Stone Pepper's Grill Bar

We went for a Girls' Night Out, a party of 6.  

Right away we noticed how unfriendly our waitress was, never smiled, didn't offer us specials, seemed like we were a bother to her.  We ordered appetizers, and they were really great - came out fast, very delicious.

When our entrees arrived, one person from our party didn't get hers, another was missing oil and vinegar for her salad, my chili was stone-cold. The waitress didn't come back for more than 10 minutes, to the point that one woman from our party went to find the manager.  He went to check on it and the waitress came back to ask if she'd ordered a half or full portion, but told us that it was made already.  Another almost 10 minutes later, she returned with the entree, but not the oil & vinegar.  

We didn't see our waitress again for more than 1/2 hour.  She never came to check on drink refills or anything.  When we did find her and ask for our checks, two came back wrong.

The food was hit-or-miss, some was great, some average, but the service was horrible.  We won't be back.

I've been to Stone Peppers on a number of occasions and overall, the food an service have been good in the restaurant.  They have a large selection of pizzas, sandwiches and salads that all have fresh, quality ingredients, and it is a relaxed atmosphere.  

My review would be better overall, but the bar has never been a good experience for me.  On one occasion, I went with a friend during a Penguins playoff game.  It was crowded, but not excessively so.  Since no tables at the bar were available and all the stools were taken, we stood near the bar and waited.  It was next to impossible to get any of the bartenders to respond to order drinks.  We ran into some other friends who were sitting at the bar and had requested more beers and had been waiting for 20 minutes for their drinks.  I had another similar experience when the bar was not crowded; the bartenders just seem to not be interested in serving customers.  In both cases it seemed like they were more interested in talking to their friends or flirting with regulars.  

I'll go back for the restaurant, but never again for the bar.

Good food and good service... nothing too memorable.
