The food was delicious, the wines were great, and the prices were reasonable! I really enjoyed the gluten-free pizza and the prosciutto-wrapped dates. I'll definitely have to try more appetizers next time!

Nice ambiance and very nice owner but I must leave my honest review, the food wasn’t bad, but it also was evidently not the most authentic flavour and texture. I ordered gluten free pad Thai (it’s nice they have the option) but I must say it tasted kinda like the ketchup version of pad Thai. Pad Thai is made with low cost ingredients so I just can’t justify $18 for a single person portion of pad Thai that isn’t better than thai express. I would definitely be open to trying more on the menu like a curry but this restaurant seems to be serving a westernized version of Thai food—serving personal portions in an “order at the cash register” fashion but sold for the higher price of the real deal. You even have to go pick up your own order. A very strange modern restaurant concept that seems to justify a higher price with less effort. I will say, it is beautifully decorated, and it may be perfectly suited for the Waterloo resident unfamiliar with the style of cuisine.

Love this place! Food was amazing, our server was great and the vibe was lovely! I originally ordered the gluten free bbq chicken pizza and the server informed me that the bbq sauce had gluten which I really appreciated and they were quick to offer me up a new solution! It ended up being delicious! My boyfriend had the chicken and waffles and was raving about it for the next couple of days. 100% recommend this place for a candle lit date night or a double date!

The breakfast buffet, food, and variety of options were amazing! The head chef and waiting staff catered to my food allergies and always went out of their way to ensure everything was gluten-free and perfect! Shout out to Erika and Navi, in particular, for their friendly and impeccable service! Thanks for making my experience wonderful!

Genuinely horrible pizza. It's like Pepi went one by one through the ingredients to optimize how terrible each one could be. Terrible dough, no gluten structure, awful texture, no flavour. Ketchup like sauce with way too much sugar. Rubbery cheese. Suspect tasting pepperoni. Pepi has created an ensemble of flavours and textures that makes you question pizza itself (in a bad way). Would give 0/5 if I could. I hear the munchie subs are good though.
