Our Winner: Bryan Woodard
“In a city filled with delicious food, sola remains at the top of my list! It was Carol’s well crafted menu, with it’s gentle nod to Hawaii that first brought me in. Fresh ingedients, exciting flavors, terrific cocktails, and genuine wonderful service are what keeps me coming back. There is a Hawaiian word ‘kama’aina’ to locals, which refers to someone who has been welcomed into their society. That is the feeling I get everytime I enjoy a meal at sola, welcomed into a special society where incredible food and service are the order of the day, every day.
Boom. Best part is it’s All True!!! Love sola!!!
Thanks Carol for helping me celebrate countless birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions, as well as turning an average weeknight into a fantastic night out.”
