    The staff seated me really quickly. Even though I was a little early. They also accommodated me when I didn’t like the original seat they gave me. The restaurant is a little loud, but if you sit outside, you can have a great conversation.

    Clean, sheek restaurant with friendly staff. First visit here. Thought it would be more of Mediterranean type food. Food service was fast and very tasty that we chose in limited menu ( which we like ). I had GF flank steak while my husband had the wagu steak and we shared sides of potatoes and carrots. It’s a la cart. A little pricey, but do recommend this place.

    Last night was my 6th month anniversary of eating at Sacred Pepper and after 33 dinners there it's still my favorite restaurant. The ambiance/decor. wine/drinks, excellent menu selections, and the exceptional service staff make it not just a dinner but a very special "dining experience" on every visit. Besides their delicious daily specials their "Sacred Sunday" sharing menu and their 3- course "Ciao Monday" menu are both exceptional values for the quality and quantity of food served. Last night I started with the Crab & Corn chowder and for dinner it was the Tenderloin Steak Bites that comes with a crispy polenta. And as an entree you get to choose 2 sides from wonderful selections. Everything was perfect and my regular server "Adam" was awesome as always!

    We had an incredible experience celebrating our wedding anniversary here! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly special, even surprising us with a thoughtful handwritten note. The food was absolutely fantastic, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes, especially since I had expected smaller servings. Every detail was carefully attended to, making it the perfect setting for a special occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate in style!

    We had an amazing experience here on Friday Sept 13. We arrived a little later than our reservation but they accommodated us with no problem. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered to gyro platters and it came with salad that was so big I almost got full just off of that. Our food also came with yummy Greek fries. I had so much food left over I was able to take it to work the next day. I use to come here all the time when I was younger so I’m glad our experience was just as good as it use to be. We will be back!
