Together with her team of passionate experts, she opened Sacred Pepper to provide the community with new twists on classic favorites in an inviting atmosphere. Locally sourced ingredients and made-from-scratch pastas and sauces highlight a Contemporary American menu with dashes of Mediterranean flair. Cocktails are inspired by cultures from around the world as well as modern, traditional, and pre-prohibition tastes.

    Great food, great service. Not crazy about the live music. It’s really hard to have a conversation.

    We went early after an appointment at the Moffitt Center. So, this delicious, attentive dining experience was just what we needed. The ambiance was soothing and perfect for a glass of wine and conversation. The calamari appetizer was cooked perfectly and had a great start. The server did not rush us and explained several menu items when we indicated that we had not been to the restaurant before. It turned out that both my husband and I made good choices. I had the chicken burrata, which featured melted slices of burrata with capers over grilled chicken. My husband had steak and shrimp. Both were perfectly prepared and satisfying. For dessert, we had chocolate chip cookies. Overall, this was great dining.

    Had a very enjoyable & relaxing dinner last night at Sacred Pepper. My server "Adam" took very good care of me (as always) and he made sure everything was "Perfect". After a glass of their fine wine I started with the Crab & Corn Chowder and then the Sacred Heart Salad. Both were flavorful & delicious! For my dinner I had the Seared Chilean Sea Bass that came with Jasmine Rice & a Veggie medley. It's the "Best" Sea Bass i have ever had. It's one of their most popular dishes and for "Good" reason. Sacred Pepper has it "ALL" for a very Special & Memorable Dining experience!

    Although the dining room is large, the design is such that it makes the tables feel intimate. The night we were there there was no noise from the huge bar and the dining room itself was full but quiet. Service was unobtrusive but attentive. The flow of the meal was very appropriate. We both had fish dishes (the grouper piccata and the oak-grilled salmon) and they were both done perfectly. No matter your carb-phobia, do not skip the bread. It is outstanding with a crisp crust and a tender crumb. The dipping sauce was excellent.
