    Beginning with the less than joyful server, drinks were ok. Food was horrible. I ordered matzah soup. The chicken tasted rancid, one matzah that fell apart. The frenchie burger was smothered with what tasted like canned “gravy” salmon was undercooked with 4 green beans . Expensive for less than average food.

    I love Sacred Beast. We all ordered simple meals (lox and rye toast, gnocchi, and a poached pear salad) and Sacred Beast made them special.

    Had the risotto balls and the steak tartare—both were very good. Also had the almond salad , which was extra good with a jammy egg. Our server was great

    Great risotto truffle fried balls! Awesome hashbrowns! Should have mentioned on menu that dirty french burger has 2 sliders instead of a juicy burger. The sliders were very dry and little flavor. For $20 you can use wagyu sliders and i would take the 45 min trip often.

    Sacred Beast Diner exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing. Started with fried riscotto balls for an appetizer, followed by the Grouper Ruben Sandwich with fresh cut fries. It was the star of the meal ! The vibe was definitely chill which made for an enjoyable date night !!
