Sip Sip — Restaurant in New Providence

A Slice of Heaven: Sip Sip Paradise Island, Where Wendy Makes Dreams a Reality From March 2nd to March 9th, my wife and I were fortunate enough to experience the magic of Nassau, Bahamas, and a significant part of that magic was found at Sip Sip Paradise Island. This isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience, a vibrant celebration of Bahamian flavors and warmth, all amplified by the incredible leadership of Wendy, the restaurant manager.

Walking into Sip Sip, you're immediately greeted by breathtaking views, a lively atmosphere, and the unmistakable scent of delicious, fresh cuisine. But what truly sets this place apart is the genuine hospitality that permeates every interaction. And at the heart of that hospitality is Wendy.

Throughout our week-long stay, Wendy went above and beyond to ensure our dining experiences were nothing short of perfect. She remembered our names, our preferences, and even our little anecdotes from previous meals. It felt less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into a friend's home.

One evening, my wife mentioned her love for a particular local fruit that wasn't on the menu. The next day, Wendy surprised us with a beautifully prepared plate featuring that very fruit, sourced specially for us. It was a gesture that spoke volumes about her dedication and genuine care for her guests.

Beyond her personalized service, Wendy's energy and passion were infectious. She gracefully managed the bustling restaurant, ensuring every table was attended to and every guest felt valued. She shared stories about the island, offered recommendations for local attractions, and always had a smile and a kind word for everyone.

The food at Sip Sip, of course, is exceptional. The conch chili is a must-try, as is the lobster quesadilla, and the daily specials were always creative and bursting with flavor. But it was Wendy's attention to detail, her genuine warmth, and her unwavering commitment to creating a memorable experience that truly elevated our time at Sip Sip.

She created an atmosphere where we felt completely relaxed and indulged. She made us feel like we were part of the Sip Sip family.

Our trip to Nassau wouldn't have been the same without Sip Sip, and it certainly wouldn't have been the same without Wendy. She is a true gem, and her dedication to her guests is a testament to the spirit of Bahamian hospitality. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Paradise Island, look no further than Sip Sip. And be sure to say hello to Wendy – she'll make you feel right at home. We cannot...

If I had (1) thing to say it would be, sit around and watch what people order and get so you have an idea…but I have more than (1) thing to say so continue reading if you’d like…

So disappointed in both the food and service here. This is our first trip to the Bahamas and was looking forward to the food here.

Sip gave us a bad experience, first of all they were out of the Sangria on the menu but didn’t bother to tell us until after we ordered drinks and food, then we ordered the skinny margarita when the server came back and told us about the Sangria (he just said no Sangria and stared at us until we picked the margarita), the skinny margarita was so strong it was undrinkable. Should have been a clue to leave then but we had already ordered food, big mistake!

They keep pressuring you into picking something to eat before you even get your drinks, NOW I see why…

Burger was supposed to be 8oz Angus Beef but was beyond overcooked even though ordered medium. Wings were overdone and no ranch dipping was available, or any other dipping sauces.

Also ordered red 2 Caesar salads @18 each, probably had about $1 worth of lettuce in each, (1) cut-n-half cherry tomato 😂 and (2) slices of cucumber…

All I can say is it was overpriced tasteless food with drinks so strong they could be used as gasoline.

So upset with the experience and would never recommend. No energy no enthusiasm, just felt like “order your stuff and get out”…

And no pics because it wasn’t worth photographing…oh and by the way it was NOT busy at all…

The bill was $141 usd, which is insane, I will NEVER even give it a 2nd chance…

They also do not bring itemized receipts so it tricks you into adding...

Menu looked good but… Ahi Poke Tuna - the tuna and watermelon were good. Unfortunately the roasted macadamias were rancid. I went and I asked the cooks to taste the macadamias they are adding to food so they don’t add it to other customers’ dish. There was no feed back on that, no excuse. I ordered the black bean hummus, our server brought the regular hummus. When I said I wanted the black bean she said “do you want this?” … so I just went with it. Again, no excuse, no offer to bring the right dish. And the cherry on the cake: as she was giving us our bill I accidentally spilled one of drinks on the game I was playing with my kids. There was absolutely no reaction, no attempt to clean the table. I asked her to bring napkins, she returned after a while with the bill (I went myself and got napkins from the counter).

On the good side: the burger was excellent , the grouper Reuben was good, the hummus and nachos ok. The Jalapeño margarita was excellent, the spicy Bloody Mary and virgin mango daiquiri were good.

Main problem seems to be the staff… not very customer friendly… no smile, no chat, no reaction …. I very likely would have ignored everything if I would have heard at least...
