I, absolutely, would not return. If you have ANY dietary restrictions or food allergies, be very cautious! I’ve been plant-based, eating a vegan diet, for 9 years, and they brought me a crepe with chicken! I took a bite and knew it was chicken. I checked the menu ingredients of the “veggie crepe” to make sure that this couldn’t possibly be a plant-based chicken; it’s to have veggies only. I ordered the “Veggie Crepe” and my companion ordered the “Poblana Crepe”; both of these crepes are listed as vegan on their “vegan/gluten free” menu. When the food was brought out, the runner said “veggie crepe” and sat the plate in front of me and then said “poblana” and sat the plate in front of my companion. Mine turned out to be the chicken crepe and my companion’s turned out to be the veggie. I waved down, who I assumed to be the host/greeter, because he was nearest when I figured I had bitten into chicken. I told him what was going on and it didn’t seem like he got the gravity of the situation. It seemed like a minor thing to him. The waitress was nice and apologized; she said she had put in the correct order. I don’t understand how such a thing could happen. When we were paying the bill; they acted as if they were doing a great service by removing the charge for the chicken crepe from the bill! We weren’t paying for that in the first place! Neither of us eat meat or ordered it! Something else I noticed; the menu is very misleading. On the regular menu, the “Veggie Crepe” has dairy, but the same named “Veggie Crepe” is on the vegan menu with vegan cheese. So you could order the veggie and get dairy or vegan cheese without knowing, if you don’t look at the regular menu. Also, they have the gluten-free and vegan items grouped in a separate menu together, which can be confusing, it almost suggests that the items are both gluten free and vegan. These should be two separate sections. I asked for the manager, who was the same person that greeted us, Jesus. I told him everything about the menu as mentioned above. The restaurant was absolutely negligent and didn’t seem to sincerely care that the messed up big time!

This was a horrible experience. I never do Google reviews but I figured I would do one for this restaurant. Went in for a birthday. First started off stating that they do not crepes but later on saw that they were serving crepes to other customers. Then a guest of our table ordered a gluten free pasta. Took them 45 mins to get back to us to state that they could not make the pasta (right after every one at the table had gotten their food). They then told us that the makeup food for the gluten free pasta would be free. Food was ok, nothing special. At the end with the check, they did not include gratuity on their receipts for a party of 10 (giving us an incorrect price for our guest). In addition to this we were going to be charged for the gluten free pasta we never got and the makeup meal that we were told was on the house. Manager was rude. If you have a large party, this restaurant is not equipped for it. Go somewhere else.
