Solera runs with a classic fish‑and‑chips menu and an easy pace. Sweets lean classic and not overly rich. Portions are generous yet well judged. Portions suit sharing without tipping heavy. Service stays present without fuss.
Pretty good spot. Amazing with dietary requirements, for the steak I wish they put jus on the side as it was quite sweet and over powering so you couldn't really taste the steak flavour.
The food tasted amazing! Absolutely delicious. We got the chefs menu - for 2 people. Great atmosphere, busy and friendly staff with good knowledge of the food. I would have rated 5/5 but we expected the portions to be a bit bigger and to feel at least a little full at the end of the meal but we unfortunately weren’t. I feel there could have been a little more on the plates!
We celebrated our son's 18th birthday with dinner at Solera and he was not disappointed. The table had the chef's menu. The food was exceptional. My personal favourite was the asparagus dish. We had a great selection of wines to pair and ordered desserts as well. The service had the right touch to match the atmosphere. We will be back, and glad to have such a great dining option in the Mount.
Fantastic food and atmosphere! 2 hats and well deserved. Small portions so order accordingly. Great staff to guide you through! Definitely going back!!!
Love our night - amazing food, drinks and service. Had the early bird 4 course which was delightful. Def be going back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.
Went there last night with a group of networking friends for a set menu dinner. Everything was great. At first I thought the portions were small. However I went home satiated, but not stuffed. All the flavours were on point. There was nothing overly salty or sweet. The wait staff also asked about alergies before the dinner started and swapped out dishes for those that needed it.
This was the most incredible food I have ever had. Hands down THE BEST restaurant in Bay of Plenty. The attention to detail, the amazing service (shoutout to Sam our amazing waiter), beautiful ambience and most importantly how brave and daring they are with their menu and truly trying risky things and challenging your palate. It’s hard to pick the highlight, but if I had to it would be the chocolate brownie with goats milk sorbet; it was sweet, soft and predictable but then also stanky (in the best way), deep and bold with the goats milk sorbet. Also that basque cheesecake with parmesan and truffle is NEXT LEVEL and is an example of a true culinary experience like no other. I can’t wait to come again in the new year! :)
Our experience did not disappoint. My Aperol Spritzer was on point and the Chef’s menu was divine, topped with friendly service. A great selection of dishes, the stand out being the small plates - the balance of flavours and ingredients is masterful. We completed our meal with the custard tart which was perfect, leaving my palate refreshing. A must try dining experience.
My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this gem while searching for an afternoon craft cocktail while on holiday. We sat at the bar and had several amazing cocktails and oysters while chatting with the friendly bartender. We decided to come back for dinner. What a great decision. We split a bottle of red and had the Chef’s choice which was a 4 course journey through their menu. I’m pescatarian and my bf isn’t but they made us each a different course and it was unreal. The cauliflower dish was the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. HIGHLY recommend this place. The service is next level and the food is fantastic.
We started the evening showing up two hours late because I’d made the booking ages ago and as it turns out, can’t read. The host was exceptionally kind and gracious “never mind, you’re here now” and he was just spectacular the whole night. The food is phenomenal, a very very confident chef utilising very bold flavours - there was not a single dish that wasn’t beyond delicious. Even though I live in Auckland, I’ll readily drive to Tauranga and back in a night just to eat here again.
