Sol Island Bar and Grill

I discovered this place about a year ago and it is now, hands down, my favorite restaurant in Athens. I consider myself a foodie, and I'm not sure how I survived so long without trying it out. I try to get something different each time I go, and every single thing I have tasted there has been phenomenal. It is small, so reservations are a good idea, however I have never had a problem getting a seat. Staff is also very laid back, friendly, and efficient.

I am somewhat of a picky eater, so trying something different was a little scary for me. I had never had Cuban food before, and my boyfriend surprised me by taking me to Sol for a quiet dinner. What a phenomenal experience. We started off with the Chips & Salsa, which were unique, and offered a wide palette of flavors. Next came the House Salad, mine with an unforgettable Creamy Parmesan Garlic sauce. By the time my entree came, I didn't think the food could get any better.. I was wrong. I ordered a creamy pasta, made with Snowville milk, an array of spices, and tofu.. I wish I could remember the name of the dish because it was truly magnificent.. To top off the great food, our server, most likely the manager, was incredible. She was so friendly, had a vast knowledge of the food, and truly understands hospitality.. I have never been so pleased with service in Athens, OH. ... The food is also very well-priced, considering what you get. Thank you so much. I will be coming back as much as I can!

The Sol Sampler appetizer was glorious as were both of the house made salad dressings. Service was typical of a high quality Athens establishment, awesome. The entree was nothing short of memorable. You can't go wrong with Sol.
