I loved every place but Teppanyaki and Alfredo (due to the server/food was good) If I had to tell somebody one thing it is to always ask before you order.

Thanks for the report. Great breakdown of the food and money spent.

Sounds like you had a great time! When you ate at Pepper Market was that counted as a counter service? I noticed you said it was "okay" did you mean the food wasn't that good? Thanks!

 

[Aimeedyan]

I'm sorry you had some disappointing meals! I hate when poor service ruins what could be a good meal.

Thanks for sharing!

Pepper Market to me was way over priced. The wok sampler could have been warmer. The steak had to be taken back and cooked because blood was still coming out of it. (we had asked it to be med well) The potato had to be 3 days old, so they brought us out fries. Service was bad we had to use the next tables waitress when we needed something. Then there was no sign about the dessert so like all the rest of the places we got cake, but then found out all you got was a cookie. We explained we did not know because our hostess said every thing was fair game. So we did not get charged for the desserts after talking to the manager. If anybody was any more questions feel free to ask.

Great review thanks. I also think it's very nice that you went as a family, even though you and your brother are obviously not little kids any more. My oldest DD and I are going in a couple of weeks, but my youngest DD isn't going, one out of two is better than none.

The trip cosisted of myself 23, mom, and little brother. Well it was planned as a girl get away, but little brother had to tag along at the last min. We celebrated my moms 46th birthday at Disney. Her big night was at Narcooses with the slipped dessert.
