| - A photo in the Isthmus of the Ricotta Crepes drew me to this supposed "hidden gem" one Saturday afternoon, but from my experience I will not be returning anytime soon.
I came in midday for brunch already knowing what I wanted; the crepes. Turns out they were out, and even though they could have made another batch of crepes, the counter person did not make me feel welcome to order what I really wanted. SHe made it seem like it would be a huge hassle.
I didn't want to piss any of the three people working off, so I pondered the menu a moment...
It is exactly like La Brioche but a few dollars cheaper. They have salads, soups, sandwiches, and a few breakfast treats like crepes and french toast.
I decided soup would be my next best bet- and guess what, they also ran out of that. I guess you need to come here at the crack of dawn or everything could be gone.
Disappointed, I ordered the Berry Salad. While I was waiting for my food I couldn't help but notice the shabby interior and funny smell of the place- they need to get some ventilation going in there.
When my salad came, and I took my first bite, I noticed a moldy raspberry sitting on top. I immediately stopped eating and left.
Everything about my trip to this restaurant just sucked. I wanted to like it and be satisfied but it wasn't the case.
Sorry La Petite Croissant, but you have some major work to do.
