Score context
Eight cited 2025–26 accounts discuss Sips bar visits; none identifies the separate Esencia tasting. Most praise creative drinks and often warm service. Others find drinks overhyped, prices high, or booking and table rules restrictive. One June 2025 guest alleges uneven footwear-rule enforcement and says the treatment felt discriminatory. Evidence comes from one review platform.
