Sôlt - South Brazos

Disappointed with my experience at Solt. The cod lacked flavor and the Thai salad tasted like it came straight from a bag. Red ridges on your romaine is never a good sign. The overall dining experience fell short of expectations especially after spending over $170.00. Drinks were above average and the 6 onions soup was good. Nevertheless, for that kind of entree prices you would hope more effort from the kitchen. Hoping for improvements in the future.

Great place for lunch or dinner. Perfect for date night or business lunch. Good food, unique menu, homemade infused cocktails, and service to top it all off.

SO GOOD!! Tried this place randomly so glad we did! Fantastic service drinks!!! I got the goat cheese appetizer which was amazing, with a mango habanero drink. Will def be back will def order those 2 again!!!

We had never eaten here but found the food to be excellent. We had a large party and a variety of dishes and everything was loved by all.

When I travel, I love to visit locally owned restaurants and have a taste of the local food and culture. I was visiting my daughter in Cypress and we went to the Texas A&M football game. There, I shared a sausage with my girlfriend. For ball park food, it was okay. When we left the game, I decided to stop by a place in town before we drove back to Cypress. College towns often have great food. We decided on Solt based on a picture of the creme brulee and the decent reviews. There weren't many reviews but they were good.The restaurant is nice and the staff greeted us when we came in. They seated the four of us at a small table, gave us clean menus and water in clean glasses. I checked the menu and was perplexed. I felt like it was all over the place. Cajun, Asian, French, American and Mexican seafood. Then, I saw the word truffle oil in the ingredients of several menu items. I love truffles not truffle oil. Truffle oil is actually just olive oil with a lab created synthetic flavoring of a truffle. I find it a cheap way to add a unique flavor in a bad way. I should have trusted my instincts and left.We started with the Asian Steak Carpaccio. Unfortunately, I didn't read all of the ingredients because it included spicy truffle oil. They brought out less than 1/2 ounce of tenderloin in a watery sauce. The truffle oil and salt overpowered the flavor of the meat, which it should complement.After that we waited, and waited, and waited. I then heard another waiter apologize to other customers because they were short staffed and the kitchen was backed up. This is something they should have said as soon as we were seated. Our waiter came up and said our food was almost ready because two items were up. I imagined some of our food sitting under a heat lamp as the rest was completed. But that is not what happened. The food he alluded to, was for other customers that were seated before us. Good for them and us. Then we waited, and waited, and waited. I then heard another customer complaining about waiting for a long period of time for food. That group left after waiting about an hour to eat. We were about 30 min into it and had water and a ludicrous small amount of tenderloin. The manager approached us and apologized for the wait and suggested we order drinks that would come out rapidly. I was taken back by the suggestion. I should pay you more money for poor service? I asked how much longer? She did not give me a time just that she would bring it out as soon as it was ready. I started thinking that we were going to be like the other group waiting over an hour. I discussed it with my family and we decided to leave. I asked for the check and was getting ready to leave, then our food came out. Okay let's see what we get.I ordered the black cod, my girlfriend ordered the calamari tacos, my daughter's boyfriend ordered the burger medium with fries, and my daughter ordered the pat thai.The cod was cooked perfectly but the sauce was extremely salty and it again overpowered other flavors. Black cod being a light flavored fish doesn't need copious amounts of salt, catfish okay add the salt. My girlfriend received the calamari appetizer, not the tacos. They were thinly sliced rings, over cooked, rubbery with again to much salt. My daughter's pat thai noodles were undercooked and crunchy, and yes I know what al dante noodles are supposed to taste like. Her boyfriend's burger was overcooked and dry.This was definitely one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while. They made no offers to take care of anything and just apologized for the delay.If you eat fast food everyday and have a desensitized palette for salt, you may consider this fine dining. We talked about it later, and all agreed the sausages at the football game were better and less salty. I'll also compare this to eating too much salty popcorn to the point that your lips start swelling because the salt is attracting all the moisture in the environment to your lips. That's what it was like. Oh, I never ordered the creme brul
