    Another great dining experience. The grilled lamb chops had a delicious Demi glaze and the veggies and potatoes were roasted to perfection. My sword fish was grilled to the right temperature. The couscous was full of flavor. Our stuffed mushrooms were a big disappointment; dry over cooked and not much flavor. Karen, our server was professional, pleasant, and quick on her feet. We will return.

    As a life long Pepe’s fan I felt traitorous walking into the new Sally’s in Wethersfield last night. Now, I have to admit, I might’ve been converted! I loved the updates from the NewHaven model. Great craft cocktails and full bar and more upscale atmosphere. Our family loved that it had a more restaurant quality, than just a pizza house. We tried a lovely Fried Mozzarella app and had the half portion of Carbonara. Both were excellent. Now, On to the pizza!!! Wow! Loved the cook and char. Absolutely best crust/dough flavor. Both the potato pizza and the red pie with bacon and garlic were Phenomenal! Best pizza that I’ve had in a while. Sorry Frank…Sally might have a new fan on their hands. We will be back for sure!

    Excellent food and quite affordable brunch menu. We had the kids in tow and while they didn't have a kids' brunch menu, my kids loved "The Wethersfield" and "The Glastonbury." My only quibble would be to maybe create a kids' brunch menu because the portions are enormous; still, the prices were so reasonable that we didn't mind paying full price even if there was a bit of leftover food. A huge hit overall - we'll definitely be back!

    Overall the food was good, we ordered the porterhouse for 2, ribeye, & salmon. The only thing that was lack luster was the service. Our waiter left without saying anything and we were waiting for the check for about 30 minutes. Finally another waiter noticed we were waiting to leave and helped cash us out.
