Having been one of those "Crazies" who waited in line at the Original Dottie's in San Francisco, how refreshing to be able to walk in, sit down and have a piping hot (steaming) cup of coffee almost immediately? Very!
That being said, it has taken me several visits, alone and with friends, to decide if this version of Dottie's deserves Four or Five Stars. Well, Four Stars is my Rating. Why?
The Daily Muffin Special - EXTRAORDINARY!
The Pancakes - Anything served with real Maple Syrup will win!
The Pulled Pork Omelet - Marvelous!
The Lamb Sausage Omelet - Unique and great.
The Cornbread - I want the recipe!
The French Toast - In spite of the Maple Syrup, just okay
Black Bean Cakes - NOT as good as I remember the originals
The Southwestern - Disappointing for the price
The Patio is wonderful and the service equally wonderful.
Why NOT five Stars? I believe when they get their "legs under them" Dottie's will be a "go to" for breakfast in Scottsdale. Right now it is just darn good!
