To Our Guests:The amount of guests that you make a reservation for is what you will have available. Example: If you make a reservation for 4 guests and put in the notes that you need a table for 8 guests- you will not have a table for 8 guests but only for 4 guests that you made the reservation for.Seats at the bar itself are NOT able to be reserved- they are very limited and are first come first serve. If you book the bar tables on Opentable- the reservation will be for the tables in the lounge that are located behind the bar.Seats on the patio are also NOT able to be reserved. If a reservation is made and in the notes you have requested outside or patio this does not guarantee you an outside table.We look forward to seeing you soon.

good food and good service and good ambiance. Did not like that Les Crepes added the tip in the bill. Prefer that a restaurant does not include the tip and if they do, it would be good if the wait person mentions it. I paid the included tip but deleted the tip I was going to add, which was more than what was included.
