That Crepe Place

A good stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner, That Crepe Place has a menu full of good selections.  So much so you may have trouble decided on just one to order.  However you probably don’t want to order more than one for yourself since the portion sizes are large and very filling. 

I’ve tried the Mediterranean which consisted of Chicken Breast, Feta Cheese, Sweet Roasted Red Peppers, Fresh Baby Spinach, with Balsamic Glaze and the Nutella and Fruit Crepe which was full of Creamy Hazelnut Chocolate spread with choice of Bananas and Strawberries.  Both were very delicious!!

There’s not a whole lot of seating: 3 or 4 high round tables and chairs and a few tables and chairs outside.  But the decor is very fresh and clean.

It was kind of neat to watch the crepe creation process.  I overheard the owner say that he’d like to eventually franchise the concept which I could see taking off with the unique concept.

Double Days

                                                

One of the new restaurants I tried out last month was Double Days Grill and Tavern in Centerville.  (Their pizza kitchen is known as Monster Pizza.)   

I tried the Creature Feature (hawaiian) pizza with ham. The pizza was delicious (I think it had some cinnamon in it!), and the restaurant had great service with an environment that was cozy and family friendly. 

I will definately be back to try other menu items. I love that it's a local place in a shopping center. Definately a hidden treasure!

Spinoza's

                                                  
If you live in the Dayton area and you haven't been to Spinoza's yet you're missing out. 

It's located by Sears in the Fairfield Mall so there's plenty of parking. 

I checked this place out for the first time last December and probably have gone at least 7 or 8 times since then (which is saying alot coming from someone who doesn't like to eat out too much and likes trying different places!)

Spinoza's atmoshere is relaxed with live music Thursday through Saturday. Service is usually pretty quick even with a big group. 

I've gone with 1 person all the way up to 22, sometimes for lunch and sometimes for dinner and each time I've enjoyed my experience. 

The salads and pizzas are great. My favorite salad is the drunken goat and even some people that don't typically like salads have liked Spinoza's! I've tried 8 of their gourmet pizzas and enjoyed each one of them. You can tell they use fresh ingredients that are good quality and serving sizes.
