The food itself was typical diner. They have a lot of options and something for everyone. The restaurant itself is very cute and can fit around 15-25 people. The interior is more modern and a cute brunch place. Service was on the slower side. The table that came after us got their food before us. read more

This place was a just okay. I say that due to the fact that I recently came here with my daughter and I was more hopeful for just the drinks, very descriptive hot chocolates and coffees, but they were not up to par with their menu descriptions. The coffee I ordered was the caramel coffee drink; it tasted very sweet, very light and far from buttery caramel. Next, my daughter ordered a Nutella hot chocolate and she said the marshmallows were way too sweet, plus the addition of a chocolate syrup, and minimal Nutella in her cup. We both thought the coffee and hot chocolate could have been a lot better. The prices were closer to $7 per drink. Now for the food items, which scored better. I had a breakfast sandwich and my daughter had scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, and toast. My breakfast sandwich was fresh, the cheese was good and the size was great. It was served with a side salad. Their ambiance is nice, but there was an odd smell upon entering. I also wanted to not that they should have some sort of background music and even a light snack for the table, something that is welcoming and warming for a new customer. I would continue to explore other businesses. read more

It just isn't as good as the old restaurant was. I got a truffled egg skillet, and it was too hard and rubbery by the time it got to me. And the presentation was not as nice as I would have hoped. read more

Cute BLD & crepe spot. BYOB. We stumbled upon this cute place after not being able to get a table at any of the local eateries with bars. All day BLD. Many people were getting crepes which looked yum! I got the short rib grilled cheese which came with a small salad and cup of tomato cheddar soup. I also ordered fries and so glad I did, as they were perfec! I love a REAL hand-cut fry! My husband got a cheeseburger with the addition of mushrooms and onions. It was cooked properly, and he said it was good. Came with fries. I think he was disappointed not to grab a beer, and I get it, but it was yummy, quick, and comfortable! read more

I will first say this place is great for large groups and you can make your own fun for sure! The music is great and so is the atmosphere. That being said, I expected much more for the cost. We paid a $20 cover and expected to have a $40 balance to pay at the restaurant. This $60 paid for our food only. The food is just ok, nothing special, this is definitely more of a place you go for the atmosphere. The place is Byob and you get one bottle of champagne for the whole time you are there. We got the check and realized one carafe of orange juice was $22!! They also automatically add gratuity which is fine but it's not listed anywhere and it was over 20%. I would recommend for larger groups that want to dance and enjoy a sunday as there's nothing like it in the area. read more

One of the worst experiences of my dining life. We came about 2 in the afternoon and were the only customers there for a while. The server looked bored and annoyed. She sat us outside at our request, where the guys hanging in front of the barbershop started blasting music out of their car. We moved inside. The entire time we were inside the restaurant, the server was talking on her speaker phone. Loudly. The whole time. Eventually, she turned down the person she was talking to or took her off speaker, but continued to talk and talk herself. I was so stunned that I didn't believe what she was doing at first. What does this young woman think is her job? The food is ok, but the service was horrible. Wow. read more

Came here for a valentines brunch. The place is as decorated so cute & I loved the vibe. The service was attentive. We started with some fresh squeezed Orange juice which we love finding. Also got a hot cocoa, which is super chocolatey and delicious, but I wouldn't recommend starting it before your breakfast because it's filling! We also got mimosas, it's byob. We had some crepes which were rich and filled with Nutella and strawberries. Very good. We also got the waffle hash brown with locks and eggs. The waffle hash brown is very different but I can't say it was my favorite. It was creative but I wouldn't get it again. My husband got the big boy breakfast crepe which was a great choice and that's what I would choose for next time. All in all it was a great experience with friends, if your in the red bank area for breakfast I recommend trying it. read more

Crepes were delicious. I ordered the mixed berries crepes. My friend ordered the Dulce de leche. We both enjoyed them very much. I'm Restaurant had a good vibe. The service was quick and efficient. Visited during lunch and we were in and out in an hour. I've already recommended this restaurant to friends in the area for a great place to checkout for a quick bite or a chatty bite. read more

Terrible service combative staff. Had an issue where I question auto gratuity for 4 person table and hostess was combative. It was there regular host who has been there for a long time. She ended up comping my entire meal as an angry protest when I only questioned gratuity. I questioned auto gratuity because it took 1:15 to get our meal and no one visited the table once after order was taken. A drink order at our table was NEVER taken. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile but it's always SO busy! My husband and I came last night, 6:15pm on a Saturday and nobody was there! I ordered the iced Almond Joy Latte which was super good. A little disappointed they charged $0.25 for the ice but whatever, it was listed and my fault if it was an issue. We shared this thick Peter Luger style bacon. It was absolutely delicious. I could have just ate that! Super thick slices of bacon, very moist and $9 is not a bad price for that! My husband ordered the Bacon Grilled Cheese for his main dish (yes I know... more bacon!) which he loved. I actually don't remember what mine was called but it was a Grilled Cheese with raspberry jelly, goat cheese and mushrooms. It was super different but tasted great! It came with a side salad which was very fresh! I love the décor in this place. The service was friendly and fast. The portion sizes were just right and I still had some to bring home. I will be back and would recommend! read more

Great little place. Staff really care and that came through in service, crepe and beverages. We had the best coffee drinks ever. Only recommendation would be to lower the music and maybe play more interesting selections. I felt like i was in a teenage mall clothing store and not a quaint french bistro. read more

If you are in Red Bank and looking for a treat, hot Whipped....you will not be disappointed. Small location, figure 8 tables.... Parking can be found on the street. Service is great. Options are limitless We loved the crepe we had.....Nutella, peanut butter, bananas and walnut goodness. There are so many choices, I cannot wait to try it again. Ice cream is available Savory crepes are available...Whipped would be an excellent choice for brunch. From what I understand Whipped will be moving to a larger location. Why 4 stars with the rave reviews? 2 reasons, one the tables are on top of each other....second....crepe cakes are only available on special order. Crepe cake slices for individual sale would be a huge hit. I will undoubtedly return read more

This was a really solid brunch option here in Red Bank. The gravy for the chicken and waffles was amazing, the crêpe we had was very good, and the eggs Benedict was superb! They have a good set up going for Covid response with outdoor seating, tents, distance, staffing masks, etc. They also have a restroom for customers! The only negative was that one of their servers, a younger male, had very little to no personality or initiation and we had to ask to order and ask for our check. After we ordered, most of our meal was served by a woman who was fantastic, but it was hit or miss service all around. read more

Great breakfast place downtown Redbank. Service was good and our food came out fast. The food was amazing with good portions

The food was good Service is slow and if you're older than 35 they will try to hide you in the back. We suffered that sort of discrimination and observed at least another couple requesting an empty table at the front and that were denied and sat on a more "recluse" location. read more

Excellent spot for brunch! BYOB, and they offer mixers for your brunch cocktails of choice. I had the avocado toast, which was excellent. My friend had the French toast which was also very good. Service of bringing the food out was VERY quick, but after we had a hard time getting our waitresses attention. Definitely will be back! read more

I drove by this place one time and thought to myself '' this place looks nice, I would like to try it'' also saw it had almost 5 stars, and me being so big on reviews I was like this place must be good. So, I went with my daughter and niece. I loved how cute the restaurant is inside, it has a lot of cute details, and the food when served was had a beautiful presentation. Now, on to the food. Again, beautiful presentation but thats it. the iced chai tea I had was great but the food had no flavor. The parfait crepe was disgusting and soggy and there were flies by our food. I regret ordering as much as I did, because a lot of the food got wasted, and I don't like wasting food, I am a food lover. To top it of, I got the worse stomach cramp after eating here, and I got a parking ticket in that area. So you can say I had an amazing day. read more

Amazing staff, amazing atmosphere, amazing Menu. The Sunday Brunch is a must do... make sure you book it online to reserve you brunch time, I made the mistake of trying to walk in the first time and it was booked. Every time after was a blast and it's BYOB read more

We came here on a whim for brunch on our last day of vacay. I am so glad I did! The food is the type of food that people instagram (I DID IT, OKAY, DON'T JUDGE ME). We both got the avocado toast and then we ordered way too many sides. The prices were fairly reasonable and we left very full. Also, the decor is adorable. Our server was super cool as well. Wish I remembered her name, but she was fun :) Thanks guys for a last day of vacation breakfast. read more

Came here twice in the past few weeks already. My husband and I visited the area first and ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice, a chicken crepe with fries, and a panini with truffle fries. Just came back today again with a friend. Ordered the Almond Joy iced coffee and two paninis with fries. Everything tastes great and portions are a good size. Service has been great both times as well. read more

Gem of a find! We love French Bistro's and this establishment certainly lives up to our expectations. We started off with a cafe latte for my wife and I ordered a cafe mocha. Definitely a high quality espresso is being used. Our breakfast was absolutely cooked to perfection. Typically many restaurants over or under cook the eggs. This simply was not the case at this place. My wife ordered a open face galette crepe. I ordered the potato pancakes with bacon and cheddar cheese with a side of spicy bison sausage. Note that the potato pancakes are actual pancakes so it was a bit of a surprise for me when I expected the normal potato pancakes, but they are delicious. Our server was very pleasant and attentive which is quite a nice sit since this seems to be an area that is declining in the restaurant business. One other thing to take note of is that the restrooms are very clean. For all these reasons, we will be returning to patronize this establishment. I highly suggest that you visit this establishment if you get the chance. read more

I went here for brunch with some friends a few weeks ago. I've been before and wasn't impressed; however, this time the food was excellent!

I had the American Breakfast and the thick cut Irish/slab bacon, done just right so it curls, was delicious. The sunny-up eggs were a bit cold, but the thick, hand-cut whole wheat bread that I slathered in seeded red raspberry jam was delicious. The home fried potatoes, diced small, tasted of rosemary sprigs, and the portion was perfect. I handed back a very clean plate! They did not rush us out so we could talk in our window seat with sun streaming in between the drapes, sipping our perfect fresh- brewed ice-teas. Waitress was wonderful as well. read more

We stopped here for a bite before the b-day dinner. It was almost a dinner killer as I have never seen crepes so big and filled with so much deliciousness. The Cuban crepe was just that and it was savory and amazing. I would definitely order this one again. The Smores crepe was also good, but it seemed a bit too much something. Not sure if all the whipped cream was the issue, but it was a little lacking on the graham cracker crunchiness. Even though we thought the Cuban was much better than the Smores I still give this place a 4 star for the huge warm crepes. The décor is nice and there is outside seating which is probably good for the next few weeks. We would definitely try this place again when we get back here. This place does have limited seating at tables and a few bar stools at the front window. Street parking only. There is a parking garage about a block away for the cost of $10.00 for the day. read more

This was a place we have always wanted to visit. We finally went and we got a dessert crepe with bananas and Nutella - it was very good but overall pretty small compared to other crepes I have gotten out. Paid $2.00 extra for ice cream. If you look at the photo attached, you can see that it was the smallest Ice cream scoop in existence which was practically already melted by the time it got to us. Would have 100% expected more ice cream when I'm paying 2$ extra. Overall the service was very good, food was pretty tasty but extremely overpriced for what we got. read more

I've only stopped by here for a quick bite and its pretty neat. They have savory and sweet options. I got the veggie crepe with goat cheese and other veggies. It wasn't bad but I expected a little better. I probably would've been happy with a sweet crepe, which are what you should order here. You'll probably have to park kinda far away as it's on a pretty busy street. The prices are typically under $10. read more

This was poor customer service on your part. There will be no second chances. read more
