About The Sacred Pepper

The Sacred Pepper offers a memorable dining experience with outstanding dishes like swordfish, in-house made pasta with shrimp, and triple tail fish, which is perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The restaurant features a vibrant and comfortable atmosphere with a bustling bar area where live music adds to the chill vibes, making it perfect for date nights or special occasions. The menu includes appetizers such as pistachio fried Gouda, highly recommended, and crab cakes that are great, alongside shishito peppers, a favorite among guests. Main courses like fillet mignon with white mac and cheese and ribeye are available, though some dishes may be overcooked or lack seasoning. Desserts such as cookies are a highlight, while chocolate cake tends to be dense. The chocolate chip cookies are said to be the best outside of homemade. The drink selection is excellent, complementing the well-presented food. Attentive and pleasant service enhances the overall experience, with staff like Gracie receiving specific praise for her friendliness. The restaurant is a popular spot for celebrating milestones like birthdays and Father’s Day, making it a Carrollwood gem worth returning to. While the food is good and the atmosphere is excellent, some dishes may not be life-changing, but the quality and presentation are consistently high. Chef James is known throughout Tampa and does not disappoint, so making a reservation is a good idea.
