We CLOSED the Doors today !

After 10 months having my Restaurant, I have to close the doors. Thank you so much for all the people today, who came, enjoyed and gave us one of the best Compliments. I am sorry to close, but hope that all of you who likes Crepes, did experiance some of mine and enjoyed it in fullest. I will keep you posted, if I will open an other little Creperie in the future???...
For the moment, I will be selling my Crepe/and Buckwheat-Mixes on line and order by phone. People who asked me for this and bought already the Mix, I wanted to thank you so much for the idea and the possibility to get my Crepes out there.... :)

Now I am getting ready to go to San Diego and hopefully make my decission what's next...??

We are selling all the Restaurant Chairs, and Bistro Patio Sets, and Plates etc. So let me know if someone wants to purchase anything. We will be selling on the 30/31st of August at the Restaurant!

Funny Ladies!

A couple nights ago, I was on my way out the door and met three Ladies at the elevator door. They all asked me the same time, if the Restaurant would be open? It was 8:45 PM!! I told them, I was the owner and we closed at 8pm. They looked so sad and dissapointed and went to the Ladiesroom. When I got to my car to drop off the bags, I felt bad for them. So I turned around and went back upstairs and went in the Bathroom and told them: Ladies are you serious about trying my Crepes out so late in the night? They all were soo happy and didn't wanna believe me, that I would open the doors for them. They couldnt get any where in, in any of the other Restaurants, since every one had a privat party etc.?? And for over 2 hours they were looking for something to eat. When I opened the door, 3 other people came in! So I switched everything back on and made ALL of them Savory Crepes and Sweet Crepes and Salades ect. when the young boy was done, he oredered some more Crepes and was in owe, how much he liked it. He said he wants to become a food critic! The three Ladies ordered Wine and more Crepes and had a fun time, you could tell!
That was worth it, the companie alone was nice and very pleasant, after a hard day of work! I am greatful to people like that, they enjoy life and good food and are very HAPPY.
Thanks to All of YOU!

Big changes are on the way !!

I will let all of you know, when the right decisions are made. (We will never know, if they are the right ones anyway).

I wonder how long it's going to stay like this hot?? The weather and economy is killing our business!! :(

CHEESE FONDUE will no longer be served for the Hot Season!!

We closed the Fondue Room for the Summer and will not serve the hot, melted, delicious Cheese in this Heat and Humidity. We still can make the Chocolate Fondue, even on the Patio in a nice hot summer night!!

Have a nice warm Summer time and see you in the Fall/Winter again .... (cheese speaking) lol.

WE NO LONGER ACCEPT GROUPON!!

Yes, it's true, due to fraud, we no longer accept GROUPON.
It's sad that people are duplicating (copying) their Groupon!! And then they tip on the left over Bill (with Deduction made)!!!

SORRY :(

Our Breakfast Menu will stay the same!

Second page of our new Menu!

Our NEW Summer Menu !!

We are changing our Menu for the summer, more veggies and more fruits!

Our experience!! LOL

I still have to get over Mothers day! What a Day! We had Reservations made and we didn't want to take more guest than planed. BUT, since we had one bigger Party cancel that morning, we decided to get some Walk Ins!! I don't know if I should say that was a mistake, but we were sooo busy, we did have a hard time to keep up with every ones order. Sorry for that. We ended up to take Walk Ins the whole day!! Ooohhhoohh...
I have to apologize who ever had to wait longer than 40 min. We are New in that too and hoped to serve everyone on time Crepes, which are different than you are used to (IHOP, ect.)

One thing is sure, if you wanna enjoy our Crepes and have it served fresh and warm and out of this Area without the STRESS, then our Creperie is the right Place to go and enjoy. Please keep the Stress out of your Life and remember, we all live only ones and a short time on this Earth. We probably end up one Day all in one Place only and together.

The other thing is, I am very surprised how people treat other people? What gives them the right to treat them so different, what makes then different from each other???? Especially, when you have no idea where that person comes from and what she/he is?? I love the Shows on TV, where the Millionaires go in disguise and live with the people they are not so fortunate, or when the Boss works with his workers and the hidden Cameras??!! Think about this, who do we really deal with here, is it a waiter, waitress, or is it a wealthy Person from next door, or what did this person go through in life? Or or or?

What I try to say to my kids, treat everyone the same, with kindness and respect, you never know?
....
I am sure, you out there knows exactly who and what I am talking about. I am really surprised, the way you treated my staff and your surrounding neighbours, probably even your own friends!!

GROUPON Special !!!

You will find a Special going on GROUPON on May 1st, 2011 !! So don't miss it and good luck!!

Denisa

looks we need to postpone the Flowers!

It's again going to rain!!!
I wanted to do the Patio and get it ready?? No idea when I will be able to do that now with this Spring Weather. I will keep you posted, when the Deck will be READY.

Hope everyone had a nice Easter! The weather was actually nice. Thanks the Lord!

Dinner and Dessert Crepes !

We made a mistake on the Menu, the Salad/Soup is included in the Lunch and Dinner Menus !!!

Hope that gives an idea to everyone, the best thing is, you come in and try us out!!

Lunch Menu and Dinner Menu

Cheese Fondues/Raclette

Trying to put pictures up from my Menus !

Lunch/Dinner and more coming!

We wish you all a Happy, Sunny, Warm and enjoyable EASTER!!!!

Hope the Weather will permit to finish up the Patio. I will be finally putting in the Flowers and paint the Flowerpots, Fence etc. The Umbrellas are waiting to put up and then, LET'S PARTY!! lol.

We will be making more Salads and Sandwiches!! We are stopping soon with the FONDUE and taking ONLY Reservations!! There will be no more RACLETTE until Fall again! When it gets warm, nobody really wants any melted hot cheese!! The Chocolate Fondue is still available!!!!!!!

Hope Everyone has a nice Spring Season and a Happy Easter!

Closed for Dinner today the 6th of April!

Sorry for the inconvenience! But I have to get my foot/heel fixed. Finally ! After 7 months of pain.....

Thanks for your understanding,
Denisa

How lucky am I?

Would anyone believe, that an other car of ours got totalled?? Yup, now we are down to one old car, which is broken too and a stick shift! Lucky me, I can drive that....
No, but really? I feel so blue, since the Restaurant is going pretty slow for the last couple months (*with that strange weather??) and I opened it up only a while ago, so there is no Money left for new carSSSS!!! My son needs a car to come here and help out in the Restaurant, then I need a car for my job and we need a car for the Family! How is the saying? When the sh... hits the fan? Looks like that in my life right now.
Then my foot is killing me for over 7 months now and my hands are falling asleep again. It's not carpal tunnel (or what that is called?) that has nothing to do with it. That would be an easy way out, believe me.. When I count the years, how long I am in pain already? It's going for 10 years!!!!! Wow, how a body can last and endure pain, that's incredible? And than again, time goes by sooo fast and we are so busy, you don't think about it. Until you go to bed and wanna sleep, then it hits you. you wake up after sleeping 3-4 hours and then the pain begins so bad, you wake up every 30min.......................
I can not remember when I slept through A NIGHT in the last 10 years!
So how lucky am I?
I tell you how: I have three beautiful children, healthy ones (hope so), a roof over my head, a mother still living, a nice hubby, two doggies and a kitty, my Dream, which came true (RESTAURANT) hope it's not going to become a Nightmare. I achieved a lot in my life, I believe that, and most of all I have GOD. That's how lucky I am.

Our Patio is getting ready!

It's been so long, since I wrote. The cold weather and the slow weeks made me a little blue. lol.
But soon as the sun came out and it got warmer, I got the power to do something with the Patio....... Yes the furniture is there and I got today the umbrellas too. Now we need the warmth and the sunshine and we will be set, NOT Yet though: FLOWERS and GARDEN, that is still missing. I am waiting until all the frost is gone.
We are all so excited about the Spring and Summer Season, we can't wait much longer..... lol.

It's slow this month!

How much colder will it get??? It's so slow for this month of February!! At least I am getting out there to my customers and can have a nice chat with them. lol. I met this week the nicest people ever. The ones they come, do enjoy my food so much, that's why I like doing what I am doing. I wanna please everyone of my customers....

One thing I have to explain though, when the crepe is a little cold, that's because its freshly made on the Crepemaker and it goes out instantly on the plate. WE DON'T USE MICROWAVES TO HEAT UP OUR FOOD, like in a lot of Restaurants you have the Crepes made ahead, stapled up a foot high, and taken of that pile and filled and put inside the Microwave oven to heat them up!!! That's why theirs is served much hotter than mine are! I hope that explained some of the questions about my crepes. I tried to keep the plates hot, but then you have the problem the crepes sticking to the plates ..... The importance about my food is, it's fresh, homemade, organic and no preserves or CORN SYRUP.

Yesterday my Walk in Freezer gave up!! It's a old Walk in Freezer.... So thank God for the Cold February Month, I am using the Outside as a Freezer (like in the Old Days, in the Mountains). Today I am getting a new one, but a small one, since I don't use it anyway so much. If I can afford an Ice maker, that will have to happen in Spring ( I hope).

Thank you All for coming out there, even in this COLD. Stay WARM and enjoy still the beautiful Winter.

Interviews!

Ok, I posted the job on Craigs List and got a nice response! Had already interviews and I have to chose my cook soon! It's hard though, every one of them has some good qualifications, now what??
I have to take my time and think it over.......

I made the Valentines Menu for the 14th of February. Yes, I know it's a Monday, BUT we are OPEN for Dinner that DAY. lol. It should be a memorable Evening at my Place!
I will be posting the Menu in a while.
If you want to come, please make Reservations! Space is limited.
Thank you,
Denisa

I am Sick :(

Got home last night and lost my voice! Started not to feel good and woke up this morning sick!!! Everything hurt! I must gotten the Flu or something. I slept the whole day and thank God tomorrow is Monday, I can still relax and take care of this. I didn't go to the Restaurant today and found out there were some people coming for Breakfast. I am sooooo SORRY, I didn't' think even people getting out in this cold and with the Bears GAME?? Even if I wanted to come and do Breakfast for you All, I couldn't. I love doing the Sundays Breakfasts....
Sorry about this inconvenience to ALL. I need to find an other Chef or Cook!!
If anyone is interested, please call the Restaurant for a Cooks Position:
630-208-1594 or 815-210-6603

Our RIBBON CUTTING is coming up!!

It's coming so fast.......... The Ribbon Cutting is on Wednesday the 19th of January!! At 5:00pm in our Restaurant.....
I am so nervous, after all when I talked at the City Hall!!!!!! And then, they are showing it on TV, great! My Stage Fright was so bad, I felt sick of my stomach and thought I will melt into the floor, how hot I got.
I love doing this, but I .... What do I have to do next??

I hope you all come and see Us for this Event! (and maybe, me pass out!) LOL.

Today, I will try to take it easy!

Since my mother is leaving tomorrow, I will try to relax a little with her. Thank you Mom for ALLLLLLL your HELP in our Restaurant!!!! Mondays, we have to stay closed, that is the only Day I can get some things done around My house and can spent some time with my Family. Even, if we work together on the Weekends in the Restaurant, it's not the SAME!
I love you ALL! After reading the Tragedy, what happened in Tucson, makes you realize how precious your kids and Family is!!! AGAIN. People, never forget to say I love you to your LOVED ONES! Never know when you see them again.

Today Three Kings Day!!

I don't believe it's already Three Kings Day today!! The 6th of January. It's time to take all the christmas decoration down. In Switzerland, we ate for Breakfast a round sweet bread, made with 9 buns, it was a circle, looked like a crown. In one of these buns was a little plastic King hidden. And it came with a big golden paper crown. If you bit in one of the buns (sweet breads) and you bit in the little King, you could wear the Crown for the whole day and be the King. And everyone in your Family had to do what you ordered.
I miss these days!! LOL.
