The pricing is moderately high, but the quality and the amount of food are perfect, making it well worth the expense. Sol St. Pete prides itself on offering a dining experience that caters to a variety of dietary needs without sacrificing taste or presentation.

A Delectable Culinary Adventure

Sol’s ever-changing menu features a wide array of dishes that are sure to delight your taste buds. The Mushroom Bruschetta starter, featuring herbed lion’s mane mushrooms, house-made millet and flax crostinis, and cherry tomatoes, offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The crispness of the crostinis perfectly complements the softness of the mushrooms and the freshness of the cherry tomatoes.

The Sol House Salad, made with baby greens, seasonal produce, fresh herbs, imported sheep pecorino romano, and the restaurant’s signature aged balsamic vinaigrette, is a light and flavorful option. The combination of seasonal ingredients ensures that each bite is packed with a variety of flavors, while the croutons add a satisfying crunch.

For main courses, the Charming Fresh Chilean Sea Bass, pan-seared and baked in a lemon herb brown butter with seasonal puree, seasonal vegetables, and blistered cherry tomatoes, melts in your mouth with each bite. The delicate flavors of the fish are enhanced by the rich, zesty lemon herb brown butter, while the puree and vegetables provide a wholesome accompaniment.

The Fresh Shrimp Alfredo is another standout dish, featuring colossal Key West shrimp, easy-to-digest Alfredo-ish sauce made with goat and sheep cheese, brown rice spaghetti, toasted millet breadcrumbs, and fresh herbs. The creamy sauce perfectly complements the succulent shrimp, and the pasta offers a satisfying, filling meal.

While the desserts, such as the warm chocolate chip cookie and crave carrot cake, cater more to health-conscious diners with their less sweet profiles, they still provide a satisfying end to a delightful meal.

Refreshing Mocktails and Allergy-Friendly Beverages

The Livener and Social mocktails were bubbly, delicious, and beautifully presented in Manhattan glasses. Sol also offers a separate wine list with vegan, no-sugar-added, no-sulfite-added, biodynamic, small-batch, family-owned wines, as well as hard cider and hard kombucha. These carefully curated beverages ensure that even those with dietary restrictions can enjoy a drink with their meal.
