On a rainy Miami day, it’s inevitable to hope for sun. Yet, hope doesn’t guarantee sunlight; so, Here Comes the Sun will bring light to your day.

Well, not literally.

The dim lights and small eating area left me asking: “Where’s the sun?” But when I sat down, I felt the coziness of the atmosphere. Around me were both locals and tourists, enjoying meals in small booths and tables.

Old Christmas lights with plastic suns decorate the eating area of the restaurant and there is a health food store that operates on the other end of the restaurant.

As I observed the homey surroundings, I leaned back and relaxed while I studied the menu. Prices seemed a bit high, since the average cost of an appetizer is $5 and a meal is $13.

But, taken aback by all the choices, I remembered that Here Comes the Sun fan, junior Jordyn Tate, had recommended I order sweet potato fries as an appetizer, and the “Chicken & Cheese” as a meal, which is “breaded baked chicken breast over basmati rice with low fat cheese and baked in a pizza oven,” as the menu describes.

The waitress was not surprised to hear my order. The “Chicken & Cheese” seems to be one of the most popular meal choices.

As I waited for my order, I munched on saltine crackers that sat in a wicker basket to the side of the table. When the fries arrived, I started to regret those small bites of crackers, since this appetizer was enough to satisfy two. The fries came with what my waitress explained was heated “Sun Sauce,” Here Comes the Sun’s special, secret ingredient dressing. She also said that room temperature “Sun Sauce” was in the yellow bottle by the crackers. She recommended that I use it for my appetizer and meal and also brought honey as an alternative dip.

I tried the round chips without a dip, and they weren’t greasy, but tasted like a soft, mellow potato. The honey dulcified the taste, and the “Sun Sauce” gave the fries a zesty flavor.

My main course arrived, the “Chicken & Cheese.” The savory melted cheese over the soft white-breast chicken and rice was rich and succulent. Although I was full from the big-enough-for-two meal, I wanted to keep eating and savor the delicious taste.

Owner Ken Lorber explained that I was not the only one with this desire for more Here Comes the Sun. He said that their food is shipped to other states, such as New York, based on popular demand. And the best part about the restaurant is that it is hearty and healthy.

With alternative choices for protein, like the “Tofu,” tofu over basmati rice ($12); “Hot One,” steamed vegetables ($11); unique salads and fresh squeezed juices, there are wholesome choices for everyone.

As I paid my bill of $15, I was surprised when the waitress offered me a complimentary vanilla, strawberry or mixed yogurt. The hot meal was complemented by the cold, creamy dessert, and I left satisfied, knowing that I’d soon be back for more.
