Pappas was so fun! I do wish we went on a Friday when there are dancers, but the music was fun and we loved the playlist. The atmosphere, food and service were all excellent and we can't wait to go back!

A first time diner and the food, service and overall vibe was exquisite. Gabriel was our server and he was knowledgeable and attentive. They had the Christmas decor up and we literally cleared out plates. Apps, main course and dessert were excellent.

We used to regularly go here for its proximity to a theater venue we prefer. We've not been back for a couple of years due to living abroad. Nothing has changed. The service and food are excellent. We were surprised to learn our server was new. She was a total pro, keeping standards we grew to respect over that last 10 years high.

Food was delicious. Pricing was reasonable. Ambiance was good. There was no salt & pepper on my table. Took some time to find a waiteress to bring me the salt & pepper well after my food came out. To be fair, I was there during a shift change.
