SeattleWeekly.com: “Changing the lineup of crepes every day, Ross doesn’t go wild with the fillings—a crepe with soy-ginger chicken is as exotic as she gets—but she puts an amazing amount of care into them.”

SeattleTimes.com: “The bistro features an extensive, rotating menu of crepes, both savory and sweet.”

  • I actually like the crepes they serve at the market so much better than restaurant. The service at the restaurant was only okay and the food was okay. The flavors were bland. When I went to the restaurant, I was hoping to have the delicious crepes like those served at the market and they were nothing close!

    my wife and I ate at Anita’s tonight-the crepes were bland..had very little filling and were very overpriced. We had 2 dinner crepes (sausage and jambon gruyere) and a beer and a wine and the bill was 40 bucks. Outrageous for the quality and quantity of the food. I sent my first crepe back due to lack of flavor-my second one was no better. The chef came over and was concerned so we went to great lengths to explain to her our issues with her crepes…oh well-her only answer was to consider adding arugla to them…they needed flavor…not salad greens. We have eaten crepes in many places in France, none as bad as these…. We will not return and have warned others already to avoid the place. Two friends whom we saw later on also confirmed their experience was similar-I want Anita’s to be good-but right now they are far from it and waaaay overpriced. Oh well-my wife suggested that that corner of Freelard had a restaurant curse on it-It’s right next door to the late Bright Street coffee turned BBQ place which now has a new name and owners…and is deserted whenever we drive by….
  • Anita's is fantastic! I had a delightful french toast and the husband had a crepe. A fabulous gourmet breakfast for a fair price. We'll be back.

    I wanted so much to like it! The crepes were ok (a bit thick and could have had more filling) but for the price we expected a LOT more.

    We went there last night for a birthday dinner and were pleased with the food and service. We ordered drinks and that added to the price, but we could have had a pretty reasonable bill without them. The place is bright and the staff was great.
    We enjoyed our dinner.

    My friends and I ate at Anita's this morning for breakfast. While the food was generally good, the customer service was atrocious. When a table for three opened up, instead of seating us they sat a couple that had arrived after us. However the staff soon realized their mistake and asked the other couple to get up, seating us in their place. Once we had ordered they took forever to serve us our food, in fact two other groups that had arrived after us received their food long before we did. Then to make matters worse we wanted to split the bill between two cards, a simple thing to do. When we asked our server to split the bill the way we wanted she said "I don't have time, I'm too busy, can I just split it in half?" By then the restaurant was much less crowded then when we had arrived, and really how difficult is it to split the check in half versus by two different amounts? I've processed many credit cards in my day, and believe me this takes about the same amount of time and brain power. I will definetly not be returning here, and I will warn all of my friends about the awful customer service.

    we had a very tasty meal at anita's a few weeks ago. the staff were friendly and efficient. our only complaint was the price. pretty spendy for crepes. adding a side salad with the crepe would be a welcomed addition.

    2 crepes + 1 coffee + 1 green tea + tip = $30.00 - OUCH!!

    Anita's changed the menu and the food was GREAT! They had half-off wine on Monday and Tuesdays. The price was really reasonable given that we had an appetizer, crepe, bottle of wine & dessert. Would definitely return. Great place to relax and have a nice dinner.

    So how much was your bill? What changed about the acutal crepes? Im fine with half off wine-but I go to a crepe place to have an awesome crepe-not a bottle of wine...just curious Thanks, Chris
