My husband and I have never been to Sole in Waterloo, and decided to venture uptown for our anniversary. We had reservations, and were seated immediately. It was surprising to see how busy it was on a Sunday evening, with multiple large groups. Apparently we're...used to waiting longer than we should... over comes Heidi, who introduces herself and confirms that in fact, we have not yet been brought water or had drink orders taken. In no time at all, she spoke to the manager, brought us complimentary drinks, and insisted on serving us this evening (despite having a large group under her care). She was amazing!... Food suggestions, wine pairings and overall attentiveness made for a wonderful anniversary experience. The manager was also sure to come by and apologize for the late start to our dinner, and we were honestly grateful, because it meant having Heidi as our server! The food was exactly what you would expect of a fine dining experience. My husband had the Sunday Prime Rib Feature, with a white bean and kale soup (I tasted it and it was very good/satisfying). I enjoyed the braised beef short ribs, which were so tender that I didn't need a knife! I finished with a happy little desert coma... Sole features 2 of my favourite things... Lemon curd - which was perfectly tart with crispy/soft meringues. BUT THEN.. Heidi also brought a mini Creme brûlée to celebrate our anniversary! We will be back... Heidi, I already know what I'll be ordering ;)More

Valentine's Day dinner turned into a rushed, expensive fast food experience. Restaurant booked two shifts per table on Valentine's day. As soon as we were seated, our host told us that we had 1.5 hr time limit for our dinner, as next patrons were coming...to have their dinner. The menu was pre set, and had a poor choice of entrees and appetizers. Why? Food was almost OK, not thrilling. I believe that everyone wants a special Valentine's day dinner, we go out to celebrate, to have a wonderful evening, tasty food and pleasant atmosphere. Sole Restaurant didn't represent that, seems that the management has no idea a romantic dinner atmosphere. Turned it into a profitable opportunity on that day. Shame, though. My husband wanted to go to Sole, because 20 yrs ago, we had our wedding dinner there. We should have stayed away, now a wonderful memory 20yrs is replaced by that experience. We paid over $250 for the dinner.More

Went for the first time about a month ago. Really enjoyed my roast beef sandwich. This time I had the same thing. I couldn’t put my finger on it but it was disappointing. Came home and checked the menu. It said the sandwich was on...a toasted panini. This time mine was just on a cold, slightly dry bun. It was when I read the menu I remembered how warm and gooey and yummy the first sandwich was. Think I’ll wait until patio season and try something else on the menu.More

Lovely restaurant with a very cozy terrace. We arrived with a party of 17 and no reservation. The owner was very helpful and opened up a room for us; within 10 minutes the table was made and we were seated. Service was great and well-organized...(it is rare to be able to split a bill over 17 persons and even more rare that no input is needed from the customers) and the food was really good (maybe a bit pricey for the quantity, but certainly of good quality). I would recommendMore

Took my sales team for lunch on June 30/22. Horrible service! Servers seemed to go on break after every table visit. We were seated. Waited for server. Ordered water while reviewing menus. Took forever to come back. Took our orders. Requested a wine sample. Dropped...off a sample and disappeared. Didn't wait for us to sample the wine and order. Food took forever to come. The Charcuterie board was a huge disappointment. Ordered a side of scallops. Was charged for a full sized. Used to be a great place! Not going back in a while!More

Came for lunch on a Sunday. We had reservations and were quickly seated. The building is beautiful, nice patio, large windows, beautiful wooden ceiling, etc. Service was OK but a little inattentive at times. We were a group of five and started by sharing the...charcuturie for two which had enough food to get five of us started. It was fresh and delicious. My wife had the frittata and was happy with it. One in our group had the medallions of beef which she described as maybe the best beef and mashed potatoes she ever had. One had the penne carbonara which while very tasty was a woefully small serving. My daughter and I both had the steak sandwich which was the mistake of the meal. A small piece of focaccia (maybe 4" square and not toasted as described on the menu) with a pitiful amount of steak. It was very tasty but not worth the $ 24 price tag. Admittedly we all had a drink and three deserts were ordered but at over $ 300 with tax and tip for lunch, I would have expected more. Many cheers ..........More

Sole is a casual restaurant in a serene and relaxing setting. It features a number of menu selections which avoid the tired choices often found on menus while still staying close enough to familiar for choosy eaters. My dining companion and I both chose salmon,...which was served with beet and squash, and was delicious. We were both delighted with both portion size, taste and presentation. For dessert I chose a chocolate and caramel cheesecake, and my friend chose the creme brulee. Our service was exceptional, and the atmosphere excellent. This restaurant allows you to clearly hear each other, irrespective of other diners (nice and quiet - I'm slightly hearing impaired so this was appreciated).More

What great ambiance, whether you dine inside or outside. Very classy inside, and the patio areas are extremely nice if you are eating outside. We were here for lunch, there were 3 of us and we each had a small pear salad and each added...a different item to the dish, I had salmon. Everything was delicious, our server was very friendly and efficient. Between the excellent food and the beautiful grounds our lunch was a pleasurable experience.More

We had the pleasure of dining here for the first time last night. The restaurant was beautiful inside and outside. It was a very relaxing atmosphere and everything we ordered was excellent! Can’t wait to come back again! Please make the effort to attend. You...won’t be disappointed.More

This was my birthday dinner with my wife. It had been years since we last came in but we were absolutely amazed by the service and quality of food. We had time to properly eat our food without being rushed out the door. My main...course was braised beef and it was so soft and tasty, I could have had seconds. Our waitress was efficient and kind and the atmosphere was buzzing with full capacity. If your looking for fine dining in KW, here is the place to come. ThanksMore

It was easy to make a reservation here. Our Covid passports were checked. We were seated promptly, and service was ok, but a few things forgotten repeatedly. The scallops were lovely, the burrata and tomato salad was very watery and not worth $26.00. The pizza...had a lot of crust on it but was tasteful. Two of us ordered dessert and they were both lovely.More

The ambiance was great and my colleagues had nice dishes. I had the pizza Florentine and it was like it had been made from old dough. I could not eat the outer 5 cm and had trouble cutting the center. I did not say anything...as I did not want to embarrass my host. Do not order the pizza here if what I got is representative.More

Anca#seafood Was magic She made the great food better Had the monk fish and it was spectacular Anca was so knowledgeable and a delight

I went to Sole Restaurant with some friends, and sat down thinking it would be a nice restaurant and great food. IT WAS NOT! The service was slow, the servers weren't all that great at remembering our orders or other people's orders. Our drinks and...coffee took awhile to arrive to the point of it not worth drinking. The food was okay could work on the seasoning abit. But the dessert was amazing.More

My friend and I had the most delectable lunch. I had Ceasar salad and my friend had mussels. We planned on having dessert but the kind waitress brought fresh bread. It tasted as food as dessert! Service was 110%. Very pleasant & professional waitress. She...really seemed interested in her work. The atmosphere was very calming with dimmer lighting and soft music. We loved that we weren't rushed and could r3alky enjoy our visit. We can't wait to go back.More
