    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!

    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..

    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.

    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

    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.

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

    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!!!!

On my first visit, I ordered the mix & match gyros and specifically requested no onions because I have an onion allergy. The receipt even said "no onions," but when I got home, both gyros had onions on them. Lacked flavor. I decided to give them another chance and ordered two burgers. Unfortunately, they were just as bad. The burgers were bland, had almost no seasoning or flavor, and didn't taste fresh. They also weren't very warm by the time I got home, so I had to reheat them in the microwave. I don't mind giving a restaurant a second chance, but after two disappointing experiences, I just can't recommend it. The food lacked flavor, and the mistake with my allergy request makes it hard for me to trust them with future orders. Front staff also bland, no smiles, no politeness. Nothing, bland just like the food here.

I had the fried seafood platter, and everything was lightly battered, crispy, and full of flavor. It was so good my wife kept reaching over and picking at my platter!

On the rare occasion that…read moreseafood was on the menu, it was typically a frozen variety like Groton's, or the occasional fish fry at the Elk's Club. That's changed since moving to the Gulf Coast of Florida, where the fish at the local restaurant today was probably swimming yesterday. My "go-to" seafood now is a grouper sandwich which I order blackened but NOT fried. I've sampled grouper sandwiches from many local dining establishments, but my favorite is from "Carvor's Fish House" A couple of important notes: 1) Carvor's is only open for LUNCH. Their hours vary, so you'll want to check the website, but they typically close at FIVE PM, with the last order accepted at FOUR PM. 2) Carvor's has NO inside dining The patio is tree-shaded with extra umbrellas but if it's really hot, you may be uncomfortable. 3) Carvor's has COUNTER SERVICE. You go inside, order your food and THEN go back outside and select a table. When your food is ready, a server will bring it to your table. 4) This is downtown Dunedin, and parking can occasionally be a challenge on Douglas Street, but FREE parking is available in the city parking garage across the street. Pictured is my "blackened grouper" sandwich. A refreshing change from the usual French fries is their homemade chilled tomato, cucumber and onion salad. Delish!

    Predatory worker compensation structure - Be aware…read more We recently dined here and noticed the tabletop signs explaining a mandatory 20% "commission" added to every single bill. When speaking with our server, she informed us that management classifies the waitstaff as 1099 independent contractors, meaning they receive a $0 hourly base rate from the restaurant and rely entirely on this mandatory guest fee for their paycheck.I have a physical copy of the check showing this automatic fee. While the sign claims this "supports our team," classifying standard restaurant servers as 1099 workers instead of W-2 employees is a massive red flag that contradicts federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guidelines. Independent contractors set their own hours and operations; servers do not. Furthermore, a restaurant cannot legally leave a server's direct hourly base wage at zero by relying entirely on automatic service fees.We love supporting local staff, but we want our money going to businesses that respect basic labor laws and compensate their employees legally. Hopefully, public pressure will force management to fix their payroll structure. The server said the restaurant was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to make changes. Sadly they chose to break the law. On that note the service was lovely, the food very tasty. I asked to sub corn for flour tortias and she was able. We don't directly live in the area, and its been a while since we've been here. Its always good, with good portions and not a chain. Its so unfortunate.

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!
