This place is amazing. Not shown were the shishito peppers which we had tempura style (SO DELISH) and the pistachio cheese which was shockingly delightful! The service was excellent and the live music really set the atmosphere! 10/10!

We had a beautiful graduation dinner at Sacred Pepper! We had a table mixed of goodies and picky eaters, and everyone was accommodated perfectly. Start with the meatballs appetizer! They are a meal alone with the choice of 3 or 4- we shared among 6 of the 7 of us and were very pleased! We also had the lobster stuffed shrimp- luscious! A few of us started with Caesar salads that were so delicious and a unique presentation with a split baby head of romaine lettuce- similar to a wedge style salad. Dinners were perfectly portioned and the picky eaters could make reasonable substitutions- a few of the girls ordered chicken Parmesan with sauce adjustments, while others enjoyed the chicken bursts, sea bass, and a perfectly cooked ribeye. Dessert was delicious and fun! We got a few to share- the build your own sundae platter, the special dessert was a pistachio affogato)that was all mine and perfectly balanced with texture and sweetness to bitterness), the chocolate cake, and a crème brûlée. The atmosphere was very comfortable and posh. The service was pleasant and everyone we encountered were helpful and kind. We will be back!

First time here... and nicely impressed. It was a surprise birthday dinner put on by a bunch of my neighbors. I ordered the Grouper Picatta, and a Caesar Salad. Creme Brulee for dessert. I did not know they were going to bring me a molten lava cake for my birthday, also. So I got double desserts, yay! Grouper was very good... although missing the buttery, lemony tang I associate with Picatta (at least when I make it). But it was delicious, as was the orzo pasta dish it was served on with asparagus. Desserts were excellent! Service was awesome!

Our waitress was excellent and I wish I could remember her name! We came for a girls night bday dinner and all 7 of us had a fabulous round booth in the back corner of the bar. The ambiance in here is immediately a great vibe for quiet drinks, an intimate dinner or a celebration. We all had delicious cocktails to start and a few of the apps. The Brie and steak bites were probably my favorites, but the Buffalo cauliflower was good too! Complimentary bread looked fantastic and came with a subsided tomato pesto looking oil/topping. We had a wide range of entrees, but I was impressed with the flexibility to adjust toppings/side dishes and his delicious and fresh each item was. We tried a few desserts and the bread pudding stole the show. I am already looking forward to coming back. Extra bonus- there was live music and the singer was SO GOOD!

I love Sacred Pepper from the food, drinks and the ambiance everything is on point! They offer an amazing ladies night menu on Thursdays with drinks and light bite options! Perfect place for a date night or to grab dinner with friends! The food is phenomenal! I tried the crab cakes last night for the first time and they did not disappoint. The fried Brie appetizer is one of my absolute favorites as well. The bartenders make great (STRONG) drinks! Restaurant is elegant and nice change of scenery. Def try this place out if you are in the Carrollwood area (North Dale Mabry)!

Wonderful place for date night or night with friends. I came here with my Disney run group, so there was six of us total. It was a Tuesday night and our reservation was for 7, although I bet you will still be seated without a reservation. The restaurant is beautiful, every time I come I'm reminded how gorgeous this decor is. We started with the Shishito Peppers (which is a must get) and the Pistachio Crusted Brie. The brie was also very good, but since my husband is allergic to pistachios I'm only able to get this with friends. For my main I got the Short Rib Cavatelli after having food envy when my friend got it last time. I think this is a winner for me, the pasta tastes homemade and I short rib is tender. I brought half of it home and it still tasted great the next day. I also got a side of the corn, which I didn't love as much as I did last time. I think in the future I can pass. Shishito peppers and Short Rib Cavatelli will be my go-to order. I got a dirty martini with vodka for my drink and it was pretty good. I'm not mad about it, but they do have a fun looking drink menu, so I'll consider ordering off the menu next time. For dessert we got chocolate chip cookies. They come with four to a plate. We got two servings, since there was six of us, but they are pretty big cookies. It was a little too sweet for me, so I would probably forgo it. Parking is easy, service is great, this is definitely a solid choice for dinner.
