Open now · 14 seats · walk-ins after 9

A small room
for honest,
low-intervention
wine.

Forty-something bottles from growers who farm without shortcuts, poured in a candle-lit room the size of a generous living room. No scores, no jargon — just what we're drinking this week and a short menu to go with it.

The room

One marble bar, a handful of small tables, and whatever record is on. We don't take large parties and we don't rush the table — a seat at Solera is yours for the evening.

Pull up a stool. We saved you the corner one.

Reservations take half the room; the bar is always kept for walk-ins. Come alone with a book, or bring three friends — both are exactly right here.
