Dina M. Romay-Sipe - Owner
Dina Romay-Sipe was born in Toledo, Ohio and went to the University Of Cincinnati, School Of Architecture. She acquired her love of cooking under the guidance of her mom, a chef and a Registered Nurse, who was a great inspiration to Dina. Dina still practices design but on a smaller scale than in the past. She now incorporates her design skills into a way of life, in the food she creates, and the design in her surroundings. Dina believes in Tulip and in what Tulip strives to be. She works daily towards its success, and shares her beliefs in well-being with the staff and customers. Balance is a key principal of her life.
Jeff Sipe - Co-Owner
Jeff Sipe is from Hershey, Pennsylvania and moved to Indianapolis after Architectural school at the University of Cincinnati. Jeff takes care of the daily financial issues and accounting. He says his wife, Dina, has always been creative with her daily menus at home – It was only a matter of time before she opened a restaurant. We all work together for the success of Tulip.
Sam, Otto and Avery
Dina and Jeff's three beautiful children are the mental and emotional support for their parents. They are the biggest advocates in the success of the family business and their mom's endless hours of dedication. Sam waits tables and helps with updating Facebook, Twitter, and he types the recipes for the cookbook. Otto also waits tables and has become a specialist in Tulip's website and logo. All three are happy taste testers for each seasonal menu.
