BUT FOOD CAN’T COMPETE

FEPPI’S HAS enjoyed one
of the North Shore’s
premier seaside locations for
the past 22 years.

From any of its 115 seats,
patrons can view the bustle of
Vancouver harbor traffic and the
glow of city lights from serene and
safe West Vancouver shores.

Perhaps the restaurant’s idyllic
location has lulled Peppi’s into cu-
linary complacency or  erhaps
management is intent on assuring
food dues not compete with view.

Whatever the reason, Peppi’s

seems content to churn out Italian
dishes that are innocuous and
average.

Most appetizers are about $5,
and pastas, which come in seven

hopping

variations, run from $7.25 to
$8.95.

The restaurant’s prices are rea-
sonable. The most expensive entree
is Scampi Al Forno ($15.95).

Other entrees range from $11 to
$13.

From its elegant exterior and
matchless locale, Peppi’s might
fool the uninitiated into assuming
it to be a restaurant of high brow
sensibilities,

Peppi’s, however, is anything
but.

Atmosphere, from the ceiling
laden with empty Chianti bottles to
the red gingham table cloths to
pianist Al Carmichael rattling off
spirited renditions of Flight of the
Bumble Bee, is extremely informal.

Food served is plain and, in
some cases, a trifle dull.

An Antipasto Assortito ($5.25)
that my wife and | sampled in-
cluded a mound of shredded and
marinated carrots, (wo slices of
cheese, a wedge of cantaloupe and
a large heap of marinated
mushroom caps.

Unfortunately, the meat selec-
tion was a trifle thin with only a
single slice of salami and another
of proscuitto ham.

But, overall, the plate was very
pleasant.

We followed the antipasto with
a Gamberi Alla Marinara (prawns
sauteed in tomato sauce for
$11.75) and a Scaloppine A Mar-
sala (veal in a Marsala wine sauce
$12.50).

Presentation of both was stark,
with eye appeal somewhat dreary.

Look at our new Broiler Bar menu and you'll
see one classic taste after another. There's our
savoury line-up of entrées, steaks and burgers
broiled open-flame over mesquite charcoal.
Plus appetizers, seafood, pastas and our invit-
ing Lunch Classics too.

The Broiler Bar offers a fine dining experience
in a relaxed, casual setting, and incredible

value.

Make a reservation or just drop by for great
food with a surprising twist of tastes.
