OMG I wish I could eat this meal over and over again!! To start - the whipped ricotta with gluten free bread was absolutely incredible. The warm honey was so very good & I wish I could eat them over & over again. My husband had the 14oz NY strip steak & it was cooked to perfection. He loved the chimichurri sauce & yummy sides. I had the wild mushroom-leek risotto with shrimp which was bursting with flavor. Our waitress was so lovely & did a great job at making us feel taken care of on a busy night. She was very knowledgeable about the menu & GF options. We really appreciated her service. The restaurant is cozy & warm which makes you feel right at home!! Can't wait for another trip up north to visit Thyme! read more

Beginning with the cauliflower appetizer which has an amazing Thai peanut sauce, to the beef short ribs, the food was perfectly prepared and beautifully served. The portion size was perfect even allowing for a box to take home for enjoyment. Selection of seating is great with intimate table seating or if you prefer a spot at the high tops or counter overlooking the kitchen. The servers are always attentive and willing to make food selection based on their experience. Always love dining here. read more

Thyme - Enjoy overlooking the bustle in the kitchen - New American Near Me - Sister Bay, Wisconsin

Here's what Thyme did well: They sure know how to present a plate. Our waiter was friendly and very knowledgeable. I appreciated the variety on the menu. The location? Adorable! What they could have done better: Though the food combinations sounded delightful the flavor wasn't fully there. My pasta dish with burrata fell flat. We had to wait a long time before our dishes came out. Would I go back? I'd definitely give it another shot and try something else on the menu! read more

Thyme has a modern vibe, feels cozy, and the menu is the perfect size offering creative vegetarian, seafood, poultry and beef entrees. There's a small bar with seating for 4, a smallish sized dining room, outdoor seating and a neighboring wine bar (Twelve Eleven), which is a chic spot for meet ups and wine tasting. No reservations accepted and this is a very popular spot, so arrive early. Would definitely recommend for a delicious meal and casual chic vibe! read more

This was probably our 3rd time eating dinner at Thyme. The first time we went and remembered the Whitefish corn chowder being so good so we tried it again, however it was good but not great this time. Nothing is included with the entrees, so you are paying separately for soup or salad, what is inexcusable is no bread service is offered, if you pay $38 for an entree a piece or two or a small roll should be included. I had the Grouper special it was solid, my off had the baked Salmon with lingonberry sauce, which overpowered the Salmon which was not that great of quality. Service was prompt and the place has a nice atmosphere. The food should be better for the $ they are charging, and they should at least offer a bread service. 3.5 for food, 3 for value, 4 for service and ambience. read more

It's our favorite restaurant in Door County! 45 minute wait for a table but you get to wait at the wine place next door. Nothing wrong with that! Dinner never disappoints. Indoor and outdoor seating, casual upscale vibe. Can't say enough good things about it, and service is always excellent. Please don't tell anyone else about it... read more

I had the meatloaf sandwich. It was so fresh and delicious. We ordered take out. Service was quick.

Amazing place ... a wonderful, modern restaurant; bar that offers sandwiches and small bites, and outdoor seating areas. I have been wanting to go here every time I've passed it and finally did - not to be disappointed! I had the most wonderful salad with perfectly cut julienne pear sticks, door county cherries and pecans, and linguine with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. My friend had sushi and an Asian vegetarian dish. We of course had to share a dessert. Note that the restaurant does not take reservations and the restaurant is not that big. After dinner, we sat outside on Adirondack chairs in front of the fire pit and listened to a live music, then went for a stroll in the garden. I do not give 5 star reviews lightly - but this place totally deserved it and I cannot wait to go back! Thank you for a wonderful evening. read more

Surprisingly good. I had the "lowly" burger but it was very good. Great flavor, propo cooked Nice garnishes. Thinly sliced pickles. Even chips good. Also had Porter. Others in party had fancier entries which were also good. Will be back. read more

Thyme has wonderful food and ambiance. I love that there is a beauty patio and amazing doors that open up to the yard in the summer. The food is not unitive it is very tasty. Definitely worth the wit of you have to wait in the summer. read more

We ate here for the first time the other night and were very pleased . While many of the items on the menu sound very spicy, they were able to leave that out for my wife and I . The food was delicious and served very elegantly. The service was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is very clean and modern. Quite impressive! The only drawback is that it is extremely loud. You had to shout for the person across from you to hear you. They really need some sort of acoustic baffles. read more

I do about 100 reviews a year and this is the best meal I had in 2025. First, Jack our server was most attentive! The whitefish chowder rocks and the pecan salmon was to die for. The wine menu is deep with some hidden gems. Will be back! read more

Love the dog friendly outdoor seating and ambiance! A little more upscale food and drink options but still at a decent price and still casual. A "nice" night out with doggie. The wine bar outdoor seating area looked really fun too. read more

Thyme - Mediterranean Whitefish en Papillote and Smoked Pork Bowl - New American Near Me - Sister Bay, Wisconsin

In my opinion, Thyme is the best restaurant in Door County. It's a beautiful place with great design, a lovely atmosphere, and excellent food -- beautifully presented. I'm not sure how to praise it without sounding like a Chicago snob, but it honestly feels like the level of a good Chicago restaurant. The service was great, the hosts were very professional, and the drink selection was impressive. Highly recommend. read more

Always good food! Conveniently located next to a wine bar to entertain yourself if you have to wait for a table. Prices are on the mid-high end but that's to be expected with fresh, good food. Atmosphere is nice, even better on a nice day when you can sit outside. Would recommend! read more

Food! Service! ambiance! JASON our rock star waiter!!!! Salmon delish!!! Big cooked just like I love it--THANK YOU!!!!! read more

Open for breakfast, so we gave it a try. Jessica, server, was excellent. Very attentive and had a great attitude. It was actually difficult to pick out a dish, so many great offerings. The cook on the dish was just right. Plated well and seasoned perfectly. Glad we gave it a try and will be back to try some of the other offerings. read more

Thyme - Sweat Potato Hash - New American Near Me - Sister Bay, Wisconsin

Thyme did a great job with catering our wedding on 11/1. Callie and Anne made the planning process super easy, and our food tasted great on wedding day! The dishes they prepared for our menu were creative and delicious! On the day of, staff were super professional, polite with our guests, the food was warm, despite being prepared offsite, and our guests kept saying how much they loved the food! We would highly recommend Thyme for catering anywhere in Door County in the future! read more

Lovely caterer and restaurant - one of the only open places for dinner in the dead on a Wisconsin winter. Lots of vegetarian options, the crème brûlée was especially yummy. The seating was a little cold by the windows (garage doors) as they have a completely open air space in the summer which must be so lovely. But we were comfy in the center area. Super extensive wine menu. read more

I've traveled the world and it never ceases to amaze me to find some of the best foods close to home. Everything thing here was excellent except the Tropical pavlova, it was absolutely amazing. Best dessert I've ever had. Thank you. Next time I'm in I'm going to start with dessert read more

Beautiful space with very friendly staff. We sat out on the patio and though it was a little windy it was still really nice. Folks had the sweet potato hash, avocado toast, and the loaded hash browns. The four star rating is because while the loaded hash browns were really tasty they were a little burnt. I would go back again though and try something different. read more

Beautiful space. Started with some wine, some bags, and some time by the fire. Had a fantastic meal. Lemon ricotta spread, cheese curds, and cauliflower for apps. Mains were spare ribs, general tsaos chicken, risotto, and basil pesto along with a plethora of kids meals. All persons were thrilled with their meals. We finished up with a door county cherry pie and crème brûlée. Service was on point and the court yard dining experience were fantastic. Prices were quite fair as well. Will be back read more

We've eaten here before and the food was great. Tonight, we never got that far. We were party of three (two adults and a toddler). After waiting several minutes for the hostess to address us, we were told the wait would be 25 minutes. The couple behind us was then told they could be seated immediately if they would take a high top. We were never given that option. After 10 minutes of her rushing back and forth bussing tables, I was told she assumed we wouldn't want a high top. read more

So delicious!! Love this newer spot in door county. High quality food with quite a variety of options. I tried the risotto and loved it. The ambiance is great too, with a very cozy feel to the restaurant. I can't wait to come back! read more

Thyme - Risotto - New American Near Me - Sister Bay, Wisconsin

The staff is so nice and accommodating. The food was excellent. I had mushroom risotto with grilled salmon and hubby had the filet mignon special. Be prepared to wait, but there's a wine bar next door and an indoor/outdoor space with music (may only be on weekends). We also were there on a rainy night, which limits how many tables they can use. read more

Came with our 3 pretty well behaved kids (seriously, we had 2 other diners compliment us on them this very night!) and had our kids directly scolded 3 times by staff while we were there. This is infinity % more than ever scolded before in a restaurant. And for mild kid like behaviors. Here are the 3 issues that staff snapped at our kids for: 1) my 5 yo daughter had her seat scooted too far away from the table and was apparently in the way of server, 2) my 3 yo son dropped a piece of spaghetti on the grass, and 3) one of my kids and another diner's kid was scolded for laughing too gregariously in an empty room far away from the dining area. It really felt like there was a generalized mandate to make kids seen and not heard as much as possible. Food was great, ambiance was great. We were just really disappointed about the treatment of our kids at 6pm on a Thursday in a family locale like door county. If you do have issues with kid behavior, I would recommend talking to parents directly instead of instructing staff to scold small children. Left a bad taste in my mouth and I will hesitate to go back. read more

Mary was so friendly a great sever! The white fish dip was so delicious and the side is on point. Definitely stop at 12:11 before having dinner at Thyme. I will be back! read more

My wife and I have been to DC and Sister Bay at least 33 times over the years. First time at Thyme. It will definitely not be our last! Our first experience was with the winery next door. The young lady pouring the wine was an absolute delight! Knowledgeable and fun! I had the Chardonnay, and my wife had the Zinfadel. Delicious! We sat out back, and they had a beautiful fire pit as it was slightly breezy. We had a wonderful time. We've been to the California wine regions many times... I swear it was if we were in Sonoma or Paso Robles! Next was dinner. We had a very knowledgeable server and, again, lots of fun. We started with the whipped honey ricotta, and I also had the beef soup! Which actually was more like beef stew! Incredible! then we split the Mushroom Risotto with added shrimp. Was really delicious. We topped it off with the olive oil and lemon cake. We met the owners afterward. Lovely couple. Very experienced restauraunteurs. I cannot recommend this place enough! A slice of California wine country in Door County WI! read more

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. We were visiting Sister Bay in Door County and came across this restaurant on line. So thrilled we did. We even went back a second time while vacationing there. White fish dip is outstanding. Salads good and both burger and chicken sandwich's were great. High quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. It's also a winery. They are not open on weekends as they also are a catering company. read more

We had a wonderful dinner with family outdoor at Thyme. Service was excellent, food was exceptional. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent food and superb service in a convenient location in Door County. Great to be able to have a glass of wine while we waited for our table. read more

Food was great, serving was a little small for the price. We just had the classic breakfast.

this is the third year we have visited this restaurant. I think the key components of importance for a restaurant are food, service, value and knowing how to quote a wait. food...very good service...good value....ok quoting the wait....TERRIBLE this problem has existed each of the 3 times we have eaten there. fool me once........ I guess I haven't learned. I arrived at 6:15 and was told that the wait was 45 minutes. this worked perfectly for our party of 8. At 7 the hostess said they were setting our table. we were finally sat at 7:30.....this was an hour and fifteen min of a wait. We ordered fairly quickly after sitting down....our food came at 8:30!! This food was good, but took longer than expected. I'm not sure why the host told us the table was being set 30 minutes before we were sat. To me honesty is critical. While being sat at or near 7 (as told) was the objective, it would have been a sign of hospitality if we had been offered something. I guess hospitality is not something practiced at this place. If you go..expect to wait longer than told. As they say in baseball...3 strikes and you're out. There are many other restaurants throughout Door County It's too bad!!! read more

Although we have been visiting Door County for years and now have our own place there, we had never been to Thyme until last night. It's a nice space that I can only imagine gets even nicer in the summer with everything opened up. The welcome was friendly, as was the wait staff. Our food was delicious. In particular, my husband chose the salmon which he would tell you is not his favorite fish, but he claimed he could eat Thyme's version every day. I chose the Roasted Tomato Basil Pasta and was very happy. The wine selection was impressive. We both had dessert and I absolutely loved the olive oil lemon cake. All in all, a great dining experience! read more

My wife and I live in Chicago and visit Door County in the summer. Over the years, we have dined at all of the restaurants in Door County that consistently receive high marks on Yelp and which are reflexively touted by locals and frequent visitors as the tried and true culinary haunts that can't be ignored. While many of these establishments have earned the praise that their loyal following have bestowed upon them, none have provided the unique type of dining and gastronomic experience that Thyme offers. Having grown up in both New York and New Jersey, my palate is as eclectic and unforgiving as the neighborhoods in which I was raised. Ive dined at some of the most notable and expensive restaurants in the world, each of which provides its own unique experience. We had the lemon thyme ricotta dish with toasted bread as a starter. Being part Sicilian, I was extremely impressed by, not only the quality of the ingredients, but the complexity of the overall flavor profile. The dish elevated a simple concept to something of mastery. The chicken Florentine soup was done beautifully and reminded me of my childhood. I had the Cuban sandwich which would make any Cuban proud. My wife had the pecan crusted salmon which was delicious (and this is by someone who hates salmon). I'd be remiss if I failed to mention our server. She was incredibly pleasant, knowledgeable and attentive. The only change that I suggested they make is to remove the salt and pepper shakers from the tables. Any restaurant worth its salt (couldn't pass up on the pun) should not have salt and pepper shakers because the food doesn't need to be tweaked. Simply stated, Thyme is by far the best restaurant in Door County. We couldn't more highly recommend this restaurant and are excited to eat there again. read more

My family had a wonderful experience at Thyme.My son has severe allergies and the hostess and waitress were amazing. The hostess, I didn't get her name but she had short blonde hair, was so wonderful. She took time and chatted through options. She even grabbed the allergy list and chatted w the kitchen. She made us feel comfortable and not like a burden. We then had Mary as a waitress who was also great. She double checked w the kitchen and had our son's food brought out first. Everything was amazing! We cannot wait to return! read more

First time diners... and we look forward to returning! Warmly greeted upon arriving. Immediately served and such a joyous dining experience! The chef is creative and offered so many wonderfully described entrees. Remember to have their whitefish chowder in a cup! Stroll the grounds after and head next door - either before or after for sampling their wide wine selections. See you again soon! read more
