Sola South Beach serves a full dinner and brunch menu spanning handhelds, entrées, fresh seafood, pasta, and desserts, with prices typically ranging from $10 side dishes to a $46 Surf & Turf — though menu prices are subject to change, so confirm current pricing directly with the restaurant. The menu is built around a Latin-inflected approach to international cuisine, where bold flavors, fresh local ingredients, and generous portions define every plate.

What Does the Sola South Beach Menu Cover?
The Sola South Beach menu is structured across six core categories: Handhelds, Dinner Specials, Salads, Entrées, Side Dishes, and Desserts. This range is deliberate. The menu is built to serve a table of two on a date night just as effectively as a group celebrating a birthday or wrapping up a night out on Collins Avenue.
In practice, the menu hits a range of price points that works for Miami Beach. A solo diner can eat well with a handheld and a side. A couple looking for a full experience — starter salad, main entrée, dessert, and Bottomless Sangria — can expect a meaningfully higher per-person total once the service charge and tax are factored in; budget conservatively and confirm current menu prices before you go.
Full-service restaurant visits in the US typically fall in the mid-to-upscale range before alcohol, making Sola’s pricing consistent with Miami Beach’s casual dining segment.
Handhelds: Burgers, Sandwiches, and Flatbreads
The Handhelds section is the most accessible part of the Sola menu and one of the most versatile. These dishes work equally well for a late afternoon arrival during happy hour or as a lighter main course before the DJ session starts.
The Sola Classic Burger — $26
A half-pound Angus blend patty with white American cheese, lettuce, onion, and tomatoes. The kitchen has offered an Impossible Burger substitution — confirm current availability and any applicable surcharge directly with the restaurant, as plant-based substitution policies change frequently.
What actually separates a well-built burger from a mediocre one is the patty-to-bun ratio and fat content in the blend. A half-pound Angus blend at this price point signals a kitchen that is not cutting corners on the protein.
Smash Sliders and Double Smash Burger — $25 each
Two distinct formats, same price. The Smash Sliders give you three individual patties with American cheese, grilled onions, and cheese sauce — better for sharing. The Double Smash Burger is a stacked format with pickles and the same signature cheese sauce on a toasted bun, designed as a single serving.
The smash technique — pressing the patty flat on a high-heat surface — creates a wider, crispier crust than a traditional formed burger. This is not a gimmick; it is a fundamentally different texture profile.
Argentinian Steak Sandwich — $31
Eight ounces of grilled steak on ciabatta with lettuce, tomato, and onion. This is the premium Handheld and the one to order if you want something closer to a full entrée in sandwich form. The Argentinian framing points to a well-seasoned, simply prepared steak rather than a sauce-heavy preparation — the meat is the feature.

Turkey Club and Sola Pepperoni Pizza
The Turkey Club ($24) is a reliable option for anyone who wants something lighter. The Sola Pepperoni Pizza is among the more affordable Handhelds on the menu and the most shareable — practical for groups who are ordering across multiple categories. Confirm current sizing and pricing at the restaurant.
Dinner Specials: Available After 4 PM
The three Dinner Specials represent the most composed, kitchen-forward dishes on the menu. These are available after 4 PM and should be the anchor of any full dinner visit.
Surf & Turf — $46
Eight ounces of steak paired with six jumbo shrimp and two sides of your choice. This is the highest-priced item on the dinner menu and the most complete single plate. The combination of land and sea proteins with two customizable sides makes this a strong value relative to comparable surf and turf offerings across South Beach restaurants.
Sola Risotto — $37
Shrimp or chicken risotto in a creamy parmesan sauce. Risotto is one of the harder dishes to execute correctly in a high-volume restaurant environment because it requires consistent attention during preparation. A well-made risotto should be loose enough to spread on the plate but not soupy. Ordering this dish gives you a reliable read on the kitchen’s technical discipline.
Seafood Pasta — $39
Mixed seafood over spaghetti tossed in tomato sauce. This is the most straightforward of the three Dinner Specials and the one that benefits most from Sola’s access to fresh local seafood. For more detail on how Sola sources and prepares seafood, the fresh seafood dishes guide covers the sourcing philosophy directly.
Entrées: The Full Dinner Range
The Entrées section bridges the gap between the casual Handhelds and the composed Dinner Specials. This is where most full dinner tables will anchor their orders.
NY Strip Steak — $36
A 10-ounce NY strip with two sides. Strip steak is a reliable benchmark for any steakhouse-adjacent menu — it has enough fat marbling to deliver flavor without requiring a complex preparation. At $36 with two included sides, this is one of the better-value protein-forward plates on the menu.
Salmon + Lobster Cream — $33
Grilled salmon topped with lobster cream, served with butter-sautéed vegetables and house potatoes. This is the most distinctive entrée on the menu and the one that most directly reflects Chef Juan Onate’s approach to elevating familiar proteins with refined technique. Lobster cream over salmon is a preparation you encounter more often at higher price points — getting it at $33 in a full-service environment with live entertainment represents genuine value.
Pasta Entrées
The pasta section runs three options:
- Bolognese Pasta — $28: Spaghetti with house Bolognese. A straightforward, well-established dish. The house sauce is the variable that determines quality here.
- Fettuccine Alfredo — $30: Fettuccine in Alfredo sauce with chicken or shrimp. Classic North American interpretation of a Roman pasta. The protein choice matters — shrimp is the stronger pairing with Alfredo.
- Seafood Pasta — $39: Listed in both Dinner Specials and the broader entrée context — available after 4 PM.
Tacos
- Mini Chicken Tacos — $23: Three tacos with chicken, guacamole, fresco cheese, pico de gallo, and sour cream. This is a full-flavored, generously topped plate rather than a stripped-back street taco format.
- Fish Tacos — $25: Tempura snapper on corn tortilla with coleslaw, avocado, and chipotle sauce. Tempura batter on snapper keeps the fish moist and adds textural contrast against the corn tortilla. This is the better-executed of the two taco options for diners who want something more technically interesting.
For a deeper comparison of Sola’s taco options, the best tacos South Beach guide breaks down the fish versus chicken decision directly.
Salads: Starters or Full Meals
Both salads are priced at $21 and can be upgraded into a full meal with protein add-ons.
Caesar Salad — $21
Chopped romaine, parmesan, house-made croutons, and Caesar dressing. Add chicken for $6 or shrimp for $8. With shrimp, this comes to $29 — a reasonable price for a full protein salad in this market.
Greek Salad — $21
Lettuce, tomato, kalamata olives, green peppers, red onions, feta, and cucumbers with vinaigrette. The Greek Salad’s Mediterranean profile is a natural fit for a menu that blends Latin and international influences. Add chicken for $6 or shrimp for $8.
For more on Sola’s Mediterranean-leaning salad options, the fresh salad Mediterranean flavors guide covers the full approach.
Side Dishes — $10 Each
Five sides are available individually at $10:
| Side Dish | Best Pairing |
|---|---|
| French Fries | Classic Burger, Smash Sliders |
| Yellow Rice | Mini Chicken Tacos, Surf & Turf |
| Mashed Potatoes | NY Strip Steak, Surf & Turf |
| Sweet Potato Purée | Salmon + Lobster Cream |
| House Salad | Any protein-heavy entrée |
For entrées that include two sides — the NY Strip and Surf & Turf — select based on balance. A steak with mashed potatoes and house salad covers richness and freshness without overlap. Sweet potato purée alongside the Salmon + Lobster Cream echoes the richness of the lobster sauce in a way that works better than starchy fries.
Desserts — $13 Each
Four desserts close the menu, all priced at $13:
- Churros & Nutella: A Latin-influenced dessert that connects directly to Sola’s cultural identity. The Nutella pairing is crowd-friendly and more interesting than a standard dulce de leche.
- Classic Flan: A properly executed flan is a high-skill dessert — the texture window between underset and rubbery is narrow. A kitchen that does flan well is telling you something about its discipline.
- Key Lime Pie: A Miami staple. Key lime pie in South Beach is as much a regional declaration as a dessert choice. Expect genuine key lime tartness rather than a sweetened lime approximation.
- Chocolate Mousse Cake: The richest option on the dessert menu. Best ordered when the table is splitting it.
Bottomless Sangria: The $40 Dinner Add-On
Bottomless Sangria is available as a dinner add-on — pricing and the service window duration are subject to change, so confirm the current rate when booking. When available, it functions as a fixed-cost beverage solution for a full dinner — no per-drink decisions, no bill creep from individual cocktail rounds.
According to Statista, the average price of a cocktail at a full-service restaurant in the US reached approximately $14 to $16 in 2024. Three cocktails over a 2-hour dinner would cost $42 to $48 individually — meaning the Bottomless Sangria offers comparable or better value for anyone who expects to drink consistently throughout the meal.
A timed service window is standard for bottomless alcohol programs across the industry. Plan your arrival time accordingly, and confirm the exact window with Sola when you book.
Pricing and What to Expect on Your Check
Every check at Sola South Beach includes a service charge and Florida sales tax. The service charge percentage is stated on the menu — confirm the current figure directly with the restaurant, as this is standard practice for full-service venues in Miami Beach and not a surprise addition.

- Light dinner (Handheld + side + dessert, no alcohol): budget range will vary — confirm current menu prices before your visit
