   good food and good service and good ambiance. Did not like that Les Crepes added the tip in the bill. Prefer that a restaurant does not include the tip and if they do, it would be good if the wait person mentions it. I paid the included tip but deleted the tip I was going to add, which was more than what was included.

   Excellent food and a fun place for brunch and lunch. Table service was also very good. There were two issues, however, that Les Crepes Carytown management should address and remedy. One was the restroom situation. The restaurant is quite large, and there are only two unisex restrooms in the entire place. On the day we were there, one of the restroom's door was locked because it was apparently out of service, which left only one available restroom. That restroom was not only a unkempt but, the door's lock has apparently been broken for some time as there is a small handwritten note INSIDE the door that reads, "lock does not work." There is no sign to that effect outside the restroom. I waited at my table for the restroom line to finally dissipate, but when I opened the bathroom door to enter, a woman was sitting on the toilet. We were both embarrassed by the incident, and I quickly pulled the door closed. How difficult can it be to repair the broken lock? The second issue that management should remedy is that, even though there were only two of us dining that day, they automatically added a 20% "gratuity" onto the check. Service was good, so I probably would have left that much or nearly that much anyway, but I was very surprised to see that after I gave my credit card to the waiter and he brought back the final bill for signature, it no longer displayed the additional amount as an added 20%, but simply showed the total amount due (which already included the tip of 20%), and then beneath that amount it had a line for me to enter a tip and a schedule that tells how much tip to enter for 18%, 20%, and 25%. My guess is that diners that are busy or do not look closely at their checks would think they had not already paid a "gratuity" in the original bill where it was included, so they would again add another 15-25% when the final bill was presented, thus making the tip some 35-45%. I believe this is intentional by Les Crepes Carytown, and it is deceptive and wrong.

   Great Mother's Day Brunch! Everything was very good - food, service, and the weather was wonderful for outdoor seating! My only suggestion is that Les Crepes offer a smaller portion (half size) on the crepes - so you can order one with all the protein / vegetables, and then treat yourself to one of the sweet ones! I would love a half / half combo so I could enjoy both without overeating!

   I enjoy visiting Les Crepes for solo and group dining. I typically get the GFO Salmon crepe and tried out adding crab to it as well. It wasn’t bad but I think I’ll stick to the salmon in the future. I was saddened to see one of the menu items that I’d had at previous visits no longer on the menu, but the overall visit was good.

   Food was bland and overpriced. With so many choices in the area, I doubt I'll go back.

   As soon as we walked in for our 8:30 PM reservation, we were told that we likely wouldn’t have enough time to eat before they closed and the hostess turned us away. Not sure why we were not contacted ahead of time with that information (reservation was made almost a week in advance) or why they even have reservations available that late if they’re just gonna turn us around at the door…

   The food was tasty but cold and all the crepes were a little mushy. I feel the food is over priced for what they are serving. I’ve been twice now and not sure I’d go back.

    Excellent! Waiter was attentive, timely, and friendly. Crepes were outstanding. Our Easter brunch was great sitting outside and enjoying Carytown.
