User Reviews of Solo 1530

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The techno music has to go.........

I really enjoy this place and being a south loop resident I frequent it often. owever, My wife and I are driven mad by the horrible music that is sometimes too loud. I see what they are trying to do though....

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.,...

AWESOME!!!

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...
