I have been to restaurants all over the world. France, Peru, New York and Beverly hills. I have seen it all. This was the worst restaurant experience ever. The restaurant was empty on a Saturday night and now I know why. The staff were low level people and were almost rude. It was a table of 6 and they didn’t... more

We were fortunate to live in Spain for many years and we miss it. Thus, El Sol de España has become our Spanish "home base" in Maryland. The food and wine, the ambiance, and (maybe most of all), the proprietor are without peer on this side of the Atlantic. While we have never had a disappointing meal, we do have... more

I begged my wife to come with me to try this place. I drive by it on my way home from work and always wanted to give it a try. The appetizer was okay (shrimp), but it got better the fish entrees (fresh) and dessert were absolutely excellent. Also the bottle they recommended to us was excellent, think it was... more

These qualities alone would make Sol de Espana one of the top restaurants in Rockville. With owner Joaquin Serrano running the show however, this restaurant... more

The manager was short a cook he said and still managed to have our dinners out to us by 9:30 (our party head told... more

On Saturday night, March 5, 2005, reservations meant nothing. Evidently walk-ins were seated without consideration of the upcoming reservations. People who were seated were served drinks but appetizers and dinners were slow to appear. Wait staff looked grim. Manager (?) and Owner (?) were arguing and ignoring inquiries from unseated customers regarding when or if they would be served. No... more
