Just got back from dinner at Peppers. The restaurant was very nice. I've heard that it was remodeled somewhat recently, and it looks very nice inside. The whole place is non-smoking, which made me very happy. It just makes the whole experience more enjoyable when you don't have cigarette smoke in your face. I went with my boyfriend, and we shared a Greek Salad as a starter. The salad was delicious! It had lettuce, tomato, cucumber, palm hearts, artichoke, pepperoncinis, kalamata olives, and a very generous helping of feta cheese. It was really delicious - I would definitely recommend it. For the entrees, I had the butternut squash & ricotta cheese ravioli. I don't like gorgonzola cheese, so I asked for it without the gorgonzola. The ravioli was good, and I thought the sage added a really nice flavor to the dish. The food was a bit cold, however, but the waiter took it to be reheated and it was great after that :) Our waiter was very nice - very attentive, and I would even say eloquent. My boyfriend ordered the crabmeat stuffed shrimp. He really enjoyed it! He said the sweetness of the crab was perfect with the saltiness of the shrimp. The lemon sauce was really good, and although he did enjoy the risotto, he thought it was out of place with the dish as a whole. He says he would definitely recommend the dish. For dessert, we shared the creme brulee. It was really creamy and yummy. I loved the caramelized sugar on top. That was done perfectly. My only complaint would be that it was a bit cold for my taste. But as far as flavor, it was really delicious. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back to Peppers in the future.

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention, the live music was really nice during our dinner as well. :)
