The Aperture, the first full-scale restaurant project from Chef Jordan Anthony-Brown. The menu reflects the concept of Mediterranean mezze style dining, consisting of many small plates, rustic in nature and reflective of seasonality and creates a natural progression and flow for the dining experience. The Aperture’s menu reflects three fundamental tenets: intention, balance, and focus. The menu - and its individual dishes - are approached with the objective of putting critical thought into every component, eliminating the extraneous, and ensuring a natural flow across the menu. The culinary program is heavily influenced by the cuisine of the broader Mediterranean region and the simple, seasonal cooking of Southern France, Italy, Greece, and the Levant.Our menu changes often and with the seasons. You can always find our current menu on our website www.theaperturecinci.com.

    This was not our first trip to Pepp & Dolores, and they never disappoint. As always, we started with the whipped ricotta, and it was as tasty as ever. We followed that with the fried artichokes and the gem salad, and both were delicious. We chose the Limone on our own, and our server made two other outstanding recommendations of the Funghi pasta and the Butternut Squash pasta. The amazing food and service always keeps us coming back!

    Start to finish we had an outstanding experience! We were greeted by very friendly staff when we arrived early for our reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. When we were sat, our server, Cameron, introduced himself along with several support staff. They we're all very helpful throughout our meal taking excellent care of us. Of course, the food was outstanding and we were pleasantly surprised that when we wanted to split anything that they did that for us in the kitchen and the split portions were quite large. We ended up taking home quite a lot for a second meal at home which was just as great the second time around. My husband's boneless ribeye was the star of the meal - unbelievably delicious! I had the salmon which was cooked just like I like it - medium rare. The potatoes Anna was a great side dish along with the brussel sprouts. For dessert we went with the standard butter pie ala mode and finished every bite - yummy! 5 Stars from us from beginning to end!
