We were expecting more for the money, but it was overall acceptable. That said, for the same money there are other places I would go before returning to Piperade.

This is a most agreeable venue for dining with small groups of special friends. The waiting staff are well informed of menu selections and wine accompaniments. The staff are friendly and efficient. Good value for money.

I had a business lunch with 5 people. Great service even at the peak of the lunch rush! Food was well prepared, and the menu selection was fun & interesting! The noise was a little 'much', but I would think a late lunch hour would be quieter. I will be back.

This is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. There is not an area where they don't excel. Great care is taken to insure the best dining experience and the chef making personal contact with guests creates an atmosphere which makes the diner feel he is a guest at the chef's home.
