For tonight's dinner I started with the Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower (fresh-fried cauliflower bites topped with Sriracha aioli and served with cool-herbed ranch dressing, house-made pickled cucumbers) and it was fantastic. For my dinner I had the Pan Seared Grouper Picatta with capers, lemon butter, warm house-made orzo pasta, grilled asparagus and it was delicious/flavorful and one of my favorites. My regular server "Adam" was exceptional, as always, and he is consistently friendly, attentive, patient, accommodating, efficient, and he has made so many wonderful recommendations to me that have all awakened my taste buds. Sacred Pepper is an excellent choice for the ambiance, awesome wine/drink selections, amazing and delicious food selections, soothing after dinner drinks, and mouthwatering desserts. And the service staff are all so friendly and welcoming. it's a "WIN" for me every single time I eat there!

I love this place. The sushi is fantastic, and the staff is friendly and professional. The ambiance is great for gathering with friends and enjoying a conversation without screaming over music or loud customers. The decor is intimate yet homey and relaxing.

We had a large group of family members (9 adults) plus a young child. I was worried that our group would be lost in such a busy place. However we couldn’t have been happier with the food and the service. The food came out hot and perfectly cooked, and all at the same time. Our team of two waiters were friendly and efficient, checking on us regularly. Highly recommended!
