Seems that Bar Solo has changed hands, place seems a lot livelier these days!

The food has some exciting Eastern European dishes (I never had a better Hungarian Goulash in my life!!!) and the live Jazz duet they had live was amazing.

Strongly recommended for a mid week romantic night out...

Good God this place was awful. First - and to be fair - I went there on a dead Sunday between Christmas and New Year: therefore, my friend and I were just about the only people there. I'm sure that it is usually more buzzing.

But the food! I had Moroccan stew, which was tasty enough but, unforgivably for a stew, the meat was rock hard. Clearly it had been hanging around for a long, long time - since before Christmas? It was not even particularly hot (defrosted and reheated?). What's more, it was a tiny portion. My friend had pork with mashed potato, which looked very much like the sort of thing you might get at school (pre-Jamie makeover), or in the 1950s. Utterly insipid. There was a meagre (I mean, really meagre) portion of spinach for £2, and some unappetisng fried plantain for another £2. The house wine was not hideous. But it was utterly bog standard for £14.

The poor dear waitress tried her best; the manager listened to our complaints politely enough, and offered a free pudding, which we declined.

Suicide atmosphere, barely edible food, indifferent service ... Wretched, wretched, wretched. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

I have had a lot of recommendations from friends to try this restaurant, so I finally managed to check it out last week. It was everything I was told it would be! The food is fantastic. I had the Fish Kebab and my friend had the Seabass..i would highly recommend both, the Seabass in particular was delicious! It a great place, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff!

Met a friend at Bar Solo, we had never been before and I was really impressed with the great selection of food and the service was good too. I had yummy salmon fish cakes and wild mushroom risotto, couldn’t believe it for just a tenner. To my surprise a jazz quartet arrived, it was amazing and we ended up staying all night. Would definitely recommend this venue, cant wait to come again to one of their free! music nights on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The only shame was we missed the happy hour which finished at 7.
