Settlers Ridge is filled with chain restaurants, and while a lot of them aren't bad, it does get tiresome eating the same thing over and over again. That's why I'm glad I found Stone Pepper's Grill tucked around the back of the Ridge (that's right, I just gave a the street name for Settlers Ridge) between Barnes and Noble and LA Fitness.
There's nothing exceptional about this restaurant- the service is OK, the ambiance isn't anything special, and the food is good but not great. What I like about this place is that it gives variety in a location that doesn't give much.
I do like the apple walnut salad, and their mushroom pizza is also very good. I've also had the pasta here a few times, and it is also good.
The menu is diverse and the price is average. Also, they have gluten free items, which is nice, and everything I've had there is fresh,
If you're looking for something different at the Ridge, swing by Stone Pepper's for something different and local.
