I had the pleasure of visiting Solaia for the first time for a Christmas party with the Sullivan County Partnership, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays warm, festive, and inviting. The food was excellent, thoughtfully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Everything from the atmosphere to the service made the evening feel special. It was the perfect setting for a holiday gathering, and I'm so glad my first visit was during such a lovely event. I look forward to returning and highly recommend Solaia to anyone looking for a great dining experience in the area.

What can I say... I never expected epicurean excellence on route 42 in Monticello New York. The delicious Veal Picatta was amazing, the Sea Scallops were from Cape Cos and Mesmer superb with an amazing sweet and tangy sauce. However the Chilean Sea Bass was the pies de resistance I mean its was a heavenly melange os Lemon zest that melted like butter wow. Cute place too sit by the fireplace they have a mixologist serving up espresso Martinis. True Michelin star!!!

For starters the food was phenomenal. Pasta was cooked just right, veal was top notch and the chicken leaves a wonderful and savory flavor that'll make you rethink how you cook your chicken. The drinks were very tasty. The chocolate martini and brandy alexander on the rocks were great! The service was very quick and each server was pleasant. Definitely looking forward to another night of dinner at Solaia. P.s. get the creme brulee my girlfriend loved it!

This is our first visit. The atmosphere immediately calmed me. The lighting is private in character. The service is kind, respectful and knowledgeable. Wonderful. The food is very different to me, but well worth it.

What a hidden gem! Service was personal and attentive without being intrusive. Artichoke appetizer was the best I've ever had. Pollo Martini was delicious. Even the broccoli was blast above average. Coconut gelato made a perfect ending. This one is worth a drive for the experience. A memorable experience to be sure.

We had the absolute best dinner at Soliana. The owner, son and chef all showed an amazing passion for providing a top notch customer dining experience, with perfectly mixed martinis, and exquisitely prepared dishes. No one rushed us and our courses were served with time to enjoy our cocktails and salads before the main entrees. Only regret is that we dont live close enough to come to Soliana every week - it is that good in all the areas that make a great difference experience.
