Every neighborhood has its favorite haunts, local bars and secret eateries. Anita’s Crepes may have just hit all three in a single visit. We arrived early on a Friday evening without a reservation not realizing how busy they would be. The host (who also happened to be our server) was apologetic that there weren’t any available tables but was quick to locate seats at the “bar” for us. Anita’s menu changes periodically based on seasonal availability of the ingredients, so each visit has the potential to bring new creations to your palate. We started the evening with two amazing drinks: a hand-squeezed lemonade that was just the right balance of sweet and tart and a banana soda, which is comprised of banana and cream muddled in a tall glass and topped with a spritz of soda water. We followed that up with a smoked salmon and spinach crepe that came with a homemade tzatziki sauce on the side. To follow up the savory crepe we tried two of the desert crepes: The tried and true Banana/Nutella and one that combined two of our favorite things, the Crème Brulee . Although the Banana/Nutella delivered as promised with a nice balance between the subtle sweetness of the fruit and the stronger chocolate hazelnut, the Crème Brulee was the stand out. The warm, soft crepe was the ideal backdrop for the slightly salty, crunchy caramel and rich custard. The food and atmosphere make Anita’s worth revisiting….Perhaps with a reservation next time. http://www.anitascrepes.com/
