Corey, our waiter was nice. We specifically came for the sticky toffee pudding creme brulee and were not disappointed.

We were the only people in there with a toddler. Our server was Todd. The staff was amazing and very gracious..  we did have the risotto balls for appetizer they were fresh crisp, and cheesy. Pesto sauce was my daughters favorite. I loved the marinara. The food was top-notch, wine was amazing. Drinks were great. Unfortunately, we got the specials, so I can’t give direct quotes on what we had but it was so so good and fresh.. Tiramisu crème brûlée and the cannolis were 5 star for dessert . I cannot express how wonderful and friendly the staff were . They made sure that we were taken care of and little things for our toddler that we had. 

We knew that our dinner was going to a great experience but it far exceeded our expectations! The filet and beef Wellington were exceptional and so delicious! My husband and I are still raving how excellent everything was. He even remarked that the filet was better than any steak he’s ever had and that says a lot as we used to live in Texas and have been to one of the best Steakhouses ever! We of course also had to try the Wedge salads, very good, and the Vanilla Cheesecake, delicious and Sticky Toffee Pudding which I think is one of the best desserts I’ve ever had in my life! It was a special treat for us celebrating our 10 yr anniversary and we were not disappointed. We definitely will be back! Also it was a treat to meet Chef Joseph and thank him for our exceptional meal!

Kyle our server was amazing great guy ……………………….

This weekend evening at dinner time when the local baseball game was on-going should have provided personalized and individualized care. However, with one bartender and one server (I so no food runner or assistants or managers either) the service was slow. When it happened, the server was marginal but the bartender, Toni, was absolutely fabulous! She not only made you feel welcome and appreciated, she made the BEST Paper Plane in the Universe! The mix of doos that we selected was well presented and tasty. The menu however is very small and Pennydrop is more of an upscale bar with a small bar menu as opposed to a full service restaurant with an amazing bar. When the baseball game finished and a crowd from the game flowed in, the service slowed even further and lines at the bar were much longer. With a few more staff members, the experience would have been maximized. Regardless of this, I will be back for my next Paper Plane before I head out of town.
