Unbelievable! Come to think of it, which proprietor was it? I have to admit that although our server was amazingly friendly and warm, there was an older woman who was the hostess (and possible the proprietor) who was not terribly friendly. Perhaps it was her?

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were instantly impressed by the decoration and atmosphere. One of the server quickly checked our reservation (highly recommended) and got us to our table. She also quickly got us started with a drink. My wife took her recommendation and got a royal mojito, which used champaign instead of club soda as in a regular mojito (our server explained). We then got our appetizers, which were monkfish rolls with sweet and sour sauce and a crab cakes with papaya salad. They both were excellent. We then proceeded with our main dishes. I picked one of the day's specials - steamed seafood with spicy tomato sauce and my wife picked one of the house specialties - jumbo shrimps and scallops with risotto. We were very pleased with our entree. Both were plentiful and well prepared. Our experience at Sol e Luna was almost perfect, if one of the proprietor did not try to hurry us to finish our meals so that she could have our table because more guests started to arrive. After we were hurried off our table and went to sit at the bar to wait for taxis, it was our horror to see with our own eyes that the same proprietor who hurried us prepared mojito drinks re-using mint leaves from the finished drinks from other restaurant patrons. We did not know if it was an isolated incident in which the restaurant re-used serving materials. As an afterthought, we should have confronted the lady about it.
