| - My friend's cousin took us to this place as she'd heard a lot about it. I never say no to crepes, so in we went. It was an interesting vibe, good concept, not too full in the late afternoon.
Friend and I thought we could take advantage of happy hour deals but we were promptly told by the waitress that there is NO happy hour in all of North Carolina. What a travesty! We almost didn't believe her and then learned, you Charlotte-ians have worked your way around that problem. You just call them "specials" and offer them all day long (and I'm not sure how exactly this all day special is supposed to prevent binge drinking...) Whatever, as long as I get my $1 off that beer.
Onto the food - I only sampled the crepes the other two gals had. One was a sausage and peppers with shallots, and the sausage was delicious, but there wasn't enough stuffing, and I wasn't a fan of the buckwheat crepe, it just doesn't taste good on its own. With more stuffing and flavor, this crepe would have been delish. The other crepe was the wild mushroom and spinach with caramelized shallots and goat cheese, so I was expecting a lot of great flavors. But it too fell short, it needed more salt and seasoning, and more stuffing.
The slaw was decent, I prefer this vinegar slaw to the regular slaw.
The beer was good, wish they had "specials" on the wine, and the service was ok, a little over-attentive, and then a little over-apologetic when we noted our "special" on the beer wasn't accounted for.
