Got an email for grand opening this weekend.  Automatic 30% off no email print out needed.  Got a French crepe to share with my little one.  Dunno about this place.. like to support non-chain restaurants.. but to be frank.. it wasn't that good.  The crepe consistency is more tortilla like than the crepe I'm use too.. not crispy, not light..as you can see from the half eaten mess above.. it looks like a quesadilla.. the salad was ok.. but the dressing melted into the crepe flat burrito.. and kinda ruin the taste a little too.  Some harsh reviews on yelp as well.  We like the crepe place at the Spectrum more..
 
I walk by this place a lot and was curious. I guess I will just keep walking.... Crepes over at Champagne French Bakery are good, along with their brioche french toast.
 
Yeah - seriously disappointed by this place and don't think it will last long.  Small selection and didn't think the food was very good.  On top of that, as others have written, Champagne is much better and has some of the same food and the crepe place at The Spectrum is much, much better (but, unfortunately, not walking distance from my house).

On top of that, the newly opened Bruxie is so much better and is very similar except everything is on a waffle instead of a crepe.

Still waiting for Creamistry...  This morning, they said on Facebook they're just waiting for inspections to open.

Sparkling cider... Best part of the meal.. It was free during opening weekend...

I never made it back to try again... Their yelp reviews seem to be decent...
 
Yelp reviews do seem decent.  However, from your photos, the skin does look pretty thick.  I do really like quesadillas with a crunchy tortilla :) 

 
Probably old news but looks like these guys closed down within the last few weeks... went to finally try them and it was dark (windows were blacked out) and a For Lease sign was present.

Yeah - my wife and I were walking over to Chipotle and saw the crepe place was gone.  No surprise since they didn't have enough variety to keep busy in that plaza.  Also saw that Pan Asia is now a Vietnamese noodle place but didn't try it.

I really wish Champagne would stay open past 7pm so there were more dinner choices at the plaza.  It took a hit years ago when the grill place closed and became Bruegger's Bagels.  That place had horrible service but good food.

So, the only places open for dinner are Champagne (if you eat really early), Chipotle, and whatever the wheel-of-sushi place is this week...    I don't count Subway or Red Brick Pizza as places to go eat dinner.
