Whiskey Cake is an award winning farm-to-table restaurant, offering signature New American comfort food with a farm-to-fork mission. The approachable menu locally sources as much as possible and will feature innovative appetizers, slow-cooked meats and freshly caught fish, along with the infamous whiskey cake for dessert.

The large central bar pays homage to great whiskeys with an expansive list of variations. A menu of cocktails features creative concoctions of local spirits with fresh ingredients, evocative of beverages served at a pre-prohibition bar experience.

The contemporary design of reclaimed architectural elements creates an environment that is comfortable and inviting, an ideal spot for dinner after a long workday or a lazy brunch on the weekends.

    The reservation was at 7:00 on a Friday so I didn’t expect for it to be a little bit more crowded but all the tables were spaced nicely. I did appreciate the hostess not sitting our table in the back area with a large party. Very sweet! The food was good!

    If I could give a the service 10 stars, I would. Our waitress, Amanda, was amazing!! She was attentive, gave good recommendations, and very friendly. It’s sometime hard to find good service but Amanda really went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent experience and a great dinner. We will definitely ask for her the next time we eat at whiskey cake.

    Food was excellent, service was wonderful! My husband ordered the crab poached eggs and he loved it. I ordered the farmers breakfast and the grits were delicious as well as the potatoes. Of course, we had to order the whiskey cake and it was absolutely delicious!

    Always great food great service and great atmosphere. BUT what happened to the ribeye on the menu. So disappointed because that’s what we always order. Was bummed it wasn’t available. Other than that food and drinks were amazing.

    I've visited Whiskey Cake many times and have always enjoyed it, but tonight was a bit disappointing. We dined as a party of 7, and upon being seated, the hostess asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. I mentioned that we were celebrating my son's birthday, as he's home for the holidays from the Army, and she said she would note that for our waiter. It took longer than usual for the waiter to attend to us, but that wasn't an issue as we were enjoying each other's company. Of all the meals ordered, two members thoroughly enjoyed their chicken and waffles, but the two orders of rigatoni were salty as were the fries. Additionally, we noticed what appeared to be smaller portions than usual, despite paying the same price. When we inquired about this with the waiter, he apologized and said he would check with the kitchen but did not follow up. As a result, we didn't have a chance to address the salty food. Furthermore, my son's birthday went unacknowledged, which was a bit disappointing, especially since they asked about special occasions. While I didn't expect anything extravagant, I did assume it would be a simple acknowledgement to make him feel celebrated. Overall, this experience was not up to the standard we would have expected from dining at Whiskey Cake.

    Hi Marjorie, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your recent visit didn't meet your expectations. We apologize for the longer wait time and any inconsistencies with our portion sizes. We also regret any oversight in acknowledging your son's birthday. We strive to provide a memorable dining experience, and your comments will help us improve. Please reply, so I can try and figure out how to make this up to you. Id love to get you back in here. Best, Carlos GM

    Food was mediocre. Rigatoni dish was tasteless. Noodles were drowning in sauce. Sauce had no flavor. Maybe that wasn’t the best item on their menu. I thought maybe I could venture off on to something I haven’t tried but that was a mistake. To drink I had their speakeasy margarita but that was also a mistake to order because it took 15-20 minutes to get one. I gave it another shot and ordered a second one but shame on me because it was still a 15-20 minute wait on it. Waiter blamed the bartender said this that and another. Honestly sometimes we don’t want to hear blame on others. Just make it right and do better for the customer experience. The only item we had that was delicious was the goat cheese fondue.

    Hello April, thank you for visiting. Also thank you for your honest review. I apologize for the Rigatoni not being what you expected, and I had hoped after visiting with you offering you anything else on the menu I could fix it. If there is ever a time you want to come in and enjoy a great meal and catch up with a fresh Speakeasy, please let me know. If you can reply to this and let me know if I can have another chance at making last night's experience much better, please let me know. Thank you again. -Carlos GM
