| - Driving down Scottsdale Road on a Saturday morning we passed the Breakfast Club (which isn't my favorite anyway) and it is packed with people and tons of people waiting for tables. We arrive at Dottie's and there are about 3 tables on the patio with people and just one other table inside, usually my motto is "No people = no good" but we were hungry and figured it was new so we would give it a try.
The inside is nice and bright, a drastic change from when I was there when it was Bada Boom Pasta Room (another overrated Scottsdale place). Upon looking at the menu, there wasn't anything that jumped out at me, the menu didn't seem all that interesting and there were not a lot of choices. Deciding how you wanted your eggs cooked and which breakfast meat you wanted them served with or what fillings you wanted in your omelet were the only decisions to make. I ordered an omelet and the server suggested I try the homemade buttermilk dill bread as my toast, so I went for that. My dining companions also go an omelet and one got poached eggs with sausage.
The food came out relatively quickly, which was expected with not many people being in the restaurant. The omelet was nice and fluffy and it was generously filled with my selections, but that was about the only good part of the plate. While the thick slices of toast looked tasty, they had no taste whatsoever. There was no dill, no nothing....I wasn't sure what they wanted it to taste like, but it just tasted crunchy to me. The breakfast potatoes were even worse! They gave us a huge portion but they were covered in oil and were not even cooked through all the way, and even though they appeared to be seasoned, they too had no taste.
Our waiter was sort of absentee, just wandering around the restaurant. He made a few goofs, bringing me a Sprite when I ordered water and bringing my dad their "special" buttermilk dill toast instead of the wheat bread that he asked for, but he was hard to track down so we just went with the flow.
I also felt that the prices were a bit on the high side, with breakfast for 3 coming to over $30 with no beverages ordered.
I am always on the hunt for a new breakfast spot....but Dottie's does not make the list...and after we left and continued down Scottsdale Road, we noticed that the Daily Dose also had a huge group of people waiting....maybe Dottie's is off of their list too.
