    This restaurant definitely has top notch quality of both food and service!
    I have been to Sole for both brunch and dinner.

    They were both good but if i were to only choose one, i would definitely go there for brunch! It was all worth it.

    Brunch:
    1) Baked Crepe and 2) Eggs Benedict are AMAZING.

    Dinner:
    I ordered the Seared Sea Scallops as my appetizer, Roasted Chicken Breast as my main and creme brule for dessert. They are all fairly decent.

    I love this restaurant. You definitely eat what you pay for!

    The servers at Sole are very kind and polite. They are efficient and reliable. I love all the smiles on their faces, so warm!

    They were also kind enough to help us take a couple pictures for memories.

    Great atmosphere, great service and best of all amazing food! While in town for a wedding we were eager to find a good brunch. Success! We couldn't decide between Lobster benedict or little steak and eggs. Final decision, get both and share.

    The lobster benny was so rich and delicious, perfectly cooked fingerling potatoes.
    Little steak and eggs consisted of perfectly cooked bacon wrapped tenderloins nestled atop corned beef mashed potatoes topped with a sunny side up quali egg. Melt in your mouth goodness!

    The pastry basket with assorted mini muffins, streudels and banana bread was an added touch to our morning cappucinos.

    If this place wasn't so far away, I'd be back to check out their evening menu and wine bar.

    Unfortunately, a disappointing experience.

    Went for dinner on strong recommendations that Sole had great food, great wine selection, and great ambiance.

    The wine selection was indeed extensive. The Saturday night crowd was a blend of casually dressed diners and those who obviously were out for a special occasion. The soft-lighting, exposed wood beams, warm colors, and wine racks, made me think I had come to the right place for a delicious, relaxed meal. (The patio looked particularly enticing.)

    But then the food came out.

    The presentation struck me first. My husband's steak was stacked on top of a half-yellowed piece of broccoli and a few other whole veggies. Not the most appetizing plate to look at.

    My roasted chicken stuffed with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes sounded mouth-watering on the menu, but when it came out it was underwhelming. A dollop of garlic mashed potatoes (the best thing on the plate) with a heap of limp greens and an anemic piece of chicken. (Granted, chicken is not the most exciting thing to order on a menu, but goat cheese is my weakness.) I do not mind spending a lot on a great meal, however I definitely did not feel that my dish was worth the 27 dollar price tag.

    Dinner did end up on a good note, though - with a deliciously rich piece of chocolate truffle cake. A decent dessert and a good cup of coffee can cover a multitude of dining sins.

    Perhaps my high expectations doomed the place from the start, but I left with little desire to return any time soon. I wouldn't tell someone not to go to Sole, but I'd give a more cautious endorsement than the friends who so strongly recommended it to me in the first place.

    Not a bad place in Waterloo...particularly because its a stone's throw from where I always end up crashing.  They do have a nice wine and beverage list, and I really enjoyed my white wine sangria. It was filled with fresh strawberries and mango chunks.  Boozy woozy!

    I had the burger stuffed with goat cheese, with roasted tomatoes and pesto...it was moist, flavourful, and very delicious.  Sweet potato fries with a side of lemon aioli, ditto ($16).
    My friend had the Shrimp Nicoise, which she loved.  It looked very fresh and light and delicious.  I've also heard amazing things about the lobster clubhouse ($21).  

    We enjoyed our food, and the back patio is lovely!  Its not cheap, but the quality and experience was good.

    Since this was really the only restaurant I visited for dinner in Waterloo, to me, it's as good as it gets!  The atmosphere in the old building is welcoming, airy (but some areas are cozy), warm, and charming.  The little wine bar area is comfortable and has a muted TV showing sports.  They play a variety of music including soft rock and international mixes.  Their menu is creative spins of local and international comfort foods/favorites and their specials are plenty and mouth watering!  What I really wanted to order was a sampler of their specials!  Instead I ordered the pasta and pork medallion special with tomatoes, mushrooms, and squash "salsa".  It was very flavorful!  The staff was very welcoming and accommodating.
