Ha'ule a la sola! (Fall into sola)

With the economy the way it is now, every penny counts. Make your cash go a long way with sola's Prix Fixe menu!

Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Chef Wallack and Chef de Cuisine Alex Shalev offer 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.

Ingredient of the Month: Squash

Fall is here and now is the time to stay inside and keep warm! Cozy up at sola next to the fireplace while enjoying sola's comforting fall dishes. This month's featured ingredient is squash, which we are using in many menu items, savory and sweet. Next time you dine at sola, finish your meal with the candied squash and sweet potato tart!

Facts about Squash

The smallest squash are usually the tastiest!

Winter squash develops more beta carotene after being stored than it has immediately after picking.

Squash is low in calories, fat and sodium and a good source of fiber and potassium.

Drink of the Month: Kiss My Apple!

Forget the mess of caramel covered apples! Try sola's version with a little twist. The Kiss my Apple is a mix of Stoli vanil, house made caramel apple syrup, cream and walnut liquor. All the taste of a caramel apple in a glass, without the stick!
