"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."
