"All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!"
-Lucy Van Pelt, Peanuts

Chocolate at sola:

Fall in love with chocolate by indulging in sola's decadent desserts. Order one for yourself or split one with your Valentine!

* Soft Center Chocolate Cake-sesame brittle ice cream, wasabi vanilla bean syrup

Pair this soft, luscious cake with a dark, creamy, chocolatey Guinness stout.

* Mai'a Hot Fudge Sundae-banana ice cream, hot fudge, macadamia nuts

Pair this twist on the classic sundae with a nutty, lusty, caramel-y smooth Churchill's Tawny Port.

* S'mores-vanilla marshmallow, graham cracker, maple ice cream, rogue chocolate stout syrup

Pair this gooey yet grown-up campfire treat with sola's wine of the month: M. Chapoutier Banyuls, a sophisticated dessert wine full of rich cocoa and fruity aromas and a long, velvety finish.


February at sola is all about chocolate, the most romantic food in the world!

Facts about Chocolate:

* The Aztecs and Mayas held chocolate in such high regard that they used it as currency.
* Chocolate contains phenylethylamine (PEA), which creates a chemical reaction in the brain similar to that of falling in love.
* During WWII, the U.S. government commissioned Milton Hershey to create a candy bar for soldiers' rations. The Hershey Bar was so successful that Hershey Chocolate Co. was called upon during the Persian War to create a chocolate that could withstand high temperatures, later called "Desert Bars."
* In 1960, chocolate syrup was used to simulate blood in the famous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.
