I do not write reviews lightly, but credit must be given where it is due. Sips and Stones has an incredible staff and the food is absolutely top shelf. We celebrated a very special occasion and we were not disappointed. This was my first experience at this establishment and I will be returning no doubt. Come support a great local business.

Lovely atmosphere for a date night or even a girls night. Upscale feel with sharable plates and a great drink menu to explore. Really enjoyed this place!

This place has great food and excellent drinks. The bartenders are very friendly. I recommend visiting here.
The place is beautiful on the inside. I had a bad experience last year, but this time was Def a much better time. The little snack foods are ok, a bit pricey but you pay for the atmosphere.

We went here on a Friday evening. Fairly full, but had a few open tables. We had several plates since this was our first time here. The service was great. Our server brought the food out in stages, so we didn't have it all at once, which was smart. We started with the chicken flautas (4 per order). Not overpoweringly spicy, mild, very good. Next, we had the Classic Fries. The garlic/parmesan drizzle made a nice compliment to the fries and the tomatillo salsa was a surprising compliment as well. Next plate was the shrimp tacos. I am NOT a fan of any fishy taco, but these were the best I've ever had. I would probably order them again they were so good. We ended with the King Crab Dip, which is served hot and takes about 30 minutes to prepare. Again, very good. Drinks: I started with an Old Fashioned, which was good; however, it was in a glass full of ice cubes. Many times they are served with one big cube, but generally not a glass full of ice. I can't recall the other drinks we had, but they were all very good. It is a very nice, small place inside. Well decorated. Since we were there on a Friday, it was a bit noisy. Music a bit loud. Ignore the baseball cap dress code thing; not enforced (not me!). Nice to ask, but it's Indiana. People aren't walking in here in suits and sport coats. Definitely would like to come back during the week. Great little place.

This place is great for drinks and small plates of food. Our waitress was fantastic and the food was excellent. Will def be returning.
We tried 4 cocktails and they were all good. Key lime martini was the best! Atmosphere was warm and cozy. Our server was very helpful and pleasant to talk with. We will definitely come back to try more small plates. We tried the meatballs, which were on special that evening and they were delicious.

Drinks were good portion sizes were small, definitely not shared plates. Nice atmosphere and energy. Good for a random stop.

This place is an amazing gem!!! It has the vibe of a cool upscale haunt while still being grounded. There is a nice outside seating area with a posh boho aesthetic. As soon as you enter, you're instantly transported. The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, and the wine and spirit selection was A1! Colleen and Karen were so fluid behind the bar and very knowledgeable about the menu. They suggested great dishes to pair with their imaginative cocktails. I hope that this is the future of NW Indiana's F&B industry! Will definitely be returning.
