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.

    We had a reservation. The hostess called our name. Apparently someone else was taken back to our table. No big deal. Waited a few extra mins then were taken back. Got sat. About 5 mins later the hostess said she sat us in the wrong seats due to a large party coming. At new table placed our order. Waiter forgot to add in soup. Was never brought. Overall experience was ok.

    We were seated on time however it took a while (over 20 minutes) for server to greet us and take our order; the food was delicious however fried green tomatoes were cut too thick so they were a little hard and the mimosas were wonderful.

    The hostess was a very personable person - just the sort of greeter you like to meet when entering a restaurant. The drinks were good and the service was adequate albeit a bit slow. Nothing moves too quickly here. The tri tip dip sandwich was very good as was the shrimp topped salad. The beet salad was too spicey but the waiter removed the charge - nice touch. The broccoli soup was not a “soup” but rather a mixture of veggies- not recommended!
