Food was superior, with the exception of the desert which lacked luster and was the only option (the chocolate cake was exceptionally disappointing). Had oysters, carrot dish mushroom dish, bone marrow and the prawns... all these plates were exceptional, I will be back. On arrival, sitting back to the upstairs picture window in the booth was cold, however heat was turned on halfway through our visit which helped(unprompted from our table). My partner had to wear her jacket the whole time sitting opposite me. Drinks were fantastic, especially with the additional buffalo Trace bone shot from the marrow bone!

Sip is amazing! One of our fave places in Dartmouth and Halifax. The ambiance is great, very laid back but hip. The food is outstanding and served family style, so try lots of things!! I recommend the carrots - they are my favourite dish every time. They cook everything in a huge woodfire oven, that is open to the restaurant, which adds amazing aroma and experience to the evening. Plus, the service is next level.

an amazing place. The open kitchen on the main floor with the woodfired oven is simply incredible. The food is consistently delicious. The cocktails are quite amazing. Hitting it out of the park as usual. Highly recommend.

Rib steak out of stock. Saw the duck in the cabinet but they’re not sure how to cook it yet. Why I’m here?

Food was outstanding. Service was slow tonight. They must have had an off night in the kitchen. We had no issues other times.

One of my Dartmouth favourites! Would like you to consider adding more shareable sides. Carrots are great but miss the potatoes, and some fire roasted Brussels sprouts/asparagus or mixed veggies would be a nice addition. However; I would encourage everyone to visit this restaurant and give it a try, it will not disappoint.
