This was my second try. There won't be a third.
First time I went there on a Dishcrawl. Didn't get to choose what I had. Didn't like it so much. Figured I'd give it another try and this was it.
I ordered the Thai Crepe with Chicken, my friend ordered the Tuscan Crepe. Both came with a salad and a choice of fries, sweet potato fries or home fries.
First, my Thai Crepe shows up with shrimp instead of chicken, strike one. I didn't send it back because we were short of time and I like shrimp but still. Second, I don't know what their idea of Thai is but both my Thai Crepe and the Tuscan Crepe were swimming in what seemed to be a very oily pesto. Mine also had spinach all wilted and kinda slimy in the mix. I can't say that anything about the flavor made me think Thai. More of a problem was the oily factor. My friend commented on it as well. The pesto flavor may have worked better in a Tuscan Crepe but oily is never good.
The salad was supposed to be dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette. I could find no trace of that. It was like eating the romaine with nothing.
I can say that the sweet potato fries were okay. Not great and I usually would only eat a few of the fries anyway.
I can also say that the staff was very nice and attentive. I'm not one to send food back, especially when I'm short for time. I'm also not sure that there was anything that I could have asked them to do to make it better. It seems to me that their recipes are inherently bad. For the life of me, I cannot understand why there always seems to be people there.
Oh well, takes them out of the crowds across the street at Aquis...
Read moreCrepevine in Willow Glen has quickly become one of my favorite spots in San Jose, and for good reason! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff were attentive and made the whole experience even better.
Let’s talk about the food—wow! The Greek salad was absolutely incredible. The ingredients were so fresh and vibrant, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, perfectly seasoned olives, and creamy feta cheese all came together beautifully. The dressing tied it all together without being too heavy. Honestly, it’s hands down the best Greek salad I’ve ever had anywhere.
I also tried their Mushroom salad, and it was just as amazing in its own way. The combination of earthy, flavorful mushrooms with fresh greens and a light yet flavorful dressing was perfection. The textures and flavors were so well balanced, and it felt both hearty and healthy.
What I love about Crepevine is how they make every dish feel carefully crafted. You can tell they use quality ingredients and put a lot of love into their food. The portions are generous too, so you definitely get great value for your money.
To top it all off, the location in Willow Glen is such a charming area to walk around before or after your meal. It’s the perfect place for a casual lunch, a relaxed dinner, or even just to grab a fresh and delicious salad.
If you’re in San Jose and haven’t tried Crepevine yet, do yourself a favor and go! Whether you’re craving something light and fresh like a salad or one of their hearty crepes, you won’t be disappointed. This...
Read moreI'm revising my review because the second time I visited this location, ordered the same exact thing as the first time, however this time I had serious stomach issues without getting graphic I will not return ever again. so either they decided to put some magic secret spoil sauce or coincidentally the fish was bad. Here's why I this may be the case.
My cousin and I drove clear across town because they were open until 8:30pm according to Google and 9pm according to their website. We were parked on the street right in front of their door as we lollygaged outside looking at the menus, watching them serve customers and trying to decide what we wanted. When we called in to place our order to find that they had already closed. It was 8:08 so we stressed that the closing times were 830 & 9 online. We stressed that we were disappointed that their closing hours were incorrect in two places to which she responded you should have called before coming over here. My cousin explained we've been right outside in the car watching them and customers walk in and out if she could please take our orders and that we were planning to order for both of our families. She wouldn't take our orders but offered to give a free meal. We stressed rtthat we were placing two distaste oreders and requested two meals she reluctantly agreed.
We returned the next day, placed our order (for four meals) and here I am 15 hrs later sharing while on the pot, cramping and disgusted. Thanks but no thanks!!! Free cheap meal and now loss of my work day earnings. I'll...
