    The pizzas are always great however, the last three times I’ve been the pizza has been inconsistent. Still good however not the same each time.

    What a terrific brunch. It's something Hersh's does only three times a year (I'm told), so pay attention to their media feed and jump. Drinks, food and Pepe's clam pizza!

    The food is always excellent here. Our waitress did a great job but our party of five all thought that perhaps the wait staff were spread thin.

    Overall great experience. Our server was very slow. Barely checked in on us. We asked for the cocktails to come out with dinner…. That didn’t happen. Would I come back again? Sure but I’ll sit at the bar next time.
