    Gnocchi didn’t have much flavor. Everything else was great.

    I witnessed the owner disagree with a member of my party and then completely mishandle the situation, including foul language to address us. The staff did a great job, but the owner threw them under the bus. Thoroughly unimpressed by him. We won’t be back.

    It was a lovely day. The gentleman was very polite, and the option for indoor or outdoor was perfect. They even checked if we still wanted to be outside as it was unusually chilly.

    Sacred Beast was a letdown for Mother's Day brunch. While it appeared in my search, there was nothing special for the occasion, no special drink or menu item, not even a flower. My corned beef hash was significantly burnt, and the waiter didn't check back, so I had to eat what I could since we were short on time. My wife’s gnocchi was not terrible but pretty bland, and the unburnt portion of my hash wasn't flavorful either. I can’t believe that the expediter would send out such an obviously burned dish, especially given the restaurant wasn't that crowded. It wasn't the special brunch we hoped for.

    We had our Mother’s Day brunch there and the food was phenomenal. We had the Lobster sauce French fries, diner breakfast with lemon ricotta pancakes, hash browns, and fried mortadella. All items were scrumptious and we shared among our party of five. Plenty of food for all and we were more than happy with our experience. Highly recommend.

    Food is always outstanding at Sacred Beast. Diner Breakfast is the best. Noise level is a bit loud for me, but that didn’t hurt the experience much. My preamp is a C32. Cheers to McIntosh. Will be back!

    The drinks and food were good; what made for a pleasant evening was our waitress. What made for unpleasant evening was the stench of marijuana smoke and the blasting radios of passing cars. If I went back, I would definitely eat inside, even if the weather were lovely.
