  • Very disappointed of the quality of food and service. I have been to Don Pepe numerous time, I enjoyed the food and was happy with the service. but last time on May 16, 2013, the food and service didn't seem the same. Old bread served. I ordered the broiled seafood combination that was on special. The combination platter consisted of 4 baby scallops, 4 clams, 6 mussels, few medium shrimps, a pound and quarter lobster were all over cooked.

  • Super red sauce seafood chowder that is like Manhattan Clam Chowder on steroids. Go at lunch time & you can get away under $20 if you just order water with the meal.

  • First it should be clarified that Don Pepe's II located in Pine Brook(the original Don Pepe is in Newark)&Don Pepe's Steakhouse are two seperate places. Speaking on the Don Pepe's II, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal & it is one of the best deals around. Steaks are huge & not top quality but very good. The overall menu is nothing fancy but good. The decor is simple & tired but the service is very good. Fun spot but always a wait on the weekends.
