The Peppered Pig blew my tastebuds in such a delightful way. Anything french excites me and this is the closest I'v ever been in Rochester. My wife and I finally take a quick break from our kids to have a date night. The chill and elegant environment is what we were looking for -- this is that spot. Looks isn't everything of corse, let's get to the good stuff! We started with scallop and lobster sea food cake. Presentation was beautiful, the taste was great wether you combine all the elements of the dish or eat it separately. I recommend organizing each bit with a little sea food paddy, coleslaw and that sweet tomato based sauce on top. While enjoying the appetizer I washed it down with the cocktail called "French 1759". Extremely refreshing, the mix of Champaign, gin, light simple syrup and lemon was a great combination. Next My wife ordered steak de jour and frites. This is a shoulder cut sliced in strips laid together on one side of the plate coated with a delicious creamy white sauce. The other side of the plate had the mountain of frites. I'm a big fan of ketchup and fries, but the garlic aioli made me completely forget of that red substance. Moving on to my dish, I ordered cassoulet. In addition we ordered a side of mac and cheese. Not the standard cheddar, but swiss. I was a bit afraid of the strong swiss flavor, but my fears were defeated with a great balance of ingredients. The presentation of these dishes were very nice. The cassoulet has a homey feel to it. The entire entree was in a small pot sitting on a plate. It consisted of a rectangle cut of pork belly, duck confit, home made sausage sitting on a bed of beans. Both dishes were completely satisfying! Including the second cocktail I ordered, "French connection". The French connection is stronger than french 1759, it's an even mixer of both cognac and amaretto -- I loved it. So the night couldn't get better, right? Wrong, it got way better. We finished by ordering dessert -- Creme brûlée. This was the cherry on top. Custard was smooth and creamy as it should and the layer of caramelized sugar provided the right crunch it needed. Last but not least, the staff was very nice and outgoing. We did not feel bothered at all and they were always there any second we needed them. We even met the chief/owner to express how happy and satisfied we were because of him and his team. I highly recommend The Peppered Pig to anyone! read more
