Pepper’s Island receives tons of 5-star reviews
Tim B wrote after its soft opening weekend, “The food is amazing…it has wonderful flavor and spice and the portions are perfect. The ambiance of the place is very unique and relaxing. It’s located in a historic building, has a hand-painted Trinidad-themed mural on the wall, great music playing, and reminds me of the islands.” Tim continues, “all of the staff I encountered on both my first and second visit were extremely friendly and helpful, and you could sense their enthusiasm. I highly recommend this spot, and I cannot wait to try more of the delicious items they have to offer.”
5-star reviews seemed to have poured in over the weekend celebrating the friendliness of staff, the design of the restaurant, and of course the roti.
