Denied a table

by kira05

After reading good reviews , we decided to go to Soleil. We called up up front to make sure we dont have to wait. We were told its a walk in and we should be ok. After arriving there, we were told that they are suddenly expecting a big group and the manager has directed the staff not entertain any more guest. We saw a couple of tables in patio and asked if we could sit there. We were asked how long we were planning to stay and the service will not be quick. We found it a little insulting and rude.

Great Food, Beautiful Restaurant!

by Peedler

This little french restaurant instantly became one of my favorites. I went here for dinner, and as soon as I stepped inside, I was struck by the yellow walls, the deep blue with little night stars on the ceiling, and the overall sense of a romance. The pictures on the restaurant's website really do not do it justice! One of the appetizers we had was the cheese fondue, which was not a bowl of melted cheese as we expected, but instead a surprisingly delicious block of crusty-on-the-outside melted-on-the-inside cheese to spread over bread. I would definitely recommend it. I had the their duck (Canard a la Jeff ), and the blend of the sweet orange sauce and the flavorful duck were perfect. My other guest's guests got the Grilled Filet of Salmon and the Steak a la Christine, both of which they ate with delight. The only odd thing was that the side dishes that come with the entrees are either french fries or scalloped potatoes. The french fries were fine, but I would recommend the scalloped potatoes as you can get french fries anywhere. For dessert we had the Raspberry Creme Brulee, which had a very nice top crust smooth raspberry flavor. Our server was also very attentive and nice. The entrees are about $20 each, but well worth it.

• Pros: Ambience, Food, Parking, Service
• Cons: Small restaurant

Excellent food and service!

I went here for my boyfriend and I's anniversary. It was really romantic. We loved how great the service was. Our server knew the menu so well. He had no problem recommending which appetizer to try and which entree is better than others. We tried escargot which was amazing there!!! My boyfriend absolutely loved his steak with peppercorn sauce. Definitely get the scalloped potatoes! The whole experience was really great and we will definitely return!
