Stylish Mediterranean spot with creative brunch and a strong bar program; food quality and service can swing from excellent to frustrating, especially at busy brunch.
SOLIS delivers an attractive Mediterranean dining experience with stylish design and a serene terrace, plus attentive service from memorable staff and reliable cocktails. However, inconsistent food quality—particularly at brunch—and service slowdowns during peak times prevent a higher grade. The creative menu and pleasant ambiance make it worth visiting, but uneven execution and premium pricing limit its standing among the area's stronger dining destinations.
Avenue Wagram’s chic Mediterranean dining room feels airy and sunny, with a serene terrace and a bar that regulars rave about. Expect friendly faces and, at brunch, live tunes that set a lively, sociable tone. The cooking leans contemporary Mediterranean with creative twists: vadouvan with octopus, truffle-pea hummus, and fregula risotto alongside eggplant Milanese. The culinary approach leans contemporary fusion: modern accents over classic comfort. Dinner plates come together more consistently; brunch can feel uneven when crowds surge, though the bar’s cocktails are a reliable highlight. Families are welcome, and brunch’s breadth can help picky eaters, but note a pricey kids menu was reported and seafood or bold spices may challenge cautious palates. For children, safer bets include cacio e pepe, fries, and simple mezzes; brunch sweets often land well when available.
