    Restaurant rules are different at Ethiopian Sunlight
    Be patient, and adjust your expectations - By Karen Nitkin
    Baltimore Sun

    " On the bright side, one of the great things about the Baltimore restaurant scene is that quirky, funky, play-by-their-own rules restaurants like Sunlight still exist.

    To enjoy a meal at this little Ethiopian restaurant in Fells Point, it's necessary to suspend many of the usual expectations one might have at a restaurant -- that you'll get what you order, that it will arrive in less than an hour, and that you'll be able to cool the fire in your mouth with regularly refilled water glasses.
