Peppercorns Hicksville

Great longstanding Hicksville eatery. Went here for dinner for the first time after living in the area for 30+ years. I can honestly say I understand why this place has been around so long. The establishment itself was amazing. Located right off 107 with plenty of parking. The ambiance and decor were great. It was kind of like mixing an old 1920s style restaurant with a newer mote casual dining experience. I especially loved some of the old pictures of Hicksville on the walls. For starters, we did the baked clams and the fried zucchini flowers. The clams had great flavor and were clearly more than just bread and clam which was a nice change. The zucchini flowers were even better. Fried perfectly and just the right amount of cheese. A nice change from your run of the mill appetizer. For the main, we got chicken cordon bleu, Marinated flat iron steak, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. The sides were good as expected. The chicken had a great breaded crust but was still juicy inside. The ham and cheese inside were bursting with flavor, as was the sauce on the chicken.. The steak was cooked perfectly. Tender and flavorful with a great portion size. My only complaint was that it was a but cold. I'm sure the waiter could have solved this but we decided to just eat. All together, great experience. Will be back here for sure.
