Dinner at Greta Solomon's exceeded my expectations. I have passed the restaurant many times on Queen Street and had saved it as a place to go with diners who appreciate good food as well as atmosphere.
It's important to make a reservation though there are several seats at the bar. When you enter, you're transported to another time and space. There is a tiny blackboard with your name reserving your table. When you sit down, the server offers to bring you water and provides you ample time to study the drinks menu.
I had beet salad as a starter and then the beef filet. Just exquisite execution from the chef. One of my guests has a dairy allergy and the chef was able to make an accommodation for her version of the beef filet. It is recommended that you order two to three items for your main meal (the concept is small plates). I would say that the portions are just perfect. Shared the poached pear with my friend. We were all satiated by the end of the meal. Nothing left behind except contentment over a wonderful meal.
Will definitely return. One more thing. While the restaurant is intimate, you can navigate a conversation without shouting. This is the place to go for a great meal but also good conversation that you can hear.
