I would assume on busier days like the weekend, parking would be pretty difficult. We were sat right away. It smelled so good in there from the fresh squeezed orange juice. There are plenty of tables and bar seating. My mom ordered the portabella scramble and I ordered a half order of the portabella Benedict. We both really liked what we ordered. The potatoes were lacking a little bit of flavor, but salt helped. Portions were good-sized for the price. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. We will be back if we are in the area.

Earlier in the day, we had an epic failure trying to get something from a local bakery, leaving us utterly frustrated and disappointed. But the smiling faces, wonderful hospitality, and marvelous food at Pepe's more than made up for the disappointing start to our morning! Thank you, Pepe's, for reminding us how much a little kindness, great service, and delicious food can make a difference. You turned our day around, and we couldn't be more grateful!

Pepe's Cafe is a super cute, classic diner right on the Mill Street Downtown Promenade. It's a…read morepedestrian-only zone, so it's a nice walk, just be ready to park a block or two away. We got there right as they opened at 10 AM. The vibe is really cozy and they have cool paintings from local artists for sale on the walls. The menu has some great Mexican-inspired options too, like Huevos Rancheros and frittatas. The morning was a bit of a free-for-all, though. Even with a 'Wait to be Seated' sign, the locals just grabbed menus and sat wherever they wanted, so we did the same. Service was definitely on the slow side--at one point, one of the locals actually marched into the kitchen to demand her food, complaining she'd been waiting over an hour for some eggs! On the bright side, my orange juice ($3.66) was amazing and tasted freshly squeezed. Unfortunately, I waited about 40 minutes for my house salad ($13.07), and while the orange and avocado slices looked great, the salad itself was a soggy mess by the time it arrived. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's a charming spot, but between the long wait and the food quality, it was a bit of a mixed experience.

Tried this spot for the first time. Was excited to find something new in the area! Yay!!…read more This place offers small tapas type meals. We ordered it by DoorDash. They have nice to-go containers, but be careful because they do leak! Depending on the dish. The paper bag got a little grease on it, so beware of your seats (if Togo!) The organic corn cake was amazing in my dish. I really enjoyed that. Nice job! The dish I got was Arepa de la Casa, and it all went well together. If your party is ordering individually, don't order this alone, because it requires to be paired with another dish that has a protein. It's more of an accompaniment, not a meal. My partner got the Steelhead Trout. This dish is more of a meal. He did enjoy. He was convinced it was salmon. It did look like salmon and it kind of tasted like it too! Haha We decided to share the Chicken Adobo. The thigh chicken --by placing my fork to eat, fell right off and onto my fork. It looked moist! However, upon eating, it was extremely dry!!! Bone dry! Which was very surprising how moist it looked! The flavors were good otherwise, so a little disappointed. But the good news, that can be fixed! The rice underneath had a nice flavor too. If I recall, it was more of a wet rice. His brother got the Arepas Rellenas: Carne Desmechada. Also more of a meal. Now on this dish, the protein (brisket) was very present, but for $24 it should be! It was basically the same size as my dish for $14. We should have shared, but I don't care for brisket! Haha I think in this meal you would want to have more of the accompaniments to even it out. So I suggest to order the Arepa de la Casa to go with it. I love what they're doing. I love how the menu is limited, which can be good or bad. I think I want try it again with the perspective of blending some of the plates together and hopefully the chicken cook time improves. :) I wish this spot the best of luck!

Cocktail menu was unique and we enjoyed both of our drinks. The place seats a lot of people and seemed pretty booked, so I'd def recommend making reservations in advance. The interior decor is well thought out and curated, while preserving history of the old, original building. They had a live jazz band, which created a cool ambiance, but I will say it was quite loud inside. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend it to others.

In all honesty, the hostess staff told us they could not guarantee a booth. However, when we arrived, we were told that all the booths were full, and we were seated in the main dining room. I walked into the bar to take a look at the booths and one was completely empty. Disappointing. The menu was creative and had something for everyone from meat eaters to vegetarians and vegans. Shout out to server Sierra, who was friendly and happy to make recommended and answered all of our questions with a smile. The setting is open and a little loud, but being in the National Hotel, the aesthetic flowed well with the hotel decor. The disappointing part of my party's experience was the fact that service took sooo long. We ordered an appetizer which came out with our main entrees. And drinks that we ordered before any of the food came out, came long after our meal had been served and only after we we asked what had happened to them. We were told that the bar was very busy and that's what delayed our drinks. However, with such a popular hotel, you think they would plan for this in advance. Overall, I would dine here again, but not during the busy dinner service. I would come during off hours only or be seated for dinner at 5 PM before the rush.

I was excited to drink it but both my friend and I took a sip and made the same exact disgusted face. There was nothing redeeming about the drink, and it tasted like chalk. The stars for this place were for the scone, which was delicious. That said, the chai was awful and I wouldn't recommend.

When we got home and opened them, both were completely burned and well done. We called about 25 minutes after picking up the order, as soon as we saw the burgers. I explained that we had just come home from the hospital with our three-day-old newborn and lived 30 minutes away, so driving back was not possible. I offered to send photos that clearly showed how burned the burgers were. The person I spoke with still said he couldn't help us unless we brought them back. I asked to speak with a manager, and he told me there was no manager there. Mistakes happen, but asking us to make another hour-long drive with a newborn just to show them the burgers was unreasonable. We ended up throwing the food in the trash, and they lost loyal customers of many years over the way they handled this. We won't be coming back, and we definitely won't recommend this place again.

We hope this honest review will help realize the chef/cook to sample try some of their own food to make sure it's really what they want to serve because as far as taste goes, especially since all the food we had received was so bland this rating should be a 0 :( we believe in 2nd chances so hopefully they take this review as a positive for a better outcome going forward.
