    The portion sizes are not too large, which I really enjoy. It allows for you to try a variety of items. The flavors are excellent.

    The menu is interesting and has a lot of innovative options. The food was good, but not exceptional, lacking the nuanced flavors that we had expected from previous reviews. Our server, Shellie, was outstanding and she made the experience a lot of fun.

    We have dined with you many times. Mostly walking in and sitting at the basement bar. Every time is perfect. Patrick did a great job on a busy New Year’s Eve night! Your restaurant is definitely a favorite!

    The attention to our group was superb- from being seated to having Mark, who is lovely, provide service at our table. The food was delicious and the recommendations from Mark were helpful. It is always a delight to go to Pepp & Dolores.
