Solstice Cafe's Failure to Launch

Located at 1625 Tremont Street just a few seconds walk from the Brigham Circle T Stop is a cute little place called the Solstice Cafe. My dad had actually pointed it out at a recent visit in Boston. He marveled at the fact that I hadn't tried it or even taken notice of it to this point.

Well I kept the cafe in mind after he pointed it out, but after reading the menu on the door last Sunday, I was shocked to find the door locked. The hours posted on the door clearly indicated that Sunday brunch was served until 4:00 p.m., yet they we were around 11 or 12 that morning and the door was locked. I even tried calling the number (617-566-5958) posted on the door and got a message confirming that the hours posted were indeed correct. I had the option of leaving a message but declined to do so.

I just now read a few reviews of the Solstice Cafe, and the results were promising. I will certainly make another attempt considering it is right down the street from my apartment, but hopefully I won't strike out again. After all, strike one led a miserable experience at Flames.
