I have to preface this review by saying that I dined at Peppers once before and remember the experience as a good one.
However, this past Sunday was a complete disaster.
We arrived at Peppers around 7pm on a Sunday night. We were seated right away and the place was about half full for a late Sunday dinner. We ordered a drink and our meals fairly quickly and then waited. We watched as our waitress calmly chatted with a table across from us for a good 10 minutes. When she did bring the bread and salads I should have hoped that she talked longer and forgot to bring this part of the meal. We received 2, literally 2, very smalls rolls. The one that looked the most edible, my boyfriend snatched first and left me with something that looked and smelled like old olive bread. I ate 3 bites, drenched in butter, decided to give up and move onto the salad.
The salad was the next disappointment. It was very obvious that it was a bag of iceberg lettucs with precut carrots. Ugh! Could have gotten that from the grocery store. The balsamic vinagrette dressing I ordered came in the two seperate bottles which were incredibly hard to poor and ran down the side of the bottle onto my hands.
A few minutes after our food arrived. My boyfriend ordered veal parm with penne pasta. It was a large portion and he said "it wasn't bad". I ordered the fettuccine pasta with pesto sauce and chicken. To me, it tasted incredibly bland and the chicken tasted frozen. I sprinkled my dish was salt, olive oil and cheese multiple times to try to get some taste. I was so disappointed because I was really hungry and the last time I ate here it was good. It also didn't help that the whole time we were there the microwave in the kitchen kept going off. We could literally hear the microwave door opening and closing and the timer going off repeatedly. That probably should have been our first clue that our meal was going to be a letdown. Maybe we came on the wrong day at the wrong time, but the whole meal was such a disappointment. For the prices they charge (veal parm =$19.95; pasta with pesto and chicken =$14.95) the quality of the food should have been much better.
