Solano's Bistro Description:
With its accessible pricing and reliably pleasing menu, this very unpretentious bistro attracts a loyal clientele from the country club set in the east valley. Executive chef and co-owner Francisco Solano understands his customers and makes sure to provide dishes that won't startle them, but he also adds enough spin to make things interesting for the more adventurous. He has a delicate and subtle way with flavors and textures; the house salad mixes the tender sweetness of blueberries with tart, crisp green apple wedges, crunchy glazed walnuts and the bite of feta cheese, all dressed with a blueberry vinaigrette. The menu changes seasonally; favorite spring appetizers are his gazpacho cocktail, a raspberry and Brie quesadilla or his luscious crab cakes. The pecan-crusted sand dabs, the chicken breast stuffed with artichoke hearts, spinach, mushrooms and ricotta, with a lemon garlic sauce, or the mint pesto-marinated lamb chops lead a worthy pack of entrées. For a bargain, go early and try the before-6 p.m. prix-fixe menu.
