Peppy's In The Gables - Coral Gables

This place is fantastic! Cute,quaint,service was superb, food was wonderful, chef came out to greet us and inquire about food, I can't say enough, we'll be back!! thank you!

A bit of a stretch to get here for me, but worth the drive. It is a great place to eat.

I live in Coral Gables and have never been to Peppy's. I received a gift certificate from one of my attorney customers for Christmas in this past weekend decided to try it out. I was very pleasantly surprised with the restaurant. It was very cozy and romantic, reminded me of some of the restaurants in Charleston, SC, the food was excellent and perfectly cooked and the service and attention was like no other. Our waitress, Luz, was very attentive and, at our request, recommended the plates and desserts we had which were superb. This is a repeat and we plan to go back frequently.

The waiter had no clue, only two tables filled and he couldn't handle it. The food was overpriced, got linguine with seafood, got 4 shrimp and some mushrooms for $13.95 at lunch. Soup was $4.50, in a shallow dish. Mediocre food, terrible service.

My husband and I stopped at this restaurant because we were close by and were somewhat perplexed by the food. The restaurant ambience was great; dimmed old time lights. It felt romantic. The service was very good. There was a man playing a guitar in the background and I thought we won the lottery with this restaurant. The bread was warm and excellent; brought out with roasted garlic, olive oil with mint leaves, and tasty black and green olives that were heavenly. For appetizer we ordered the chef's special Tuscan Scallops that were fabulous done over Italian toasted bread and topped with tomatoes in a great sause; can’t say enough of this appetizer I wish we would of ordered more. Then, we order our entrees and what a flop. I ordered Saltimbocca with chicken and pasta to accompanied it. I have tried better sauces from a jar; that's how bad this one was. My husband ordered Veal Marsala and it was as bad as mine (actually my husband and I argue all night about who's was worst). My husband's guess is that the chef was not working that night. We couldn't eat our plate and just happened that I had seen a plate pass me by to the back table earlier and saw it go back to the kitchen barely eaten. I don't know what happened there but I can take a guess. The restaurant got full after we came and I thought that if this much people came to this place that maybe this place was not going to be that bad; how wrong can one be. I usually try to read reviews before going anywhere but we wanted to be spontaneous and it didn't work this time. Discontented but not discouraged; we'll try other restaurants.
