Free Lunch Tomorrow

Posted by on Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 12:39 PM

A free lunch (of sorts) for carnivores/tuberivores: sirloin sliders (three to an order) and fries from the brand-new "Sip. at the wine bar & restaurant" downtown.

Sip. may be found adjacent to the main library at 909 5th Ave., and the freebies occur from noon to 1 p.m. tomorrow.

Sip. preexists in Issaquah and Gig Harbor. Sip.'s Seattle executive chef Cody Reaves has previously cooked in the kitchens of El Gaucho, Pacific Grill, and Sip. Issaquah.

Sip.'s motto is "Life’s fast. Sip slow."

How many blocks long will the line be this time?

That period in the name is awful. I'd avoid the restaurant on principle alone.

Please, small business owners: do not make the mistake of thinking that funny punctuation = branding.

That is a horrible motto. It's either grammatically incorrect or implies they have terrible service.

Free? Depends on how much an hour is worth to you.

I drove by that place today on my way into the office. It looks generic and I can only guess the food tastes generic. My guess is it's as mediocre as Purple, the other Eastside export currently peddling their over-priced food and wine in downtown Seattle.

Personally, I'd rather eat at the vegan restaurant in Fremont.

Count me as another who won't patronize a place based solely on the stupidity of its name.

What idiots. How are you supposed to have any word of mouth advertising if people either can't figure out how to use your name or are too embarrassed to do so?

There's a vegan restaurant in Fremont? The only place in Fremont that's kind of vegan is Flying Apron, but they're more gluten free/assy-tasting than vegan.

Also, this is a growing chain on the east side, not a small business. I believe this is their second or third location now.

This name goes up there with "Urbane." Its kind of patronizing. Like Seattle was just founded last year.

@11 - my vegan may not be your vegan.

But yeah, there is.

@14: so, Will, you've been caught out in another lie, then?

Silence Heart Nest is vegetarian/vegan. Which, with its awful name, creepy brainwashed hippie vibe, and nauseating paint scheme, explains why I have never set foot in the place.
