Me and my girlfriend were looking for somewhere different to try for my birthday and, after hearing good things about Solita, we thought we'd give it a go. We went on a Monday night and was pretty surprised to find that it was really busy. We were greeted by a polite waitress who quickly escorted us to our table. Whilst deciding what we wanted to order we could help but notice another waitress carrying food who appeared to have lost her table. This happened numerous times during our visit. We order two burgers and two beers. They came pretty quickly and we set about tucking in, only for my girlfriend to find a dead fly in squashed on hers. I called the waitress over who was horrified at the news and quickly took the burger back to the kitchen. A few minutes later she returned with a fresh, fly-free, burger.The burger was taken off the bill and although feeling slightly sick about the matter we're pretty sure this was a one-off. The restaurant dealt with the situation really well. Apart from the fly incident, the burgers were fairly good. However they seemed to lack something special that other burger places in Manchester have.

Well I thought it high time to see what all fuss was about regarding Solita the northern quarter burger joint. I was expecting an uber cool hip joint, however I was disappointed as it looked like an old chinese restaurant that had a lick of paint. I soon as I entered I was sliding around on the super greasy floor! There is a 100% chance of some litigation when someone slips a disc or cracks there head open on it. Far more concerning is why is the floor was so greasy, why isnt it thoroughly cleaned? Perhaps it is health hazard in terms of germs as well as an accident. The place was busy so we ate upstairs, I would recommend choosing downstairs. The waitress was friendly, helpful and pleasant. I really liked the menu, great choices with a bias toward MEAT. We both had the Solita burger which I assume is the house signature burger and it was spot on. Perfectly accompanied by a craft American beer. The price was right too, around £12 each if I remember. Would I return, yes I would if hungry and nearby. However I would much rather try many other similar eateries in the city centre. Not a patch on Beef and Pudding, however Solita may not have the budget of the New Moon Pub Co that run that venue. Sort that floor out!
