Of course your opinion is welcome. I also agree with most of what you say. In general, I do not think one visit is enough to really evaluate a restaurant ( unless you find a rat in your plate). We are not professional reviewers and this is an informal forum and, IMO, that is as it should be. Although SA Merediths comments were impassioned and correct; I believe I also commented on "not calling each other names" and expressed my dissatisfaction with the lobster roll a few comments before his. Part of the problem is that the old WP's was an outstanding kind of place. From the outside, not much, but the food really was outstanding and clearly "Pepper" and her husband put a lot of work and pride in the place. I believe that a lot of the business was built up by word of mouth which is as it should be. But excellent food and service in a seasonal location does not pay for health care, etc. I truly believe that Pepper will do her best to improve the lobster roll. The other food is still great. As for table service, etc. it really is no biggie for me. I wish things were the way they used to be, but I also wish I were 6 ft. tall....neither of which will happen.
It is unfortunate that you were the victim of peppermania but I think we have all learned something and Pepper's response was as expected.
