Sentiment analysis: 8/25/12 Met a friend here for my first breakfast at Dottie's. I knew he was excited to try this location, since he'd been to the flagship in SF. He told me to bring my appetite and warned that he was going to over-order, but I think we did breakfast just right! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dotties-true-blue-cafe-scottsdale?select=QA8KkDikOa6kjSROv7te6A#d3sa8tTy-MDlsNGtfoGc9w It was a beautiful morning, with most of OTS's inhabitants seeming to still be in bed-- I quite enjoyed the open spaces and lack of pedestrian traffic as I parked into a lot right outside Dottie's front doors (we planned to meet at opening time 7:30a). Michael was seated just a few minutes before, and I believe we were Dottie's first customers. Found the interiors quaint- a diner atmosphere for sure, but cleaner, and definitely more inviting. On my way to the restroom a few minutes later, I found that Dottie's has a second room, whose space seemed more peaceful, as I don't recall seeing a kitchen there, with cooks bustling about. I mentioned to Michael about the second room, which surprised him, since the very room we were in was already a lot larger than the one he'd visited in SF. Coffee was good, for a non-specialty blend (we were told it was a Shamrock Farms product), and we very much appreciated how our cups were filled constantly! Excellent service by our server, whose name escapes me right now (starts with a "T," I think), even though I had to remind her about the whipped cream for our Peach cobbler crumble cake. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dotties-true-blue-cafe-scottsdale?select=pU0UjuOSuVWv03e03_g56Q#pU0UjuOSuVWv03e03_g56Q The fresh-whipped cream arrived almost immediately, and was it a beauty! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4120027511918&set=a.4107818566702.163328.1020200359&type=3 I wholeheartedly recommend others order this pastry should it ever find its way on the daily specials board again! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dotties-true-blue-cafe-scottsdale?select=P-eydevPkLcST4_L6W4nvA#P-eydevPkLcST4_L6W4nvA While Michael ordered the Blueberry cornmeal hotcakes he's had to skip on his SF visit (they had pumpkin bread French toast on the menu then, hello!), I naturally gravitated to the Cinnamon roll French toast, hold the powdered sugar, with honey-cured ham and a fresh fruit cup. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dotties-true-blue-cafe-scottsdale?select=zlftv8fqh0KnEmmCuX6azw#zlftv8fqh0KnEmmCuX6azw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dotties-true-blue-cafe-scottsdale?select=0cPhOrlomtoSQW1ERxB6TA#0cPhOrlomtoSQW1ERxB6TA Another excellent dish, which I polished off almost immediately-- awesome combo of textures when combined with the terrific pure maple syrup (!!) served here. Buddy, I hope you had more than the one piece I remember giving you... (I'm thinking I gave you two!) I must say that I think that the entree should've had a couple more pieces of CR French toast on there. ;) Seriously, though, the photo (thanks to friend for adding them on here) looks like it's lacking something. Buddy said "the powdered sugar," but I would've liked some mascarpone cream sauce, or a generous drizzle of creme anglais... I couldn't try the fresh-baked Cinnamon roll (powdered sugar icing), but I did enjoy the bites I had of the Blueberry-white chocolate streusel muffin Mike had also ordered off the specials board. The blueberries were HUGE and the white chocolate combo made for a very tender and moist cake, and the streusel topping added another great textural layer. Mike "doesn't do leftovers," and so I was able to go home with some, and I will say that the peach cobbler crumble cake was just as good the next day, while not so much with the muffin... If I were you, I'd share that pastry with two or more companions, for it certainly won't keep. We were given a sample of the sausage and biscuits, and while I enjoyed the spice level of the food, I wasn't too crazy about this dish, but I'm sure it's because my digestive system can't handle red and green bell peppers (although I can handle other peppers without problems). However, I will say that the tiny bit of biscuit I had was very, very nice- tender, but not too much so, and flaky. I'd order one or two on future visits, definitely. Very fun breakfast, and I certainly wouldn't mind returning again! :D

Sentiment analysis: We had a Groupon to visit this location. The deal was for two wine flights and an appetizer for just $15 - great deal. We were actually pleasantly surprised that we both were able to have 5 wine tastings each with this deal instead of what we thought would be 5 shared samples. We had the brie appetizer with crackers, which was delish. My fiancee and I are attempting to widen our range of wines that we enjoy so we both branched out a bit and our server was extremely patient and made suggestions and recommendations throughout our time there - he was even kind enough to switch up one of his drink orders since it was similar to one he had tried and didn't care for too much. The Razz was crazy good and we both highly recommend it. We finished off the whole experience with the truffles (well worth the $5!) and I think we only ended up paying about $7 over what we spent on the Groupon itself...so totaled up it was $22 for ten wine samples, one appetizer and an amazing truffle dessert. All in all a great experience and we can add two wines to our list! Overall: A We will be back to this cozy corner in downtown Scottsdale for a relaxing date night out.

Sentiment analysis: The Bank... More like The Dank. This club is small and in a huge square, so it's easy to navigate. The crowd was a bit older, but a bit tacky. Seriously, 40 year old men jamming out to Call Me Maybe just proves how much of a dip shot makes you. The music was all over the place. House to hip-hop to top 40. Really no cohesive vibe. Bottle prices are typical Vegas club prices. If you like their page on FB they give you a free drink ticket. There are better clubs on the strip. Much better. Skip!
