What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Sole by Tarragon is celebrated for its stunning sea views and exceptional seafood, offering an elegant dining experience. While many praise the impeccable service and beautifully presented, high-quality dishes, some diners found certain main courses less impressive and noted occasional inconsistencies in service speed.
"This HAS to be the best meal in my life! I got a multi-course meal, um, perhaps seven courses. I particularly liked the salmon combined with a tiny sliver of red beet. This combination was one I had never considered. A large staff kept the meal lively through their attentive and excellent service. The meal was worth every penny and more!"

"Service is good - everyone polite and with very positive vibe. I also like the view and design.
Unfortunately the food wasn't too impressive. While the fish soup was OK, the octopus I had was dry and tasteless. I would expect much better considering the prices. I think you can find many places with much better food in that area."

"We came as a family to try the six-course tasting menu and had a wonderful evening!
The service was impeccable and highly professional.
The dishes were of excellent quality, with a perfect balance of flavors and beautiful presentation.
We would like to thank the entire team for the warm welcome.
A special mention to Ana and Jyoti."
