Ha'ule I loko sola! (Fall Into sola)

Ingredient of the Month:
Farmers Market Asian Melons

As sad as it may be, summer is winding down and autumn falls upon us on September 22nd. The upside of transitioning into a new season is all of the new ingredients that are at their peak! This month, Chef Carol Wallack is featuring Asian melons from Chicago's Green City Market. Stop into sola and try them in our september prix fixe menu.

Facts about Melons

* Melons are a good source of vitamin C and potassium.
* Most melons will benefit from a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to enhance the flavor and served at room temperature.
* Melon seeds were transported to the United States by Columbus and eventually cultivated by Spanish explorers in California.

Due to the growing popularity of our Prix Fixe Menu we have decided to offer it on Mondays beginning in September.

Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Chef Wallack and Chef de Cuisine Alex Shalev are offering an affordable Three-Course Prix-Fixe Menu available for dinner, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

The menu is priced at $30 per person and for just $15 more you can add a wine pairing, selected by our own wine connoisseur, to complement each course.

Would you like to see your favorite ingredient featured on sola's prix-fixe menu?
You can send your own suggestions for Chef Wallack to consider for an upcoming menu. Just email sola at dine@sola-restaurant.com.
