The Scene
Two adjoining dining areas are pleasant, but the room that often hosts private parties can be noisy. The decor is low-key. The patio boasts a more romantic atmosphere, with live oaks and a rippling brook where live music serenades patrons Friday and Saturday evenings. The quaint bakery with a separate entrance and menu features French pastries, mousse tarts and cheesecakes.
The Food
The appetizer plate, which includes pâté, Brie, delectable salami, seafood salad, hearts of palm and marinated mushrooms, is filling for two. Entrees come with a nice house salad of mixed greens, which go well with the tarragon vinaigrette dressing, and several vegetables, including tender asparagus spears. The red veal medallions are a bit stringy and the champagne cream sauce is overcooked. But charbroiled steaks are tasty, especially the tender 12-ounce bison. The dessert to die for is Crumpets Delight--caramelized custard-sponge cake and strawberries topped with whipped cream.

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!

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.

The dessert to die for is Crumpets Delight--caramelized custard-sponge cake and strawberries topped with whipped cream. It was awesome. The lunch special included dessert which was a major surprise for me. Everything was great, the food, service, and the atmosphere. I will be back and recommend this place to many people.
