    Incredible food and awesome service! The staff was very kind and knowledgeable about their menu, and they were very accommodating to allergens.

    The food was very good as usual; Riley at the front desk was great and service from Samantha was exceptional. We would love to have her as our server anywhere. One down-note, which has nothing to do with the excellent dining experience, is that P&D no longer accepts the InKind payment App; so if you loaded a significant amount of $ on that app, in part because you loved P&D, you will need to use it elsewhere.

    We had a wonderful experience and fantastic food! Everything tasted so good! Our server was very attentive, yet not intrusive. She was great. The room where we sat was beautiful and not as loud as the main room. Overall, everything was great!

    We enjoyed a delightful late lunch at Pepp and Dolores. Everything, from the food to the service, was excellent. We will be back the next time we are in Cincinnati.

    Pepp and Delores is subpar in my opinion. I expected a really nice meal based on the difficulty in getting a reservation. I ordered the Limone pasta. The waiter mentioned they serve everything al dente. My pasta was barely cooked. Perhaps this is what they consider al dente... I would consider it chewy and starchy. I couldn't eat it. Our main meal also took 1&1/2 hours to come from the time of our reservation. There are several wonderful Italian options in Cincinnati. I would go elsewhere. I won't be back.
