| - I visited Geppetto last weekend with my boyfriend. We were happy to get seated right away, since it can be hard to get a table for brunch in Lawrenceville. My boyfriend had the french toast, and added an egg and bacon. I had the salmon crepe and added a dippy egg and bacon. They have pre-made crepes, as well as a make your own crepe, however I found that once I totaled up all of the items for my possible make my own crepe it got pricey, so I decided to go with the pre-made salmon crepe. I was also hoping there would be more options for breakfast style crepes as well, (with eggs in them) however there was only 1 "breakfast crepe" on the menu.
Everyone was very nice there, but I could tell that they are working everything out still with being such a new restaurant. Our food arrived and they seemed to have had a mix up with my boyfriends eggs, or forgotten them, so he had to wait for them to be cooked. It only took a few min, so not a huge deal. My salmon crepe was good, however it was a little dry. It had a cream cheese in it, and I agree with one of the other reviewers on here that said the dry cheeses don't seem to work as well in the crepes, at least without some kind of sauce on top. The dippy egg helped a little. It came with a side salad and I added my side of bacon. I hate to say that the bacon was horrible, but there are some really good butchers around here, so I have to say it. It was super, super thin and greasy. Next time, I would forego adding it on. Some people may like it that way I suppose, but I prefer thick cut bacon, this bacon was falling apart because it was so thin. My boyfriends french toast was good, but he had the same comments about the bacon. My crepe was pretty large as well. My boyfriends french toast was a decent size, but nothing crazy.
We will definitely be back to check it out again, I foresee them working out a few things and overall becoming a nice addition to Lawrenceville.
