My family and I were staying in Baton Rouge for the night near Solera, so we decided to give it a try. We had brussel sprouts, lamb, and savory cheese cake. The menu reminded us of our time in Spain. Every single dish exceeded our expectation. We appreciated the sauces. The service was exceptional. Our child was hangry, and the server must have picked up on it, so brought out our child’s meal right away. The rest of the service was impressive, too. We will visit this place again.

A friend and I dropped in during happy hour. The drinks were great (and strong)! We has the French 75, Whiskey Sour, and an Old Fashioned. We also had the crab cakes, grazing board, brussels sprouts, bread pudding, cheese board. The crab cakes were delicious and they didn’t skimp on the crab! The boards were satisfying as well. The brussels and bread pudding were delicious. We ordered the tomato toast, but it was lacking. The toast alone was good, but the tomato topping was bland and underwhelming.

Loving this new Solera!! The steak flat bread was like butter!! The dates were wrapped in a bacon, and cooked down in a harissa sauce, a perfectly juicy and spicy bite. My husband had the burger – served on a cutting board and stacked up high topped with a golden fried egg. He refused to share lol – The service was so pleasant and moved at just the right speed! Bonus tip: they now have 1/2 priced wine bottles when you order their cheese board! We went with Silver Oak 2017 – A great break in the middle of the week! Just what we needed to make it to Friday! We will be back!

What a hidden gem. I was in town for work when I decided to stop in and was extremely happy with the whole experience. The wait staff was very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable of the menu.

There were 4 of us so we got a number of appetizers and entrees, all of which were excellent. For me the highlights were; Apps: the Bacon Wrapped Dates & Plancha Shrimp
Entree: Beef Cheeks & Redfish on the Half Shell (this was incredible!)
Desserts: Bread Pudding & Cheese cake
oh and don’t forget the GUMBO it is a must have!

They also had a great wine selection which was a happy complement to the meal.

Overall I will absolutely be back next time I’m in town. What a great experience!

Visited for a Friday dinner, expecting it to be busy, but there were plenty of open tables. Cool spot, split between a restaurant and bar with seating. Service was friendly and paced well. I would like to give higher points for the food, but the dishes were excessively salty. They seemed to be prepared well, but among the Brussels sprouts, paella, white bean soup, and cauliflower only the cauliflower wasn’t over the top with sodium.

The food was really good. Chef knows what he is doing!!!
We were there for restaurant week, so if the items are in the regular menu, they need to be.

Restaurant Review: Solera – Baton Rouge, LA

Service
The overall service at Solera was excellent. The staff was warm and attentive, ensuring a welcoming experience throughout the visit. Morgan, one of the managers, was exceptionally helpful and attentive. Bella, the bartender, was friendly and demonstrated consistent effort in checking in, which added to the overall positive experience. However, the male (possibly front-of-house manager), while not rude or disrespectful, but could improve guest interaction to match the high standard set by the rest of the team.

Ambiance
Solera offers a charming, local wine bar atmosphere. The space is relaxed, with music that enhances the ambiance without overwhelming conversation. Live TVs are available for those wanting to catch a game, but the environment remains serene and far from noisy. The large wine selection and comfortable seating further elevate the dining experience, making it an ideal spot for a casual yet refined outing.

Food
• Steak and Mahon (7/10): This dish featured a flatbread topped with cheese, steak, and greens. The flavors were enjoyable, but the dish lacked moisture, leaving it slightly dry. A complementary sauce could significantly enhance its appeal.
• Fried Cauliflower (7/10): While flavorful, the dish fell short in texture. A lack of crispiness detracted from the overall experience, leaving the cauliflower brittle. A firmer texture would have elevated this plate.
• Piquillo Peppers (8/10): This was the standout dish, with a delightful balance of flavors. The combination of sweet honey, mild peppers, and crispy cooked cheese was a treat for the palate.

Overall
Solera is a restaurant worth revisiting. While some dishes could benefit from minor adjustments, the menu’s variety and creativity make it an exciting place to explore. Several visually appealing dishes coming out of the kitchen caught my eye, and I look forward to trying them on a return visit. Solera’s inviting ambiance, attentive service, and diverse offerings make it a gem in Baton Rouge’s dining scene.

Pretty nice experience. Patatas bravas were excellent. Piquillo peppers were excellent. Fried cauliflower was excellent. Spanish Caesar had no flavor at all. Service was excellent. Waiter brought my girl and I bigger water cups because we can drink more than a camel. Prices were good. Bathrooms were clean.

They cater more to people who want to drink lots of cocktails, so if you’re there mainly for the food then prepare to get kind of ignored. The savory food is pretty good, though I’ve had better tapas elsewhere. Dessert just didn’t do it for me; neither the manchego cheesecake nor the bread pudding was sweet enough, and they were both kind of bland. The decor is really nice and creates a relaxing atmosphere.

It’s great for hanging out with a bunch of friends where you want to drink a lot and have a few snacks. Not that great for dinner with your spouse if neither of you drink. If you’ve never had tapas, definitely give this place a try at least.

It’s a lovely tasting bar! Pretty building, lovely scenic atmosphere, very attentive staff. Food wise, I can most recommend the Piquillo Peppers! They were certainly the stand-out dish to my mind! But the brussel sprouts and Spanish dates were also wonderful! The only thing I’d caution against was the Manchego cheesecake. It tasted more like a savory block of cheese than a desert; at least when we went.
