| - I literally forgot that I'd been here before until Yelp told me I'd already reviewed it? I guess that's how unmemorable it was. I gave it a 4-star review last time because things seemed okay besides the emptiness and decor, but it seems a second visit two years later has only dropped two stars off my opinion.
The first thing I noticed was, again, it looks so sad. Not crying sad, but like, pitiful sad. The only reason we knew it was open was because of the little neon open sign. We came in and it was absolutely empty, not even servers were there. We thought we were mistaken til a woman appeared about a minute after uncertainly seating ourselves.
The first thing she did was ask us if we wanted to be seated by the heater instead, as it was chilly out, which was really considerate and appreciated. I run very warm, so we declined. Then she asked us if we wanted hot or cold water. Since we were both already toasty, we asked for cold. I remember, because I've never asked for hot water in a restaurant, ever. She brings us hot water--whatever, simple mistake. When I correct her, she's annoyed (???).
Orders come with two crepes, reasonably sized, but I wouldn't say big. My girlfriend and I got the nutella, banana, strawberry crepe. For some reason, they make that here with nutella in the crepe, but with the fruit on the outside instead of inside?? Never seen that before.
It came with strawberry syrup, and I asked for mine without. Server comes back with it having strawberry syrup and says "You wanted no chocolate syrup right?" My girlfriend's crepe (which came before mine, and how I knew about the strawberry syrup in the first place) had no chocolate syrup, so I can only imagine she meant the nutella? Just...bizarre. I clarified, and again she's visibly irritated with me. It comes back tasting fine.
I also got the spinach, tomato, egg and feta crepe. This one was a huge miss. Partly my fault, because I should've asked for the egg to be omitted. It just didn't fit with the taste of the rest of ingredients at all. Crepe also tasted overly sweet to me, just making the egg thing worse which was gross considering it was supposed to be a savory crepe. There was barely any feta in it at all. I've had a similar crepe (without egg) recently and that was delicious. I wanted to like this one, but it just..did not taste good.
My girlfriend got a side of sweet potato fries, which she enjoyed. We also both got mochas-- good, nothing special.
Disappointed I came back and spent ~$45 here. Won't be making the same mistake.
