Sola was hands down one of the most enjoyable meals I've ever had. My wife and I tried a few different one-star Michelin restaurants while in Paris, and the Japanese chef tasting menus were by far our favorite. I initially chose Sola purely because of pictures I saw of the beautiful underground cave dining area, but we soon realized that the food and service also matched the outstanding ambiance. The surprising ease of getting a reservation here is not indicative that it's not as good as those other restaurants that need to booked weeks in advance. It's truly shocking that you can book a last-minute table at such a great restaurant.Ambiance: While making the reservation, you can either select a table in either the Salon Mineral or Salon Japonais. Salon Mineral is the main floor with regular tables and Salon Japonais is the traditional seating downstairs. To say that the seating downstairs was beautiful would be an understatement. The traditional seating, the perfect lighting, and the stone cavern like walls created such an amazing environment. It was romantic, modern, and unique...just an incredible dining room. When you go downstairs, you change out of your shoes and they give you soft slippers to wear at your table. Instead of purely traditional seating where you uncomfortably sit on the floor, they had cushioned seats without legs that you just pull up to the table and then underneath the table the floor sunk down a step for your legs to hang down.Service: All the servers here were incredibly sweet and friendly. Our interactions seemed more like a conversation with a friend rather than a server who memorized a script. One of the most fun and unique aspects of Sola is the interaction with your server. We've done a few tasting menus back home in Chicago, and we're used to the server describing the course by listing off a long list of ingredients and culinary techniques that we pretty much immediately forget. At Sola they give you the dish blind and let you try it yourself and figure out what's in it. Then they come back and you have a fun discussion about what you thought it was, and then they reveal the actual mystery ingredients. It was a lot of fun, and it served to both make us more aware of the flavors we were tasting as well as keeping us engaged throughout the entire meal. Food: Sola offers an "Omakase" tasting menu where they have fun fusing French ingredients with Japanese techniques. It consisted of a 7-course menu for 150eu per person, and dinner lasted almost 3 hours. Just like our experience at Restaurant Pages, each course was truly an adventure, as Chef was able to derive flavors from unexpected places and present it in a fun and visually pleasing form.Chef Nabeta's inspiration comes from the idea of no waste. Not only does he utilize the prime parts of an ingredient but also finds creative ways to utilize some of the more uncommon parts, cultivating strong flavors from unexpected ingredients. This idea even extended to the plating as well, where they commonly re-purposed broken plates and wine glasses for a unique plating presentation. The courses were creative, playful, and delicious. I genuinely loved each and every course, with my favorite being the signature dish where they uncover a cloud of smoke from sakura wood, which is infusing the meat enclosed within. The theatrical presentation, the multi-sensory experience, and the delicious flavors were just top notch.

I usually judge a restaurant purely on the food, but the impeccable service and unique ambiance at Sola cannot go unnoticed. They all just culminated together to create such a memorable experience.
