    Our evening was a definite disappointment. The service was very rushed. We were pressed to order dinner before our cocktails were ready and salad and appetizers were served together before we had a chance to take our first sips. Dinner arrived just shortly afterwards and was uneven. One dish was delicious, one was so-so, and the third was disappointing at best. There is a distinct difference between pasta which al dente and that which is simply undercooked. All in all this was not the experience we had been hoping for.

    Our meal here was very good. We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation. Everyone enjoyed the appetizers, drinks, and pasta. The only downside is that they do not serve dessert and directed us to Graeter’s down the street. Love Graeter’s, but it would have been more convenient to have coffee and dessert while we were already there.

    Pepp and Delores went above and beyond my expectations. It was already my favorite restaurant but last night was so much more than I ever expected. My fiancé and I got engaged a few hours before our reservation. When they found out, they made our night even more special. Every employee we saw congratulated us and the manager sent out several things for us as well. So glad Pepp and Delores got to be a part of our special day!!!
