"When we walked in, a sign instructed us to wait to be seated, which puzzled me since there was no one at the front desk. We eventually made our way to the innkeeper at the back, who told us to seat ourselves in the common room. Taking their advice, we sat down but noticed two other patrons who also appeared to be food-less. At that moment, I couldn’t help but wonder if we’d missed some kind of announcement about the establishment closing early or if the place had been raided by goblins. No one likes goblins, by the way. Sorry to any goblins reading this—just know that your frequent raids on chickens and crops don’t exactly win you any favors with the townsfolk. Feeling adventurous, I decided to check out the tavern next to the common room since I could see a bartender working and four patrons enjoying some drinks. I was filled with hope! While they didn't serve food, I was eager to ask for directions to the person presumably hiding away food behind a secret door, or perhaps the owner of a hidden bag of holding. At this point, I was open to any food storage mystery. As I sat there, I listened to the bartender chat with her customers. It was heartwarming to see how well they were treated, to the point where the bartender even offered to buy drinks if the night took a turn for the worse. However, I started feeling overlooked and a little ignored. After a while, I decided to speak up just to make sure I was still physically present and hadn’t accidentally shifted into some astral plane, as some people can’t seem to detect those unexpected journeys. When I finally spoke up, the bartender hurried out of the tavern to chat with the innkeeper. It became abundantly clear that we had either forgotten the secret code or the spell required to summon food. Defeated, we decided it was best to leave and seek food elsewhere—specifically, we opted for Blaze, where we could indulge in some delicious, cheesy bread rounds.

"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."
