Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Bar Solita offers a vibrant atmosphere with consistently "great food" and "excellent service." Guests rave about the brunch, especially the Mimosa flight, and the "fantastic" Mediterranean dishes. Although some find the noise levels high and portions small, the "friendly" service and lively setting make it a popular spot.

The food wasn’t good. The French fries and home fries was the best thing we had . The crab omelette was nasty, not a lot of crab, too much spinach and no flavor.

This was my first time for Brunch but been for Happy hour. Brunch was fantastic! We got the Shareable cinnamon bun, Breakfast Burrito, Shrimp and Grits and the Chicken Biscuit. We got the $30 Mimosa Pitcher which was worth the price. Will definitely brunch here again!

We dined at Bar Solita during Richmond Restuarant Week. We made a reservation but had to wait to be seated. Parking is tough so be prepared for that in this area of downtown Richmond. Ambience was okay- noise level is quite loud but probably due to very high ceilings of this lovely historic building. Food was good, nothing spectacular but a fun place to try for RRW.

Enjoyed Fall RRWEEK and the chef out did themselves. Everything was delicious, flavorful and cooked good impress. We enjoyed the Dolmades, Shrimp Spaganaki and Harrisa Wing for apps. The Star was the Spaganaki & Harrissa sauce 😘 8/10 On entrees we had, Zatar chicken — add this to the regular menu, so tasty and the leeks was next level. We also had the Morrocan oxtail, so flavorful. ✨8/10 The dessert, my favorite was the Baklava Pumpkin Pie - definitely a delight ✨ 7/10 I enjoy Bar Solita often, whether for Brunch, Lunch or Dinner the food is always great. We were going to skip Bar Solita for restaurant week, but I’m glad we changed our minds and made them our first stop — definitely check them out the food was BUSSIN (in the best way) And thanks to our server Edwin, he was always right on time and gave great suggestions. Tip him well 😎 Until next time, stop by and grab a meal or two 😊 Honorable mentions - the venue is super cute for date night or with friends. Great for taking memorable pics (Instagrammable) and very spacious. - it’s the Old Popkins Building (historic)

The food was excellent but the service was very slow. Especially for a Monday night when the restaurant wasn't even crowded. It was Restaurant week and I feel like they should have been better prepared.
