Yelp.com Review - by Mustafa H.

1 of 5 stars. I am counting down the days until this place closes. As a restaurant, it fell in the good food/horrible service category. Depending on whether my group of friends was really in the mood for one of the…

1 of 5 stars. I want to like this place so much because it's right in my neighborhood. Unfortunately I have given up and am no longer a patron. The service is terrible! Every time I have ever been there, which is…

Decent burgers, service not so great

I like Solo as parking is easy to find on the street, and the restaurant has never been pack when I have gone to dine. The burgers were decent, but we were also very hungry. What was a downer on the night was...

1 of 5 stars. Went from good to horrible. The only good thing left about this place is the hacker pschorr beer on tap. Great. They try WAY to hard to be a hip place and the food is horrendous. They play this techno…

Cool Name, Cold Service

Okay, obviously they're letting just anyone write reviews (check out below). Anyway, Solo has the worst customer service staff in the entire city! I don't spare money especially when I go out- so that's not an...

Avoid on Friday nights, terrible service!

After having to seat ourselves this evening, 4-20-07, my friends and I waited patiently while several servers passed us by. Ten minutes later, when we finally got one of them to stop and ask about being...

Look up

The best thing I can say about Solo 1530 is that I can walk there. Bad service; overpriced; loud, hippy hoppy music not appropriate for the prices being charged or the neighborhood. The South Loop is not...

2 of 5 stars. I've tried to support this restaurant in my neighborhood, because there are NO other restaurants on South State Street, however, it has been pretty perpetual that the service has been marginal, and…

2 of 5 stars. I went to Solo for dinner with my boyfriend who lives across the street and 2 friends who were with me visiting from DC. Pros: I have to say the ambiance at Solo is really nice. Plush booths and dim…

Free Food, I'm There!

I have been hearing about this place lately and decided to try it out. I went last wednesday for their Afterwork Party and had a pretty good time. Not a lot of people but they really tried to make me feel at...

Bad food, Bad service :/

I've tried going here over 5 times now as I live in the building, each time hoping for a better experience and each time served bad food with bad service. Avoid.

Going down the tubes... QUICKLY!

My husband & I just left this place, it was our first time there. It was a disappointing experience to say the least! On a Friday night they have 2 servers, 1 bartender & 2 bus boys staffed. We ended up only...

Would be good except poor service

Since I live nearby, I've given 1530 several tries. Each time the service has been extremely slow, which I could understand, BUT they aren't busy so I don't know what the problem is. Also, they aren't very...

bad food, worse spinach dip, overpriced...

Finally tried this place since I live so close...bad move. Service was fine although there were only about 5 other people there. I have to strongly disagree with another person who raved about the spinach...

4 of 5 stars. Although its been open for about a year now, I think people are still just discovering this place. I think its because there is not too much parking available. The prices and portions are super…

Great Comfort Food

We live accross the street and eat there all the time. The brunch Saturday and Sunday is excellent. My favorite thing to eat is the NY Strip.

In need of SL restaurant!

I've lived in the SL for several years now. I liked the food at South City Tavern, the predecessor of 1530, but the ambience was awful. Well, the ambience at 1530 is great, but the food is awful. I will say...

Masterpiece

Solo is a hit!! The food, service, ambience and price is the best in town. I highly recommend the crab cakes, sweet mash potatos and the portion size on the entrees are very generous.

A Decent Alternative

I'm also a resident of the South Loop and I would love to see this restaurant succeed. I'm afraid that it won't because the food and experience don't justify the price, at least for dinner. The appetizers are...

Outstanding food and the total experience

I recently had dinner at Solo 1530. The appetizers were out of this world and I have extensive dining experience both in foods and eating in different countries. I expect the total dining experience, i.e.,...

SOLO is definitely a great replacement for the former South City Tavern. The food portions are HUGE and definitely worth the price. The spinach habanero dip is the best cheese dip i've ever had and the crab...

Disappointing

I live in the south loop, so I would really like to see this restaurant succeed. Brunch is fine and I would recommend it. I can't recommend it for dinner, at least not for this price point. I had talked this...
