   Whiskey Cake has been a favorite for a long time, but unfortunately it feels like something has changed in the last 6 months. What used to be my favorite dessert in the world, their whiskey cake, is now different, lacking the bite in the sauce on top to really set this dessert above all others. I don’t know if a recipe has been tweaked or new people are making this cake differently, but it has been 0 for 2 the last two times I’ve ordered it. I feel like the lights get darker every time I visit. There’s ambience and then there’s “tripping risk.” It’s literally so dark I need to wear my glasses I only whip out when I have to do night driving. And I’m in my 30’s, something feels off about that. Finally, we had a reservation for 7 pm and weren’t seated until 7:20. Receiving our cocktails after ordering took abnormally long and trying to coordinate how many whiskey cakes our table of 8 wanted just felt rushed and ended up not being correct. Sadly I’m not sure it’ll be the place we go to celebrate anymore.

   Had a reservation and still had to wait to be seated, but I didn’t mind too much. Took 45 minutes for our order to be taken (one of our party needed to leave early and was barely even able to receive her food) Our waiter actively avoided us and staff were excessively rude. We continually had to place menus and empty decanters at the end of the table to get any kind of service from staff. I had the chicken and waffles and it was the best waffle I’ve had in my life which is the only reason there’s a second star, but the chicken was mediocre at best. Honestly the experience wasn’t horrible, but for the amount I paid I expected far more.

   We’ve been to this restaurant on numerous occasions, and this was certainly not what we remembered. The charcuterie board was uninspired, with only one selection of cheese, two types of pork, underdone toast and more than half the plate covered with pork rinds. My pappardelle was good, though not served very warm. But my wife’s steak frites were bland, and for some reason they jammed grilled pepper slices in between her fries, which left them soggy. Overall, not the best experience.

   Whiskey Cake is one of our favorite restaurants in San Antonio. My only suggestion is for them to have more selections on the menu.

   Whiskey Cake - San AntonioResponded on January 19, 2023Marie, thanks for the great review! I am honored to be one of your favorite places. While the menu is a little small we try to keep it changing often... be on the lookout for some new switchups in February and a new menu around March!

    WC is our go-to for when we want casual dining with good food, service, and atmosphere. Hopefully prices go back down once inflation subsides; their customers deserve some pay-back for showing their loyalty.

    The guava gimlet, fried green tomatoes and Farmshuka were all so good, but Alexander was the real star. He was so friendly, made really good recommendations, and really knew the menu. He made the experience really great.

    Saturday brunch date. The service was astounding and the food was so good we wanted to keep eating until we were rolled out. The cinnamon roll was flavorful and not just a sugar bomb. The jalapeño biscuits did not need gravy as they were perfection on their own. The fried green tomato sandwich was cheesy and out of this world. The Shakshuka was herbal and spicy in a flavor not heat kind of way. And the bloody marys were the absolute best we have had outside of Nashville. We will definitely be back! Often!

    Whiskey Cake - San AntonioResponded on January 17, 2023Valeria! Thanks for this great review! I'm glad you loved brunch, the food, and the service! I'm confident we have the best team in town, thanks for giving them a shout out! On your next visit check us out for Social Hour! We have amazing drink and appetizer specials!

    This was our anniversary brunch, we asked to be sat by the window, which we were not, even though there were plenty of vacant tables available through out the time were were there. Our server greeted us, and seemed more annoyed to have a table than anything else. We started off with an appetizer (Brussel sprouts) which are normally amazing, but were extremely disappointing this time. They were hard and due to the fact that we didn’t have any knives on our table, we couldn’t even cut through them. We asked for the French press coffee and when she left it on the table, she said, “make sure you wait two more minutes before you pour this, and make sure to push the top down slowly or it’s going to burn you in your face” she proceeded to leave the spout pointing towards my face. No spoons to mix our coffee with, minimal sweetener on the table as well. When my wife stood up to grab us spoons from the shelf behind us, our server McKayla, walked right by us and never offered to help. We also ordered a bottle of champagne for mimosas and she never asked us if we needed anything else, another bottle, more juice…NOTHING. We ordered two entrees which were luke warm, at best, she did check to see if we needed anything after they were delivered, which we still lacked proper silverware. We managed to flag her down to order a whiskey cake for dessert and even that seemed like a bother to her. It may have been that we were taking time from socializing at the bar with the other servers. We asked for the check 3x before she brought it to us. Our tab was over $100, we ordered an appetizer, entrees, drinks, dessert, coffee…basically the perfect ticket. If we were secret shoppers, this would have been a major fail. She however, wasted no time picking up the cash tip we left her with ZERO thanks. ***I do have to give one shout out, the last time we visited WC, Jenni was our server and she was AMAZING! If you are lucky enough to have Jenni as a server, you will not be let down.

    We’re out and about and decided to go by for dinner. Did our reservations on line, as it can be quite crowded. Walked up, got our table in about a minute. Our server came by after a couple minutes and I got some suggestions for a whiskey. The whiskey of the week was already out on a Wednesday, but no matter. My wife got a guava mixed drink. He quickly returned with the drinks, which were both great. We ordered dinner and appetisers and they arrived quickly. It’s hard to beat their deviled eggs and mini sliders. Dinner was the rotisserie chicken which was nice and moist. Not sure what the vegetable was, but I didn’t care for it. My wife had the chicken and waffles and said they were the best she ever had. We grabbed a couple cakes to go. Waiter was friendly and helpful and we had dinner early so it wasn’t crowded. This restaurant is definitely going to be in our rotation.

    Whiskey Cake - San AntonioResponded on January 6, 2023Christopher! Thanks for the wonderful review! I'm super happy to be one of the places in y'alls rotation! We can't wait to have you back!

    Not my first time visiting WC. Was disappointed in wait time and how long service took. Food was not appetizing this trip. Made a reservation and still had to wait 15 minutes. Server was good but really slow because they had many tables to tend to. Didn’t have many items on menu and wasn’t informed until after ordering and then had to adjust on the fly. The pork chop I ordered was so fatty it was like chewing on bubble gum.

    This was a nostalgic visit for one of the people in our party, but unfortunately, it was a lackluster experience for everyone. Our server continuously forgot about us, and the expediter was yelling so loud that everyone jumped when he spoke. When we addressed it with the manager, she told us that’s “just how we do things.” On the food front, we are all not feeling well the next day, and we have all decided that some things are better left in the past.
