Celebrating our Anniversary was a must a here. Being new to the state we had no idea where to go and so friends recommended here. So glad we celebrated at Peppervine. The service (Ed) made sure no detail was missed. He was great! The food was excellent! The yeast rolls are one to not pass. Overall a great experience! We will definitely be back.

This was our first time visiting and we will be back. The staff were amazing. We were celebrating my kids’ birthdays and when we told the server, she made sure to bring out a special “dessert” for each of them. Maddy was very attentive and friendly, we couldn’t have asked for her to be any better. Word of advice, go for the waffles with strawberries. Yum!

We were lucky to get a last minute reservation for bar seats. Which was great, because Erica was an amazing bartender and we enjoyed watching her create incredible cocktails and chatted away. She gave us dessert on the house for being her fave customers that night. The food was incredible. I loved the whole experience!
