Wallack's Sola Shines
By Denise I. O'NealWanting to strike out on her own, the former California surfer girl created a unique concept that offers something for every palate.
Sola's menu is alive with fresh California-style cuisine tweaked with Asian influences, such as Hawaiian snapper with roasted pineapple and shiitake mushrooms as well as traditional homey fare, including braised short ribs.
There are no ho-hum offerings on the brunch menu. Instead, there are items such as Grand Marnier-souffle French toast and huevos benedictos, which combines chorizo sausage, cornbread, salsa and Hollandaise sauce.
Wallack isn't new to the city. She opened Deleece with her sister more than a decade ago and still has an interest in the restaurant.
