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.

We love Hales'! Every meal has been spot-on, and it is hands down the best Asian food in the region. The soup dumplings are a must, but also try the other starters and appetizers. We had tge spicy green beans, and fell in love with the house made spicy sauce.
