    Loved the food. The margarita was great too. We were traveling and it was a great food experience.

    First the pros: ambiance and service are great. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very attentive and personable. Cons: the food. I ordered the Cauliflower wings and the scallops "atop wilted spinach and beurre blanc". The cauliflower was extremely heavily breaded. Extremely. Wasn't expecting that and it was disappointing. I had to peel off the breading and the discards almost filled the bowl it was served in. The scallops were a good size, but unfortunately very very sandy. I had to send them back. Also I had to ask what happened to the spinach and they told me it was under the scallops. There was about one leaf of spinach under each scallop. Not exaggerating. I sent it back, which is something I RARELY do. I couldn't find anything else on the menu that wasn't fried or pasta. I like to eat low-gluten (not allergic just know I feel better without it) and there were no options on this menu besides the scallops and maybe the salmon, which I didn't try. They quickly agreed to take the scallops off the bill (didn't seem surprised at all that I didn't like them) but I don't think I would ever go back, except for to get some drinks from the bar area.

    We chose this restaurant on a whim and so happy we did! It's a tapas style restaurant and everything we got was amazing! Our waiter was kind and very helpful in explaining how to order and what to get! They had both small and large plates. We would definitely come again!

    OMG!!! You have to go to this place!! We were trying to find a place in Oxford that want your typical bar food, and thankfully found The Sip!! We came in right before last call and ordered cauliflower "wings", Brussels sprouts and bruschetta.... 5 stars for each item! I know it's a wine place but I ordered a lemon drop martini and it was excellent Atmosphere was perfect and they have outside dining as well.

    If I could give more stars I totally would! It was the best time! My friend and I were coming from out of town to go to a concert at the Lyric so we had to find some yummy food beforehand. First off, I love tapas-style restaurants so this peaked my interest right when I saw the menu. There is not a parking lot, but there were some street parking and a lot that you have to pay for. We didn't have any trouble finding a spot close by but a weekend might be a different story. Our waiter was the absolute nicest and he answered any and all questions we had about the menu! For our meal, we ordered crispy Brussels sprouts, Goat cheese and Fig Bruschetta, General Homie's Cauliflower wings, and Beef Empanadas. It was very hard to choose! Everything was full of flavor and really tasty, but if I had to pick one it might have been the Goat cheese and fig Bruschetta and the brussels sprouts are a close second. But all were really good! I order the lady love as my first drink, and I'm not much of a tequila girl, but it was mixed really well and you could taste the strawberry. For my second drink, I asked if the bartender could surprise me with a rum-based drink. When I received it the waiter said you should feel like you were at the beach, and it totally did feel like that! Quite delicious. Wishing this restaurant could move to Memphis because I would go back all the time. If you're in town, definitely check it out, you won't regret it!

    Goat Cheese Bruschetta

    If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars I would. I visited from out of town on a Tuesday night and was seated very quickly. Our waiter was great. Very sociable and well informed when we had questions about the dishes. Everything on the menu looked great but in the end we decided to get the crispy Brussel sprouts, Goat cheese and Fig Bruschetta, and the Beef Empanadas. Each plate was great. It's hard to pick a favorite and you can't go wrong with either. We had only planned on getting three plates but the food was so good we ended up ordering the Cauliflower wings as well which did not disappoint. The drinks were also great! I cannot recommend the key lime pie cocktail enough. It was one of my favorite that I've ever had and tasted exactly like a slice of pie. Everything we had was great I was only sad that I was full and couldn't taste more. Great sultry nighttime atmosphere and they have a spacious outdoor patio. We were able to find parking in a lot but I could see it being more of an issue on the weekend since it seems to be a big college hangout area. Wish we lived closer so I could come back but next time I'm in Oxford I'll be stopping by.

    Good food, and Great drinks! Love the appetizer menu here, but the main menu items are just fine. Very dimly lit but still a cool vibe inside!! Cauliflower Wings and Goat Cheese and Fig Bruschetta are a MUST TRY!

    I stopped by this lovely tapa & wine restaurant on the Square because I was hearing from friends to check it out. Upon entering it has beautiful decor with TVs at the bar for sports. I sat at the bar to indulge in the drinks & light bites. They have an extensive wine list with even multiple options of port wine, which I love! And they offer flights. I ordered the goat cheese & fig bruschetta and was able to add some pieces of prosciutto to it because I didn't need an entire board. I was grateful for that & it was delicious! I had two of their signature cocktails which were good but not anything exciting. The chicken fettuccine pasta was ok. I could've tried something else. Overall, it's a beautiful spot to catch up with friends and share some food items and enjoy some wine!

    Charcuterie board
    Lesley M.

    We attended a surprise birthday party here on a Monday night The girl that served us was very nice and quick to bring whatever we requested. The charcuterie board was delicious! The meats, cheese, and cream cheese bread was perfect for the large crowd. The atmosphere inside is dark and quiet. I would love this for a date night. This might sound weird, but I loved the bathroom decor! Bright red / hot pink lips wallpaper ascended the black/white flooring and cabinets.

But my wife wanted to visit the Memphis Botanic Garden for her birthday, and somehow this place turned me into a calm, peaceful woodland citizen for a few hours. First off, the weather was absolutely perfect, which already gives nature a huge advantage. Then you walk the grounds and realize this place is legitimately beautiful. Ducks casually living their best lives, koi fish gliding through the water like they pay property taxes there, birds chirping, flowers everywhere, waterfalls and water features--it's like stress gets checked at the front gate with your $12 admission fee. And let's not overlook the fact that there were food trucks... and one of them was selling cocktails. Suddenly being outside didn't seem so unreasonable anymore. What surprised me most was how peaceful the entire experience felt. It genuinely pulls you away from the noise of everyday life and drops you into this quiet little zen mode you didn't know you needed. Also, if you're planning a wedding or outdoor event, this place is loaded with gorgeous spots that look like they came straight out of a magazine. Seriously, every few steps felt like another "this would be an amazing wedding photo" moment. When the weather cooperates, this place is hard to beat as a happy place. Even for people like me who normally consider "the outdoors" a temporary inconvenience.

If you haven't been in a while, get your butt in here and buy a membership. Then come whenever you have a free minute. It's like you aren't in the center of the city when you are here. An oasis, if you will... They have tons of different gardens with blooms that happen all throughout the year. I love the hasta garden and the big springtime daffodil blooms! There is also a very nice rose garden that is full of beautiful blooms all summer long! I love everything about this place! One of the most elegant weddings I have ever attended was held here! There was a freaking shrimp tree! Who has a shrimp tree!! Mary does, that's who!! Between the gardens themselves, the awesome event venues this place houses, and the killer live music stage that's also here. It has it all! They have done a great job over the years growing and making this place relevant and useful for the citizens and visiting folks. They have plant sales, plant exhibits, art exhibit, and so much more here! The Orchid exhibit is one of the coolest plant based wonders I have ever seen. I did not know there were so many varieties of Orchids in the world. Seriously.... Seek it out and go check it out!! All of the staff have been great! From the little old ladies at the desk, to the groundskeepers you run into. All super friendly and seem happy to be there. They even have Mempops here most of the time and I have seen some other small food truck type options here as well. '26 - 15

I sat at the bar, and my bartender did not miss a beat. Even though I was dining alone, she continued to check on me and made sure I was taken care of throughout the evening.

Her voice was both soothing and powerful, and when she started singing Tina Turner, all I could do was smile. What an incredible performance! Now, let's talk about the ribs! They were delicious, full of flavor and literally falling off the bone. The baked beans were good, although they didn't blow me away. The green beans, however, were a miss for me. I think they were trying to do too much with them; sometimes simple is better. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. The live music, atmosphere, and those ribs made this accidental stop well worth it.

The gentleman who was reading something behind the counter, stated that he could not assist me as the store could get busy at any moment?!?.
