Peppers Garden & Grill

A group of seven of us went on a Friday night. All ordered something different and all were very pleased with our meals. Delicious Teriyaki Beef & Broiled Scallops with Spinach Risotto and Steamed Zucchini. Portions were generous and our waitress was very pleasant and accommodating.

A local guy asked me to meet him at Peppers for dinner. I looked up some reviews online, and most said it used to be better. My friend said he hadn’t been there for years, so neither of us knew what to expect.
I liked the atmosphere right away — the bar was noisy (even at 5:00pm), but we sat in a booth in the dining room under some healthy hanging plants. Service was quick and friendly but not glommy (you know the type). My friend actually remembered the servers from years back! Much to be said for longevity!
He ordered haddock chowder and a Caesar salad, I had the grilled shrimp salad. The chowder looked great, though I didn’t have a taste. Big chunks of fish and potatoes, obvious butter and lots of flavorful herbs. My salad was excellent — fresh and crisp with a nice variety of veggies (though I found the dressing a bit too tangy) and the shrimp were absolutely delicious — grilled perfectly with a nice char and really deep flavor. We didn’t have room for dessert, but those we saw brought to other tables looked great.
One side note — the ladies’ room was lovely, but the air freshener smell was overpowering. It would be a good idea to tone it down.
I would definitely return. Maybe for dessert this time!

Nothing special here. Outside garden was busy on this Friday night which might be why service suffered inside. We wanted to order appetizers but didn’t because it took so long just to get our beverages. Fish tacos were disappointing; steak was tough. We could see in the kitchen & some of the help were wearing flip flops; not only unprofessional but kind of gross. We won’t be returning.

Really enjoyed our meal here and love the number of menu choices. We commented that it’s the kind of place you could go a couple times a week to try different things. Food is really fresh and tasty. Great service, and food came out pretty quickly! Lively bar.

Great food & great people! I dare you to stop in and try Johns hot wings! I recommend enjoying a few cold ones here.
