Problem: Loved it! Just above my favorite sandwich place. My friend and I shared hot wings (happy hour) and IVAN burger with fries. So delicious! Great beers on draft too. Definitely coming back for more, looking forward to coming back on a Wednesday for their burger and a beer for $10 special.

Problem: After spotting Crispy Crepe driving down South Blvd where all the new condos/apartments are, we decided to give it a shot this past Sunday morning. Being Sunday morning, we were afraid there would be a long wait, but we gave it a shot anyway. Fortunately, although the restaurant was busy, there was a table for us! Since it was a beautiful day, it would have been nice to have sat at one of their covered tables on the sidewalk, but they were already all taken (another time then!). For being where it is, the restaurant is a decent size, and the interior with the big glass windows and modest decor give it a very cheerful, welcoming, clean feel. I've never been that crazy about the open kitchen concept, but it wasn't bothersome for breakfast. I guess I'm just one of those people who'd rather see and feel the ambiance of a dining room (especially when I'm dining OUT) than try to eat a meal in the throes of the kitchen where the chefs and servers are buzzing about. Crispy Crepe has a lot of lunch items but not as many breakfast choices as I was hoping, especially with the crepes. There's only a couple of basic egg options. So, with the promise of our table sharing one of the many, many dessert crepe choices (dessert for breakfast? yikes!), I went with the Egg 'n' Turkey Bacon Waffle Platter (with au gratin potatoes) so I could taste of variety of items during my first visit. Everything was delicious. The potatoes were really creamy and cheesy (not greasy). I hoped they were fresh instead of from a package, but I couldn't be too sure. The waffle was definitely a highlight. It's called a Liege Waffle, which I've never had before. It was very dense, but full of a lot of flavor that regular waffles don't have. It stayed very crispy, too, even with the real maple syrup on it. At the end of the meal, we all split a Banofie Crepe, which was a giant crepe filled with bananas and a butterscotch custard. It tasted similar to Bananas Foster. The crepe itself was light and delicious. Lastly, I must note the coffee. It tasted good and came in a BIG cup. I always appreciate restaurants with big coffee cups so I'm not waiting for a server to come around often to keep refilling my tiny cup/mug. I only had to have one refill this time around (but our super-friendly and efficient server came around a lot anyway). Will we be back? You betcha.

Problem: After finding this place and parking (it's tucked away in the courtyard behind the 525 N Tyron Building) I was upset to not be impressed with my sandwich...at all. I called in my order - SouthWest Turkey Panini on Foccacia with Chipotle Aioli, Pickled Onions, Guacamole, and Smoked Gouda ($8) as well as a smoothie ($3) and used the $5 for $10 Yelp coupon...what a deal! The sandwich was ready when I arrived but the smoothie was not...not a big deal, but the line was long and with only two people working on front, they seemed very rushed and stressed. For starters, the sandwich was warm but was by no means panini grilled. In addition, you can see from the picture, there was hardly any guacamole or gouda cheese, and no aioli. The only discernible tastes were the red onion, which was extremely overwhelming, the turkey, which was plentiful, and the thick, tough bread. The quinoa cous cous on the side was fine, I wasn't expecting to love it and just wanted something healthy. I did enjoy sitting on the patio in front of the fountains and felt transported out of the inner city for a few moments. This seemed to be a very convenient spot for those that work in the neighborhood. After enjoying my tacos from their food truck was excited to try this place but was extremely disappointed. What a bummer because everything on the menu looks delicious. If I lived or worked walking distance, I might try again...but in my case, unfortunately no.
