Wine Spectator Award of Excellence 2026
Wine Spectator gave Cafe Sole its Award of Excellence in 2026. The French-Caribbean seafood focus makes the wine credential relevant to a dinner or brunch built around seafood.
Hog Snapper Sole' and local sourcing
Hog Snapper Sole', Portobello Soup, and Shrimp Romesco anchor the named dishes. Local sourcing gives the kitchen a concrete procurement focus alongside that French-Caribbean seafood format.
Garden, quiet, smart casual
Garden setting, quiet noise, and leisurely pacing suit a conversation-led dinner or brunch. Smart casual dress and upscale casual service set a polished but relaxed frame.
