Solo Restaurant Review

: Breeze by the public tables and the lingerers inside the Sony Atrium and you'll find yourself in an unexpected culinary oasis. Welcome to Solo, which serves up kosher fare in an elevated manner. Thanks go to Top Chef alum Eli Kirshstein, whose menu spins the globe to good results: there’s a deep, rich pho (Vietnamese beef soup), a soft-boiled egg swimming in a potato-truffle broth and topped by salmon roe successfully mixing flavors to one harmonious finish; and a nicely cooked steak that’s crispy (almost charred) on the outside and juicy and tender inside. The wine selection is small, but features some decent kosher wines from Israel and Latin America.
