Excellent Evening - Make Reservations
DESCRIPTION: Two of us celebrated Valentine's Day at Crepe Daniel restaurant recently. We both had the French onion soup, which is among the best around, baked with cheese over a crouton. We shared the Daniel's salad (like a cobb salad) with dressing on the side. For an entree I had scallop/shrimp crepe and my guest had avocado and bacon. Both were served hot and presented well. I didn't really enjoy the seafood as much as I had hoped, and probably wouldn't repeat. The avocado/bacon was fine, and we took the remainder home. By this time we were in trouble for having enough room for dessert, so we chose to share a crepe suzette, which was peerless. We had an isolated table in a lattice arbor, and our waiter was excellent. Except for some small children running around exploring, it was a good an evening as could be. Many people were waiting at the entrance as we left, so the reservations were a good idea.

Don't bother
DESCRIPTION: What looked like it may have been a successful little crepe house has since turned into a frustrating experience. Service was dismal at best. While what appeared to be the owner, standing at the cash register staring at nothing, patrons could not get coffee or water refills, the wait for dinner in an uncrowded dining room was far too long. When it was finally served the salmon crepe or any other crepes mentioned, including the dessert crepe, had no sauce to help with the over dry faire. The salad included in the dinner was wilted and had minimal garnishments. At best the entire experience could be summed up in one word "STINGY" and "savory" had nothing to do with it!

Best Soup in Town, Served at a Leisurely Pace
DESCRIPTION: I have been eating at Crepe Danielle for the past 17 years. Even after 5 trips to Paris, their French Onion Soup is the best that I have ever tasted! Among my favorites are the Salad Danielle (entree sized salad), The Crepe Normandy (shrimp and scallops in a creme sauce), the crepe Saratoga (bacon, avocado and cheese) and the Mandarin Shrimp Crepe (shrimp and snowpeas - a bit dry, but light). If you save room for dessert, they have a chocolate crepe with chocolate sauce, creme anglaise, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whip cream. I don't remember what it is called and it is not on the regular menu, but if you ask, they will make it for you. This is a great dessert to share! One warning: do not come here for a quick meal! I have seen the wait staff come and go over the years and the service has never been quick. Call ahead and reserve a table sectioned off by lattice and you can spend a quiet, romantic, leisurely dinner for not a lot of money.

A Unique Food & Wine Experience but OVERPRICED
DESCRIPTION: The food is true art in terms of presentation. Food choices were difficult. There are no simple choices. Having a vegetarian course was a good alternative. I found the service to be outstanding. Getting a reservation is difficult. I do not know if I want to revisit this establishment after having dined here on two different occasions.

ALL YOU CAN EAT
DESCRIPTION: My favorite place to go for Chinese is Canton. Their food is just to die for. One of my personal favorites is there low mien with a ton of soy sauce. When my family goes in the restaurant, the staff immediately start making more candied fruit. YUM!

You must try this place
DESCRIPTION: This is the cleanest hole-in-the-wall cafe I've ever been to. The food is out of this world (I recommend the breakfast tacos, or any of the omelettes) This is a small place but you can tell it has a great family atmosphere. My wife and I actually look forward to visiting relatives in San Clemente just so we can eat at Corky's.

Netty's is The Hidden Jewel of L.A. Dining
DESCRIPTION: Everything on the menu is delicious and unique. The overall menu draws upon Creole and Latin Cuisine. My personal favorites are the Drunken Shrimp in Spicy Beer Butter, Warm Seafood Salad, Blackened Flank Steak marinated in Lemon Pepper Butter, and the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich with fresh basil and feta cheese.

Small Town Feel, Big City Taste
DESCRIPTION: It's not about the ambiance, it's about the food. The taste of food makes you forget about the plastic chairs you're sitting in. The patio has a small-town feel, but the California cuisine menu suits the area just fine.
