| - I have been to Sonata's twice in the last few months and have had two different experiences. When you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Even the patio bar is pretty. I think they did a fantastic job with the design.
The first time I tried Sonata's, my friend and I were quickly greeted by the hostess. We were seated immediately and our server, while pleasant was not as attentive as I would have liked. We started with the smoked braised beef perogies, which were delicious! I ordered the chicken kiev and my friend ordered the hay smoked lamb. The chicken kiev was rich, creamy, and crunchy. It was really good. My friends lamb was good, not great. He had a difficult time eating it because it was resting on the hay, and the dish they serve it on is very small, so cutting a chop was sort of difficult. He liked the side better than the lamb itself. I tried the currant martini, and during this visit it was delicious had a nice berry and almost cherry flavor.
The second time I visited Sonata's, we were again greeted, but there seemed to be some confusion about where to seat us and where our hostess was taking us. Our server was delightful, she was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the black currant martini, but this time it tasted like lemon and bad raspberry vodka. We started with the potato perogies, which were very good! I ordered the stroganoff with egg noodles. While the noodles had a great chew, there was like 2-3 in my bowl, which I find a little pathetic for the price. The beef was extremely overcooked, making it almost impossible to chew through some portions. My friend got the chicken kiev, which was again, delicious!
I would go back to try some other items. I hope to see more consistency, and I would like a bit better portions for some of the prices they are charging.
