First off, it is a beautiful restaurant. Stunning views and such a bright atmosphere if you're there before sunset. I would say the main draw here is the drinks and the aesthetic. The food itself was average to below average, especially for the price. The classic salmon roll was not up to par with any of my usual sushi spots in Seattle, including those that are much more budget friendly. As for dessert, the tiramisu was delicious but the vegan cookie and ice cream were skippable. All in all, I'd say eat dinner before and come for a drinks and the tiramisu. Would come back though, I need to exhaust the cocktail menu read more

I was in town for a work trip with two of my coworkers and we went to Solette for dinner and drinks. It did NOT disappoint. You must try the focaccia bread and make sure you leave room for dessert. The dark chocolate fondant cake was genuinely to die for. The salted caramel gelato was unreal. Our server, Matthew, was so kind and attentive and gave great recommendations. We were so pleased with how quickly our food came out and how well the staff treated us. We also got lucky with the most beautiful sunset view with the Needle in the background. The vibes are great. Even the bathrooms were nice If I didn't live so far away I would definitely be coming back. read more

Solette has such a great vibe! The place is spacious, stylish, and has a really nice atmosphere. I especially love the crowd--people dress well, and it's a more mature crowd rather than a very young one, which makes the experience even better. They have a DJ on Fridays, and if you want a table during the earlier time slots (before 10 PM), I recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance. You can also walk in around 9 PM or later to enjoy the DJ. Their happy hour menu offers a wide variety of both food and drinks. Everything we tried was delicious, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable! Another plus is that they have underground parking with validation, which makes parking super convenient. One tip: Avoid parking on P2! The restaurant shares a building with residential apartments, and there was a really unpleasant smell on that level, possibly coming from the building's dumpsters. I definitely recommend parking on lower levels. Overall, I really love the energy of this place. It's a great spot to dress up, enjoy good food and drinks, and have a fun night out! read more

Solette Rooftop just opened and I got to visit the new restaurant a month out, which should've given the staff and the kitchen enough time to get use to running a restaurant. The first reaction getting off the elevator was the stench of the seafood. We checked in for our 730pm reservation and it took another 20 minutes to be seated. The ambiance is amazing, does have that Chicago/ New York feel towards the front of the restaurant. My group got seated in the back where the patio is. The doors and the rooftop were closed but it did have a cold breeze on. I asked the waitress to turn on the heaters and she mentioned they were on. They in fact were not on and didn't want to argue about it. For the food, we only ordered the shared appetizers and a roll of sushi. We ordered the truffle fries, fried chicken, the blasted cauliflower and a sushi roll. The food was just ok. My favorite dish was the side of cauliflower. The fries were basic and I didn't taste any truffle. Fried chicken is good, it was smaller bites rather than a whole chicken. The staff was slow, we had to wave down our waitress to order another drink or ask for something. I think it's a great spot to grab drinks before heading out. read more

I visited Solette, a new rooftop in the neighborhood, last night and was immediately wowed with the interior decor and views! Beautiful, sleek, and chic. But that's where my 'wow' ended. The dishes (verde bowl / truffle fries / poke bowl) were very underwhelming tastes; service was SO slow (I'm talking 15-20 minutes just to get a wine refill); and the price tags were egregious (looking at you, $16 truffle fries...). I would come back ONLY for a drink during happy hour (4-5pm; 9pm-10pm). You can't mess that up, right!? read more

Solette JUST opened a couple of weeks ago. Gorgeous rooftop views and delicious food and drinks. My children knew I was going to write a Yelp review so they suggested we order several different things and share. Our server Emilio was wonderful. He worked his buns off to make sure we all had a pleasant experience. We ordered everything from calamari, truffle Mac & cheese, ribeye with truffle fries and Brussels sprouts. I'd be lying if I said the Brussels sprouts were delicious. But, I guess if you like Brussels sprouts you would love these. Everything was seasoned perfectly. Great place for a first date, to meet up with friends or drinks after work. read more

This is a newer rooftop that delivered on the music and ambiance for a mixed crowd! It was pretty busy on a Saturday night with the DJ spinning some good classics! Quite trendy and great vibes! I only came for drinks but maybe next time I would grab a table for dinner! Great energy! read more

Solette Rooftop Restaurant & Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is my now new favorite rooftop bar in Seattle. The vibes, design, views are immaculate. Everything on the menu looked amazing and eventually tasted amazing. My favorite was the solitaire and the tartar. The calamari was pretty good too. I could pass on the crab toast, pasta, cake. The service was pretty slow, but they were nice. Overall, I recommend and I will come back read more

overall this is a nice new rooftop cocktail spot, which I think Seattle is in need of some more! The vibe here is so cute and is so well decorated and I love all the decor and the ambiance. The service is also really nice. You check in at the bottom and they sent you up the elevator where you check in with the host and get seated. They only gave us the happy hour menu but we didn't ask for the dinner so I'm curious if they don't serve the full menu or if we just had to ask or what. Anyways we just ordered food, but it def feels like a spot that caters to drink not food. We ordered a few things to share, we only ordered one tiger roll but I guess they misheard us so we got an extra and I think they didn't charge us for it. The tuna roll I thought was pretty mid and maybe even a little disappointing, I just didn't get much tuna flavor and the strongest flavor was the jalapeño -- it just didn't seem like much fish. The tiger roll was alright, I did think it was a bit odd we didn't get like soy sauce or anything but the roll was already drizzled with sauce -- I just like to mix my wasabi with sauce so I probs could've asked for it as well. Overall it was good, and I'll give it a 4 even tho the food was a bit mid but I think you come here more for the vibes and drinks so I'll come back and try more things for a better picture. It does seem tho that there's not that much space outside, we didn't explore much but it seems to be mostly an indoor spot with walking area outside but not really hang out or seating outside -- that being said there are really big windows everywhere that open so it gives an outside feel. read more

We had heard great things about this place so we were excited to stop by for drinks. The service we received from the bartender was absolutely terrible. After we ordered and paid for our drinks she shouted at us telling us to move without us receiving the drinks. When we did receive the drinks they were half full and improperly garnished/ prepared. Later I witnessed another customer address the bartender about her tone and treatment of customers, she responded by shouting at him rude remarks and covert racism. When management became involved they did not care to hear how the bartender was acting. Instead they threw paying customers out without explanation. read more

Came here for my Wife's birthday celebration and it was a great time drinks were great and we ordered a little of everything and it all tasted great! It is a new spot so there was some confusion at times but nothing that ruined the night ! Beautiful views and very high end feeling wouldn't be a bad spot for a date or celebration! read more

Solette Rooftop Restaurant & Bar - Great view of the space needle ! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I really want to love Solette! The location is fantastic, parking is easy, the views are absolutely breathtaking, and the decor is chic with a fun, Miami-inspired vibe. It's definitely a beautiful setting for a night out or special celebration. I've visited twice now for birthday celebrations, including my own, and unfortunately, both experiences left me feeling underwhelmed. The food, just doesn't quite deliver. I ordered the tuna tartare, which had far more avocado than actual tuna and was surprisingly bland. I also tried the tuna roll, which was flavorful, but I was thrown off by the use of jasmine rice instead of the traditional sushi rice texture I was expecting. One of my friends ordered the tuna poke bowl, and it came with no sauce?? So I suggested she ask for the sauce that came in my sushi roll. My other friend ordered a medium-rare steak, but it arrived closer to medium-well to well-done. Even the plating lacked the refinement you'd expect from a restaurant with this kind of ambiance. What really fell short, though, was the service. On both visits, with two different servers, everything seemed to unravel toward the end of the evening. During my most recent visit, my final drink took 15-20 minutes to arrive, to the point where I wanted to cancel it altogether. And if you're ready to close out your tab, be prepared to wait even longer. I understand Solette is still fairly new, and I'm hopeful these are simply growing pains. The space has so much going for it, and I'd love to see the food and service match the beautiful atmosphere. For now, I'd return for the views and ambiance, but I'm hesitant to come back for a full dining experience until they've had a chance to iron out the kinks. I'm rooting for this place because it truly has the potential to be something special! read more

0/5 stars if that were an option. Absolutely horrible experience. My partner & I made our reservation about 3 weeks in advance & specifically noted that we were celebrating a birthday. Despite that, we were seated at a high-top table directly back-to-back with the bar area. It was loud, cramped & not at all the type of seating we expected for a birthday dinner at an upscale rooftop restaurant. Our table was also extremely wobbly. We were told they could put something underneath it to stabilize it, which they never did. The high-top seating was very uncomfortable for my partner because he's tall & basically had to hunch over. We also sat for about 10 minutes before anyone noticed we hadn't been helped or even brought WATER. We asked if we could move & were told there was absolutely no availability because they were fully booked. This was a Saturday evening, which is exactly why we made our reservation about 3 weeks in advance. Our server, Lila, was great & honestly the only positive part of the experience. She listened, tried to help & spoke with management on our behalf. Unfortunately, management made the situation significantly worse. They sent Shay, who was neither our server nor the manager, over to tell us they could comp ONE appetizer but couldn't move us. Not being able to move us was disappointing, but his attitude was the bigger problem. He was dismissive & sarcastic while we explained our concerns. At one point, he essentially responded, "Okay, so do you want the appetizer...?" in an extremely rude tone. We weren't asking for free food. We were trying to explain why we were unhappy with the seating & experience. We then asked for the actual manager, Andrew, hoping for some attempt at problem-solving. There wasn't. He gave essentially the same response & immediately assumed we were upset because we wanted a window seat. We NEVER said we needed a window seat. We simply wanted a comfortable table for a birthday dinner--one that wasn't wobbling, crammed into the bar area & uncomfortable to sit at. Wanting a normal dinner table does not mean demanding a window seat. I understand that a fully booked restaurant can't magically create another table. That wasn't the biggest problem. The problem was how poorly everything was handled. You can tell customers there's no other availability while still being respectful & making them feel heard. Sarcasm & dismissiveness are not the way to handle it. For a restaurant marketed as an upscale rooftop dining experience, especially somewhere people would choose for special occasions, this was incredibly disappointing. Thank you to Lila for genuinely trying to help. Unfortunately, management's response completely ruined the experience for us. We ended up leaving & found a new spot for dinner where we were much more happy with service, ambiance, and food. After reading rest of reviews online, unfortunate others have experienced this too. Don't let that be you!! Definitely will not be returning to Soulette. read more

I go to Solette pretty often and all the staff is incredible and super accommodating. The bartenders at the bar right when you walk in are always on top of things- they remember my order every time I come in. read more

Make a reservation as not to be disappointed in how they manage you as a walk-in. We opted to check out Solette in a more impromptu fashion and we (three of us) thought, "it's early" so seating should be available (it is Seattle's largest rooftop bar after all). It was barely after 4:00 on a Friday (they open at 3:00 on Friday) and it was definitely buzzy and busy. The host on the 13th floor wasn't particularly friendly, helpful or otherwise hospitable... pretty much just waived us off to an open bar area around the corner from the host station because we didn't have reservations. We kinda got it... but there did seem to be a number of areas that he might have helped get us to. When we got around the corner there was no interaction with any of the handful of bartenders and servers so we just started to wander. We found the GM and she got us a seat outside (the backside which was great... quiet... and a nice back-patio feel). It took a bit for the rest of the crew to catch on to our location. Drinks were great. Food (simple fried goodies.. tempura, calamari, and parmesan fries) was lackluster, cold, and the calamari fought back. We'll give it some time to settle and go back for a second crack after the Holidays. read more

Interior design is great! Food could be better. The chicken and sushi was a little bland

The food was good but the service was horrible. They forgot about 2 of our dishes. Expect to wait a long time for everything

The DJ created a cool vibe, but everything else was terrible. The servers were rude and unhelpful. Nicole was the only one to help after bringing us food. A woman server with a high curly puff refused to service us but serviced everyone else around us. She told us we had to order at the bar but when we were eventually no longer overlooked by the bartender, she said food had to be ordered at the table. Noticing the table was sticky and dirty after sitting down, we asked the server about having it wiped clean, and she said no we don't clean the tables. So we cleaned it ourselves. That should've been the sign for us to leave. I thought I was going to have a great birthday dinner there, but was wrong. Never again. read more

If I could rate this less than 1 star I would. The decor and vibe or the place is very aesthetic, picture worthy for sure. We came late on a Saturday, towards the beginning of the Golden Hour and our serve was very dismissive. We kept being ignored and told to order at different places (with the server, with the bar, with the other bar). We were not offered water, napkins, nothing. Even after all of the order fiasco and it was confirmed that we should have table service (the table next to us confirmed this for us). We sat there with empty plates and drinks for a while and needed to politely ask the server to bring us our check, she once again asked us to go to the bar for our check and when we told her that we were instructed to go to her, she just rolled her eyes and gave us the check. We did not get any warm hospitality from her or the bartender. I give the bartenders a bit more grace since it was very busy for them. read more
