Sonata Cafe Bar & Art

I went here for the first time last night and it was nothing like I expected.  I was expecting more comfy chairs and coffee shop than the restaurant/bar that I found.  We went on a Saturday with no reservations but because we got there at 6:30 we were still able to get a seat at the bar.  So I guess my advice would be to make a reservation.  

I ordered a coffee (even though I didn't feel like I was in a coffee shop) and it seemed like they really just brought me a giant cup of espresso.  It threw me off because it had foam on it.  I don't really know what I drank but it still tasted good and I drank it all.  

We ordered the pappardelle al fungui (pasta with mushrooms) and dedo de pollo (chicken stuffed with goat cheese and then wrapped in bacon).  Both of us very much liked our food.  The pasta easily could have been a dish on its own (if you weren't starving).  I only ate about half of it.

While sitting at the bar I did notice a lot of fun drinks being made and it seems like it would be a fun place to come grab cocktails some time.  I'll have to remember this place when I'm looking for a place to go with some of my North side friends.

Went there on a Friday night , they had live music, a great atmosphere, everything seem good until we ordered ,and got BLOWN AWAY with the food ! They don't have a huge menu, but there's so many different flavors in every plate,  not at all the typical kind of  food you find around here ,they have amazing art, and a really nice hostess , even though we didn't have a reservation she told us she'll get us a  table upstairs..( the main dining area) , and she sat us on a table by the window with a nice view of Main street. Extensive  cocktail and wine menu, definitely coming back!

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, fine service. The servings are extremely small, even for a tapas bar though.
