According to the website, Le Peep describes itself as…Fresh. Simple. Elegant. Inviting.

No. No. No. Definitely no.

We walked into a mostly empty restaurant, yet still for some reason got seated in the way far back corner of the place. No people. No window to gaze out. Just a rather bad wall mural as far as i can recall. It was anything but warm and inviting like their website said. I almost felt like we were being hidden back there for some reason. The lighting was horrible. The decor was horrible. And as i had suspected by this point, the food was as well. The menu had some promising possibilities. I’m a sucker for a skillet, and i’m a sucker for chorizo, so the desperado skillet was an easy decision for me. Potatoes, chorizo, green chiles and onions all covered in homemade salsa capped with a cheese combo and 2 eggs, served with an english muffin. Right up my alley. Those are some big flavors, or they should be. Somehow they managed to successfully suck out the majority of the flavor before serving it to me. How could a skillet with all those normally delicious things be bland? I have no idea, but they succeeded. What i was hoping would be a sure thing, fell far below my expectations.

Julie went with the White Lightning omelet. An egg white omelet with diced lean chicken, green chiles, onions and diced tomatoes, covered with a cheese combo and sliced avocados. If my meal was bland, there’s no way hers could have been much better. 

Would i go back? Le no.
