"If you just moved here from Europe and are used to waiting, and waiting, and waiting...and waiting to be served you might feel at home in Sonata's. I kid you not, my guest and I waited over 45 minutes from the time we ordered until our food arrived at our table. Were they busy? NOPE! There were only two other tables in the whole place - and it is large - that were occupied. Was it an \"off time\" to be eating. It was NOON so I guess the answer to that is also a NOPE! Now for the food. Was it worth the wait? My guest had the stuffed cod which turned out to be an undersized (about 2 inches by 3 inches) piece of grilled fish with some stuff in it (supposedly sea food). I don't know what he expected for only $22. I ordered the Schnitzel. Being a full-blooded Saxon how could I resist. I was envisioning the plate covering, and hanging over the edge of the plate, pan fried goodness of a piece of pounded out to a thin patty of pork. WRONG AGAIN! I got a piece of pork about the size of the average beverage coaster which varied in thickness from about 3/4 of an inch in places to under 1/8 of an inch in most others. It was served on a bed of some kind of shredded dark green uncooked vegetable matter, and it was topped with a fried sunny-side-up egg the edges of which were fried to crisp and the whites to rubber. Now let's dig in to the fries which come as a side with the Schnitzel. They were great! No kidding they were great. Hot, crisp, fresh, and ready to be dipped into the ramekin of catsup with which they are served. The first fry actually broke when it hit the surface of the catsup. No kidding. The catsup had a hardened layer on the top that the fry could not break through. I am under the distinct impression that my ramekin of catsup had been filled well before I ordered this lunch, like maybe some time in January. I guess for only 18 dollars, I shouldn't expect fresh with no surface-skin catsup with my lunch. \nIn case you are not aware by now, this place is on my NEVER EVER AGAIN NFW list of places to take a friend for lunch."^^ .
