| - The good: the owner is nice, the ambiance is pleasant. The crepes themselves (just the crepe, not the ingredients) were good.
The bad: the food. Much of it is frozen and/or canned, which is a bit disappointing for the price. We ordered the St. Tropez (sweet crepe, with orange juice, pears, and whipped cream). The menu says "caramelized" but the pears most definitely were not - they were likely dumped straight from a can onto the crepe. On that type of dish, the whipped cream makes up a large proportion of the total ingredients, which means that it matters to the overall quality of the dish.
Actual conversation with server:
Server: "how was your crepe?"
Me: "It was okay."
Server: "What was wrong? What could have improved it?"
Me: "You don't use real, fresh whipped cream."
Server: "What do you mean? We use fresh Reddi-Whip from a can."
Ah, fresh reddi-whip from a can and canned pears with cheap orange juice. It wasn't horrible (we ate it) but it wasn't worth almost $12 and we won't be back.
Finally, the servers are attentive to the point of being intrusive. We had FIVE different servers come by to try to take our orders before we ordered, and then AFTER we ordered we got at least three other interruptions from servers asking for our orders. I understand they're trying to be attentive and I applaud the effort but ultimately execution is all that matters and they fail dismally. No patron wants to be interrupted throughout their every 3 minutes by servers, period.
