We had TOMMY as our waiter. He has one of the best personalities my family and I have ever seen. He took the time to personally sing to my partner for his birthday that means a lot. Tommy had to leave and we had another great experience with our waitress Brooklyn. Brooklyn was such an amazing young lady, she made sure we didn’t need anything and didn’t have a problem just allowing us to rip and run her. What amazing group of people. The food was amazing. We left happy.

4.5 Stars This spot hits the mark for its category. The food was genuinely delicious — a standout being the deviled eggs, which were easily some of the best I’ve had. Service was solid and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere had a very cool, laid-back vibe that elevated the whole experience. Definitely a place worth returning to.

Great restaurant! From the atmosphere to the great service and great food! Kaitlin was an especially terrific service. Friendly, attentive, and professional. See pics for food recommendations. The only dish that was not great was the beef tartare. Everything else was outstanding! The deviled eggs and duck breast salad were especially good.

Awesome place! The water in chilled jugs on the table to begin with down to the atmosphere was perfect. Covered patio was wonderful. Our server was attentive and our food was amazing. We had the diner breakfast and the lemon ricotta pancakes was the perfect ending to the meal. To start the devils eggs had just right amount of spiciness and kick at the end. The beast burger was the best burger I've ever had. Will definitely be back again.

Highly creative chef and tasty food. Loved the dirty French burger which was soaking in french onion soup. Our waitress was super friendly and great service. Among the pricey restaurants nearby this place was reasonable.

Stopped by Sacred Beast for Sunday brunch without a reservation and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they were able to seat us. We started with mimosas, which were perfectly refreshing, and then ordered the Neckbone Gravy Hashbrown dish. The serving size was just right, and the flavors were spot on. Our server was thoughtful and recommended adding a side of toast to soak up the rich gravy—a great suggestion that elevated the dish. Service was friendly and efficient, making for an overall enjoyable experience. However, one drawback was the 3% processing fee for credit cards, which felt a bit off-putting. In an era where cashless payments are the norm (and often encouraged for efficiency and safety), it seemed unnecessary. That aside, the food and service were excellent, and I’d gladly return—just with a heads-up about the fee.

Great place to eat in Cincinnati. Parking is close and the area has an upbeat feel (at least the day we visited). The food is fantastic, we didn't try the drinks but they looked good. The matzah ball soup was the best I have ever had (yes, better than a delicatessen in New York City). The appetizers were great along with sandwiches and salad. Everything we had I would easily order again.
