Sol

By Patricia Nugent

Just coming off its eighth Anniversary Celebration, Sol in downtown Willoughby is gearing up for the holidays with a new menu, cocktail introductions, themed brunches, and booking for private parties.

Owners David and Tanja Bartulovic have created a vibrant and eclectic vibe complemented by award-winning fusion dishes and wildly inventive cocktails.

Chef Brandon Hufnagle has been busy perfecting the fall/winter menu, which is set to debut in late November. The comfort-food-with-a-twist dishes will feature many of his modern takes on fusion fare for which Sol has become well known.

Happy hours are super popular here (don’t miss the Taco Trio for $8) and so are the weekly specials of Burger Monday, Taco Tuesday, Steak Wednesday and Perfect Match Thursday.

David reports the most requested drink on the menu from day one has been the Avocado Margarita, served with a zingy cinnamon rim and lime. Just in time for sweater weather, they’ve introduced the Campfire Mule, a bourbon-based cocktail topped with toasted marshmallows. The aromatics alone will give you all the feels. Patrons adore the flights of tequila, margaritas and mimosas.

On Saturday, November 11, at our Back to the ‘80s Brunch, our staff will be

decked out in ‘80s attire. We’ll play music and offer an ‘80s-inspired cocktail,” says Tanja. “We invite our patrons to don the garb for this brunch as well as our Ugly Sweater Holiday Brunch on Saturday, December 9.”

For help with planning your holiday parties, reach out to Catering Manager Deanna LaCorte, who has masterminded countless special events. A variety of festive spaces within the restaurant include the Main Room, which seats up to 80, and the Fire Room, for about 50 people.
