Last night my partner and I had the BEST meal that we've had in ages at the wonderful Greta Solomon's! It's impossible to put into words how good the food was. The flavours were incredible - deep and well-developed. The service, lead by the gorgeous and brilliant Darlene Mitchell, was smooth, friendly and polished. The lamb tartare surprised me with the combination of cool minty raita, cumin and harissa dancing together on the plate. I actually got all verklempt when I finished my octopus and saffron rice dish, both because of the perfect little burst of cilantro that finished off my last bite, and because then there was no more left. The cocktails are to die for, especially the lavender sidecar. The wine list is superbly curated. For dessert, we had creme brule and beignets and couldn't have imagined a more delicious way to finish such a meal. I can't praise this restaurant enough. Even the music was perfect, playing classic old Serge Gainsbourg and Edith Piaf tunes. Greta Solomon's is such a treat, and we'll be recommending it to everyone we possibly can!
Great food and cocktails. Servive was also great. A small room but very nicely appointed. The menu featured lots of great dishes. They are small plates for sharing and everything we had (which was almost the entire menu) was very delicious. The wine list is good but could stand to have some less costlier wines or have a corkage fee for bringing your own (they might I don't actually know).
Everything about this place is excellent. The food, the atmosphere, the wine list and the warm service. Highly recommend to anyone with the smarts to check out the East side food scene.
