First to Review
This new place, aka "Babbo Grande," is now open in the building where the old Crepes de Paris was. But this is a whole new restaurant... a new owner, new menu, new staff, and larger dining room.
Staff is very friendly! The food is reasonably priced, and so far, we haven't had to wait for a table.
The crepes are outstanding, the fritatas are great, and we enjoyed the BLT on a bagel. Favorite crepes include the Du Soleil, the Croque Monsieur, and the Benedict.
Consider getting the lemon-drop crepe as dessert, it's outstanding. Or just about any of the dessert crepes with fresh fruit.
Now they're serving dinner on a limited basis. Try the chicken pesto crepe, it's my favorite.
Their brand-new patio deck is really nice... comfortable and great for groups.
I hear they may be serving pizza soon.
Overall a great place!

I ordered the buffalo chicken and was not disappointed. Loved the texture and taste of the wheat bread.
The cookie wasn't that great.

Dim sum donuts were disappointing. I don't recommend them.

Neat atmosphere, great menu.
Fun to go with a group of friends, because you can sample a bunch of different dishes.
Sunday brunch was surprisingly good, and great drink specials.
Highlights: Kobe burger, Eggs Benedict.
Dining in the cabanas can make eating slightly awkward, especially if you have more than 5 adults.
Be sure to get a reservation at least a few days in advance. The place seems to be constantly booked.
They've annoyed us twice. Once we showed-up for Sunday brunch but the place was completely closed. No signs on the door, no message on the phone number. The other time we left messages twice for reservations but never got a callback. When we finally got someone on the phone, it was hard to hear them and they seemed to have no record of our message.

We had the "Stubbs" Pig Pie (slow roasted BBQ pork, smoked gouda, red onion, cilantro) on wheat crust, it was yummy. Neat atmosphere, nothing fancy.
