| - I needed an inexpensive breakfast/lunch joint to take my parents after they were gracious enough to drive to AZ to help me pack and move. Being that my Dad was in a car for six hours without any real food, I knew I had to choose the restaurant carefully.
Orange Table was within walking distance of their hotel and wasn't filled with uptight Scottsdale people. So I knew that while my Dad would rather stop at Brackin's for a beer, or the Grapevine for food, Orange Table would do.
The place has the cute cafe atmosphere, with the beer list written on the chalkboard next to the front door. While they weren't able to satisfy my Dad's need for an Irish root beer (Guinness), the waitress patiently dealt with his smack talking and finally made his choose a Delirium Nocturnem, which he ended up loving.
My Dad even loved the food more than his beer, which is hard to get him to admit. He had the red leichester (?) grilled cheese with bacon, Madre has the mushroom omelet, and I had the veggie sandwich. All of us were happy with our orders. I loved my veggie sandwich, which was overflowing with red peppers, avocado, sprouts and the like. And the olive bread it came on was amazing. I had to sample the mushroom omelet, and that sauce was divine.
I would have tried the grilled cheese, but my Dad is like a wild bear when it comes to food. So I opted not to get my hand bitten off and let him devour the thing immediately.
Cute place to grab brunch, I just wish they had salad options.
