When I got a craving for crepes while in Seattle for the weekend, I found Cafe Darclee listed in a restaurant guide and we headed over after dinner. To our disappointment, they had already closed (it was 9:00). We came back the next day to an empty restaurant, which was a shame because the ambience was quite nice, and the women running the restaurant were very friendly. My boyfriend and I are from Portland, so perhaps we are naive by the cost of things, because when we opened our menus, we were both shocked to see that the savory crepes were $12 and up, paninis were $10, and sweet crepes were $6 and up. The crepe restaurant that we frequent in Portland costs far less, so we were a little blown away. The crepes themselves were good, not extraordinary, but good. We also ordered two coffee drinks that were served in to go cups, which I thought was a waste. Perhaps the high prices go along with the upscale building they occupy or the fact that they are near Seattle Center. Overall I felt that if a crepe costs that much, it should be super good or you should get two.
Pros: Ambience, service
Cons: High prices/average quantity

After reading the great reviews, I decided this would be the place to celebrate my first birthday in Washington. I was looking for a hip, upbeat, romantic restaurant. My husband and I made reservations to ensure us seating, since the reviews said it is quite a busy place. We were quite pleased to find parking right across from the restaurant. As we walked up to the restaurant, we could see through the windows there weren’t any other customers. We weren't sure they were even open. We went in and were promptly seated, obviously being the only couple there. I really didn't find the atmosphere very romantic. It wasn't dimly lit and there wasn’t a candle in sight. The menus were printed on folded paper. I ordered a Panini that was quite bland. We decided to stay for dessert because of the great reviews. We had the banana & nutella filled crepe. It was very good; I was however disappointed I couldn't have a glass of wine with it due to the lack of a liquor license. I would recommend this place as a great place to have lunch but not as a place for a romantic birthday dinner.
Pros: Parking, Service, Prompt seating,
Cons: Not romantic, cocktails not available
