I attended a birthday party with girlfriends here, and things were definitely a hit or miss. The chicken empandas were dry, and the dough was thick, but the dip was delicious. We all ordered different entrées and shared in tasting...ALL the crepes were good. The hamburger was my favorite. The Hawaiian mimosa was excellent! Cashing out was discombobulated. I got my check, paid with gratuity due to the party size, and I gave an additional tip....then the waitress came around as we were leaving because she forgot to add food onto some tickets, including mine, with gratuity on the 2nd tickets as well. That's NOT cool. Gratitude should be waived when you forget.
BLUF: My #️⃣1️⃣ brunch this year! So the menu prices seem a little high UNTIL you get the food and it is 😍 and even more DELICIOUS. My husband had a sweet peaches and cream crepe (YUM), while I had the savory French crepe with a perfectly cooked poached egg hidden inside a masterfully constructed crepe Parthenon, full of asparagus (crisp but not raw), mushrooms (sauteed but not soggy), ham, and finished with a brie, provolone, mozzarella blend which was HEAVENLY. I can't wait to go back! Just go ahead and take my $ - it's worth it 🤤
Looking at the menu and walking in I had very hi hopes. Really nice atmosphere and we were greeted very welcomingly. On the positive side our server was as nice as she could be. Very friendly and kind. She was very attentive but the service itself was Soooo Slllooowwwww. I didnt expect this because there were only three tables there for Saturday lunch. The apps were amazing but super tiny. Like almost funny how tiny they were. The mini empanadas were really really mini. In size that is. In taste however they were enourmous. Maybe the best empanadas I've had. Please know I travel often to Central and South America and if empanadas are on the menu I'm going to get them. The plantain cheese sticks were also incredible. Both came with a cilantro dip that I could have drank from a glass...my goodness it was divine. Thats where the good stops. Our main dishes left much to be desired. Ine of my guests got the Les Crepes breakfast crepe and couldnt eat it because it was so dry. The seafood crepe I heard was good and my cocorico crepe was ok. Just didnt wow me like the apps did. Ordered two drinks before dinner and it took 15 min to get them and my espresso martini was so watered down it tasted like iced coffee. If they make it around for a while I might go for happy hour and more apps and to perhaps try a sweet crepe but its sad when the worst part of your menu is your namesake.
Fantastic food and some of the best/friendliest customer service I have ever experienced. They were short staffed on a holiday weekend but still made sure every customer's experience was amazing. The cowboy & carbanaro crepes were really good as well as the poached egg one. The portions are pretty big, so we are looking forward to trying the sweet crepes next time. They have an affordable happy hour, be sure to order the French 75! Shout out to our server she was awesome! Wish I could remember her name.
It was...okay. Now mind you I tried the savory crepes (Lobster and Crab). For all I know the dessert crepes could be off the chain! I would definitely suggest you try this restaurant if you want something different. The staff were amazing! They were very polite and friendly. My drink, the Hawaiian Mimosa was delicious. But the raviolis and the crepes were okay. If I could describe my feelings, I would liken it to finding out it's movie day in class. You're all excited for it but then you find out the movie is Jawbreaker. Yeah...no math..but it's Jawbreaker...which is okay movie but we would have rather watched The Craft. Overall: okay food, great staff, good drinks, and a good atmosphere.
