Decided to take my roommate out tonight for a Christmas dinner at Sacred Pepper and we both enjoyed the dinner immensely. I have eaten here many times and never have been disappointed. It's the best place around for the ambiance, the awesome wine/cocktails, delicious food, and for their exceptional service staff. My roommate had the Chicken Burrata dinner and he said the chicken was vey juicy and flavorful. And he loved the warm orzo pasta it came with. I had the seasonal Cod dinner and it is already one of my favorites. And it came with cheesy potatoes and green beans, And their bread is another special treat that you cant help yourself to. My server "Adam" was so friendly, attentive, efficient, and he made sure our Christmas dinner was very special and memorable. My roommate was really impressed and can't wait to try more dinner entrees at Sacred Pepper.

Outstanding Dining Experience at Michael’s Grill Last night, my date and I had the pleasure of dining at Michael’s Grill in Tampa, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. We began with the Louisiana shrimp in barbecue sauce as an appetizer, and it set the tone for the evening—flavorful, perfectly prepared, and absolutely delicious. Our drinks were expertly crafted, adding a nice touch of sophistication to the meal. The service was truly top-notch. Our server, Mallory was attentive, professional and friendly, and the general manager personally came over to ensure we were enjoying our meal. This level of care and attention to detail made us feel incredibly welcome and valued. The staff even went above and beyond to help us find a table that suited our preferences—a small gesture that made a big impact. For our main course, we both savored Chef Michael's Filet Mignon ... 6 oz tender Filet grilled medium rare topped with a robust Gorgonzola cheese and finished with a Jack Daniels Whiskey sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetable medley, all of which were cooked to perfection. Each bite was a testament to the quality and expertise Michael’s Grill consistently delivers. To top off the evening, we indulged in the bread pudding with ice cream and caramel-toffee for dessert. Outstanding! It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal—warm, rich, and utterly satisfying. Michael’s Grill is a gem in Tampa, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Exceptional food, impeccable service, and an inviting atmosphere make it a dining experience you won’t want to miss.

We arrived when they first opened, the food was amazing, service was spectacular, I will be back!

We love Hales'! Every meal has been spot-on, and it is hands down the best Asian food in the region. The soup dumplings are a must, but also try the other starters and appetizers. We had tge spicy green beans, and fell in love with the house made spicy sauce.

Kathy was our server as always she is amazing. It was very busy Friday evening , but with open table we had a very short wait...impeccable service, great dinner and a nice meal out.
