Loved the cocktails, especially the old fashion. The small plates were really good as well. The carrots and brussel sprouts really stood out

We had not been to Epping's since before the pandemic, but if definitely did not disappoint! Outstanding cocktails ( what was that amazing gin cocktail with a grey/violet color? Divine!), small plates (mushroom bruschetta, oh my, and roasted carrots that cannot be missed), large plates and desert! Everything was perfect and much more reasonable than many places we tend to go when we are in town. Epping's does it right!

I found the food and prices very good! However, a few things ready got in my nerves. I sat at the bar Sunday brunch. When all the seats were taken extra guests were allowed to stand behind you to wait for a seat to open up. I had two people standing behind me nearly the whole time. It was uncomfortableble , distracting and made me feel rushed. Then sitting at the very end seat I had to endure a server drying the silverware and THROWING it on a tray making a huge distracting noise .Not sure I will return.

Happy coincidence my wife saw this place across our destination. We absolutely loved our experience here. From the ambiance to the food and service. Everything was exceptional. Krystle was such a great server. We obviously enjoyed their happy hour and excellent wine selection. The special of the night was delicious. And management handled an issue that exceeded our expectations. We will be back to enjoy more of their menu.

Eppings is one of favorite spots in town; however, they have a problem. There is only one poor soul who makes ALL the drinks for the restaurant. Service, therefore, is always very slow when drink orders are given unless ordering wine by the glass. Last night the drinks didn't come forever and the food was excruciatingly slow. There was a large private party upstairs and the restaurant had not allowed for the extra bodies. Great restaurant, wonderful addition to the community. Hire some more folks to allow for better service.

We have been to Eppings many times after work l, but this was our first brunch. Everything was fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. Our waitress even reseated us with no problems when my handicapped mom couldn't get into a high top chair. The staff here is always so accommodating and the food so tasty.

I ordered their $15 bruch special, it was called korean dish.To be honest, it was NOT food as a special. Extremely simple plain white rice and two sunny side up eggs on top of it. That was it!! Tiny amount of roasted seaweed was on the corner of dish. People looked at my dish and said “ so glad they didn’t order it”. There was no sauce, no veggies or anything like that. Simply speechless and shocked!I am a Korean-American. I know how to cook and what is real korean food or not. I can’t believe the quality of that dish and they named it as a SPECIAL Korean dish!!I have been loving Eppings small dish foods. Like Tapas. Some of them are twisted Japanese and Korean styles. Love them all but today for Brunch, I felt like I was ripped off.I took 11 yoga teachers as a group. Service was ridiculously slow, coffees were not hot enough. Our reservation was 12:15pm but one of teacher had gotten her food around 1:45ish. So many people and so crowded. People are lined up in front of the restrooms. If they are not able to control that many people at the same time, they should cut the reservation. Whole experience was so bad and unprofessional!

Tonight I was served by Zac Otis who was a phenomenal and attentive server to me and others I observed him working hard for. I worried when he seated a large table that it would take attention away, however he balanced the pressure perfectly and never made me feel forgotten! He is clearly a dedicated and experienced server, and I wish that I could have this kind of service everywhere I go!

The manager is a gem, warm, friendly and just a lovely individual. The restaurant is beautiful with comfortable seating and an upscale feel. The food was just mediocre with the exception of eggs poached to perfection for my Benedict. We were served lukewarm coffee, despite requesting an increase in temperature for the refills. Overall, a nice experience with a few issues.

What a wonderful meal. Loved everything about the meal, the service, and the drinks. Wasn't super noisy, but could do with more acoustic muffling. Or maybe I'm just getting old :)

Excellent food and service. Love this restaurant but if you don't make a reservation ( even for the bar seats) you are out of luck. Happy hour prices and classy atmosphere bring in the crowds !

Always fantastic on every level. The pretzels with beer cheese is an amazing appetizer(which they all are) but the pretzels are baked fresh in the bakery. I had the Eppings Chopped salad with salmon and it is always perfect. The ambiance and service are top notch.
