The chicken capris is absolutely delicious, and the staff there, especially our server, was incredibly kind and welcoming.

“Sip Wine Bar stands out as a unique and memorable spot in Old Saybrook. What makes it truly special is Derrik, a certified Sommelier who brings a rare level of passion and expertise to the table. He doesn’t just recommend wine—he creates a tailored journey based on your palate and interests. The opportunity to taste reserve wines is a standout feature and adds a level of exclusivity that’s hard to come by. Derrik’s skill in pairing wines with meats and cheeses is impressive and turns a simple tasting into a full sensory experience. The menu is clear, inviting, and easy to navigate, making it approachable for all levels of wine knowledge. Whether you're dropping in for a casual glass or diving deep into the world of wine, Sip delivers something far beyond the ordinary. A fantastic addition to the Old Saybrook scene—Sip isn’t just a place to drink wine; it’s a place to enjoy it with intention.”
