    The ricotta toast was amazing as was my vodka rigatoni with meatballs. We went as a date night with friends before a show. The service was excellent, knowledgable and timely. We wish we would've had room for dessert and must come back to try that honey pie!

    We had a delicious December lunch at Pepp & Dolores! The host and our waiter (Mark) were very welcoming and gracious. We enjoyed The Dunk bread and dip, first. Then we shared the Gem salad. My husband ordered the Sunday Sauce entree and I chose the Butternut Squash Ravioli. The food and service were excellent! It is a little pricey, but a nice occasional treat.

    Our experience at Court Street Kitchen was amazing. The oysters were so fresh and tasty. The pasta was fresh and seasoned just right. The mushroom ragout was out of this world. They also made our anniversary very special with a delicious treat. The service from Sam was impeccable. We will be back.
