Located in the Marina district, we were called in by the large crepe selection and cheap beer specials. The atmosphere feels like a classic diner, with a large open room with lots of small table islands and everything wooden. It has a lively feel and also offers outdoor seating. We enjoyed choosing from the simple selection of a few house wines and beers. The atmosphere, drinks, and feel was all quite enjoyable, the only thing that fell a little short was the crepe itself. We ordered a salmon, cream cheese and sun-dried tomato crepe, and had high expectations as we love crepes. It was a little disappointing in flavor, being weighed down with a lot of mozzarella, with the salmon and tomato not coming out very strongly. Overall an enjoyable experience, and - as it is hard to mess up crepes - I would recommend ordering stronger flavored ingredients.

We made a late night stop at a crepe place to supplement the random snacking we'd been doing throughout the evening. I instantly gravitated towards the "marine" crepe, which contained a few ingredients which to me go together magically: salmon, cream cheese and capers. Add to that stringy mozzarella and a topping of sundried tomato pesto, and it sounds like this could be amazing. Unfortunately, it fell short in both flavor and texture, the salmon was in dry chunks and the cream cheese was lost in a greasy mess in the filling. Sadly enough, the best part of the dish were the crunchy french fries, which seemed to come from a store-bought frozen bag. The happy hour price for drinks was not bad, $4 per glass of wine, but I'm not sure that alone warrants going back to this place.
