With soft contemporary country and folk music in the background and the sound of graceful waterfalls, we tried a new (for us) restaurant, Oasis Corrales, a desert bistro, for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is decorated with fine art, garden sculptures, and a variety of upscale patio furniture. There is a wine bar, and a few tables on the patio. The wait staff was kind, informative and attentive.
With a limited, but creative menu, all four of us found something to our liking. The grilled steak breakfast burrito was fresh and tasty. It was served with a side of fresh fruit and salsa. They offer 1/2 orders on some dishes which is a welcome option. My sister ordered Eggs Benedict which she declared was "OK". The English Muffin was toasted too much, so she asked for a replacement, and it was quickly provided.
Mom and I had the French Toast which was so good, with some secret ingredient (maybe vanilla?). The serving was quite large, a little too much for a senior. Not everyone can cook turkey bacon well, but ours was delicious.
David had the Breakfast Burrito with eggs, fried potatoes, cheese & green chile (and turkey bacon for an additional $1) for $6. It was very dry, even with the salsa provided. He would have liked more cheese and an additional egg inside. He rated his experience 2/2/5.
Lauren had the Road Runner Breakfast Sandwich for $5. It had eggs, cheddar cheese & ham. It was supposed to come on green chile cheese bread, but it did not. That was disappointing. She rated her experience 3/3/3.5
The coffee is roasted in Cedar Crest, New Mexico, and was a good bold cup. I had both regular and decaf, and both were flavorful.
Other brunch options included Lox and Bagels, Patatas Bravas, and a variety of pastries and espresso drinks.
The only recommendation is to turn the volume down a bit on the music as it was difficult to hold a conversation.
Oasis Corrales is located at 4940 Corrales Road, and their number is 505-792-4720. www.oasiscorrales.com
