From start to finish it was a disappointment. I would love to review the spinach and artichoke dip that we ordered but it never arrived at our table. I ordered a wedge salad and it came out with nuts mixed in with the bacon. No item descriptions on the menu and nothing detailing that it contained nuts so I had to send it back due to a nut allergy. The burger arrived and it was still raw inside, but it was slightly mode edible than the raw inside pork chop. Nothing like eating a couple bites of food and then cutting a piece off the other end to find it uncooked inside. They did earn the single star because they were kind enough to not charge me for the appetizer and they discounted the raw pork chop. Two other tables had to send their food back in the brief time we were in there, as it didn't take long for us to eat the little food we could safely. read more

Great choice of appetizers and the environment was great. The food was surprisingly good, and well priced

Shrimp and grits are great. Pimento cheese appetizer to die for. Service and food was excellent. Make sure to order dessert.

Mare Sol - Italian Near Me - Lagrange, Georgia

My go to restaurant. Service and new Chef Ashley superb... what an asset they are to Lagrenge.

The food was great! The service was great I definitely recommend this restaurant! And will be back

What a delightful way to late lunch with family on the patio. Our server was excellent. This place will be THE place to be in LaGrange after the Covid passes. Nice bar, large dining space. The menu has tasty salads, sandwiches, big plates, appetizers, local draft beers. The sandwiches come with fries (terrific, hand-cut) but they'll substitute salad (Greek, chef or Caesar) if you prefer. Food is good, reasonably priced; fun atmosphere; convenient in town. Glad we stopped in. read more

I love Mare Sol! The food has always been very good and Chef Devon and his staff are top notch!

My favorite restaurant in Lagrange. The Ribeye steak with the sauce they make for it is among the best I've ever had! Well worth the $!

Love the food, atmosphere and even the price for unique and well seasoned meals. I come for the Specialty Menu. It's different each time I come. I love gourmet and tasty home cooked meals that are a sep above for this area! read more

As an out-of-towner, this fantastic café/bistro had three very fine offerings on the menu tonight: Lamb ribs. Best I've ever had. Crab cakes. Daughter Lily says, best she's ever had. And equal compliments to the remoulade. Buffalo quesadillas. Son Walker gave these very high marks Complete disclosure: this place is run by Chase and Charles Howard, cousins of mine. But since I live in Los Angeles and have not been to Lagrange for 20 years, I feel I am sufficiently removed from the family to be able to report here as a independent and equal opportunity foodie. read more

This place literally has the best food, chef and service I have had in such a long time!! It is so refreshing! I will come her Everytime I am in the Lagrange area from now on! Superb on all levels!! read more

Came here two nights in a row because it was so good. Vodka Penne with chicken is the way to go. They have a great selection of local brews too, if you are into craft beer. Wild Leap is just down the street and isn't open yet but they sell it here and it is great! Customer service is great as well. We had Jennifer as our waitress and she was awesome! She gave me a glass for Wild Leap because I loved it so much. July 2017 read more

Let me start by saying this one thing: no salt, pepper or extra seasoning needed!! Every dish is perfectly seasoned and the portions are large. We had a party of five and each of us ordered something different, each dish was amazing! I ordered the filet, it came with mashed potatoes and green beans, I was the first one to devour my plate and I felt no shame whatsoever!! I live in Cali but the next time I'm here visiting family, I will definitely make a point to eat here again! read more

Our server, Hamilton, was very friendly but not intrusion. The food was fantastic. I had the Greek flatbread and a blueberry martini. My husband had the burger with the foie gras and the pork rinds. All of our food was perfectly cooked and delicious. We live an hour away and we'll be back! read more

I only wish you were in Columbus, we need an amazing establishment like you! Great wine & beer list and every single dish we had was spectacular! There was four of us all ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing and we were all blown away. Great service and if you were closer you'd be my go to spot! read more

We were looking for something different and this place hit the mark. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. But the food (from start to finish) will have us coming back. They offer local brews and several locally grown products. We plan on a day trip next time to visit the surrounding stores. read more

This restaurant was in the old location for Tulla's, which was a great place back in 2008 when we last visited. My husband and I were in town for a wedding and decided to give this new place a try. We saw that they had a Tapas menu and were very excited to try a few dishes. We ordered the Southwest Chicken spring rolls, the vegetable platter and the cheese plate. We also ordered a bottle of wine (their selection was limiteed to 4 reds and 5 whites). After a very long wait, the food arrived along with the bottle of wine. The cheese plate was no better than what you can buy in your local convenience store. The so-called spring roll was basically a flour tortilla that looked like it was frozen and then heated up. The vegetable platter - well, I wish I had taken a photo - it was so unappetizing. The biggest complaint we have is that the food was bland and tasteless. The service was very slow and not very friendly. I will admit it was a Friday night and crowded with families. Perhaps this place is better suited to pizzas and hamburgers (also on their menu), but we were scared to try anything else. read more

A group of idealists are trying to bring a higher quality of food and a better dining experience to LaGrange. That shouldn't be too hard, since the vast majority of places to eat in this town are fast food or corporate chain restaurants. Just stick to the basics. I was very impressed with the trendy atmosphere and general layout at Mare Sol. I also liked their beer and wine choices. The service was prompt and polite, and the menu is a careful mix of old favorites for the pickier eaters and some new things to try for the more adventurous. They seem to want to steer you towards the tapas and the pizza (both are very decent), but also do a daily special (which you should ALWAYS get). There are some good things going on here, just not many bold things going on. But this town isn't really ready for bold food, in my opinion. Mare Sol is giving them some options to explore, though. read more

Meh...was not wild about this place. The food was ok, nothing standout. Our server was terrible...his appearances at the table were few and far in between. The only saving grace was a female server that checked in on us several times and seemed to light a fire under him to do his job. I got the Greek salad and was pretty neutral about it. My boss got the Penne Vodka and thought it was just alright - it was spicy without warning. We dined here simply because we were in the area, but next time I'm out this way I will be giving a different establishment my business. read more

was in town for a friends wedding, and stopped by for a quick lunch... the food was great and so was the atmosphere... ordered the fish and chips and it was so yummy!! read more

The lone young waitress was very nice and pleasant; beer flights enjoyable and being the only folks there for a 3p.m. reservation was kinda cool. Apparently they changed hours after we made reservations but still honored it for Valentine's Day. The Greek flatbread was delicious. The low rating, sadly, is for the entrees. Had HIGH expectations for the trout as we'd had it when first were there and it was delicious. It was swimming -- no drowning -- in oil/butter as were the rice, greens under it. It was puddled up to the edge of the plate. It did not taste like trout, simply some white fish. I hope that wasn't the case, but seriously all we could taste was the greasiness of everything. 100% should have sent it back...or at least taken a picture to show readers what it looked like. Really bummed we didn't. It was SO BAD. We opted to prop one side of the plate up with a napkin so the oil/butter would run to one side and picked out a few edible bites. We asked the waitress if she thought the oil-filled trout plate looked good, she shook her head no. Asked her to take our 'finished' plate to show chef. She returned 5-10 minutes later with lava cake, but didn't say anything about what chef said. We asked. She said, he said it was butter (we thought it was EVOO) and he apologized...that was it. Spent the evening/night with a bad stomach reaction after eating the food. The fish and chips were passable, nothing special. The chocolate lava cake, presented well, but was very dry and the chocolate solid. No lava running here. Tasted like it was leftover from another day and frozen or refrigerated. read more

Mare Sol is a great representation of LaGrange. It has its own flare, unique atmosphere & a perfect location. The menu is sure to please anyone with delicious flatbreads, salads, fried southern quail, steak, gourmet sandwiches and hamburgers, plus Shrimp & grits! Daily specials, too! read more

This place was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing! The food was amazing! The prices were good for the quality of food that you get. Who would have thought that such a wonderful gem could be found in downtown LaGrange. I felt like I was at a hip spot in Atlanta. I had the stuffed mushrooms and the greek salad and didn't regret my choice at all. There are so many yummy looking things on the menu that you could eat here numerous times and have something new to try each time. Will definitely return next time I am in town. read more

Mare Sol - Stuffed mushrooms to die for! - Italian Near Me - Lagrange, Georgia

Up scale budget friendly relaxed dinning. Their shrimp and grits redefines the verb "elevates". Their beer menu and pricing gives you 16 reasons not too leave. Update! We ate here 3 nights in a row. No disappointments in any category. The first review was based on night 1. read more

We love the variety of fresh, locally-sourced, food that Mare Sol offers. The martinis never disappoint, either. Some favorites include the pimiento cheese appetizer, the pork skins, and the Cobb salad. I enjoy the salmon entree for dinner. read more

Well worth the drive from Columbus, Georgia up to La Grange. This restaurant has a diner vibe, although we love to sit at the bar and enjoy our food. Their menu is fantastic with specials regularly. We love Jen, our friendly bartender and server-one of the hardest workers we have ever met! The food is DELICIOUS!! The appetizers, sides and main course items are so good we have trouble deciding which one to choose when we eat there. We are regulars now and look forward. to going. They have great service with drinks and great food you can't go wrong with that! read more

Very nice ambiance and sophisticated menu. They had a great selection of brews . Creme brûlée was fab!

So Good! Delicious food and the drinks where spot on! Sangria and Margaritas where perfect! Pasta dishes and flatbread pizzas were delicious! Our server was super sweet and attentive. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for an enjoyable dining experience. For Friday or Saturday night dining; reservations are a must to avoid the long wait! read more

My friend and I are here today for lunch. I had the Greek flatbread. It was excellent. The dessert was a peanut butter brownie pie. It was light and delicious. It was better than cheesecake and not heavy. I would recommend it. read more

Very good find on Main St. in LaGrange. The girl at the brewery up the street recommended it. Nice menu that leans toward Italian, but offers a variety of other choices. The grilled vegetable plate was really good. I'm typically not a pesto fan, but their's is awesome. It was pretty crowded too, so that's good. read more

Outstanding beef stroganoff with very tender steak tips, with a red wine mushroom sauce with carmelized onions that is rich and full of flavor. All that was on top of freshly made pasta on a daily basis.The tomato basil bisque soup is full of flavors and lovely texture of real tomatoes, garlic and shallots that you won't find at most restaurants . The fresh basil on top really adds to the flavor. And now for a slice of peach pie ala mode. read more

I'm giving this 3 stars simply due to service. I sat at the bar, and was spoken to three times. Not even when I first entered as I stared around wondering where a hostess was. Once to order, after waiting 15 minutes while many girls walked by, once when my food came and then finally to receive a check after I had finished eating about 20 minutes ago. It's a free for all in there. This is an area they need to work on. The food was good, not over the top, but satisfying. Such a cute, quaint town and place and I was disappointed after hearing good things. After speaking to some people today, they all agreed the on the service aspect. Since I travel here for work, I'll give it another try. But if it continues, your management should step in. read more

I've been here twice in the past couple of weeks: once for lunch with my roommate and once to listen to my friend's acoustic set and have drinks (the Moscato was to die for!). Now, I'm somewhat biased, because two of my friends work here. One of them was our server at lunch. My shrimp and grits was absolutely delicious! When I went to see the same friend perform the other night (live music on Thursdays!), it took a little while to get drinks because there wasn't someone always behind the bar. However, instead of being charged for each glass of wine, the server/bartender just charged me for half the bottle, which was less expensive. Love it! I'll be back soon to hear another performance and have some wine and tapas! read more

We took our college son here at his recommendation and it was wonderful. The service was perfect - attentive but not overbearing. Even happy enough to bring samples of wine for my wife. Great selection on beer & wine and the food was as good as we've had in the past several years - even for a small town - this place is a standout win. I can't wait to go back! read more

Don't get the hype. Menu is overpriced, and the food is not very good. If you feel like dropping $30+ on something you'll struggle to finish or have to pretend to like in front of friends, go right ahead. Good wait staff and nice atmosphere are all the save this place. read more

We had a party of five who ordered multiple appetizers and craft beers before our main course. Everything we sampled was stellar and appreciated the wait staff timing the main course until we had time to chat and consume the appetizers. The dishes were delicious and obviously prepared with quality ingredients. The atmosphere is bright and airy with a unique and lovely decor. What a great option for eating in LaGrange. read more
