Great service and ambiance. Drinks are incredible! Bread is warm and fresh. I got the chicken burrata and I would rate it a 4. The chicken was tender but I expected more from the burrata. My husband's burger is pretty good for a restaurant burger. My son's nuggets and fries were light and fluffy. I would give it a 4.5 if I could. Side note- chairs are some of the most comfortable I've ever experienced.

I celebrated my birthday it was amazing. The food, service, and the ambiance is exceptional. Everything looked and tastes delicious. The piano player makes the ambiance top notch. I would recommend this establishment and will be returning for more. Thank you for your excellency.

My guests and I had a very delicious meal! If you want to have the absolute best fried calamari, you need to come here! It never disappoints. I love Oysters Rockefeller as well, but I wasn't as impressed with that here. I had the braised short rib and it was delish! My friend had the lobster and spinach papperdelle and also loved her meal. We were celebrating two birthdays, and our server made it special by bringing them both chocolate cake and whipped cream. The drinks were great, the service was great, the parking was challenging as always!

The food here is very good! The service is fast and professional and the ambiance fits the vibe. The seats are comfy and the drinks are wonderful as well.

First time here... and nicely impressed. It was a surprise birthday dinner put on by a bunch of my neighbors. I ordered the Grouper Picatta, and a Caesar Salad. Creme Brulee for dessert. I did not know they were going to bring me a molten lava cake for my birthday, also. So I got double desserts, yay! Grouper was very good... although missing the buttery, lemony tang I associate with Picatta (at least when I make it). But it was delicious, as was the orzo pasta dish it was served on with asparagus. Desserts were excellent! Service was awesome!

In my book, Sacred Pepper is doing more than a few things right! I have dined in the more intimate but boisterous dining room (a while back when I was pregnant in October 2020) but most recently enjoyed an evening at the bar with a girlfriend. The bar area offers a lively, musical atmosphere, with lots of comfort, and endless pouring of beer, wine, and other libations. The meatballs with ricotta were a delicious appetizer, and the Margherita pizzette was a winner for the price point. My friend enjoyed an expensive steak (presumably filet) with Brussels and something else as a side. I was especially appreciative of the staff who didn't mind that I was uber picky with my wine. The bartender poured out at least one full 9 ounce glass since I was silly enough to order something without sampling it first. She didn't give me a hard time about my change in order based on the taste, and I happily enjoyed the alternative (nicer) red wine that I opted for. The experience at Sacred Pepper was more than memorable so I will definitely be back soon to try more of the menu!

Wonderful place for date night or night with friends. I came here with my Disney run group, so there was six of us total. It was a Tuesday night and our reservation was for 7, although I bet you will still be seated without a reservation. The restaurant is beautiful, every time I come I'm reminded how gorgeous this decor is. We started with the Shishito Peppers (which is a must get) and the Pistachio Crusted Brie. The brie was also very good, but since my husband is allergic to pistachios I'm only able to get this with friends. For my main I got the Short Rib Cavatelli after having food envy when my friend got it last time. I think this is a winner for me, the pasta tastes homemade and I short rib is tender. I brought half of it home and it still tasted great the next day. I also got a side of the corn, which I didn't love as much as I did last time. I think in the future I can pass. Shishito peppers and Short Rib Cavatelli will be my go-to order. I got a dirty martini with vodka for my drink and it was pretty good. I'm not mad about it, but they do have a fun looking drink menu, so I'll consider ordering off the menu next time. For dessert we got chocolate chip cookies. They come with four to a plate. We got two servings, since there was six of us, but they are pretty big cookies. It was a little too sweet for me, so I would probably forgo it. Parking is easy, service is great, this is definitely a solid choice for dinner.
