Sola Bistro & Wine Bar

Food was delicious, our server was friendly and efficient. Ambiance is very classy and romantic. Great place for a first date.

No Ice Tea. Really !!! The soup was edible .. little fishy but it was a chowder . Friends we went with loved there food . Little pricey for what you get . Server was professional was very busy. . But he kept my water full .. our Ribeye was a little Chewy/ tougher then a well marbled ribeye that releases great flavor and normally a lot more tender . But they get stars because again out guest liked . Why i had to take star away is we were held hostage my biggest pet peeve . So 1 ok meal and 2 good ones you get 4 stars . And a 10.00 sharing charge. Thats hilarious .

Had an amazing experience here the other night. Was able to be seated quickly and the service here was great!The wine selection was great and the food was amazing. I tried everyone's plate and it was all so delicious. I am so glad I ordered the rib eye, it was my favorite out of all. The sauce they placed on top complimented the dish well! The appetizers were great too as well as desert, which was the crème brûl�ée. I will be back again !

It's all about the shrimp and polenta! Everything there is incredible but that shrimp and polenta is absolutely next level. Wonderful experience with very nice private setting and fantastic service. This is a must check out!

Not impressed at all. We got a recommendation from another local place down the street. Service was seriously lacking. Server was like a robot. Food menu is small. Portions are even smaller. Tables and booths are even smaller. It is a tiny place. Not even a view. We ordered a charcuterie board and I think it was meant for a toddler. Ridiculously small portions. And very high prices. I thought my fancy sister would like this place and even she was not impressed. I'm sorry, I just don't like paying a ton of money for small portion and not great service. Just me. If you do, try it out!

It is a very cool place in the middle of St. Pete Beach. We were here on a business trip and we were able to walk here from our hotel! You can come here casual or dressed up - whatever you like! We were meeting friends and boy, did they pick a great place! We all started with a drink and I picked a cab franc that was out of this world! They have an extensive wine list which was fabulous! There also was Guinness at the table! We followed with pate (rabbit and goose) and it was delicious. Mind you I don't normally eat that but it was delectable - it comes time pita and we asked for cucumbers to for the gluten free in our party! There were two lab shoulders (that were delicious) and two margate (fish/collarbone) at the table! We decided to have grilled asparagus as well. The wait staff was very attentive as well. I love that it is a small place as you do get more attention! Everything that was served to us was incredibly tasteful and wonderful. I would definitely come back!

Really great atmosphere with extensive wine list. We enjoyed our meal however the Grouper Mykonos fish dish was a little off. Fish was overcooked and a bit dry and the feta with diced tomatoes just didn't work. Everything else was great. See pics of salads, steak and dessert.

First time here and it was a good experience. Came with friends so we were able to try lots of dishes. Started with a glass of the Armenian rose, which I enjoyed. For apps we had the mussels and the wings, the mussels were ok and could have used more seasoning. The wings were super tasty and char grilled. For dinner I had the bucatini carbonara which happens to be a signature dish for them and it was good but didn't knock my socks off. The pancetta in the carbonara was crispy, but the pasta needed something to take it to another level. My friends had the grouper with risotto and they enjoyed their dish. Ended the night with the honeycomb cake dessert and it was tasty, I'm not a dessert person so I'll just say it was made well and tasty.

We have been visiting St. Pete Beach for many years now, and Sola was recently recommended. Of course we always like to try new restaurants when we visit and Sola is one we haven't been to yet. While the homemade gnocchi with beef stroganoff special was delicious, do not order the Armenian style pork (which is always on the menu apparently). It was unreasonably fatty and the eggplant side dish was cold (when it should have been at least room temp). We brought this to our server's attention and he just shrugged it off as "pork shoulder is fatty." We've worked in restaurants during college and grad school so we're pretty understanding, but not even an offer of a dessert on the house was disappointing to say the least.

What a gem of a restaurant. I have been a few times in the past few weeks and the combination of food, wine, hospitality and ambiance are wonderful. The space is intimate with lighting but the tables are far enough away that you do not feel cramped. I noticed lots of people engaged in conversation so the energy here is fun and festive from the owner to the servers and it spills over to the guests. It seems there are a lot of 'regulars' here so that is a good sign. Prices are very reasonable and the wine list is excellent with lots of choices at various price ranges.My favorite dish that I've sampled so far is the pork shoulder served with roasted eggplant salad--phenomenal and I can feel my body craving it. I will be back many times.
