Solis Restaurant — Restaurant in Viti Levu

Update: We had dinner here 3x out of our so far 8th nights. They don't miss in terms of service and food, all of the experiences were great and food yummy! I repeat ordered kokoda and snapper and have tried the salmon - it was cooked correctly and had the crispy skin and under it was like english spinach and green beans cooked in coconut milk. My hubby had beef meltique which he said was correctly cooked and he would love to have it again. Baguette was my preferred bread and my guy liked their sourdough. Don't give this place a miss! Desserts were defo yummy!!😋

Food and service were both topnotch that we decided mid dinner that we have to return. We started off with complimentary bread with three kinds of dips. The bread choices were foccacia, sourdough and baguette. I had the kokoda and my guy had the signature dish, and we both loved our choices. Kokoda is like ceviche "cooked" with coconut milk, it was a beautiful dish. Then I had snapper and my guy had the yellowfin tuna, which may sound simple, but the sauces and the sides it came with works very well together and both were cooked nicely. We did not have to add any salt or pepper into any of our dishes....

I've dined at Solis twice as an in-house guest and both times was disappointed by the experience. The view is beautiful and you're greeted with Fijian friendliness, but the food is average and overpriced, and the service is slow and at times non-existent.

During my first visit, the server didn't know the menu well enough, resulting in me ordering a side garden salad when the dish I ordered already included a small side salad (this was something I asked when placing my order). The salad itself contained wilted and soggy lettuce.

On my second visit, I ordered a pizza but unfortunately it wasn't cut well so it was difficult to eat (I would have liked a knife but no one came over to check on the meal) and when it was time to order another drink, I had to go to the bar to find someone. The "classic margarita" I was served was terrible, containing melted ice (not sure why it even had ice in it) and tasted watery and flavourless.

Overall, a sub-par dining experience for a "5...

I ordered the seafood plateau tonight from Solis, including raw oyster, cooked mussels, prawn, lobster, mud crab, tuna sashimi. Sitting in front of a beach front restaurant, we were expecting fresh local seafood as it’s the restaurant’s signature dish. However, when the plateau come onto the table, we found the oysters and prawn are apparently not fresh, as the oyster is cloudy, and the prawn meat is falling apart while peeling. The mud crab is especially bad, as the crab meat is already powdered and getting pink colour. Apparently the crab must has been in fridges for a while before serving. We worry the food safety, did not eat the crab and left half of the plateau unfinished. The restaurant environment is good, the servicing staff are friendly. But the food is a real disappointment. Would suggest the fresh and safety of food should come as priority as bad seafood can be...
