Seeking Solace? Look Elsewhere!
A recent Sunday night visit to thisnSolace Outpost location was a complete disaster from start to finish. If I could give zero stars, I would. Here's a breakdown of my horrendous experience:
Atrocious Service
The staff is physically present but ultimately useless. There was no greeting or direction to the "seat yourself, menu on QR code at table, order at the bar when ready" protocol that would have been helpful to know about upfront. Instead, I incorrectly assumed I had to submit my order through the digital menu, which would only let me do it if I selected a tip amount and paid in advance. This Parade of Horrors continued when I asked my waiter for a glass of water and was curtly told, "There is a self-serve water station inside."
Horrible Food
I went for the Spicy Chicken Thigh dish -- spicy Nashville batter, Alabama White BBQ, Citrus Ranch, Sweet & Spicy sauce; and the Expo's Tots -- crispy Tater Tots topped with rich chicken gravy, fried cheese curds, and fresh Parsley. Both had the same dominant notes of old grease and regret. I've had better food from a gas station. Either the cook was last minute Sunday night sand-in, or management has no interest in selling more of their brews by making food customers will want to eat.
Overhyped Beer
The beer was not bad but didn't live up to its description. I tried the Sonic Punch IPA -- Brewed with El Dorado, Citra hops plus Phantasm powder and thiolized yeast to create passion fruit and grapefruit flavors. It sounded amazing but tasted more than a decent basic brew.
In summary, save your appetite, money, time, and trouble.
