We serve up tasty farm-to-kitchen dishes and cocktails, all made from scratch with ingredients sourced from local and regional farms and markets. We use slow-cooking methods on our wood grill and spit and in our smoker because it tastes better that way. Come dine with us at our communal tables, in one of our booths, on our sofas or rocking chairs, or perhaps on the porch next to the fireplace.

    Everything at Whiskey Cake was just as amazing as it always is! We went for my graduation dinner and not only was the food spectacular, but the service and overall vibe was as well. Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name) was so attentive, sweet, and kind to our party of 10 people. She regularly checked in with us and never hesitated to get us anything we needed. My whole family loved each of their meals. We started with the goat cheese fondue and deviled eggs, and everyone enjoyed them! I got the chicken and waffles (what I normally order from here) and it was perfect as always! Of course we had to get the whiskey cake for dessert. That cake is so good it tastes like it came from heaven itself. The outstanding service, food, and atmosphere is what keeps us coming back here regularly!! We recommend Whiskey Cake to all of our family and friends. Definitely try it out, you won’t be disappointed :)

    Whiskey cake is always one of my favorite places to go, but this time wasn’t our favorite. We put an order in for the cake, and the server forgot. Not a big deal, but when I asked about it he acted like I never ordered it in the first place and it took an extra 20 minutes to get it. No apology, and stared at the screen while I was tipping. Not my best experience here.

    I’ve been here several times in multiple states. Quality, service, and timeliness seems to be on a downturn. Service was slow and I had to ask the bartender for a water before it was provided by the waiter, food arrived before our drinks, and one of the entrees was not very good.

    Ambiance, service, drinks and food offerings all good. Love the lower lighting inside and the whiskey cake was the best thing on the menu for this sweets/carb lover. Location is one of the best on Bay Street, right out there in the middle of things. Although we had an inside table, next time we'll opt for outdoor seating which gives more of a touristy feel...and today was breezy, nice temp and sunny. Perfecto!!! Definitely recommend and definitely will be returning.

    I always include a note to not sit near the kitchen or bathroom. Not difficult since we dined early in a mostly empty restaurant. The hostesses who seemed to preoccupied with their social lives must have misread the instruction and seated my wife in the one table nearest to the kitchen and bathroom. Second complaint is the lighting. Which table you are seated at determines if you need to take out the iPhone and turn on the flashlight to be able to read the menu. The elevated table next to us had an overhead light with seemed to spotlight their table in a mostly dark dining room? Service was fine, food was decent but our orders were impacted by the darkness. Not sure I would recommend unless your plan is drink drink drink? Better off at Rocco’s tacos or Cheesecake Factory or CPK!

    Brunch was soooo good! Started off with a mimosa that had fresh squeezed pineapple juice. Cinnamon role was fresh, and made to perfection. We also had the eggs Benedict. They were a lot different than your traditional eggs benedict, but I couldn’t complain one bit! The flavors were tremendous in every bite! Along with the fresh fruit which was fresh and diverse. Then lastly the bacon was thick cut not paper thin, and it was cooked perfectly.

    I’ve eaten there many times. Menu has changed - that was a bit of a disappointment. Food was good but not as exceptional as it used to be - quality seems to have decreased. Service was ok but had to ask for things several times and it wasn’t busy. Brought 3 people that had never eaten there - not sure they’ll be back. Value was a bit overpriced considering the quality.

    Many items on menu are very good. However, Cheese board not worth getting. They ran out of cheese but didn’t tell us prior to bringing out, just put all same cheese on, some spicy cheddar. It says it has Veggies and it was only cauliflower and 2 pepperoncini. Will definitely go back just never get cheese board again.

    We were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food--everything we had was very good, and very fresh. Service was also good. It is a little loud, but then it does have a lot of bar areas, and one group sitting near us was REALLY enjoying themselves. But it was still a very good meal and we will definitely return.
