1. Appetizers A. The pistachio fried Gouda - amazing and it’s a must have. B. Meatballs- texture was ok but it needed salt, garlic and pepper. Was missing seasoning. C. Crab cakes - were great
2. Main course A. Fillet mignon and white Mac and cheese. It was good but not amazing. The pasta was over cooked B. Ribeye - it was average C. Mafaldine Pedto basil with chicken. Pasta was over cooked. The chicken needed a bit more seasoning. The basil pesto was ok (average)
3. Desserts A. Cookies - Amazing B. Chocolate cake.. sponge was too dense (overworked batter) the ganache layers were too thick not soft or silky.
4. Drinks- all of what we ordered was amazing
In general the food was ok. Nothing that would change your life. It was very well presented but flavor wise ?♂️. We still ate it all as we paid for it.
The service and the staff was great. Very attentive and pleasant. It’s a great place for a few drinks and appetizers. But if you want amazing life changing food it is not.

Party of 6 couldn't get a reservation later than 5:15pm on a Friday night. Nice interior with comfy chairs and live music. Excellent service. Food and desserts were good, but filet and chicken parm not as good as some local restaurants. Berry shortcake good. Sourdough bread good. Nice experience.

After several great visits , today will be our last! it started well however I order a steak and asked specifically about the temperature and if they could do it well and no pink where the waitress assured me they could. When the meal came the steak was medium rare, i declined for them to recook as with steak recooking for the price wasnt worth it.It waa late already and I asked what could be done quickly and there wasn’t an option other than salad provided . A gentleman came over with no introduction and said to cook it well it needed to be butterflied which should have been done in the first place. They attempted to remake with the time constraints out table had and came back with a steal tht was clearly a different cut and micowaved ( have you ever got a well done steak in less than 7 minutes ?) the gentleman came back and apparently he is the general manager . I declined the remake and he offered dessert on the house to which he never gave a menu or followed up with the offer. We then asked for the check and left. They did take off the steak that wasnt touched or eated as if that was a favor. All in the service and food has gone down hill.
Waitress wasn’t attentive, had to stop her several time for our wine and waters to be refilled. We asked for items when we ordered our food and they didn’t come out with the food. Fries were cold and burger was still raw. The only good things were the bread and pistachio crusted brie. Music is way too loud and will not be back. This place is just lipstick on a pig.

My family came to celebrate 2 birthdays. The server was terrific going over some highlights in the menu and offering suggestions on specials they were offering. She had complete knowledge of everything being served and she took exceptional care with us. The food was BEYOND delicious. We tried several appetizers and desserts along with our individual entrees. Everything we had was beyond exceptional. This restaurant is a fabulous addition to fine dining in the Tampa Bay area.
Felt very rushed with a 7 o’clock reservation on a Sunday night. Brought first time guests and waiter gave no introduction or didn’t go over any specials. Cleaning up around us as we are eating dinner without checking if food was ok. Great atmosphere.

What an amazing dining experience. All the food flavors and presentation are amazing and delicious.
The Sacred Pepper is a great and classy spot in the Northdale area! The menu has lots of delicious options for all pallettes. The cocktails are well made and of good size. The service was fantastic, everyone was a pleasure to deal with, and made it a good experience. Every item that I've had on the menu has been very tasty and a pleasant surprise. Everything about The Sacred Pepper has been a good time, every time.
