Being the only game in the neighborhood means a responsibility to cater to everyone's tastes. Fletcher enlisted veteran executive chef Tracy Rosa to create an eclectic menu sure to please the most finicky eater. The Pepper Mill's food is on the upscale side, but the price is not. Dinner begins with an appetizer that is made fresh, not simply thawed from the freezer and tossed into the deep fryer. You're getting a real cheese.
Entrees are wide-ranging in taste and origin.
Of course, America is well represented at The Pepper Mill with several kinds of sizzling steaks, Cajun dishes and New England seafood. So far, lunch has been very busy for Fletcher and Rosa. A crowded dining room coupled with dozens of carry-out orders keeps the place jumping. At first glance, the lunch menu seems standard with plenty of soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers, but once the food is brought to the table, Rosa's mission of more food for the buck is evident. Since The Pepper Mill has been open for such a short time and has such a diverse menu, Rosa has not seen any dishes that outsell the rest, but he has seen one trend among his customers.
