I came to Solstice a long time ago for a Yelp event. The desserts blew my socks off! I had wanted to return since but I needed an excuse (I live in Markham; Solstice is located in Mississauga). So happily, my boyfriend had his birthday, and I got to pick where to wine and dine him. And I picked Solstice.
A step up from many places, the classy services greeted us before the pleasant venue. The greeter was prompt, courteous and effective. A waiter promptly asked if we wanted water or other beverages. Then came the daily specials recommendation, the order taking and so on. Throughout the meal, the services was smooth, polite and professional. By the end of the meal, our waiter built rapport with us and laughed at jokes with us. I would say our waiter was a gem.
We ordered an antipasto appetizer, a rib eye steak with crushed blue cheese and a seafood crepe, a sundae dessert and 2 alcoholic beverages. The antipasto was good, leaving a clean, crispy feel in my mouth. The steak was big and extremely tender yet a tad salty to my liking. It went down easy. The seafood crepe was creamy, and it was loaded with small shrimps and scallops bits. True to experience, the sundae was a knockout. It was big, sweet, loaded with fudge and whipped cream. The glass was an ice cream cone lookalike. So cute.
I have mentioned that the venue is pleasant. The interior decoration is romantic and upscale casual. The section where we sat allows privacy. The noise level is low. There is another section that is larger and more open, so big groups will find themselves more comfortable there. The overall package makes this restaurant a good choice for special occasions.
