We were there the night of an event at the Bushnell. Place was packed. Our reservation was for 7:00 but didn’t get seated until 7:25pm. After 10-15 minutes of being ignored I told a server who was not assigned to our table where our server was and that we had been ignored. He took our order and eventually our server showed up. We had terrible service from her all evening. Once the crowds left for the show, we were one of 4 parties left on our side of the restaurant. Then we had literally 4 servers and the hostess waiting and checking up with us. Our main server continued to be occupied somewhere else and provided limited attention. I did provide a 15% tip but probably should not have. The fact we were ignored and after speaking up about the service which did not improve until after the majority of customers left was not acceptable. We Although the food was good, the service is also important. We will not be dining at Peppercorn’s again

Setting was nice, and server pleasant and attentive. However, the food was not up to the standards that this place has offered/met in the past, or at least inconsistent in meeting them....Menu READS great, but execution +/-. Excessive dressing added to one salad/appetizer, & entrees (2 of 4) arrived "cool" rather than warm/hot. Since our two guests were "foodies", they were underwhelmed. Sad, as this place has been a reliable "go to" for excellence in the past. (We kidded at our table that perhaps the chef was off and the sous-chef was covering that evening....but fear that maybe there's been a change in chef/oversight since our last visit......)

It was busy evening and seating was very crowded. Had to physically move table to fit into chair which was on top of the person behind. The tables are very close with a narrow aisle where only 1 waiting staff can fit to walks up and down to tend to customers. 3 small slices of bread in bread basket and basket taken away when done before meal. Loud noisy environment when busy so if sensitive to noise can be problematic. Staff was attentive and Food was overall good. Pasta and Filet excellent; chicken dish disappointing. Not the romantic dinner I envisioned. Ask for tables closest to front window area, which seemed to have made a difference in atmosphere.

Food was nicely prepared and presented. Bread was excellent. Artichoke app, clams and mussels app and house salad were delicious. The pumpkin ravioli was delicate and lovely, but a little too sweet for a main course. It tasted more like a dessert. My husband's gnocchi bolognese was very good. Chocolate bread pudding was excellent. Chef definitely has talent. Service was slow even though we dined early and it wasn't busy at all while we were there. Ambience was pleasant, although the carpeting looked dirty and worn. Detracted from the overall sophisticated atmosphere.

Very small portion size on ravioli dinners given the price paid (4-5 Raviolis). Went home slightly hungry. Also, background pop music was more fitting for a club, not Peppercorn's. Decor , wait staff, and quality of food was very good.

We told pour waiter at 5:45 PM we were seeing a show at &;30 PM. He assured us that wouldn't be an issue. Other diners seated after us got their meals; our entrees arrived at 7:05 PM- 2 of which were undercooked and two arrived a few minutes after the other. We didn't have time to enjoy the food (which was excellent) and carried it off in to go bags. Rushing to get to the theater- no dessert or coffee

The food was excellent. Really delicious. Our waitress was not attentive and dismissive. During our meal a gentleman came in off the street and started panhandling at all of the tables in the restaurant. I let the waitress know because I thought she should, and she seemed unhappy that I pointed it out to her. It took about ten minutes for our wine to be brought to our table, and in the meanwhile we were ready to order but despite walking past our table half a dozen times she waited until she brought our wine to take our order. At the prices that are charged and the upscale environment of the restaurant, I expect more friendly, more attentive service. She was just adequate.

The food and service at Peppercorn's are consistently excellent. However, on this particular visit, I spscifically asked that my dish be made with minimal oil and/or butter, and our waiter assured me that that would not be a problem. But, when the dish arrived and I began eating it, it was clear that the chef had not taken care to prepare my meal as I had requested, and it, in fact, contained an excessive amount of fat. My dining companion had ordered the same dish, prepared in the normal way, and both looked exactly the same - glistening with a great deal of oil. The waiter again assured me that the chef had prepared the dish with as little oil as possible, but I consider myself an amateur chef and I know I could have prepared that dish in a much more healthful way and it would have been just as, if not even more, delicious. So, yes, go to Peppercorn's for the outstanding food, just not if you have any dietary restrictions.
