Diamond in the Rough

by lydia3597

We have visited Crumpets on many occasions and always found the quality of the dishes to be above our expectations. Remember to ask for the fresh seafood of the day or any specials as we've found that they've recently come up with some new dishes which are worth trying!

The staff is attentive and professional and takes special measures to celebrate special occasions as well as to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Crumpets has a sauce that is non-fat and sugar free which goes well with chicken and beef dishes - my wife is diabetic.

Although, Crumpets is well know for it's incredible desserts, they have recently added a sugar free creme brulee' with raspberries and an AMAZING sugar free Carrot Cake. My wife had the Carrot Cake and insisted it was the best she'd ever had.

If you've never been there, my suggestions are to make your way over to Harry Wurzbach Road, enjoy the atmosphere and try the Beef Wellington - few can get it right - but, Crumpets has perfected this dish!

Thank you, Mr. Maedar for still providing a unique dining experience that leaves one looking forward to the next visit.

Kudos to you and your staff.

• Pros: Consistent quality of food, Ambience, Professional Staff
• Cons: Tough to tell when the restaurant is open due to parking lot

Hidden Treasure

by willyt

My wife and I ate at Crumpets last week and the experience was top notch. My wife had the duck in a port wine sauce and I had a ribeye steak with a lobster tail. The food was cooked perfectly and the service was excellent. Everyone should try this hidden treasure!

• Pros: Unrushed dinning experience
• Cons: None to mention

Valentine's Day Disaster

by machon02

My boyfriend was really excited about this place. He's heard nothing but great things about it. He decided to make us reservations for inside incase the weather got too cold. We pulled up and the scenery was like a little hide out in the middle of the city. We were really excited. As soon as we checked in, he got a feeling that it was not going to go well. The owner was checking us in and told him we were sitting outside. Then after ten minutes he finally got us on the list for inside. This was the first sign of no one in that place being on the same page. We finally got sat at 830 when out reservations were for 8. But we were still excited. The only speedy thing about our service was the water glasses. Our order wasn't even taken for another thirty minutes. Ten minutes after that, we finally got the bread, which was the only tasty part of the meal. My boyfriend had no water in his glass for over thirty minutes before he had to flag someone down like he was marshalling in an aircraft. Our appetizers finally made it but tasted like they were made at the beginning of the night. my soup never made it to me and when our food finally got there was after 10pm and mind you we were sat at 830. At the first bite my boyfriend took of his luke warm over cookd chicken breast, he just had to talk to the owner. He then acted like we were in wrong! Then our waitress had the nerve to tell us to come back when it wasn't a busy night. I'm pretty sure my lobster sat under a lamp for awhile. We didn't take a second bite. All of our dirty dishes and glasses sat at the end of the table the entire night. Our waitress had four tables and not once looked at us. If the service was better, we wouldn't have minded the wait. The patio looked romantic and the guitar player was the only thing that saved the night. We ended up going to Zio's where the food and service was 1000Xs better.

• Pros: Ambience on the patio
• Cons: everything else
