    We had a wonderful dining experience this evening at Sacred Pepper. Busy evening and we were seated in the Wine Room which is just off to the right of the Hostess station. Big comfy chairs and a roomy environment. The noise level was low considering this room is just before the lounge area when a duo was performing. The service was excellent our waiter was friendly, very pleasant, attentive but yet not intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious from appetizer to dessert. Our favorite cocktails were crafted very well with a water glass that was never empty.

    Our wait staff was great. Savana was excellent! Good recommendations, friendly and attentive! We have a family member who eats vegetarian and he loved the stuffed portobello. Our meals were delicious. Outdoor ambience was perfect. Could not have been better. Shared ice cream dessert of coconut and espresso chocolate was wonderful! Thank you for such a lovely holiday dining experience!

    Had a great anniversary dinner and CW's. They had live music and overall it's a very subtle, ambient, classy mood. Nick was our server, and he gave great dinner suggestions and made sure our water's were never more than half empty. Drinks are pretty fairly priced, and the food is expensive, however it's worth it as everything we ate was delicious. I highly recommend the ribeye steak sandwich!

    The Rooster and the Till is an absolute gem. Small and intimate neighborhood vibe. The food is eclectic and excellently prepared. Service was outstanding as well. Our goal was to find a restaurant that steps well outside the typical American fare… The Rooster and the Till really hit the mark.
