I'm officially in love with Sol Y Sombra. I wasn't sure if I had room in my heart to love another tapas place, but turns out I'm shameless and can love many at one time.
My visit to Sol y Sombra was on a beautiful spring evening. Mr. Hottie and I decided to go out on a date. There was a nice breeze so we chose to sit outside. We were greeted by a server that was QUITE enthusiastic almost to the point of annoyance, but hey he was friendly and attentive.
We looked over the menu and I suggested that we order every single item on it. I was reigned in and made to pick out 6 dishes. We ordered the:
*Tortilla Espanola -amazing, I could have devoured the whole slice by myself.
*Brussels sprouts- I didn't like them. For some reason the cook must have gone crazy with the lemon. We sent them back.
*Chilled Asparagus w/Romanesco sauce- YUM! Big thick spears of asparagus covered with a creamy red sauce.
*Gambas a la plancha- LARGE shrimp with a garlic aioli. The shrimp were tender and juicy. Fantastic.
*Skirt steak ala plancha with romanesco sauce- tender, juicy nice char flavor and more of that glorious sauce.
We washed it all down with copious amounts of sangria and I was in heaven!
I will CERTAINLY return to Sol y Sombra again! It was a relaxing spot with great food and good service.
