a friend of mine and i popped in here randomly when we had semi-plans with a group of friends a couple blocks away. we decided to stay. the food was delicious and our bartender paired us with a wine in our price range that was perfect. we were both surprised at how pleased we were with the bottle since we have tastes that tend to run opposite but somehow our host (Yann) was able to solve the quandry. everyone working there was pleasant despite being somewhat busy. in addition the food was well made, tasty and the portions were right on considering the food was very rich. I had been testing a couple of wines bar recently and this one was easily my favorite. the best thing about it was the fact that the outside was deceptively plain compared to the lovely indirect lighting and general layout. in conclusion i was back there less than a week later for my birthday. (btw the wine pour was what a wine pour is supposed to be..unless you are a hummer-toting-big-mac-type)
Pros: service, ambiance, food
Cons: it might get busy if people catch on

I loved that I could order little bites, like fries. Impressive wine list, cool decor. Convenient location, too. Sleek interior , authentic menu.
Cons: None

The wine list at Solex is what should matter most and it doesn't disappoint, the great sommelier help was also appreciated: sometimes you could get confused only to read on paper what should be explained by an expert. But the food was the surprise!! Classic French fares in a new and modern presentation, almost a mix of Tapas and Nouvelle cuisine. The ambiance is lovable and so different that you feel like in a movie. Overall great experience, even if you pay a heavy price for a wine bar.
Pros: wine list, food and decor
Cons: high prices

The space is nice- in a cold sort of way. Wine choices are good- not great. I had a couple of nice glasses-but at 12 plus dollars for about a 3 to 3.5 ounce pour they really should be ashamed when the standard is 4-5 ounces!
