Their breakfast isn't that good to be honest. The only positive thing about this restaurant is the view & that's all.

Breakfast on a bright Sunday morning!
A second home to me when it comes to breakfast & the staff. The breakfast I got today was strawberry chocolate banana crepes with a side of bacon, AMAZING! Phillipe who served me 100% is an easy 10/10.

Crescendo was such a pleasant discovery! I was looking for an Italian restaurant that offers authentic Italian dishes so decided to take a chance after searching on Google. The few dishes of pasta that we tried were delicious. We then went for breakfast onsite & had another positive experience. This place ticks off all the boxes. Great food & friendly staff. The owner greets & sits guests himself (whenever he is available), personable too as he takes the time to talk to them. My family & I have been enjoying this gem of a restaurant since discovering it approximately six months ago.

1st time dining here, it was a nice experience. Nothing you can't find anywhere else, & a bit pricey on the breakfast menu. Very clean bathrooms which is always nice too. A bit of a wait to get the check, but all in all a very pleasant dining experience.
