Guess we lucked out and got to park right outside, but people were literally parked all over the place when we left - I can see how parking would be an issue. We got there third, friends were already sitting when we got there. Best sushi we had in a year here. They had sake, sold out of their good stuff. The volcano roll was super hot as there was jalepeno in it - painful but good. They had a happy hour menu of buy-one get one half off which we hit up. Key lime pie was out of a box but it was tasty and had a good crust. read more

Tonight a friend and I came out to Sole for a community event. This was my first time coming to this restaurant so I really wasn't too sure what to expect. For it being downtown on a weeknight, parking was a bit busier than you would expect, but it was definitely not as bad as it could have been. Our server Mckarti was super sweet and kind and she was trying her best to get through each and every guest's needs. For a Thursday night, it was a lot more packed than I would have expected so I have to give the servers some credit for trying to get through all the customers in a timely manner and being very attentive to all the tables. As for the food and drinks, we had a good variety and some of it was really delicious and some of it was pretty disappointing. I started out with a Kiwi Martini. Y'all, this was probably one of the best cocktails that I've had in a restaurant! It was one of those drinks that it so good that it could mess you up because of how good it is that you can't even taste the alcohol lol. I would definitely go back just for that drink alone! For food, I started out with the Shrimp Tempura sushi roll. With my husband being from California, we are both kind of sushi snobs lol. So trust me when I say that this was not good sushi. It was very underwhelming not only in flavor but also in size. It was definitely not worth it. Next came the Peach Moscato. As someone who enjoys drinking, I was pretty disappointed in finding out that this was more of a sweet champagne rather than a wine. There was no hint of peach aside from the smell and it was way to carbonated. I definitely would not recommend getting this. Lastly, my friend and I decided to split the Chicken BLT with cheese and bacon. This was by far my favorite part of the night, it was extremely delicious and mouthwatering and the portion was really good for the price of this entrée. So as I said before, some good and some bad. So with all that was said and experienced, my favorite thing overall was definitely the cocktail and most likely the biggest reason on why I will be coming back and bringing family to this restaurant when they come visit. Would I recommend it as a place for sushi? Definitely not! But it is good when it comes to American styled cuisine! I will definitely be making a trip back with my in laws and family when they come to visit but for any other time I would like to come, it is highly likely that this is an ideal restaurant for date nights without the kids! read more

The food and vibe here is my go to when going being downtown Augusta. The setting is perfect. I would recommend you try this with your friends or family, I'm sure you would love it day or night read more

First visit, stopped by here before going to Garden City Social. Very cool atmosphere! The friends we were with did eat sushi, not my preference but it certainly looked good. The food that was coming out to other tables looked amazing, definitely going back. The prices were also reasonable. This might have to be our go to versus Whiskey Bar. Trent was a great server!! I will probably bump it to a five star once we get a chance to try the food. read more

What happened to Sole? This place used to be classier. Once upon a time the clientele dressed for an evening out; now they walk in with pajama pants. The staff wore pressed dress shirts and clean attire. Friday I walked into a restaurant selling face masks at the bar and a staff that looked like they all just rolled out of bed; given the one member of management I did come across resembled a tired trucker more so than a restaurant manager so I guess there might have been a theme to the evening the public wasn't made aware about. The food, itself, was great. The drinks were found lacking as I basically was given a $9 glass of ice with a sprinkle of beverage, but hey, it didn't really matter as I was entertained by the lack of civility from the serving staff as they basically ran customers over as the customers walked to and from the restrooms. I was even honored enough to witness a server put a diner's plate down on a adjacent empty table so he could finally put his mask on before reaching their table. Our server was friendly; no up selling and clearly poorly trained, but given what I witnessed, she was doing the best she could with limited resources. I still left her a 18% tip but let it be known, I did that because it is my custom not because I received service deserving more than a 10% tip. I shall miss the Sole of past, but I assure you change is overdue at the Sole I visited. read more

This is my first day in Augusta and I was very surprised to hear they have a local sushi spot. When I walked in you immediately feel the energy of the place. They have a large bar with inside seating and outside seating that doubles as a late night hangout spot. The service was great and we quickly ordered a spinach dip appetizer and some sushi rolls. The spinach dip was creamy and topped with mozzarella cheese and a good about of sour cream mixed into the base. It was a solid start and seasoned well. Then the sushi arrived on beautiful plates and enticing fashion. The harsh truth is to monitor expectations. I am In a very southern town and looking to my left everyone making my sushi was under 20 years old and probably has never worked in a sushi restaurant in any capacity. Keeping this in mind the rolls themselves are just at par and yummy enough to enjoy your food with some friends. Not sushi to run home and beg your friends at work the next day to try. The rice was dry and over cooked. I also have questions if it was sushi rice or not as the starch content seemed rather low as the rolls fall apart easy. The fish to rice ratio is heavily in favor of the rice and you do t get a rich flavor of fish in each bite. Most of the rolls have very little actual fish/ seafood in them. Also I always worry about the authenticity of sushi recipes when all the rolls have cream cheese and avocado in them. Seems to be a crutch of American sushi chefs that lack experience to develop good sushi recipes. All in all it's a great spot for the town and the sushi is just what it needs to be but would never stand up in a competitive city market. read more

WOW! Tastefully thought out and executed. Kudos to the master mind behind this fabulous big city entertainment spot. This place takes downtown to the next level. Every employee and manger exude exceptional customer service. Their attention to detail shows in all aspects of the establishment. Management takes time to create seasonal specialty drinks, that continue to express their posh spin on casual. Put this place on your bucket list and take a friend! read more

I really must learn to go with my first mind I should have just did the trek to Evans for sushi. But I was exhausted after a long shift and wanted sushi in my life. So I dropped my tired bones into a chair at the bar and was greeted by Dylan. He was a very attentive bartender even when my salad came out with cheese, I don't eat, he was very kind to have another one made for me. It happened to be buy one get one half off certain sushi rolls. I ordered 3 sadly so, the rice tasted a day old but the fish tasted fresh. Talk about a oxymoron of what you are putting in your mouth. I munched thru it and quickly left. It's a convenient location for downtown but just not worth the stop. read more

After just one visit, this restaurant has now become on of my favorite places to eat in Augusta! The food and service were great. My party and I arrived on a Friday night with reservations, but it turned out that we accidentally made our reservations for their other location. No worries! Even though the restaurant was very busy, the hostess made sure we were still seated promptly and honored our reservation still! Now on to the food. This is a sushi restaurant, but the tapas looked so awesome that we did not even get around to ordering sushi. We ordered the Jerk Shrimp Tacos, Buffalo Chicken Nachos, Spinach Dip, Gyoza(dumplings), and the Grit Fritters. All were amazing. My favorite were the Grit Fritters. Next time we'll hopefully not get full and be able to order sushi as well. We will definitely be going back. read more

Me and my friends had a great time, our server was named Faith and she recommended the blueberry mule and it was absolutely amazing! She has excellent service and makes the experience even better! read more

Really cool place. Nice vibe and a friendly wait staff. Had the sushi and it was excellent. Will definitely come back for more on my next travels through Georgia. read more

Food is good and so is the service. I would suggest going early as they do get pretty busy!

The food was really good but the service was the worst! The waitress said it was her second day or some crap, but here's my thing and it may be a little harsh. We were there on a Friday night. If the staff knows that she's confused and doesn't know how to do her job don't have her working multiple tables on a busy night train her during the slow times. She would ask us a question then walk away before we could answer then took 20 mins to get us a water that was ten feet away and even then only had one of the 3. Got our orders wrong both drink and food, it was just a bit of a disaster for her and all these other waitresses are just standing around pretty much watching it happen. Also the bartender isn't very good either my margarita tasted like water with a pinch of lemon no tequila involved. BUT!!! My sushi was delicious! read more

The grit fritter was delicious but a tad too much salt in the batter. The stuffed tomatoes was amazing. We ordered sushi and you definitely get what you paid for... Quality. Also, try their drinks.

Service was great. Food was decent. We had the grit fritters for an appetizer. The flavor was solid but they need some texture. We also had 4 sushi rolls. The Firecracker was a win, the Dragon, the Pepperwod and Gamecock were okay. If we come back we will try some of the other stuff. read more

There were 14 of us and, after a short delay, we were quickly seated. Be sure to bring your photo ID! Our server checked the ID of everyone who ordered alcohol. Speaking of service - - excellent. So, the food arrived together for all of us. Hot and ready to go. I had the Chicken Florentine and it was excellent! I think between us all we had quite a variety from the menu. To a personal everyone enjoyed what they had. When I come back to Augusta I'll be back. td;Dr excellent food great service, reasonable prices read more

I recommend this spot for GREAT SUSHI and AWESOME STEAK!!!!! They have a tasty peach moscato and a great pear cider at the bar. The outside patio is a very nice and comfortable setting. Restaurant is always clean and staff is always helpful. read more

Sole is not just a restaurant, it is an experience. As much as I enjoy hanging out in downtown Augusta I was missing out on one of the city's best restaurants. I think a restaurant should excite all of your senses and Sole delivers. My visit on 23 Feb was my first time here and I was note ready for such a large classy well put together restaurant. It has a large outdoor area, with fire pits. The bar has more stools than some restaurants have tables. The amount of TV's in the bar area rival many of the TVs in the sports bars in this area. The staff is very friendly, courteous and they know the menu. Sushi, nachos, tacos, steak, fish, chicken, specialty cocktails, a beer list longer than your arm. You will not be disappointed with Sole. I tried the Jamaican Jerk Shrimp Tacos and the Gyoza Fried beef dumplings topped with a sweet teriyaki sauce. Happy hour includes select top shelf liquors for just $4.00. This place seems so upscale but the prices are so reasonable. I will be returning very soon, I'm a fan. read more

The Wednesday BOGO is my new favorite!!! while it's a pretty busy night (understandably) its well worth the wait for a good deal on really good sushi! the drinks are awesome too. We only got a couple of rolls, but I want to go back and try some other things on the menu! I'm glad this establishment came to broad street! read more

Food: The food was pretty disappointing. I ordered the Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Nachos and the Fish Tacos and my spouse ordered sushi (Seneca Specialty Roll, Rugby Roll, and one other roll the I don't recall the name of). The Nachos were considered staff picks, so when I tasted them, I was really disappointed. The chicken was reminiscent of those canned chicken you find in the same aisle as the canned tuna at the grocery store. It was just ok and pretty underwhelming. I felt the same about the fish tacos. The order consisted of only two tacos, and I had more tortilla than any of the filling. Both the nachos and the fish tacos were definitely not worth the $10/each we paid for them. I had better fish tacos at World of Beer for cheaper and better quality. The sushi. C'mon people. I don't even know why I trust people here in Augusta when they say a place has good sushi ‍ please go to the west coast or even a major city anywhere in the US and you are bound to taste good sushi. In the meantime, come back to me when y'all have some tastebuds. The sushi was bland and nothing special. I give up on Augusta having some decent sushi. Go to Atlanta if you want good sushi. Real sushi. Atmosphere/Customer Service: The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is the customer service. Our waitress was really sweet and very attentive. We sat at a booth and honestly, I should have just asked our waitress if we could switch to a table. The seats at the booth are so uncomfortable. The seat is designed in a way that the back of the chair makes you lean forward towards the table at an awkward angle and meanwhile the cushion just sinks in. The overall atmosphere and interior of the place is nice. It's designed in a way that a part of the restaurant is a bar as well, probably after a certain time. read more

Great food, fun atmosphere. Huge portions, appetizers are almost all you need, but save room for the main course! Great service! Truly amazing. I wish every restaurant was this good! read more

Okay, so let me explain my low rating for this particular establishment... PROS: Very spacious and nicely decorated and themed Has a very nice outdoor patio type of area Staff is very friendly Minimal wait time for food and drinks Pretty cleanly establishment and pleasing to the eye Here is what I have to say about this experience: The waitress was nice, and she was very accommodating. When we arrived and I checked in, Sole was offering a 10% discount on tapas during happy hour (4-7pm M-F). So, seeing as we checked in around 5:30 or so, that was awesome. Anyway, we ended up ordering a total of three different tapas - 2 for me and 1 for hunny. Before we decided to put in our entree orders, the waitress came back and informed us that they decided to take off 10% from each individual tapas, but next time, it would only be on a single tapas. We agreed that was fine and moved right along. We ordered our food, and shortly thereafter, the appetizers came, so the wait time was pretty minimal, which was AWESOME! Fast forward, I did a little editing to the vegetable roll I ordered (I added cream cheese and requested the whole roll be tempura fried, as I was feeling extra greedy this evening). No issues there. Food came, and I wasn't overly impressed with the roll or the tapas, but I was satisfied because it was all as advertised and was pretty fresh (nothing under hot lamps etc). Anyway, my hunny's patty melt was very unevenly cooked and the bread was barely toasted and it was cold - he wasn't a fan. I asked for a side of honey mustard at the beginning (I was asked no questions), but then, when I asked for a side of teriyaki sauce for my extremely dry sushi roll (no garnish or anything), I was told it would be $.50 extra... Okayyyyyyyy.... That turned me off, but the staff was so friendly that I didn't put up a fight about it. In the end, I would not return to this place, nor recommend it to a friend - solely (no pun intended) because I just wasn't a big fan of their food, and they aren't really vegan/vegetarian friendly which is pretty much a deal breaker for me. read more

Stopped by to see what the fuss was about... Worth it and true! Wednesday is buy one get one free rolls and Monday is all u can eat off the same menu. Service was great (thanks Chris!) and the food was awesome! Great idea with the menu, not only is there a good sushi/nigiri/sashimi selection with traditional tapas, they were smart by adding salads, burgers and entrees to the menu for the "not a fan of sushi" crowd! Well played! Got a chance to talk to the owner, very nice and interested in what we had to say which was very nice! It was cool to hear that all the staff was being trained from scratch. I like that! Outside patio area is also super cute. Seats, a fire pit, heaters and a band?!? Sweet! I'm a fan definitely coming back! Looks like they may have a band tonight! read more

My wife and I went to a work Christmas Dinner at Solé last night and we were super impressed to say the least. The service was great, our group was 3 tables total 35 people and our waitresses were excellent! Happy Hour is 4-7pm M-F so I was able to grab a couple well drinks too. The food is on point! Sushi is sooo good, but I grabbed a sandwich (The Fresco) which was a burger with cheese and a sunny-side-up egg in top with sourdough bread. It was delicious! Solé has a really nice set up inside and outside. The inside has a great bar with plenty of standing space. The other half of the inside is for sitting/eating. Outside has a lit up patio for corn hole, fire pit, and extra bar. **They have just built an extra outside deck with another bar. This is definitely the place to go during peak hours on your Friday or Saturday night! Top Recommendations: Sushi, Fresco Melt, Fries, any cocktail! Peak hours: 10:30pm - 12:30am read more

Overall: sufficient. I'm from out of town, but it's pretty suspicious when a place that serves sushi also serves a hodgepodge of other cuisines (and vice versa). My issue though was with the sushi choices. First, there's hardly any specialty rolls without cream cheese or anything fried. I ordered the Sumo roll, and it was good but there was too much sauce or whatever they put on it (mayonnaise???). I also ordered a traditional tuna roll and idk - it didn't seem like it was worth $5 for that small amount. Perhaps I'm basing this off where I'm from where it may be cheaper to get fresh seafood. The gyoza was good and the presentation was nice. read more

This was a work function for a farewell dinner. We came here all excited to try a new spot. Once the food arrived the guest of honor had to wait for chopsticks long after he ordered his meal. 2 guest had to wait on mayo which took so long the food was cold. One patron had to get up and get her own water. This was quite disappointing. read more

Given that this is Augusta, Georgia, I had pretty low expectations of any and all sushi places. This one however hits the mark REALLY well... good enough to compete even if it was transported to Charlotte or Atlanta. The rolls are wonderfully well decorated and they taste super well balanced and delightful. I like how they have interesting mix up of grill and sushi and they also have sushi tacos - very interesting. The service was amazing, some of the friendliest staff I have ever encountered! The only reason why it didn't get a 5th star is because the décor is a little bit strange - sports bar and irish bar feel... a bit strange for sushi place. read more

Delicious new restaurant in downtown Augusta. They had a bang bang shrimp appetizer special when we went (not sure the actual name) and it was to die for. All sushi was delicious and the jerk shrimp tacos are amazing!! The atmosphere is great.
