| - In August I purchased a living social coupon for Crepe Cellar that cost $20 for $40 worth of food. My first attempt to try it out happened to be on a Monday, and when we arrived, we saw that they weren't open. Sadly, we had to dine elsewhere. But last weekend a friend and I decided at the last minute to check it out, and I was not disappointed. A breakdown of dinner:
1. Soup of the day - poblano sweet potato - very good but quite spicy. We didn't actually order any of this, but they said we could try if we wanted, so we did.
2. Chili shrimp appetizer - very good - solid amount of shrimp and a large baguette to dip in the chili sauce.
3. Salads - my friend and I both got a salad and were pleased with our choices. She ordered the Charcuterie salad with chicken and I got the Endive & Apple salad with grilled shrimp. The ginger maple dressing on my salad was phenomenal.
4. We split the brownie in a blanket dessert, which is actually that - a huge brownie wrapped in a crepe with a scoop of ice cream and a humongous scoop of whip cream. Really good thing we decided to split dessert because it would have been impossible to each eat our own.
We arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday, so got a parking spot on the street and didn't have to wait. But the place quickly filled up (there's not a ton of seating), so I'd try to make reservations or not show up at peak times if you don't want to wait. It's a bit dark in there, but very cool vibe overall. And the service was good, although food was a bit pricey. Yay for living social coupons!
