Went to pepperwood over the weekend and had a very good experience. The food was excellent and the service great as well. The place was packed, we got the last available table. Will definately be back!
Went will girlfriends and we had a great time! The food was great, our server was friendly and overall it was quite enjoyable. We loved the decor and all of us enjoyed the house brews. Will definitely go back!
We've actually eaten there three times since we moved to Burlington and when visiting - primarily because of it's location. It's been a little hit-and-miss, once we had a fantastic meal and the other times, just so/so. Never had what I would call a bad meal or experience, though. My husband had the Jerk muscels once - sauce was delicious, but the next time he tried another topping and it was very bland. I ordered the quesadillas, also very bland, but the T&T shrimp were fanstastic. I guess it depends on what you get. They o make great Bellini's and the beer is tasty from the in-house brewery.
With my mother & sister down for a visit we decided to try Pepperwood just for kicks. Wow... what a disappointment. I'm generally an easy going person, and it takes quite a bit to make me complain. Having been a waitress, and a bartender I understand what its like to be busy and short-staffed... but that doesn't explain what was wrong with their food. First, we asked to sit inside - mistake. People on the patio were served before us... WELL before us. We waited almost an hour and a half for our meal. Mum and I both had the shepherd's pie, which was more like a small bowl of beef stew with a toonie sized dollop of cold potato on top. It was so over-salted, we couldn't even get it down, and its description on the menu included the words 'root vegetables'. I saw nothin' but peas and meat. It was served with a handful of salad, that looked like the spring mix I buy at the grocery store. Our appetizer came within a reasonable amount of time, but was soggy and oily. Tempura batter should be dry, not dripping grease. Yarg! REALLY disappointing. At least the beer was good.
I have always loved this place! It's true that as they've changed chefs and servers over time the place has had it's ups and downs, but for me this place will always have a super special place in my heart! Over the years we've dined and lunched here many, many times (both as a couple, and with friends). On the last occasion there my husband and I shared a Tuscan Pizza (perfect size for sharing for a late night snack/meal). This pizza was to dies for! The bottle of Chilen Echeverria Merlot, was also perfect... The patio was full, we were with a group of people and all our drinks and dishes were served in timely fashion... everyone really this place and we're all going back! The bonus for many in our party was that they have their own brewery!
