text: This review has been a longtime coming and really what kept me from writing this was the potential for public scrutiny from readers and the fear of burning a bridge But really all that does not matter because the motivator is that I am simply an unhappy customer who tips well is polite and goes out of her way to be friendlynnI have been going to Sonora or ratherSun Up for a bit over years I used to love this place I loved it because it was not only a great brew house but it also offered deliciously consistent food that was served by a friendly staff The Kobe burgers and the fish and chips were to die for and the micro IPA and other brew delights were as good if not better than the micro brews in Portland OR nnI cannot express enough how disappointed I am with the old Sonora with the red chili gone the only vegetarian item on the old menu gone and the kicker are the fish and chips Now fetching I would think that one could expect an attempt for goodness But instead I got a plate of thick ass dry white fish that was encased in a cocoon of batter that would rival a sub sandwich Do you remember when this place used to have fish and chips that were on par with the UKnnWhat happened to you old Sonora Why must you compete with Postions and the like You are not that You are not a moderately price wine bar nor are you an Irish pub You are a micro brew with delicious beer that once boasted fantastic food You were a place to go for the best Kobe burger or English Style fish and chips in all of Down Town PhoenixnnNow you are becoming a hasbeen a place that if it were not for the good brew you would be just another forgettable restaurant I used to feel welcome it was my neighborhood place to go for a few beers and a delicious burger but it seems that I must search out a new place to frequent Shame really
