    Great food and service! The cocktails need a little bit more love and creativity. The noise level is deafening at times because of the open loft space. Otherwise great place to gather and eat

    Last night was my 28th dinner at Sacred Pepper since July. I have never had a bad experience yet and why I keep coming back. It’s my favorite restaurant in the Tampa area. The best place for awesome selections of wine/cocktails, shareable plates, dinner entrees, after dinner drinks, and some delicious desserts. And everything is “That Good”. Last night I let my regular server “Adam” pick out my wine and my dinner entrée since he always makes excellent recommendations to me. The wine choice was phenomenal and Sacred Pepper has an awesome selection of wines to choose from. He then brought me the Caramelized Brussels Sprouts w/Applewood bacon & a balsamic glaze that are so good and plenty to share. For my dinner entrée, he chose the Cod dinner which came with sliced cheesy potatoes and green beans. It was very filling and flavorful and my new favorite. Thank You “Adam” for making all my dinners at Sacred Pepper so enjoyable and memorable. Servers are a dime a dozen, but great servers are rare, and you are the “Best”. Sacred Pepper does have an exceptional service staff, and all are very friendly, efficient, attentive, knowledgeable, and very welcoming.
