We love this restaurant for its great location and delicious food. But on Saturday night it was slammed due to the FCC game, making it incredibly loud inside - difficult to have a conversation - and service was SLOW.

Met friends for dinner. We raved about Sacred Beast having been several times and our friends had never been. The server was nice but barely around. The Food took an extremely long time. And there was not acknowledgement or check ins or explanations. Disappointing as we also had a commitment after. Made the reservation giving ourselves 1 1/2 hours for dinner and we had to pack a lot of it up.

This was a very disappointing dinner after we had heard many good things from our friends. First we were seated in the table furthest way from anyone with very little ambience. Secondly, I took 5 to 10 minutes for our waitress to come over and introduce herself. Then after we ordered an appetizer, and we got it about 10 minutes later, some other person, just put it on the table and walked away without giving us any plates. As he was walking away, I asked for some plates, and he proceeded to enter in another order on the computer. After three minutes, I got up and went to the bar. I got my own plates. Our meals were OK but I have even put in a special request that we were celebrating two graduations at dinner. The waitress came over with our bill and asked if we wanted anything else and then just left them on the table for us to pay. I would say this was not the best use of our dining Dollars.

All of our meals were delicious except for the chicken that was added to my wedge salad. It appeared to be thigh meat that was baked. Little flavor and weird texture. The mahi, burger, and corned beef hash were fantastic!

Entrees were good, but both my wife and I were sick after we came home and the only thing we both had was the salads. The waiter ignored both of us throughout dinner and I had a small soda which was not refilled. It was good that he left a bottle of water so we could refill the 4 oz water glasses ourselves. It took an extra long time to get our check and when we got it he disappeared for awhile before he picked it up. (No, it wasn't busy).

The food was amazing as always! We have always had great service but this particular time is was not good. The waiter forgot our drinks. We got the appetizers before we got our cocktails. Then he forgot to enter a couple of drinks at the end of dinner and just brought our checks. It won’t stop me from going back though because the food and atmosphere are awesome!

I was a little disappointed. Had wanted to eat here for a while but left feeling MEH. The drinks and appetizers were wonderful!!! The service was great. The dinner food was...average. They were out of salmon. The gnocchi seemed to be dry like it was reheated and the burgers were just okay. It was a Sunday evening so maybe just an off night but definitely not what I was expecting.

I was excited to try this restaurant but unfortunately the service wasn't great. It felt like we were a bother to our waiter. I get people have off days or I may have misinterpreted his demeanor, so I was quick to dismiss it. But after our food was delivered to the table we never saw him again. We waited over 30 minutes and then I finally had to inform other wait staff. This is not a restaurant I would recommend. I hope others had a better experience than me.

I love the cool vibe at sacred beast. There’s always a wide range of people there from old to young and all styles. There are a wide range of foods to choose from, and many of them. Remind me of some thing you’d get at your grandmas house. The lemon ricotta pancakes are to die for! Sometimes I get some to take home for the next day. The deviled eggs are also very delicious as is the matzoh ball soup.
