The meal at Solera was really a first rate experience. I'll just tell you I'm a huge gourmet. So... Recently, I ate at Solera in Manhattan. Everyone at this particular restaurant was so awesome! The vibe was superb. Amongst our issues was the presentation was not that remarkable. The look was good but did not provide you with that amaze vibe. Brilliant food! The price was what we all anticipated though perhaps a few $ too pricey. I am a massive fan of the place. Go now ahead of the hype gets insane. We will be soon.
