Ginos Petit Dejeuner

4.5 starts. Gino's Petit Dejeuner restaurant serves breakfasts and lunches that are mostly American and French. Examples of menu items are salads, bagels, crepes, pancakes, French toasts, waffles, omelettes, croissants, paninis and other sandwiches, and coffees. My husband and I ate one breakfast here on a Saturday morning. An employee immediately and courteously greeted us and seated us at a clean and spacious table. Soon she took our order and brought out our drinks and foods. At the end of the meal, she promptly processed our payment and thanked us. Here are my ratings for what my husband and I ate:Turkish Plate - 4.5 stars - I think that Gino might be Turkish, and this entree was one of the few Turkish menu items. It consisted of scrambled eggs, black olives, two cheeses, sliced tomato and cucumber, French fries, toasted bread, jelly, honey, and butter. Fruit Tea Waffle - 5 stars - A waffle was topped with Nutella, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar. The fruits were very fresh, abundant, and sweet. On the side was whipped cream.Egg-bacon Omelet - 4 stars - My husband ate this omelet, and he thought that it tasted good. It was a good size, and it contained bacon, onions, and mozzarella cheese. On the side were three plain pancakes. Orange juice - 4.5 stars - This orange juice contained some purple and tasted fresh.

This place has the look and feel of a great honey hole restaurant. I generally LOVE stumbling into places like this. However.... For us on this day, this whole meal disappointed. The waitstaff was all pleasant and helpful which we greatly appreciated and can not fault them for their service. While I don't like marking places so harshly the only thing I liked eating/drinking here was the water ‍Let's start with my cinnamon latte. I added one pump of vanilla which is a flavor combo I enjoy often. While the texture of the foam was perfect, the flavor(s) made the drink had an ashtray undertone and I could not drink more than two sips. The first sip to try, the second to make sure my taste buds weren't wrong the first time. That was extremely disappointing because the texture of the foam had me really excited about this drink (I saw one walking back to my table from the ladies room and had to order). I can positively say that the kitchen is very efficient at least this am and we did not wait long before our food came out which was great. However... my western omelet was essentially egg paper with veggies and ham in it. While this wasn't terrible to eat, the texture was a major turnoff and the taste did nothing to excite my tastebuds. So I moved onto my pancake sides... they looked adorable but the texture again was such a turn off. They had a tough on the outside but the inside was total mush. Bleh. The flavor of my plain pancakes was... well they chewed/mushed in my mouth. Again a second item that did absolutely nothing to make me rock with joy in a happy food dance. They serve these pancakes with maple syrup which I love and I figured it would be good considering how northern we are... I was wrong. Even the syrup tasted bland. My son had the Nutella pancakes and he ate them without complaint but he also ate the rest of my omelet without complaint so can we really trust his judgement at this point?!? I think not ‍I did love that they served the water at the table for us to refill and the water was pleasant tasting (nice and cool/clean... no nasty city water! For the price I absolutely would not come back but because of the atmosphere, being locally owned (best we can tell), and the staff makes it seem worth giving it a try again if you live near here. It will not be a place I try to return to though. The OJ was also good. Didn't taste home squeezed but it was good. Needless to say decent water and OJ WAS NOT worth the $51.xx ($10 tip). It was also slightly disconcerting that one of the waitresses saw my uneaten food and asked if I liked it. While I tried to be polite, I do always give positive and negative comments when asked so they know where they can improve. When I told her it was not food that I liked and she did not attempt to remedy my lack of enthusiasm about anything in front of me. Again for the price... I won't be looking to come here again. Very sad bc I had so much hope. I will pray it's just a bad day for the cooks.

We eat here often.Always perfect!Our go to for breakfast is Feta and Spinach Crepe.Great Food, Great service, Always!

Such a find! Everything was amazing. We will definitely be back. The crepes were a standout for me, but hte omelets were also fabulous.

My favorite breakfast spot in the suburbs never disappoints! Their cinnamon latte is SO good (flavorful without feeling like you're drinking a dessert first thing in the morning) - I get it every time we go. The savory crepes are delicious as well. My favorite is the spinach & feta (to which I usually add some other veggies like peppers or mushrooms). It's cheesy & stuffed with vegetables so it fills you up without making you feel stuffed. I also like how they're served with a side salad (the dressing is a really yummy house Italian). It's a delicious, healthy breakfast. I would also highly recommend the egg bread. It's a piece of beautiful brioche toast stuffed with scrambled eggs & several veggies (peppers, onions, etc). Service is quick without feeling rushed, and I've noticed that they have hired more wait staff recently. My only comment would be that they could do more with the ambiance. It's nice & bright, but there isn't anything necessarily "special" about it. Also, if you go with a large group (more than 4) you are seated at a picnic bench table without backs - I was thinking how that might be difficult for older patrons. Overall, however, this is a great spot & I find myself craving their coffee & crepes!Food: A-Drinks: A-Service: BAmbiance: B-

Don't be scared off by this place being in a strip.We got chicken crepe, ham & cheese crepe, chicken panini with fries, and egg cheese croissant. The salad, which has arugula, is delicious... totally made by the homemade dressing. Everything was fresh and perfectly seasoned. It was super busy when we arrived around 11am; we got the last table in the place. There are 10-12 tables in the front, and the noise level is what you would expect in a small spot like this.The service was good, especially considering how busy they were. We would easily return here for delicious breakfast or lunch!

Cafe atmosphere with great food, healthy choices, and friendly staff. I had a cheese crepe that was offered with potatoes or salad. I chose the latter. My other breakfast crew had vegetable omelets and French toast. All were delicious according to the crew.

Cute place. Great service and great food. Large menu and excellent coffee. Highly recommend.

It serves good food and not that long of a wait time it had variety with breakfasts and had some lunch options I hope this helps

Found Gino's on Yelp and tried it on our way to D.C. from Ohio. We have been trying to patronize independent businesses more than big chain places. What a GREAT find! Right off the highway too. Great menu, the food was fresh made, delicious, real butter, real whipped cream on the French toast, quick, friendly service! French press coffee was fantastic and had enough left to take to-go. Oh - and the coffee mugs were warmed instead of pouring hot coffee into a cold mug. Our gal was so efficient and sweet- we didn't have to ask for anything. And- SUPER clean, even the restroom was spotless. We will stop here again next trip by!
