Let's not beat around the bush. Some folks thought it was too expensive. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But the thing is, Sip Wine Bar and Restaurant in Gig Harbor's fabulous Uptown Shopping area listened to its customers. And made some changes. So now it's time to give them another try.
Last week I had a wonderful opportunity to sit with the owner of Sip and the Marketing Director of Washington Restaurant Group and talk about Gig Harbor as a unique community, and what it takes to be a successful business here. Those of us who live here already know the secret; we are not Seattle, we are not Bellevue, we are not Tacoma. The secret - don't try to put Gig Harbor into someone elses' box. We are, Gig Harbor.
The awesome thing about my conversation last week at Sip, was how eager and interested they were in learning more about Gig Harbor. Who are we and what makes us tick? They are a great organization that really is interested in making their restaurant property a place Gig Harbor enjoys.
So, it's time to give them another try Gig Harbor. Changes have been made to the prices on the menu and they have also changed up the wine pours. A fabulous entree Cabernet Braised Black Angus Ribs is only $19. Grilled Lamb Chops with a Port Mint Reduction will run you $28. If you're like me and like small plates as your entree the Sip Sweet Roll Sliders will only run you $9 and the Crab Cakes are $13. Don't forget the hand cut frittes for $7. It's a toss up for me as to my favorite salad...the traditional Iceberg Wedge with Roquefort ($9) or the Poached Pear with Arugula, spiced pecans and goat cheese ($9). Another great option each night is the homemade soups. When I was there last week the choice was a golden and red beet soup. I love beets so I had to try it. It was amazing, and so beautiful in its presentation!
Since it is a Wine Bar, you don't want to miss out on the incredible selection of wine at Sip. The choices are wide and diverse. 60z glass or full bottles are available with dinner or in the bar. Bottled beer is also available and there is talk of future cocktails as well.
- Did you know that EVERY night is Happy Hour during the week from 4:30-6:30 and 9-11pm with HALF PRICE POURS?
- Wednesday's are HALF PRICE BOTTLE night? Just purchase two en tree's and receive half off any bottle of $100 or less.
- Thursday is LADIES NIGHT, ladies receive 1/2 wine flights and enjoy live music.
Sip also offers the VIP Rewards Card. As a VIP member you earn points for every dollar you spend, providing you great deals as you build up points. Sip likes to recognize its loyal patrons and the VIP program is one way they do it.
If you read my blog frequently you know what an advocate I am for keeping your shopping and entertainment dollars local. Supporting Gig Harbor, now more than ever, is vital to our community's future. I am personally thrilled to have so many new dining options in Gig Harbor. So Sip again Gig Harbor, and reacquaint yourself with Sip Wine Bar and Restaurant, Uptown.
Open every day at 4:30p.m. Special groups and events welcome. Catering too!
