Solmar Restaurant & Catering

We love to try different places, well the Groupon made it possible for dinner 2/26/2013 Tuesday.
Well walking in there are two doors, one bar, one restaurant, take the restaurant. Yes the place is family run, four table at 7 PM, all families. The dining room is very basic, but very clean indeed. We ordered a steamed clam dish, lots of flavor (garlic, cilantro, olive oil) served right in the pot steamed in great for dipping bread in. That being said the bread was warm and very tasty, had the Mozambique Shrimp, we shared, plenty, the sauce was very simple, wine, hot sauce, some butter, however the shrimp were cooked perfectly, cut in half with the shell.on. The kale soup with the spicy sausage real nice and the green bean vegetable soup was flavorful but not has Hot as it could have been. The flan with caramel  sauce really was home made it tasted it very good, was a great finish.
A bit pricey for what it is, however, the quality was there, the heart to give great service was there, the bottle of wine was priced right, overall a nice evening out.

The bar staff rips people off. So, if you want to pay $20 for 3 drinks in a dive bar, you've found the perfect place.

A rather interesting place to observe Western Massachusetts barflies.
