El Sol Restaurant at 9th Street NW near Florida Ave; is a small Mexican restaurant in the Shaw neighborhood near the "U Street Corridor" of Washington DC. THE LINK ON YELP!
Below is my less than glowing review of the place this week. Sorry; but there are too many other good places in DC to eat than to settle for this.
My Review:
Well this was my 2nd time there. The first time; I thought the food was quite good and the margaritas yummy. The service and atmosphere was just "ok"; but hey - I'll put up a lot for good food.
However this week when we went (on a Wednesday night); the music was so loud (a dance track) - I could barely hear. For a minute I thought I could deal and then when the person I was with could barley hear me speak; I asked the woman to turn it down.
Well she did; but not much. Another loud dance mix song came on just as another table walked in and said "gee it's loud in here". You would have thought that would have been a clue to the server - but she didn't get it and did nothing.
While I love dance music - IN A BAR -not really when I am having a relaxing dinner in a restaurant.
We ended up just getting up leaving and I told her "it's too loud in here" - instead of apologizing she just gave me a blank stare.
The only reason they get 1 star is that I had good food here once before.. but this week was sure a ZERO Star"
