Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar

Is the regular menu available during brunch hours?

Yes

Is the patio pet friendly?

Yes it is! For all animals, not just service animals!

Do they have a vegan menu? It says vegan options but I don't really see anything, besides a salad :-/

Seems like they have no real vegan options besides maybe some salads. I don't know what that other answer to your questions is the guy didn't answer your question at all. Does he know what vegan means? All he did was list meat items? What an idiot.

How is HH? What kind of specials do they have?

On Friday Nights $5 old fashions

Is dog friendly?

Yes, but you must sit outside with your dog. They have a roof as well.

What are the ladies night deals on Wednesday's? Half priced wine? Anything else? How does it work during happy hour? (Website is really slow and maybe malfunctioning so I can't get the information there)

Half priced wine is all night whereas their Happy Hour is only until 6pm and then again from 9p-11p. I haven't ever had anything additional offered for Ladies Night other than wine in all of my visits which is a bummer

What time is brunch served?

Sunday's from open until 3:30 PM

I asked for a drink recommendation and she gave me two great options. I chose the Tres Cucumber and it was amazing. Refreshing, not too sweet, and perfectly balanced with a clean cucumber flavor. My husband ordered the Old Fashioned, which was also very well done. We shared the fudge brownie for dessert and it was rich, moist, and elevated with just the right hint of espresso. The atmosphere is comfortable and versatile. It works just as well for a date night as it does for a girls night or a casual meet-up with a friend. 10 out of 10.

We ordered a few sampler platters for appetizers, as well as oxtail, antelope and ostrich for the mains as we wanted to get a taste of everything. There was nothing that didn't taste amazing! This was the first time we tried camel, kangaroo, antelope and ostrich. We were surprised at how flavorful each of them and the other items were. The adventure was topped off with a slice of the most amazing key lime pie, courtesy of the chef. We will definitely be returning!

I ordered the Coconut Seafood Stew, and it was incredible, rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. It easily ranks among my top 20 favorite dishes I've ever had.

A more upscale, modern design would better complement the quality of the food and create an even more memorable dining experience.

This restaurant definitely aims to please. I was being very specific about what I wanted for my ribeye steak tonight; waitress Jessie was awesome and listened carefully to my requests. And then to make sure that I was absolutely happy, she brought Chef Kenneth to the table to discuss what I was looking for. Kenneth returned from the kitchen with three beautiful-looking ribeye steaks and we discussed which one would give me the best dining experience. He does some of the butchering himself so he knew exactly what I was looking for. I ended up being served the most fabulous Wagyu steak I've had in a very long time. Unlike the other steaks that can have a seasoning on them, the Wagyu is just salt and pepper and then is served with a beautiful compound butter slathered all over it. They make that butter in-house and it has wine and shallots and bone marrow and other wonderful stuff. Trust me, it's amazing! I ordered extra on the side and poured that all over the top of the steak. Delicious!! Sometimes little things count and it was served with grilled onion that was tasty. I could have had a side of mashed potatoes or asparagus, but I decided to treat myself and try the mac-n-cheese instead. Half of that food was my lunch the next day, so I left enough room for dessert, where my choice was the apple pie bread pudding with cinnamon roll ice cream. That was nice and moist and I enjoyed it. Overall, this was a really great dining experience and I'm so glad that bad traffic gave me the excuse to come here. Will definitely plan a return visit!!

Our experience was disappointing due to the way we were approached by the manager. We had simply…read moremoved a table in bar area and instead of politely explaining the situation, the manager came over and told us we couldn't because the table cost $5,000. While we completely understand wanting to protect expensive furniture, the tone and delivery came across as rude and made our entire table feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. On the other hand, I want to recognize our waiter, who was excellent throughout the meal. Raymond was attentive, friendly, and did his best to make us feel comfortable again after the interaction with the manager. His professionalism and kindness were the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, the food also fell short of expectations. In particular, I would not recommend the mussels. The flavor was unpleasant and left a very bad aftertaste, making them one of the least enjoyable dishes we ordered. Good customer service isn't just about enforcing rules--it's about how those rules are communicated. Unfortunately, the manager's approach, combined with the disappointing food, overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.

Buzz & Bites - Katy

Another pleasant surprise in what I'm going to arbitrarily designate as a brunch fusion menu…read more Firstly, it's a very nice layout. Tables are well spaced plenty of room eight crisp environment really just a very comfortable ambience. The services superlative from the moment you walk in in which you are immediately accommodated to the server who takes an order and then the servers who serve the food which is not necessarily one in the same. It's simply a very efficient service system and very pleasant if you're a customer. You get warm food. In my case I had hollandaise with Salman underlying it, which was very good. The eggs were cooked perfectly the hollandaise not by any means obnoxious but a very deliberate Irving and a wonderful salad, which both underlines the egg and is served as a side with the eggs, which were perfectly poached. In so far as the buzz is concerned, there are wines and beer available and really quite an extensive menu in both. I enjoyed a beer with mine, which I know it sounds like an odd combination, but it worked quite well for me. Really this is a wonderful addition to Katy options for breakfast or brunch.

I have lived near this establishment for almost 2 years now and have never tried it. So today we…read moredecided to give it a try and it was worth it 100%. They serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday until 330. The brunch menu is huge. It is not a super large menu, which I feel very endearing. We decided to try the bagel and lox with cream cheese, the Buzz burger with fries, and their homemade chips. They start off by bringing you this beautiful craft of bottled water. That to me was an amazing bonus. We also ordered two sodas which came in a can. I sort of wish it was a more of a fountain drink than one can of soda for the price. *Now service was super slow. However, the waitress did come and tell us that they are running a little behind and she apologized for it and she was super sweet, so that made up for the weight. How do I known how long it was going to take, I don't know if I would've stayed, but in the end, the food was amazing. The burger was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend is a hamburger snob and he kept saying how good it was how fresh it was and how perfectly cooked it was. They serve you shoestring fries that feel like they're double fried and they were phenomenal. My bagel was toasted perfectly and had a very good amount of cream cheese and lox. As a Jewish girl living in the area that I do, it's very hard to find good bagels with lox and cream cheese. I will most definitely be back for this sooner than later. The homemade chips took quite a while to come out, and at one point I was ready to say we don't need it, but these potato chips beat Buccees beaver chips, 100%. They were super fresh and very crunchy and tasted amazing. I will definitely recommend those to anybody that orders some. My boyfriend then ordered a tropical sunrise smoothie and it was so tasty and tasted like a strawberry banana smoothie. Now once again that did take a long time to come out and at one point, we were wishing we had not ordered it but once we did get it, it was really good and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is not very large and it's the perfect brunch spot for anybody looking for a smaller Cafe with very good choices.

Let me start by saying I've been here multiple, multiple times & I've never had any food items that weren't good. I always get breakfast (even if it's lunch time) so I don't know much about the lunch items. Not only is the food outstanding with a creative twist, it's consistent. Over the years, the place has expanded several times so now there is a decent amount of dine-in seating in addition to the outdoor seating. The place still stays packed but with their text ahead wait for list system & efficiency in seating customers, if there is a wait things move along smoothly. Additionally, anyone who is waiting knows it's worth the wait!! The service staff are friendly. The atmosphere is homey & they decorate for the various holidays & seasons. Owner/chef Lori is always walking around asking guests if everything is ok. On at least 2 occasions she happen to chat with me/my guest about some dietary restrictions & she whipped something up for us to try. My go-to dish is the harvest breakfast where you can pick 4 breakfast items from a list. This is a great way to sample more menu items. Here's my take on some of my favorites: - Sourdough pancakes are thin & really delicious. - Belgium Leige waffle is very sweet with the pearl sugar "nuggets" in them so taste them before you add a lot of syrup. - Scrambled eggs are well seasoned, not bland. - Avocado & tomato or the fresh fruit are nice light touches as one of the side items choices. - Fried chicken tenders are really good. Spice level 3 (medium) is not that spicy. It's flavorful. - Grilled chicken tenders are good. As much as I typically eat grilled or baked chicken, I allow myself to choose fried for these. - Grits are creamy. I get them with no cheese. I'm not a big grits person but I do like these! The menu is very extensive. It includes vegan, vegetarian, keto & gluten free. Is the breakfast a little pricey, the answer is "it's all relative." Sometimes it's just worth paying for a great meal. In case you haven't gotten the message, Harvest Kitchen is a must try. Do yourself a favor & have a visit. I'm betting it will stay on your list as a repeat eating spot!! Tips: - Use the text message wait list & signup before you leave your house. - You can always get 1 pancake on the side for $5.

They did a nice job decorating the place and you definitely feel as if you're in Japan somewhere. 4. Food - This is where this place shines compare to all the ramen places in Houston. They have the option of low sodium broth. I took one sip, and it felt like home cooked Ramen. I'm not talking about instant ramen that you buy from the store, but the ramen made from scratch. I often go to ramen places in Houston and I dread going because I know how salty they taste. There are 2 other locations I have in mind in Houston that are also my favorites. But I would say this is not bad compared to the bowl of ramen I had in Narita, Japan. If you're wondering what I've ordered, it was the CHICKEN RICH RAMEN and make sure to request for low sodium. 5. Cleanliness - Dining area is well kept, clean, and the busboy is on top of things. The restroom is questionable. The personal restroom doors are hard to close and lock.

One of the top 5 WORST dining experiences I have had and I dine out a ton. Without any exaggeration... I invited 7 friends and a toddler to dinner. 1. They don't take same day reservations according to them. 2. Open Table allows you to make same day reservations but not for more than 4 people for this restaurant. Restaurant said to call ahead an hour in advance so we did. Got there at 630 and they seated our group after about 10 minutes...on the patio with the sun straight in our eyes as they don't have shades. One fan that points the opposite way to tables that are in the shade. Server was nice but so overwhelmed. To a point where we had to ask for water and ice to 4 different people to actually get some. Our cups were empty for 20 minutes in the blazing sun. Drink orders came out in sessions for the first round. Our appetizers came out before 2 drinks and they offered to take them off the bill. Server didn't take our food order for another 20 minutes AFTER the apps came out. Food is decent obviously. Place is "cool" (don't sit outside in Houston weather) Because of all the mistakes and time, server said we get free dessert. We asked for 4 whiskey cakes. Bill comes out after 20 more minutes...the drink is still on the bill and 3 whiskey cakes are too. We mention just the drink as it was Macallum. The server takes it back and brings it back. First bill was $323. New bill is still $323!?!? I had it and take the bill and ask for the manager. Hostess brings one back. I tell him the drink is still there and the free desserts aren't free. He takes it and says he will fix. Then Natalie comes to the table with my bill already run and says she took the free desserts and the one drink off. Asks what happened and says she had no idea about all the struggles. Gave every excuse in the book and said they shouldn't have large groups on weekends. Says she saw us sitting in the sun with sun in our eyes but thought we wanted to sit out there?!? She did ask if I wanted some appetizers removed from the bill. I looked at her like ...you already charged me and we all just want to leave. She said Next time, come in and ask for her and she will take care of us. Next time? You offered me free desserts anf charged me, you didnt do anything but make excuses and kept rambling on. You lost our business and my friends are all local here. I enjoy taking my friends out for nice evenings. This was horrible. read more

Unfortunately, my experience at Whiskey Cake was disappointing enough that I won't be returning. While there were a few highlights, the overall meal left a lot to be desired. Let's start with the positives: the drinks are fantastic. Our party tried the Persephone (pomegranate basil), Guava Gimlet, and Bohemian, and they were all delicious. If you're a Bloody Mary fan, they've got a good one here. We started with the Candied Bacon and deviled eggs. The bacon was sweet and spicy, served in a cute little skillet, and the deviled eggs had a unique Caesar twist--both were solid appetizers. But that's where the good stuff ended. The Dutch sandwich was bland and underwhelming. It needed stronger cheese and at least some salt and pepper to bring it to life. The mustard seed ketchup was interesting, but my fries had a strange sweet syrup-like substance on one side (likely from another plate), which was unappetizing. My friend's fries didn't have this issue, so it felt like a kitchen mistake. The avocado toast was soggy, and the hash was just... meh. Nothing memorable or worth ordering again. Dessert was the biggest letdown. We ordered the cinnamon roll and the namesake whiskey cake. Both were room temperature, as if they'd been warmed earlier but had cooled off by the time they reached us. The flavors were decent, but the lack of warmth made them feel stale and disappointing. Lastly, our waiter, while friendly, had dripping wet hands every time he brought us a drink. It was off-putting and made the experience feel less professional. Overall, the drinks and apps were good, but the main dishes, desserts, and service issues overshadowed the positives. I won't be coming back. read more

I came here with my boyfriend for my birthday. We wanted to get an appetizer and decided on the deviled eggs. Our server then told us they would be topped with apple chutney, barbecue pulled pork, and raw cheese and I'm thinking,"did I hear that correctly...?" but we kept an open mind and didn't question it. They ended up being AMAZING. Who knew that apple chutney and pulled pork went so well together? Let alone on top of deviled eggs! That's what I think I loved most about this restaurant - is the originality and thought that is put into every dish. Everything was so fresh and our server was very informative and attentive. I got the OMG burger and it did not disappoint! My only complaint is that it was so difficult to eat! They should cut the onions a bit thinner. To finish our meal, we got a slice of fresh pumpkin pie and my boyfriend got a whiskey cake to go. The pumpkin pie was phenomenal! It had fresh pumpkin pureé and bourbon whipped cream and it wasn't sickeningly sweet. I tried some of the whiskey cake and it was good, but just not the right dessert for me. read more

Came here for a dinner meeting after work that a pharmaceutical company had. Three of us from our office got there early and decided to try out the happy hour specials. Drinks were great (Diet Coke for me, but the other girls liked whatever it was they got) we ordered the in-house made chips with the dips. Oh my goodness the chips are to die for !!! We could have stayed there at the bar all night. The meeting started and as expected there was a set menu. It's appropriate for this sort of thing. With all the things on the menu there could have been better choices on the set menu but that falls on the company hosting the meeting I would guess. Food was "ehh" mediocre. The group we had wasn't that large but it just wasn't hot. Maybe they waited on the to all be cooked them all and brought out together. I will go back with the girls from the office because the menu surely has some things we were hoping would have been on our set menu. Maybe if it's not a larger party we can get hotter food. If nothing else we can just sit through happy hour ! read more

We stopped by Whiskey Cake for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive, making for a smooth dining experience. I ordered the wood-grilled steak salad, which tasted great. The veggies were evenly mixed, and the roasted tomatoes really stood out, adding a nice depth of flavor. The steak was cooked medium-rare, just as requested, and the portion was absolutely ginormous--I couldn't even finish it! Of course, I couldn't leave without their infamous sticky toffee cake, and it lived up to the hype. The bourbon anglaise, spiced pecans, and house-made vanilla whipped cream all came together perfectly. The cake itself was soft, gooey, and not overly sweet, making it an absolutely amazing way to end the meal. Overall, Whiskey Cake is a solid spot for a satisfying lunch with generous portions and great flavors. Would definitely return! read more

So this is really 3.5 stars but I'll give them the benefit and round up. The atmosphere is cool. Feels casual but nice still with rustic touches and industrial light fixtures. As the name indicates, great selection of whiskey and bourbon. We started with deviled eggs and candied bacon. Both were delicious. I had one of their mixed drinks and it was also very good - a pineapple something or another. I had the short ribs and they were very good. My complaint is that the carrots were very crisp, barely cooked. Our whole table felt similarly about the vegetables- carrots and green beans were barely cooked and much too crisp. The Gouda Mac and cheese was just okay. The kids meals were served on these big red plastic trays. Nice that they have a kids option, but the big red trays felt like we were at a Denny's or a cafeteria. Overall good food, but some room for improvement. read more

Excellent in every way - atmosphere, service, food. Great for families. Kids love the Mac n Cheese. We have had every appetizer and sometimes just get the appetizers like it's a tapas dinner, never moving onto entrees. Some of the favs are grilled mussels, deviled eggs, duck wings, local board. The salads are equally incredible. Most are enough for two. Great combinations of flavors. Also feature gluten-free buns for sandwiches and we substitute those for the beautiful bread served with some of the appetizers Bar is also top shelf. Try some signature cocktails like the Tennessee Stud. Loved that one. read more

Whiskey Cake was chosen due to it's excellent food and drinks. We missed our reservation at 7pm. It was our fault. lol At about 845pm we we're able to be seated.

I visited Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar on a Sunday for brunch and was pleased to find ample parking available. Despite a wait time, the experience was worth it. The drinks were exceptional, and the appetizers were truly outstanding. While the main dishes were good, they didn't quite reach the same level of excellence as the appetizers. The service was attentive, contributing to the relaxed ambiance of the place. And of course, the highlight was the whiskey cake, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, a satisfying brunch destination with room for improvement in the main dishes. read more

2 stars for the manager....I think she is. Other than that it was an awful first and last experience. First they gave our table away and literally said "oh, you weren't sat?" than sat all 6 of us at a 4 top. Servers were literally putting their butts in my back to get by. Finally we got moved once I asked manager but from there it took literally 20 minutes to get another drink and I had to have someone FIND our server. Lastly, she took 10 minutes to figure out how to split a check & got it wrong twice so we settled and paid just to get the hell out of there. Never again!!!! read more

All of the staff are following proper safety guidelines by wearing masks and maintaining a respectable amount of space between the guests. Our hostess was very welcoming, professional, and seated us quickly despite it being a fairly busy night. Our waiter followed suite and provided excellent service throughout the night as well. I unfortunately couldn't catch their names, but the hostess had sleeve tattoos and our waiter had Pokemon pins on his uniform. Make sure you try the "Chicken & Cheese Melt w/ Tomato Basil Soup" on your next visit! I'll definitely come again 5/5. read more

Oh my goodness where do I even start !!! The decision to go to whiskey cake for lunch today was the best one yet! The lovely Hostess Bella was so sweet and helpful when getting us sat and honestly I wish I could just go on and on about our waitress Kim!! she was phenomenal, such a doll!! She recommended the Pie Old fashioned I believe, SOOO goood, the candied bacon appetizer was to die for, the chicken and cheese melt was just the perfect choice she helped me make for my entree. Thanks again Kim and whiskey cake we will be seeing you both soon!! read more

Ariana at WCK in Katy, TX, was absolutely fabulous! She embodies the perfect blend of attitude and appreciation for her role, representing WCK wonderfully and providing diners with respectful and attentive service. Her knowledge of the menu and options was impressive, and she addressed our questions without the usual 'let me check and get back to you' response that's so common with others in her generation. My meal was exactly on point! Keep an eye on Ariana--she's young but has the 'right stuff' to excel in her hospitality career! Five Stars! read more

My wife and I had a delightful brunch experience at the restaurant. The food was truly excellent, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented, while the attentive service added to our enjoyment. The pricing was quite reasonable, making it a great value for the quality we received. However, I did find the noise level to be quite high; the lively atmosphere of the sports bar and grill undoubtedly contributes to that. Overall, it was a lovely outing, even with the vibrant hustle and bustle surrounding us. read more

This is a cool spot. Nice diverse crowd of families, couples and those too cool for school. The menu is compact yet adventurous enough to not get bored. Less is more. I highly recommend the turducken meatballs and of course the whiskey cake. Our server, Kara, was fun and attentive. Management was present and welcoming. The only small gripe I have is the coed restrooms. For guys, it's really a non issue but ladies might not appreciate certain men's lack of aim if you know what I mean. read more

Whiskey Cake offers a trifecta of excellent dining experiences: cleanliness, attentive wait staff, and scrumptious food. The restaurant is spotless, providing a comfortable atmosphere for a meal. The wait staff are friendly and efficient, ensuring a seamless experience. The food is an absolute delight, tantalizing the taste buds with every bite. I will definitely return and highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. read more

But since I'm a big fella and the review must go for the overall experience I must say that I was not happy with the seating on the inside very uncomfortable for a larger fella in fact I couldn't even fit inside the booth and that was quite embarrassing so now be looking forward to a Planet Fitness reviews coming soon read more

Just go! Order anything. I just moved here and have been there several times and every time I go it's amazing. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. Burgers are amazing, the local board is great. Their deviled eggs change each week, I think and they're always creative and delicious. And the Whiskey cake dessert is ridiculous. I'd starve for a week to just eat that! read more

Great service! Great whiskey cake. No the best whiskey cake ever!!!! Been there three times now. It's a bit pricey but the experience is good. So the four star is from your hostesses. Maybe feed them or fire them. They are slackers, insincere and possible hungry as they always seem so lost. Otherwise if you can get past that it's a nice experience. read more

The atmosphere here is lively, the bartenders and servers remember everyone, and people are happy to be out and in their community. From the bar, you have to try the El Pepino, their version of a spicy cucumber margarita. At once refreshing and delicious. From the kitchen, everything we've ever had here was fantastic, but I especially recommend their steak. The cherry on top here was the treatment my wife (a vegetarian) received when ordering a slightly nuanced modified salad. She wanted the Jalapeño Chicken Salad with the chicken substituted for avocado. Not only did they happily serve her that, the kitchen staff came out to the bar to personally confirm she was alright with the other ingredients because the jalapeños were fried using eggs. You just don't see that kind of service at restaurants these days. If you're reading this, do yourself a favor and go to Anthonie's.

We started off with some great appetizers: note - most of these were off the menu specials for that night. Texas wagyu Thai meatballs - 10/10 - amazing Croquettes - 10/10 - crispy and delicious Shrimp and burrata -10/10 - nice combination Drink: the red sangria was 10/10 - so refreshing! Entree: I ordered the halibut special. The halibut was buttery with a nice flaky crust. It was accompanied by mashed potatoes with a chorizo cream sauce. This was outstanding!!! They should really make this part of the regular menu. I 100% recommend it if you hear it on the off menu specials. Side: Mac and cheese and we added a lobster tail - 9/10 - was super tasty. Desserts: Spiced rum bread pudding - 10/10 - this is THE only dessert you need to get. Key lime pie - 7/10 - good Coconut cream pie - 9/10 - I thought this was very yummy! It has a cool country vibe. We sat outside and the live music was great! The only thing is that it is very hot, so if you don't like that. I recommend sitting inside. Service was a 10/10. Our server, Steven, was awesome. He had some terrific recommendations and everything was spot on. Def recommend trying this place out.

We arrived and sat outside due to having a dog, beating the small waitlist they had of people wanting to eat inside. Feels like it gets busy there so be prepared to wait (they don't take reservations). The interior and outside areas are clean and simple, ordering was also fast too. Our server was attentive and quick, although she did make a remark asking if one of our party was sure they wanted to order as much as they did. Ignoring that, ordering was smooth. We got their pancakes, French toast, a side order of bacon, side order of sausage, and ranch omelette with biscuits and grits. Everything was good but the standouts were the pancakes and omelette that were very filling and hit the spot. Not many brunch places can be consistently good across all dishes but Toasted Yolk certainly was. It's convenient, relatively cheap, and good food. It's a great way to set yourself up for a good rest of day shopping in the nearby area (which is exactly what we ended up doing.)

Our server was excellent, very friendly and attentive. Portions are big, even for the kids meals. I ordered the classic French toast and would say to skip that. It was soggy and mostly tasted like plain eggs. The texture and taste just wasn't it. I ended up sharing my husband's pancakes instead and those were really good. I tried the hash browns that came with my husband's meal and the hash browns tasted weird too so I'd also recommend skipping that. The menu is pretty big with lots of options and prices are standard. Overall I'd be open to coming back and trying other dishes next time.

I sat down to a table sticky with syrup. I had to request it be cleaned and then clean my arms and phone. I then ordered the tri tip with a salad, medium rare. When I unwrapped my silverware it was stuck to the napkin as it was also covered in syrup. The meal came (not the salad) and I saw my dried out, well done slices of beef. Once my salad finally arrived, I sent the meal back requesting it be cooked as ordered. The manager came by (super nice woman) and apologized. The waitress then came back (also a total sweetheart) and apologized, stating the meal would be comped. I explained that wasn't necessary but she insisted. Then the new meal came. It certainly wasn't overcooked this time. In fact, it wasn't cooked. It was lightly seared on the outside but raw and cold inside. Thanks for the offer of a free raw meal, but I chose to leave and go somewhere else.

We had two problems which is why it got 3 stars: 1. Our reservation was for seven and at 7:25. We had to go ask when our table would be ready and the reservations were made a week in advance 2. we were there for a birthday (2 couples) and we wanted the table side smoked old-fashioned so we ordered it and our waitress who is new didn't bother to tell us that it cost extra to get the table side. So they brought us the plain one from behind the bar, so we kind of missed out on that experience. Since it's $5 more expensive to do a table side, you would think that they would push for that to raise the overall bill for their tip. But her excuse when we mentioned it was "oh, you didn't ask for that. Its $5 more" Well, we didn't know we had to ask for it, thats not mentioned on the menu - we just thought it was part of the drink... but other than our waitress being inexperienced... it was a fantastic evening and we would still return.
