| - This is my new, favorite breakfast/lunch spot. I rarely travel to dine outside my neighborhood since we have so many options.
Prior to taking a shopping trip with my son to Scottsdale Quarter, I decided to take a look at the dining options and found this gem. After looking at the photos and menu, we decided to give it a try.
Wow! We were pleasantly surprised. Since it was around lunch time a few days after Christmas, they were quite busy. It was a perfect day to enjoy their small outside area that is surrounded by an unobtrusive railing and includes outdoor heaters for chilly mornings, and we were quickly seated there by a very friendly young man.
Our waitress arrived quickly to take our drink order and clarify any questions we had about the menu. She remained attentive throughout the time we were there despite the fast-paced rush.
My son selected the blueberry french toast, and I chose a classic benedict bowl from their beta menu. When seated and while ordering, we were told they were a scratch kitchen, and everything is made daily in house including the hollandaise sauce. I am 55 and have been in love with eggs benedict and hollandaise sauce since I was a child. Theirs is absolutely the best I've ever had. I managed to eat way more of the large portion than I thought I could because I didn't want to stop.
I also ordered a bloody mary and was delighted with my drink as well. Just the right amount of spice, and the rim of the glass was dipped in candied bacon bits (yum).
Prices were very reasonable (two entrees and drinks [my son had tea] for right around $40) considering the location, portion size, and quality.
I can't wait to go back and look forward to bringing friends and family from out of town when they visit.
