It might be easier to get into Wharton than into this insanely popular Bella Vista brunch spot on a Sunday. Manage to snag a prime al fresco perch among the Bella Vista yuppies and shih-tzu puppies on the rickety patio furniture, and the friendly tattooed waitresses will bring Fluffy a bowl of water and you a steaming mug of La Colombe. The cups don’t match, the tables wobble, and the multiple rooms feel like a cruel fun house when nursing a Saturday night hangover, but it’s all part of Sabrina’s quirky charm. Stick to the inspired blackboard specials; the ever-changing stuffed French toast—dressed with amaretto-laced peaches one day and vanilla-honeysuckle syrup another—is highly addictive.
