    Tonight was my 40th dinner at Sacred Pepper in the last 7 months and it was just PERFECT as all the others have been. After enjoying a glass of one of their fine wines, I started with the Buffalo Cauliflower which is fresh-fried cauliflower bites topped with Sriracha aioli and served with cool-herbed ranch dressing, house-made pickled cucumbers. And plenty to share. For my entrée I had the Blackened Tenderloin Steak Bites with crispy polenta, herb horseradish sauce, and house-made marinara sauce. I added 2 sides, the vegetable medley and the Fresh Tillamook Cheddar Creamed Corn w/Applewood bacon. It was all cooked perfectly and very flavorful and delicious, a true favorite of mine. The service staff at Sacred Pepper is the BEST around and all are very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. And my regular server “Adam” is the best server I have ever had, and he always makes sure my dinner experiences are very special and memorable! Sacred Pepper is my favorite restaurant in the Tampa Area.

    We were celebrating my son’s birthday and the entire staff made him feel special. The food and drinks were all amazing and the price was reasonable. Our chef was super funny and cooked our food to perfection. From the time we arrived until the time we left, we were pleased with the atmosphere, the drinks, the efficiency of the staff and most importantly the deliciousness of the food.
