Wow! What an enjoyable experience. We had planned to go elsewhere - but come on .. a 75 minute wait for some pancakes and eggs? We "yelped" and found Sonata's had great reviews - called over, just a couple of blocks away - and no wait!
The coffee was fantastic - served with sugar cubes and a small marshmallow chocolate - yum! I ordered the Croque Madame. Much more food that I would have expected! Egg cooked perfectly, the béchamel sauce, Gruyere cheese - sliced tomatoes - sour dough bread... was perfect. Filled with a yummy shaved ham and I swear a country slice of bacon - but tis not on the menu - but I swear it was there. I'm a big eater - and I was pleasantly filled. We shared a crepe suzette. Perfect!
My dining companions had various savory crepes and one had the breakfast sandwich - everyone was pleased. Loved the presentation on slate plates. The fries. OMG the FRIES! I judge a restaurant by how they pull off one of the simplest of menu items. These were crispy, hot, and served in their own little cauldron. Even as they cooled off - they were incredibly good. Fantastic.
A nice live music from inside could be heard out on the patio. Sunday brunch doesn't get much better than this!
I hesitate to praise much - I'm afraid the crowds will find this little gem and we'll be standing in line. But for now, this is my new favorite brunch spot Scottsdale. Or Phoenix for that matter!
Bravo!
