Very disapointed. Our food was day old, cold. Wilty small salad. Old dried bread basket with bread sticks and dried up toast. We used to go here years ago and loved it. Had not been in many years, invited another couple. UGH Not sure why the wait to get a table of 1hr. Do not reccomend . Waitress was nice. Not her fault.

Food was good and service excellent. Our wait person was a bit overworked but did good by us. Wanted to sit outside and was willing to wait. Quoted 30 min wait but was give a no show slot after about 15 min. Was busy for a Tuesday dinner at 6:30 pm.

I brought my dad here as a thank you, knowing that he and my mom used to frequent the Walled Lake location before it burned down. He had no idea that Pepino's rebuilt in Sylvan lake and was thrilled when I invited him to meet me for dinner. We came on a weeknight and met at 530. There were a couple seated tables inside and a couple out on the patio. Our hostess sat us near the kitchen and our server came straight away for a drink order. They have a few reds, a few whites and a few sparkling wine selections and a full bar. From what I've been told their pours are always favorable and while they may not get into anything craft cocktail they make a really strong mixed drink. It seems like one of the things they're known for. We forewent an app since they were out of calamari the night we came but they brought their bean salad and bread basket. That was a nice treat, a simple but well executed mix of beans and dressing and a nice assortment of bread and butter. For dinner my dad had been raving that he and my mom always always got the trout so I had to give it a try. My dad ordered the same. The trout came out fileted and lightly battered and what I'd say was pan fried and then fired under a broiler to get the top exquisitely browned and crisp. I ordered Lyonnaise potatoes a la carte to round out the dish which were also simple but fantastic. We skipped dessert having had a filling meal. Service was top notch, friendly and quick. I'm looking forward to going back for the Roadhouse frog legs and the strip steak which I have on good authority is a local favorite. This is a throwback and it has a loyal following. As we were tabbing out it started to fill up and as I was driving away droves were descending on Pepino's. It's best to come a little early I'd suggest.

The people at Pepino's are the best!!! Love the incredible ribs, fried shrimp, grilled trout, amazing filet and the delicious creamy garlic ranch dressing.

The food and the service were good, but the ambient feels a little bit too closed.

Howard Blindman

The best trout.

We've been going to Pepinos for years. Alway consistent. Nothing too trendy, just good food, nice portions. Great garlic parmeson bread and Joe Muer beans to start. Dinners come with a salad or soup and a starch. Cocktails are generous.
