   My group enjoyed a great evening at Sonder. I loved all of the good and cocktails I tried. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable, but still had a high end feel.

   Labeling items on your menu that are gluten-free or vegan would be helpful. Also, more non-meat options, besides salad would be nice. I didn't feel like eating meat when I dined there, yet even the brussel sprouts dish had bacon in it.

   The ambiance was great! Very pleased with it right when we walked in. We placed our drink order and then a few minutes later placed our appetizer order. Two friends received their drinks that had to be made, an old fashioned and a sazerac, right away, but when our appetizers arrived, I was still waiting for my wine to be served. The pretzel cheese and gouda dip were great, but the parmesan fries were pretty standard. I ordered the gnocchi, and while the flavor was spot on, I was disappointed with the portion, especially considering the price. One friend got the burger and said it was nothing to write home about, but another friend really enjoyed the fish sandwich, and another said the roasted chicken was great. We were comped a dessert for the wine mishap, so we really appreciated that. Both the creme brulee and peanut butter mousse were delicious. While I think there is room for improvement, I think Sonder is headed in the right direction and I would go back.

   I've been to Sonder several times and it is consistently delicious and beautifully presented. While the menu is somewhat limited there are great options at several price points. We sat outside at my last visit, and other than wobbly tables it was delightful.

   This was our second visit, and like the first, we truly enjoyed our meal. They have a very good bar, a decent wine selection and, while the menu is fairly "compact", there are choices to satisfy anyone's palate. The food is prepared with a true eye for detail, and even the kid's meals were a sight to behold, with the apple slices that accompanied their mac-n-cheese arranged artistically, just because... This is a farm-to-table based restaurant (attached to an actual Farmer's Market) and everything had the delicious flavors that only come from fresh ingredients. This is a pretty small venue and it's not located in a metro area, but hopefully, those who enjoy this type of dining experience will "make the trek" to keep them in business in the future.
