in a very comfortable, if dated setting. Even the the background music seems like something from the 50's, not bad, just predictable. The restaurant offers a huge comfortable patio (in the days of COVID a big plus) with lots of plants, misters and comfortable seating. The wait staff is generally friendly and agreeable. The evening we were there the hostess was bussing tables and taking initial drink orders which led to a bit of a wait to be seated, probably a result of understaffing in the face of all the issues of the pandemic. It was happy hour so not sure what they do during the dinner hour. We had two cocktails, an appetizer and happy hour pizza. The drinks were ok, if a little too expensive. The calamari was good, a little tough. We had the pepperoni pizza, and that was good. The service was good. It all came in at just under $50, but the drinks were $24 of that. I look forward to returning to try a salad, perhaps a glass of wine and see how it all stacks up. This was our first visit in the 2.5 years we have been here, we have been pretty big Stuft Pizza fans, but the larger patio make a big difference, and the wait at stuffed has gotten pretty insufferable. Not their fault, but it is what it is."

"The setting was lovely but very noisy in the outdoor portion. People in the bar areas are just so screechy, it’s unbelievable how few people pay any attention to how loud they are and impactful upon others. The host and all the bussers were really nice, but the waitress was very terse, just as soon as she found out we don’t drink. I guess she figured her tip wouldn’t be worth much so she just did not bother. She barely said anything to us the entire time. If the food had been spectacular, I guess I would be less disappointed, but it was good-to-very-good, depending on the dish, and her attitude just made us feel unwelcome. And I did give her a whopping tip, since you never know what is making someone crabby. She did seem much more engaged with folks at other tables, though. All in all, it was a nice enough evening, but I would not go back."

"In a word, Outstanding! I rarely post reviews, but it's a pleasure if you can scream out. Six of us went to dinner tonight. We were greeted in the restaurant with smiles and a sense of humor by a cheerful staff and immediately placed on our table. The drinks were great and the bread served, just after sitting, warm and fresh. One of the first things I noticed was that although the restaurant was very busy, we were able to reverse without having to compete with the ambient noise. A pleasant change from the typical loud restaurant atmosphere, which I experience more and more in these days. Some of us had a starter or salad and all made a point to share their joy. My butter salad was great. The participants were simply delicious and elegantly presented. I have selected a duck from the optional Valentine's Day menu. A Dungeness crab sole that was exquisito. The bananas Foster and vanilla ice cream that we shared for Dessert were the perfect end for a delightful culinary experience. The service was perfect with a small exception. The coffee ordered with Dessert was brought to the table just before the dessert. Our server, whose name unfortunately comes to me, for whom I apologize, was warm and attentive with a brilliant smile. Of course, our first experience at Solano's was just excellent."

"We hosted our holiday party on the terrace. When we arrived, we commented that the table size for a reservation of 13 was too small. The staff immediately sat to make a bigger table and we sat in a short order. We received nothing from our guests except Rave reviews about the appetizers, soups and salads, main courses, drinks and desserts. The waiting staff was prompt, attentive and friendly. For many, it was her first time in this restaurant. From the comments we received, it sounds like many will return."
