About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Café Solé has captured the hearts and palates of locals and visitors lucky enough to discover this culinary gem off the beaten path. By combining his French mastery of sauces with fresh locally caught seafood, John has created a menu unlike any on the island, where every dish is bursting with indescribable flavors. Mutton snapper in pesto and champagne, yellowtail in a beurre blanc of lobster or a rare hog snapper with red pepper zabaglione top a list of nightly specials. As for the classics, the Duck a L'Orange, Rack of Lamb with herb de Province and Lobster Bouillaise are as authentic as you will find this side of Paris. Chef Correa combines the best of both of his worlds, European and Caribbean to win the People's Choice and Best Entree awards at a recent Master Chefs Classic

    Unfortunately the food was not as expected. The appetizers were all consistently mediocre at best. The saganaki dish was cold not properly cooked. One of the dates were hard as a rock and had to be returned. The hog fish entree was decent. Otherwise all of our dishes were bland and not great tasting. Definitely would not go back.

    Excellent- food! Server was pretty good - no as good as previous visits. Kinda left us unattended a few times- got bread with no napkins- stuff like that. He left us “looking” for the check quite a long time. All in all good

    Our server Kelsey was fun, friendly and attentive. We were a group of 8. Many of us had the restaurant’s signature Hogfish dish as our entrees, which was excellent. Especially with the 4 different vegetable sides. Other favorites were the clams as well as the beet salad as appetizers. A charming setting too. Highly recommended !

    We visited CS on our third night in KW. The restaurants on our two prior nights were at the same price point and are highly praised for their charm and their high quality food preparation—CS wins the contest hands down on both counts. CS has a lively vibe—guests (such as the four locals sitting next to us) seemed to be there for the delicious food and a cheerful night out. We loved it.

    The portobello soup was absolutely delicious. The Ingram salad was refreshing and lightly dressed in a citrus vinaigrette. The rack of lamb was actually 6 separate lollipop chops that were flavorful and tender. The yellow tail snapper was delightful. The extensive wine menu did not disappoint. Our server Kelsey was friendly, bubbly, and efficient. It was Easter Sunday so the restaurant was packed. The only downside was the noise level. Overall a wonderful experience
