Sip — Restaurant in Ephraim

One important rule in life is to give more than you get. Seeing a few reviews here, I have to ask myself about some of the people. As you follow down the rabbit hole of 1* reviews, and how some people complain about everything. Then, you realize it's a reflection of "them" and their 'internal failures' as humans, not the establishment itself. --- I'm leaving a review here for a number of reasons. Some of those reviews that are "entitled" about staff, those people actually frequent the area, and are taking their sense of self, and elevating it above others; that's really sad. It doesn't take long to write a review, but promise you; reviews here and there add up to help people. I am not related to this place, I've never set foot in there, and I don't know the owners. I was not paid to write this, and it's freely our opinion as we want to give more than we get. Now, does the place have high prices? People don't care about Prada, or Louis Vitton, when it comes to cost; they simply associate with "entitled." -- If the place costs $100 to eat, so be it. The atmosphere looks cool from the photos. Door County is a tiny community, and word-of-mouth is what gets the job done. As to some of the comments about "avacado was literally guacamole just spread onto the bread." - How ignorant? Avacado is a major part of Guac (which also includes, onions, salt, lime, tomatoes, and other ingredients.) Therefore, if you really want to compare apples to apples; it would have a higher cost than simply avocado. The place looks like LOADS of fun. If you take into consideration JUST the cost of the coffee machine, and understand a hint of business operations, coupled with seasonality of Door County; pricing has to be different than other cities. This is why it costs $8.00 for a bottle of water at Disney's Magic Kingdom. -- You don't see a bunch of reviews about that do you? Trucking products, costs of labor, taxes, heating, these are all costs associated with turning a busines. Think about a business that pulls in $1000 a day. For an average 12 hour open day, that's $83/HR. If you have to pay staff even minimum $7.50 an hour. 3 staff are almost $30/hr of overhead (i've calculated in costs for work comp, insurance etc.) Leaving a business owner with $50 and that does not include food costs. I hope that this proves informative to those enjoying leaving unpleasant diatribes. and to some people who are so entitled to comments such as "the toast was barely toasted?" --- These are comments of pure entitlement. Ask your server to take it back. Don't announce to the world 1) I'm entitled and 2) I don't ask for things and 3) that I complain more than I give. Why? Because, eventually a future boss will read these and decide that is not the person that they want to hire. That's why. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Keep running your busines your way and do it with a smile; because, it makes the...

My husband and I visited Sip the day after Valentine's day. It was a Saturday late morning when we decided to visit. I was happy that there was plenty of parking, however it was very snow covered and not well marked. It's a very quaint building that may have previously been an old farm house. The decor is cute and reflects a very new "city-like" feel. Then I saw a the prices of drinks and food behind the counter, city-like prices which will only continue to go up due to inflation. Although what can one expect in Door County. I was not expecting this to be an order at the counter place, and failed to bring my glasses. So unfortunately I had a difficult time reading the menu behind the counter. I was also saddened by the menu font which is not dyslexic friendly. I ordered a Macha latte and a chorizo burrito. We then waited at the counter for our drinks. Drinks were ok, but my husband didn't see or find the sugar station until he was nearly done with his coffee. It would have been nice if the person behind the counter would have mentioned the station. After we got our drinks we searched for seating. We looked around the corners, when upstairs and finally sat in seats at the door. It was tough to see tables for four with two people at them, and counter space with the couples sitting in the center. Maybe the owner should consider using tables for two. When we went upstairs I thought surely there will be seating, but NO. There were some chairs but it was mainly some sort of knick-knack/book store, waste of space when there is limited seating. Also why would I want to stand in the food/drink line again. So while we are sitting by the door waiting for our food a table opens up, for which I was grateful. Unfortunately it's a table for four and now I feel bad because there are other people who would also like to sit and enjoy their breakfast. So I quickly try to enjoy my overpriced little burrito so we can get on with...

First time there. Got there and stood waiting to find out what we were to do as far as seating ourselves or waiting to be seated. A waitress instead of speaking to us went to the closet to dig out the sign that said wait to be seated on back patio or inside and placed it in front of us. We said we’d like to sit out back and she then proceeded to say you can’t. There’s a wedding tonight. I can seat you inside or you can go out front and sit and then come in and place your order at counter. I placed my order with an appetizer and my meal which were brought out together at the same time. The food was fine but very bland. No spices or herbs added. I ordered a wine off their menu that they were out of. My sister-in-law ordered crab cake appetizer and the two meals. They brought the meals out but not the crab cake appetizer. We mentioned that we were still waiting on them. They then proceeded to have two waitresses come out to show us and school us on the fact it wasn’t on the receipt. I had been standing next to my sister-in-law when she ordered the crab cakes so it was the girl at the counter that missed placing the appetizer but the waitresses, since two had to come out together, made us feel like we were at fault. First and last time...
