"We had a reservation for 4. We were seated fairly quickly but were not able to actually sit in our assigned booth the benches were too close to the table and not able to be moved. There are 3 table booths along that area. It appeared that the benches had been moved at one point, giving a large amount of space to the 1st booth, less to the 2nd, and no ability to sit at the 3rd the one we were assigned to. I am not a large person and I could not fit. So, we were re seated to a table. We spent perhaps 5 minutes at the table before we were approached by the manager who had seated us in the initial location asking why we moved. His immediate approach and assumption was that we just moved ourselves. We had to move yet again because a reservation for a larger group was made and the space was needed. That group took priority over our reservation and reseating. Obviously we did not feel very welcome, even with a reservation. The service was fine but the food especially the fries were served luke warm, making them inedible. No staff came back around to check on us. We were not asked about drink refills. Or if we wanted dessert. It felt like we were an inconvenience. I know it was a Friday evening. They were busy, but not every table or booth was occupied, so service shouldn 't have been anything out of the ordinary. This is not the typical service I 've received at this location. Perhaps it was because of the full moon??"

"We had attended the cape Chorale concert (as did many others) and wanted to extend the fun by having dinner at the Belfry. many of us had never been here and I grateful that someone in the group knew to recommend it. The location is easy to find and there is ample on the street parking as well as a large parking area behind the building. Those who are physically challenged can use the ramp to the side door entry. The front door entry way is small, but don't let that both you because when you turn the corner you will be in a very large dining area. The tables near the fire looked inviting but our friend had reserved a small dining room for us. Our server was personable and professional and let us linger over menu selections. I think he might have been the only person on for the evening but that was okay as we did not want to be rushed. They offer wine by the glass as well as by the bottle and they have a nice list of cocktails. Just about everyone had some sort of wine except me as I am usually the DD. The appetizer list was obviously appealing as everyone ordered one. We ordered the faux gras and it was superb. Others ordered the shrimp and avocado which would have been my second choice. The dinner menu is nice selection of various seafood, meat and poultry. I went with the duck as I don't cook this at home so I like to get iy whenever i can. My wife ordered the steak. Others ordered the cod, the lamb or the beef dish. The duck was two large legs and prepared crispy although the meat was very tender and moist. My wife's steak was superb. One of the tastiest I have had on the Cape. I was tempted to ask who they get their beef from but it slipped my mind. The cod looked fabulous as did the lamb. No real dinner envy tonight. None of us selected a dessert but we still lingered to finish up conversations etc. This will definitely be on the list of places for special dinners for special occasions. We enjoyed the ride home to South Yarmouth as many of the giants were lit up for the evening."

"While the hardcover has some nice dishes, it lacks the basic consistency that would make it a solid 4 star restaurant. Firstly, service was good- our waiter was nice and prompt, and the staff seemed friendly. The location itself inside the restaurant is a bit cramped but cozy. Its definitely loud inside at busy times. The salad bar and bread in my opinion are underwhelming for a restaurant of this price range. While the self serve style is in theory a nice idea, it reminded me a lot of the corner of my college dining hall (nothing against salad bars, I just think they could do something more with it). I wish the bread was warmer or toasted or something. The beef Wellington was very good. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, flavorful and perfectly sized. For people specifically looking for a wellington I would recommend this place. The teriyaki steak is also good. Sadly, while the baked chicken was good, the linguini served it had too much pasta and too little sauce. This made it a chore to eat (though the asparagus and mushroom paired well). The salmon was sort of bland-i’d like to say good meat will stand on its own but it appeared to be “seasoned with air”. Not tragic but not inspiring. The baked haddock was nice. I understand the value of simplicity but the boiled vegetables and baked potatoes weren’t really doing it for me at this price of restaurant. I understand this isnt quite fine dining, but I would expect some more consistency and refinement for this type of restaurant. I was happy about the beef wellington though!"

"Here 's something cool: Crepevine SF responds to Google reviews. That 's super rare and says a lot about a place and the pride they take in itSo I guess the pressure 's on. Well... well...Crepevine sucked!Lol…sorry I 'm just messin ' with ya, Crepevine. ? Feel free to take me down a notch.No really, Crepevine is a fun, homey place to get savory crepes, something you probably won 't eat anywhere else… at least to the extent of the wide selection offered here.I 've eaten at the one in San Rafael so I wanted to see how the Sunset branch compared and perhaps I could start a feud between these two branches.It 's got the same laid-back funky vibe and good service. The colorful menu on the wall is an overwhelming visual assault, but in a good way. You 'll just have to pick something and go with it. You 'll be happy. These are all really good crepes. I need to try one of the dessert crepes sometime.A friendly employee actually greeted us at the door, sat us at a table, and gave us a laminated non-psychedelic version of the wall menu. It 's the same menu, but less fun.So it 's sort of a hybrid counter service restaurant, you still need to order at the counter, but someone will bring your meal to your table.This time I ordered the San Francisco crepe with smoked salmon. It was very tasty and quite filling. The portions are large and I couldn 't finish it all. I recommend home potatoes instead of fries. I haven 't tried the fries, but those home potatoes are just so good! Just like I imagine home potatoes would taste if I had home potatoes at home.Crepevine is a nice place to grab a bite in the Inner Sunset. It 's a Bay Area chain that doesn 't feel like a chain, fitting comfortably into this bustling neighborhood. Good food and friendly service.So which is better, SF or Marin? I 'm giving a slight edge to the SF location just because Irving St. is cooler than 4th St. in San Rafael. I 'll be back."
