Pied Piper offers a warm, historic ambiance with standout dishes like the "smash burger" and "coastal chowder." Guests appreciate the "friendly attentive service" and "great food," though some note high drink prices. Challenges during peak times and recent staffing issues have led to mixed experiences, particularly during New Year's events.

    Food and service was excellent here. Some of the cocktails were a little overpriced but food was priced very fairly for what you got. The Coastal Chowder was incredible. Wagyu burger with egg on top - chef's kiss. Really would return next time there is an event in the area.

    Ambiance is great, lighting could be dimmer, service top notch and prices for drinks are very high.

    I had read a previous bad review on this restaurant but the assured me that it was due to a problem they had solved. The meal was really low quality! The four people in our party have the same opinion. The sea bass was chewy, salty and had a terrible combination of flavors ( cooked with chorizo 😳). It was also too fishy, not very fresh at all. The desert could have come from a frozen container from Trader Joe’s… nothing special! And the salad… we could have skipped that no problem. The only good thing was the soup. The service was very slow at first… they took 45 minutes to serve us. And after we complained they brought us things too fast as they brought the fish while we were having our salad. The ambiance was anything but classy with people in several tables hitting their plates with the utensils to call the staff’s attention. I would not recommend this at all.

The quality of the sea bass, dessert, and salad, along with the service delays and rushed pacing, fell far below our standards. The issues you described, including the lack of ambiance, are unacceptable, and I sincerely regret that we did not deliver the experience you were promised. Please know that your feedback has been shared with our culinary and service teams and these concerns have been addressed. I would love the opportunity to regain your trust and welcome you back for a better experience. Please let me know if you would consider returning, and I will personally oversee your visit to ensure it’s nothing short of exceptional. Warm regards, Charlyn C. Pied Piper GM

    Absolutely horrible experience at their New Year’s dinner. Would not recommend to anyone. Food was not great. Our poor waiter did his best but he was given far too many tables to handle.
