Yesterday was my third visit to Pink Pepper and while it deserves praise in many respects, there is definite room for improvement.  My first impression of the restaurant was a dinner experience that went off with out a hitch.\n\nThe second time I went, we ended up choosing to go somewhere else.  Despite arriving at 5:15p for dinner, the doors remained locked with no one to be found (advertised open  for dinner at 4:30p).  I've noticed this seems to be a perpetual problem here, because when I arrived for lunch at 11:00a yesterday, the doors were similarly locked.  I decided to wait to see how long it would take and sadly, no one appeared at the doors until almost 11:20a.\n\nI was perhaps more disappointed by the discovery that the buffet is the only option for lunch.  Even if you want to order an entr\u00e9e from the menu, you cannot.\n\nThat said, there is no denying the quality of the food.  The buffet was fantastic and the crispy chicken in cream sauce (the dish I would have ordered, given the opportunity) is nothing short of \""to die for\"".  Coupled with the fantastic service I can always expect once I'm actually seated, I am certain I will be back.
