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.

    Came here the last 3 years for Valentines Day, and usually great but maybe they changed management. Hour wait for our food which is understandable on a Holiday but the waiter never checked up on us, and the food came out cold. They were also forcing everyone to take their dessert to go I guess to turn tables faster but this really must cheapen the experience. 0 stars if I could

    Our waiter was the highlight of the meal & experience! The let down was the food, took longer than normal but it was Valentine’s Day. The chicken & cheese was nothing like the original version, this one was dry and lacked flavor. The meat & cheese board was 1/2 the size of the original one they use to do and didn’t have anything spectacular one. We passed on dessert because we’d already been there for 2 hours. Kudos to the waiter who did an amazing job with service, might give y’all another try because of him.

We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration as we continually strive to improve our dishes. We're glad to hear that our waiter made a positive impression on you. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

    Man, this place is just awesome! Obviously, everybody comes here for the whiskey selection – the cool vibe, and the outstanding service. As usual, this visit did not disappoint! Even though it was a very busy valentines night, our server (Bill) was attentive, and very knowledgeable about both fare and drink! Whether it’s a special occasion, or just come in for the appetizers after work… Whiskey Cake is a great call!

    This place is great! They seated us immediately when we showed up for our reservation. The server was very friendly and informed about the menu. The food and drinks were delicious and the whisky cake was to die for. We will be going back.

    We had 7:30 reservations on a wednesday evening for a birthday celebration. My husband ordered a beer from the drink menu. The waiter said they no longer serve that beer. He and my daughter ordered a different beer. when the waiter brought them he said it was the bottom of the tap so it was mostly foam but that he would comp them. We ordered fish and chips-they were out of it. we ordered brussels sprouts. it was mainly shavings and sunflower seeds and a few whole brussels. very disappointing. the food we did end up getting was delicious but overall we were disappointed that they were limited on what they had so early in the evening. Thank goodness the whiskey cake was delicious as usual. Hopefully this was just an off night because we really like. coming here.

    Thanks goodness for the whiskey Cake! Sorry to hear about this visit, sounds like there are some opportunities to turn things around. Give us a call next time you'd like to make a reservation and we'll make sure everything is perfect. Including a hearty Portion of brussels sprouts on us!
