Restaurants near University Square

Great first visit! Ambience was chill, unpretentious. Friendly welcome at the door and upon exiting. Settings at the table were clean, uncluttered, simple, yet fashionable. Our server was very responsive, answered all our questions, made good recommendations. Portions for the price favor quality not quantity, flavor and unique presentation. Highly recommend the Vindaloo Pappardelle!

This is a charming restaurant, all the menu item sounded delicious. The appetizers were a fun way to start the evening, the steaks were perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the dessert oh my gosh it was so delicious. This will become a regular spot to dine.

Have loved this restaurant since they opened. Moved 1.5 hrs south so haven’t been in over 7 years - still good! I still miss the pumpernickel bread though… Kayla was our server and she was over the top EXCELLENT!!! We dine out a lot and it’s been along time since we’ve had such a great server. Tonight we had guests with us and they loved it too😃

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!

Food is excellent and thier prices are awesome. Great time was had by all today..
