So today we we strayed a bit from our typical Saturday trip to Tivoli Village for the Farmers Market and Breakfast at the Amazing Cafe Leone and decided to duck out of the sun and to checkout The Crepe.
We had walked by it numerous times in the past but could never quite figure what it actually was a restaurant, Desert and Coffee shop or music venue? But the in-laws were in town and my Nephew loves Crepes so we decided to check it out.
While my brother in law ordered a Crepe and a couple drinks at the counter we Sat-down in the Cafe style setup and waited for the food.
A cordial waitress put some silverware on the table and a small plate of sliced fruit and asked if we would like drinks or anything else which we declined. Then it got a bit bizarre. While my nephew ate his Crepe a Crepe chef approached us to ask if we ordered food and then a manager approached 10 minutes later telling us they had a reservation in 15 minutes and needed the table. So after sitting for a max of fifteen min from the time we walked in the door ( at a Coffee and Dessert Cafe) we were basically asked to leave surrounded by a series of empty table tops. And the kids were good as gold so there were not any extenuating circumstances there.
So we left for a walk through the Boutique shops without ordering a couple Coffees for the walk or leaving a nice tip for the server which is our custom in this setting.
While I still have no clue what it is the Crepe is trying to be or was trying to accomplish in it's approach towards us. I do know it's an establishment we will not be frequenting again. And truly hope that the reason for their approach had everything to do with having a bad day and nothing to do with discrimination.
