We live next to Sip and have been there a few times. Dinner for two averages over 100$. I find the food to be oversalted oftentimes and just not ""that good"". I can cook better myself! The winelist is extensive if you are into such things, and if you love wine more than food, maybe this is the place for you. Our cheese plate was good. The salads were okay. The fries were so salty we couldn't eat them. We are vegetarian, so unfortunately there is only one (sometimes two) things we can choose as a main dish. When they have eggplant wellington, it is pretty good, but too mustardy--mustard is all I can taste. The Southern Style Sunday dinner Eggplant parmesan was terrible. So tough and salty! Even the garlic bread on the side tasted like a salt lick. My tea and coffee were both great. The desserts are hitt or miss. Standing cannoli was weird--not what we'd figured it would look or taste like. The filling portion was too thick, and the cannoli shells were not tasty, just deep fried flour. The warm apple cake was okay, but they serve it atop a berry reduction--which would have been great, except the parchment paper was still around my cake. Gross and messy to eat! We got bread for our table when we were almost done with our main dish. At that time, we weren't interested in the bread anymore, we could have used it earlier in the evening! Sometimes we get no bread (but see other tables with it) and once we got bread in the begining of the meal--I think that was the best time we were there, and it was on their second or third day open. \r

Our waiter was actually nice this time. Most of the time, I feel that the wait staff is incredibly snooty. I give three stars because I like the cozy interior and the food often looks cool. However, food should only look cool if you can still showcase the flavors and if it is still similar to what the person who ordered it was expecting. Not something this restaurant excels at. Every time I go, I say never again.
