Testimonial for the Sonoran Bed & Breakfast
Testimonial for the Sonoran Bed & Breakfast

"For a great getaway that's not too far away come stay at the Sonoran Bed and Breakfast....."
If you are looking for an occasion for a romantic dinner for two, then you definitely want to take the short trip to just north of the mile 100 marker on Oracle and spend an evening at the Sonoran Bed and Breakfast.
When I planned the evening, Mary told me that this is not like ordering at a traditional restaurant. I need to provide her with an idea of what we would like to eat. So, I selected some of our favorite food including Caesar salad, butternut squash soup, rack of lamb, and of course anything chocolate for dessert.
Warmly greeted by our gracious and talented hosts Mary & Michel Gibson for a private dinner for two, my husband and I had no idea what a wonderful evening awaited us. Despite the monsoon rain, a double rainbow was soon to present itself – just adding to the romance of the evening.
We started our meal with a major decision, which of the selection of wines paired to the planned dinner would meet with our approval. The bread, freshly baked, and aromatic also paired to the entrée to follow was amazing. The classic Caesar Salad included generous croutons, slices of parmesan cheese and a light dressing. The butternut squash soup was definitely one of the best Michael and I have had. The addition of pepitos added pep and crunch to the experience. The wee surprise of the evening was a cantaloupe and mint sorbet, to cleanse the palate before the entrée. The rack of lamb, done to perfection according to our preference, shared the plate with glistening baby veggies, garlic mashed potatoes and of course a garnish of rosemary. Sprigs of rosemary also adorned the centerpiece created just for us.
If that was not enough, the individual truffle cakes with fresh raspberries were the crowning glory to our meal. We wisely decided to split one and take the other home to enjoy later in the week. We both look forward to future opportunities to dine with our new friends at the romantic getaway that is not too far away…
