Brussel Sprouts
Diana R.

Ambiance is nice but it is a very dark lighting restaurant. They asked if we had a reservation but they weren't busy so we were sat right away. The Mac and cheese tastes was the best I love truffle Mac and cheese reminds me of the flavor of salt rock I got the steak Frites wagyu sirloin and fries I liked it steak was a bit chewy but over all good the Brussels sprouts were good think I just prefer whole over shaved service was good our server was nice nothing extra. They have wine specials and beer on tap but no liquor.

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!!!!

First time visit - wife's birthday dinner and sister in law's anniversary - 4 of us total. The food…read morewas absolutely amazing. We started with the cheese bread and pork belly guacamole - both delicious. Drinks: wife got Pina Coloda and I got the Caipirinha, both made well. We order the 3 lbs of meet and the premium meet tray with mash potatoes (garlic and great!), asparagus, sautéed vegetables and caramelized bananas. This dinner was wonderful and we came away with take home box with some left over meat. Service was prompt and took excellent care of us. Only negatives: small area, we were lucky wasn't that busy but tight accommodations. Drinks: zero refills, unless you get tap water. We will return? Absolutely. If the owner keeps this up he will soon be able to expand his operation into a larger setting.

In the manner of all Brazilian style steakhouses, ALWAYS, ALWAYS OVERPRICED! The food is good, the…read moreservice is mediocre to nearly good service. I have no idea how they "get away" with charging such prices for their beef, chicken, lamb served with "sticky rice" (by the way on my trips to Brazil, I do not recall EVER getting lousy sticky rice - normally it is a Jasmine variety that is delicious and never sticky!) Also Black beans and a small assortment of side sauces that were decent. Oh and very soft Pao de Queso... one of my all time favorites, very much UNDERCOOKED - but I still liked it, due to the difference in cooking style. I have always had Pau de Queso well baked, with a hard crusty outer shell and a soft inner cheesy delightful center! Ani was the waitress, she is Cuban, while the remainder of the staff appears to be Brazilian, not sure, did not have the opportunity to ask. Ani worked her butt off, while the 4 others stood around watching. I hated that I had the sense of prejudice, maybe my "American" sensitivities were set off? I am a conservative, usually not looking for such BS, but this just seemed to be a bit obvious. Albeit the initial amount of people dining was 5 tables with an average of 4... she was able to do her job, but at the sacrifice of timely service to tables. The "ambiance" is fine, nothing truly distinguishes this as a Brazilian restaurant; I have been to Brazil 6 times, there restaurants do not really have anything distinguishable. Except the road side Churrasco - or those inside wayfaring gas stations... always loved those set ups! After sitting and being served for 1.5 hour, the people started to come in... and the place was full of families having a good meal! The other staff finally stepped up and did a good job! All of the staff were congenial, engaging and proactively serving, once the crowd showed up. Do I recommend this place? Yes, but only for an event where you seek a casual ambiance, decent food, pretty good service and you want a less expensive (albeit still expensive) alternative to the "high falooting" Brazilian Steakhouses like Rodizio or Texas de Brazil... those are off the charts!

This place really caught my eye driving by the restaurant during the day. And when you walk inside,…read moreit doesn't disappoint. It has a pretty amazing bakery section when you walk through the back door to enter the restaurant. I was starving and picked the biggest thing on the menu which is the smokehouse platter and you get a ton of food with this platter (Brisket, pulled pork, quarter rack of ribs all served with coleslaw, Texas toast & side of fries.) I thought the price was absolutely amazing because you get all the food for $28.95. Needless to say as starved as I was, I couldn't even finish the whole meal. Our server was Scott and he was pretty amazing and he was training a new hire and I'm sorry but I can't remember her name but she was equally great and explained the menu really well. It's really a bonus that they stay open till 11 PM Thursday through Saturday. So anything you get that is from the BBQ...they bring out this 4 pack of house sauce. I tried each of them and all were great and had their own unique taste. Chipotle White, PD BBQ, Korean BBQ, Carolina BBQ. The Korean BBQ was definitely my favorite. The chipotle white is kind of almost like a mayonnaise in my opinion. The inside while definitely fresh and clean looking...it does have a sort of rustic, actual prohibition older type feel. Would absolutely come back when in town again. Great overall experience here

Lots of parking and reservations made over the phone. Would come back but not rushing too.
