Sol y Sombra is a good addition to North Scottsdale's collection of restaurant/lounges. It's located in DC Ranch, so right away you know it's going to attract the hipsters and the wealthy, but nothing's wrong with that, right?
I've been a few times, once for the Stoli Blueberry launch, once just for cocktails and the last time for cocktails and dinner. I had good experiences every time, although I feel the servers could be a little more attentive.
The tapas are good, the cocktails are stiff and the ambience is young and lively. They have a great tapas brunch (or so I've heard from quite a few people) and there is often a live DJ spinning music on the weekends.
The cool thing about Sol y Sombra is that it's also a night spot and people come there just to hang out and grab a drink instead of going to a club.
