Whiskey Cake - Plano
4.7 (3990)
$30 and under
Contemporary American
Plano
Our menus are all about bold, seasonal flavors, using ingredients from the best local farmers, ranchers, and growers—because fresh just hits different. Behind the bar, we’re mixing up garden-to-glass cocktails with house-made syrups and fresh juices, plus a barrel select whiskey program that’s all about the good stuff. Whiskey Cake is where great food and good company always come together.

I’ve always eaten at this place, but I can’t say I’m a big fan of their updated menu. Love the deviled eggs, but I usually order a salad and they have significantly cut their options so I was a little disappointed.  I know their menu can change seasonally so hopefully it changes soon.

Entire experience was excellent. The atmosphere was calm and soothing in the best possible sense of the words. The salad a perfect combination of flavors with lovely lettuce at just the right, crisp temperature. Our medium rare beef tenderloin over roasted vegetables was sizzling-ly delicious. The wonderful bread was piping hot. The champagne was delicious and refreshing. Service was perfect, attentive, not rushed, professional, yet personal. Was a special evening.

Everything was great except the limited drinks. They really need to get a liquor license at this location. It’s OK for a work dinner, but I would never come back with a friend group or date night until they have good cocktails.

Overall, we are very happy that we came. We are return customers. The scallops and pea purée was very tasty although the pasta was undercooked and had somewhat of a rubbery texture. The shrimp appetizer was well executed and delicious! Ambiance was excellent and the open kitchen concept works well! We overall loved the experience!
