What an amazing night at Chez Mansour! We went to watch Terga Group, and everything was absolutely wonderful. The music was incredible, the ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, and the food was delicious. On top of that, the owner is extremely kind and made us feel right at home. You can really feel the passion and care behind this place. A perfect spot for a great evening with live music, good vibes, and amazing food. Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back!
Wow a Wine- Bar with 1920’s ambience! A truly amazing discovery of the hidden jewel of boring Solano.. I got their special wine, not from the menu, and it was mind blowing. They have live music and entertainment on weekends! Local regulars are amazingly friendly folks, and don’t forget to ask what is chef special on Thursdays. We will be back !
This establishment, while offering a full menu, identifies itself as a wine bar. This was made clear to our party as we were deciding what to order. It's best to consider this location as a wine bar that also serves shareable, tapas-style food. Our group of four sampled the following: Meaza Platter: A good starter. Due to an eggplant allergy, we requested the baba ghanoush be served separately. This request prompted another reminder that the focus is on wine, not food. While they wouldn't serve the baba ghanoush on a separate plate, they offered to substitute it with more of another item, like hummus. Chicken Shawarma: This was the most popular dish among our group. The chicken was flavorful, and the portion size was generous, suitable for one person or for sharing. Beef and Lamb Shawarma: A decent dish, but not as well-received as the chicken shawarma. The portion size was comparable to the chicken shawarma. Cucumber Salad: A refreshing addition to the meats and rice. Basmati Rice: Both shawarma plates included rice, but we ordered an extra portion. Pita Bread: We were told the pita bread was homemade and fresh. However, the bowl contained a mix of textures: half resembled Stacy's pita chips, while the other half was soft wheat pita. The combination wasn't ideal, particularly as the soft pita warmed the crispy pieces. Other Details: Restrooms are located in the back, past the hostess stand and near the kitchen. Street parking is available.
We went on fine Sunday evening with little to no people around. At first glance, the place had the middle-east charm. Started with my favorite Labneh and multi-wheat pitas/Zaatar which was absolutely amazing. Experimented with Grape leaves mezze which was little on sour side and mild. Then main course of perfectly seasoned grilled lamb chops, scallops kebabs and lamb kebabs. Out of all the tender lamp chops are must try. Roasted potatoes and basmati rice on the side plays well. Ended up with another favorite Baklava (unexpectedly had right sweetness) and tea.
Everything was excellent! Friendly service, AMAZING food and they also have nights with live music! The pomegranate hummus was the best I've ever had. Also, the Chicken Platter with Roasted Potatoes and Falafels were to die for. They also serve beer and wine + have really cute and dog-friendly outdoor seating!
I Highly recommend this tiny Jewel Wine- Bar on Solano. Very delicious food, fast and good service and an amazing VIP collection of wines. I prefer Chez Mansour special pick each time I go in there. They have live music on weekends and I love ambulance and positive energy of this place.
We stopped here for lunch in the midst of last-minute Christmas shopping (a procrastinating tradition) and were blown away by the food, welcoming atmosphere and charming service. There were only two other diners in the restaurant but they seemed like regulars, always a good sign. The baba ganoush was delightful and not oily and the tabouleh sparkled with fresh taste. We liked that it was light on the bulgar. We shared chicken kebabs, which were juicy and grilled to perfection. Not sure what the marinade was, but it was delicious. I was a sometime visitor to Britt Marie’s but put off by how grimy it had become over the years. The new owners of this location have managed to make it sparkling clean and new, while also keeping elements of the old restaurant.
The food is absolutely wonderful and the environment is so fun! Great service!
