Sol Y Luna

I was having one of those days. The kind where I'd agreed to meet a friend for lunch and then went to the wrong restaurant.

This is the same Laurel Park space most recently occupied by Ling's Bistro. Just after we sat down, bean dip … [Read more...]

I forgot to bring a menu home with me so I will have to rely on memory for names and spellings. There were not a lot of tables filled at 7:00 pm., but as they haven't had a Grand Opening yet, I can understand. I don't know if it was busy earlier. Our Dining experience: A surprise: the rice chips and dipping sauce. … [Read more...]

My first thought when meeting Scott was that he's one of those people who have a "bigger than life" personality, with a voice that could … [Read more...]
