Chicken paillard
Sandra M.

We saw nothing but positive reviews and decided to give it a shot. The restaurant sits in a plaza and not hard to find. It's definitely a wine bar, with a long bar and several tables for diff size parties. Nicely decorated, clean, comfortable. A new waitress took great care of us. For appetizer, we had the short rib meatballs. It was served with 1 small scoop of ricotta and a few pieces of bread (a bit mushy) but was delicious. For dinner we ordered the seafood couscous and the chicken paillard. The couscous was cooked perfectly, but the seafood was not really fresh. The chicken was very thin, crispy on the corners and a bit overcooked, which made it dry. It was served with arugula and sun-dried tomatoes and neither helped with making the meal moist. It was disappointing to say the least. I hope it was just an off night and we'll give it another shot in the future.

Lamb Sliders- delicious!
Darcen M.

We were late for our reservation and they were very accommodating. We had the Blackened Snapper- it was a special and it was excellent! The Ahi Tuna Stack - Amazing- very delicious. The Burrata Crostini was delicious- although we expected it to be warm- and it was cold - still delicious. The Wedge Salad was made with Romaine as I prefer it is more nutritious- it was so good. Lamb sliders- very delicious! The Ambiance was nice and the place- and our server was nice- we also got a bottle of red wine and it was perfect for the evening. Coming from a Plant City the only problem was the drive- wish it was closer.

Great restaurant located in a strip mall in Palm Harbor. There's a very nice inside dining room, long bar and a few patio tables. They have happy hour specials. The food really was fantastic. We started with the Brussels sprouts appetizer with bacon, truffle aioli, shaved parmesan. The Brussels sprouts were shredded so they were easier to eat and were really delicious with the bacon and parmesan. For our meals we had the grouper special with a beurre blanc sauce, green beans and sun dried tomatoes and a quinoa and brown rice medley and the Double cut pork chop 16 oz with a maple glaze. They were both absolutely delicious. The pork chop was a good size portion but I would've wanted a little bit more grouper for the price. For dessert we had the salted caramel cheesecake which was divine. We sat at the bar, great service. They are open 4-10pm Monday through Thursday and 4 to 11 Friday and Saturday. They are closed on Sunday..

Tomahawk steak truffle fries and truffle Mac.   We love this place.   Never a bad meal and great service.

We love this place. Excellent service from the staff and a great meal. This is a must if you live in Pinellas County

Caesar salad, shrimp appetizer and the main chicken dish
Gary G.

This was our first trip to Sip85. We got there at 5:45 and of the 10 or so tables 2 were seated. The gentleman asked if we had a reservation which we didn't so he told us we could sit at the bar or outside. We chose outside. Over the hour that we were there only 2 other couples showed up. Not sure what the issue was with seating us at a table but that was not very accommodating when it was 92 degrees out. For food, the Caesar salad was a salad. My wife really liked the shrimp appetizer but the chicken dish had higher expectations than it achieved. It wasn't bad but wasn't anything special. I expected a lot more from a restaurant that only had 4 main dishes. Overall it is questionable if we go back.

Truffle Mac and cheese
Melissa L.

This spot is the place to be in this area! Recommend the beggars pouches, the charcuterie and the caprese salad. Flavorful, and fresh - especially those pouches to start! The Brussels sprouts are also the lightest most fluffiest and flavor filled vegetables. The first time we went the server was knowledgeable and let us try some of the wines before we committed. Once we described what we liked, he was able to pair us with a perfect wine... x2. We went back later in the week and had the pleasure of being served by the owner! He was knowledgeable, personable and kind. He gave us nothing but awesome recommendations and even surprised me (per my request with my last glass!). Every wine is perfectly chosen and delivered so beautifully. Strongly recommend trying this gem yourself. Call ahead so you're guaranteed a seat.

Waygu steak and substituted frites for the daily mash
Hollie L.

I really wanted to love this place and had high hopes from the lovely welcoming from the hostess that turned in to being our server. We love meatballs and almost always try them when it's a first visit so imagine our disappointment when these ones weren't anything special. The fact they have them as an appetizer and main dish led us to believe different. The red sauce was plain and not all that great. The steak was the best thing we had but it was undercooked and as you can see they don't really care too much about plating as they didn't let it rest before slicing it and didn't clean the plate before serving it. The potatoes were the most disappointing part of the meal. When you see "daily mash" one would assume they make them fresh. These were instant potatoes that I wouldn't even eat at home. For the $90 price tag for a bottle of wine and two mediocre meals we will not be returning. Our server was truly amazing though and for that I give it 3 stars.

Brussel sprouts
Jordan C.

The best brussel sprouts!! You have to order them. Also, I'd recommend making a reservation. It seems like they operate off mostly reservations.

Kieran O.

Just WOW!!!! We knew nothing about this place.... Got lucky enough to score a bar seat and had the BEST salad & Branzino... like EVER!!!! We live in Lakeland... but we will be back---For sure!!!!

Great place tucked away in Palm Harbor. We go frequently. Rather small so don't assume you will get a table.

Very good food. Little on the pricey side, so if you are on tight budget, save up for a special occasion. Service is acceptable.

Came here after a day at Indian rocks Beach, they have a location (original) there, but I found out…read morethere's is a location in Palm harbor, on my way home to tarpon. This location is way better!! It's (3) levels and I sat at the top on this gorgeous day! Drinks are great for happy hour which runs from 11:00am-6:00pm great drinks for $5!!! I had the BEST Crab Cake since I moved (3 years) to Florida! Don't agree with a $35 dollar price tag..BUT it was Soooooo buttery, that I was scraping my skillet for more. Service was great! They might have been short handed..I'm just assuming...but the waiter was making my drinks! That alone is a SUPER bonus!! All-in-all I will come back! I'll be back for the crab boil..they have (3) to choose from and they look delicious! I was snacking all day, so "Linner" was light.

It has an old southern feel with its large windows and open second floor. Once seated, we were welcomed by our server Lily, who made recommendations and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. We appreciated the prompt and attentive service. Lily made sure to check in on us between our servings and was super friendly. The fried calamari was a nice start, the clam chowder was excellent, and our main dish a seafood platter in garlic butter was amazing! Our friends loved their dinners also. We will definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu choices in the future.

This place is absolutely adorable…read more I think this street is the perfect place to hit up a couple restaurants for a progressive dinner. A lot of the restaurants are closed for lunch though, which is how we ended up here. It's a lot larger than it looks. There's a really cute covered outdoors area in the back with a stage for performances. There were only a few diners there for lunch on a Friday so it was easy to grab a spot. I got a skinny strawberry margarita, it made me happy to see a skinny version of a flavored margarita on the menu. It has a sugar rim and was delicious. It's on the sweet side and I'd definitely get it again. I requested it without soda water. For my main I got the salmon bowl. I wouldn't get this again, but it's because the base is mainly fried wontons. I thought it would be a scattering of fried wontons but nope, it was a hefty portion. I didn't eat most of the fried wontons because I'm trying to be healthy. It's a delicious dish, just not for me. Service was great, but we were an easy table because we were chatting the entire time. I enjoyed our meal here, so we will definitely be back!

BE CAREFUL NOT DOUBLE TIP! 20% Automatically for Crappy service!…read more This place used to be great but has fallen off the map. They have cut some many corner then what it used to be. The buffalo chicken sandwich barely comes with any sauce and the blu cheese dressing is mayonnaise with some blu cheese in it. The waiters and staff are less than par because they have put an automatic 20% tip so why work hard. Waited 30 minutes to order, took 28 minutes to get food and 25 minutes for a check with no one to check on us and the food. They spend most of the time on their phones. CINDA should not be running this place. She has no management skills as she screens across the bar to the sushi chef like a dried out scagg!
