    Yummy juice
    Gloria S.

    Well thank God they changed their menu! It's like normal now and not in need to be translated. Took out lots of sofa seating but still had a couple we enjoyed. Was only going to have drinks but you know how that goes The Chicken was amazing, all the drinks alcoholic and non were perfect. French fries came with lots of dips but my favorite honey mustard was not available Had to get dessert, they only have one and it's of course whiskey cake. Server felt bad I couldn't eat it and gave me some nuts with whip cream Def returning now

    We went to Whiskey Cake for Father's Day Brunch. I'm glad we were able to snag a last minute reservation cuz it was jam packed! When we checked-in, there was a 2hr wait! Located in La Cantera and adjacent to Perry's, it's a large location but parking can be a bit tricky at times. It's loud, so don't come here if you're looking for quiet and intimate. More or less a hang out, kick it with friends kinda vibe. By the door, they have chewy caramels that you can nosh on while waiting for your table or to grab on your way out. Maybe we did both? lol they even sell some small apothecary type stuff as well. Ok let's get to the food! We got the crab cake and the colossal cinnamon roll to start. The kids loved the colossal cinnamon roll. Perfectly balanced with a toffee sauce and spiced pecans. Husband wanted savory so he got the crab cake. It's not Maryland style but it uses gulf crab and a mustardy-seed mix. He and the eldest really enjoyed it! Me, I liked the pickled onions and frisée. I got the steak & eggs hash with a sunny side up egg and medium steak. The steak was just right and had a good flavor. The shishito peppers could've used a touch of salt but they were a good contrast to the crispy fried potatoes, which were large chunks by the way. If only I could have a whole saucier of the avocado hollandaise . It was delicious on the potatoes and the steak! The shrimp and grits were definitely diff from the version we had last year but we liked it! Very vibrant and fresher tasting! The eldest had chicken and waffle. Comes with 2 tenders, 2 eggs your way (she chose sunny side), 1 waffle, syrup and creamy sausage gravy. I normally don't care for sausage gravy but this was NTS! The youngest had the kids Macaroni and cheese, which comes with your choice of 1 side (we chose green beans). We were pleasantly surprised to see it also came with carrots, which she happily ate. Like and crunchy green beans with a creamy and cheesy Mac! Servers don't hover and there's plenty walking around if you need to grab someone's attention for something. I'm gonna miss this establishment when we move back to the east coast

    Woodinville Old Fashioned
    Emily A.

    It had been several years since my last visit to Whiskey Cake, and this occasion made it especially memorable as I was dining with a longtime friend of 16 years. Our conversation centered around old fashioneds, the craftsmanship behind various whiskeys and bourbons, and even bourbon-cabernet pairings, making for an enjoyable and engaging experience. One of the highlights of the evening was the manager, who was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and eager to share insights about whiskey flavor profiles and selections. His expertise added tremendous value to our visit, and I left having learned quite a bit. For appetizers, I enjoyed the crab cake, which was delicious, along with the local goat cheese fondue accompanied by sourdough bread, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. These paired beautifully with the Woodinville Old Fashioned I ordered. A special recognition is certainly deserved for the manager. His professionalism, etiquette, and genuine hospitality were outstanding and elevated the entire experience.

    Bar seats were great!! I had a fantastic Pineapple Mimosa!! &. Guava Gimblet!

    Fantastic find!!! Was sat right away at the bar! Our server was very attentive & sweet! I had 2 pineapple mimosas!! The whiskey bacon is a must have!! You have to have the fried green tomatoes, fantastic! The steak Frites was amazing !!! It's a must have to visit I definitely recommend and will return as soon as possible. Nice open format beautiful ambiance!!!

    Chose this place for a graduation brunch for my daughter and it was the best choice ever:) It was excellent. I was able to book our table on OpenTable. We were seated right away. The service was great and these dishes were delicious! Talk about food coma after. Everyone found something they liked and it was a good time with family and friends. Will definitely be back:)

    Deviled eggs
    Melissa D.

    Came for lunch. I love the Cellar/ distillery style decor. Very cozy The restaurant is rather large and was quite empty when we came for lunch. Maybe the staff had a lot of ground to cover but our server was a bit slow. Everything we ate was delicious. Deviled eggs. Brussel sprouts. French onion burger. Chopped chicken salad. Whiskey cake. All of it came to about $80 before tip. I would definitely come back

    Tavern Burger
    David R.

    I love whiskey cake. Every location I've been to has been pretty consistent with service and flavor. I got the tavern burger with fries and it was a great solid burger. Ordered Rotisserie Farm Bird as well for the misses and she loved it. Tried some of it and chicken was cooked perfectly. We ordered whiskey cake for the table, and that is the best cake I've ever had. So so good! If you go, please get the whiskey cake. Promise you won't be disappointed.

    Brunch sandwich with crispy chile-butter potatoes
    Brian B.

    Got to visit whiskey cake with my family for the first time to celebrate Mother's Day early. We went for brunch. Since it was still early there was plenty of parking, especially since it is a mall parking lot. We had a reservation for 1015 and the place already seemed full. I really enjoyed how the restaurant looked on the inside, especially the bar area. I went for the brunch sandwich to eat. The sandwich was good, but very sloppy. It fell apart as I was eating it. I wish the bagel had more flavor. The potatoes that came with it were great. I definitely plan to make it back to try their lunch or dinner menu.

    Hangover Burger
    Jacque M.

    Very quick wait time, attentive waitress. Ambiance is nice, cool set up. The food was mostly good- fun flavor combos. The mimosa wasn't great though it's almost like the juice or the champagne had gone bad- but - overall it wasn't a big deal and I still drank it. Would like to come back and try other things!

    Charcuterie Board

    I had a great experience at Whiskey Cake! Celebrated a friend's birthday during the holidays. Our group was huge, they sat us at a high table in the middle of the place, it was a great vantage point to the kitchen area. It was chaotic but exciting. Our waiter was phenomenal although I cannot remember his name unfortunately. We tried all kinds of things on the menu! Such a flavorful and unique menu. I got the salmon dish. It was a tad overcooked but I still enjoyed it. Overall enjoyed my time here, would definitely recommend! Oh yeah, they have valet! The parking lot is ginormous so plan accordingly lol

    Salmon w/couscous
    Taara H.

    I came back to update my review as I've been back to here to Whiskey Cake 2 additional times and have been THOROUGHLY pleased with the amazing food and service! Most recently I returned for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday and we both enjoyed the amazing food, delicious pressed juice flight, and top notch service!!! Shame on me for not remembering our servers name (blame perimenopause!!!), but the Seattle native made the lunch magnifique!! I really LOVED the pressed juice flight!! I am a huge fan of pressed juice, but always have a hard time selecting just one. This allowed me to sample them all and find a new favorite! All were good in their own right, but my list from #1 down: Little Pink Drink, Ruby Slipper, Jessica Wabbit, and Hulk. I had the hummus for appetizer (again) and loved it just the same!! Went for the combo of chicken chopped salad and turkey chili and was perfectly satisfied for a lunch portion. I actually couldn't finish!! Surprised the birthday girl with a whiskey cake and ice cream - yum. Yum. YUM! Will definitely have to make another visit sooner than later!! Whiskey Cake is knocking it out of the park!!

    I cannot count how many birthday dinners and brunches I have celebrated at Whiskey Cake and that alone tells you everything. This is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. The atmosphere is chic and industrial with a bar that feels like a cross between the Beauty and the Beast library and a Hemingway era study. Edison bulbs antique furniture and warm wood tones make it feel like you have stepped into another time. Every table is candle lit which instantly creates a cozy old world vibe that never misses. The food always delivers and it is rarely the same twice. Our server shared that the menu changes about once a month and many ingredients are farm to table and locally sourced. You can taste the difference and I love that it supports the community. We started with the deviled eggs which were exactly how a deviled egg should be. Creamy balanced and topped with a small frite that adds the perfect salty crunch. I ordered the Guava Gimlet and it was spectacular. Bright citrusy and tropical all at once. A true gem. I had the fish and chips and they were everything I hoped for. Fresh buttery fish in a beautiful beer batter with lemon and malt vinegar. Crispy well seasoned fries sealed the deal. My husband had the salmon with mushrooms greens and a creamy sauce that completely elevated the dish. The real star is the Whiskey Cake. Always available and always unforgettable. Texture flavor lighting and yes even a little drama. I cannot recommend this place enough and I hope you love it as much as we do.

    Five of us Waited a half hour for my cocktail. Asked. Didn't come They said there was a large party and the bartender was backed up. Food was good. I loved the snap peas with whipped ricotta. And then a salad. Wish I could have come back for the peas again. The whiskey cake dessert was worth naming the restaurant !!!

    Saw this place on Instagram and thought it was decorated so cute that I just had to check it out…read more Arrived on a federal holiday so I wasn't surprised that there was a short 25 minute wait. We were seated with someone who was training and the waiter was very sweet. We ordered our coffees and meals very quickly. I started noticing tables of 4-5 people that say after us getting their meals which I found odd but nonetheless the waiter checked on us. Our food arrived 35 minutes after we ordered, which I found odd considering what was in the plate. My daughter loved her waffle which was great. I ordered the Box St Brekky, which was not. The bacon was so overcooked and dry that my teeth couldn't even puncture the meat, I managed to eat one slice that was on the softer side. The sunny egg was coated in another type of oil that wasn't vegetable oil. The brussels sprouts were alright but again very dry and left another after taste of just more oil. I had to leave 75% of my plate behind because it was just nauseating. I think this dish needs to be revisited. The trainer came over to see if I wanted a to go box and I said no, because the dish felt covered in oil. Within minutes the manager came over to get in on us which was fine, but I didn't ask for a refund or to make a scene, just telling her I'm not taking the plate. I paid the training waiter for the full meal and still gave 20% tip like the empath that I am, shouldn't have. Then the trainer came over to ask if I wanted the bill, I politely told her that I already paid. Then she asked if I wanted a to go cup for the lattes that I was literally still drinking as she came over. I made it a point to look around the restaurant as if to say is there a wait to get in, is my time up? I asked her, "can I not finish it here?" And she said yes. Smh. I overall felt the establishment was totally one of those Instagrammable restaurants and not one of quality food and service.

Portions are huge too, and for the quality you'd expect to pay way more than you do. But the real reason I'm writing this is our server, Ryan (the guy with the cool hair). He was fantastic. Genuinely warm, super attentive, and kept checking in and apologizing for any wait even though the place was slammed for brunch. Found out he's fairly new and you honestly couldn't tell. He made the whole experience. Management, take note. This guy's a keeper. We'll be back!

Not really festive for us 4 girls dressed up as I thought we'd sit by a window but we made the best of it. Kenzi was our server and she was bubbly and my friend told her she looks like "Taylor Swift" and Kenzi said she gets that a lot. The birthday girl and another friend arrived early, before me and my other friend so they both ordered appetizers and drinks. One ordered a beet/radicchio-arugula/goat cheese salad and a mocktail and the other one ordered a wedge salad and Espresso Martini. My friend shared her beet salad and it was delicious! We all ordered the Pork Chop Special and I ordered a 15 oz. Prosecco. They have 2 sizes: 5 oz. and 7.5 oz. When our entrees arrived we dove right into them. I haven't had it in a long time and this version is now slightly sweet, smoky and caramelized all over which is nice! It came with a side of whipped potatoes and applesauce. Of course we all couldn't finish it so we took our leftovers home. A couple of friends even ordered Pork Chops to go for their hubbies. One friend orders the Pork Chops from Seasons 52 and she was impressed with this one as well as the deal! She also scarfed on the bread and was raving about it but ate so much before the Pork Chop arrived that she was a little full! Kenzi came by once in awhile so we just poured our own waters from the carafe we set aside on the shelf behind. She took it, though but came back later to pour more. For a bday dessert choice, my friend ordered the trio of mini desserts so we could all try them. Nice little bites after a heavy meal. When we paid, Kenzi accidentally put my bday friend's Pork Chop on mine and added the bday salad and drink on my other friend's tab when she was supposed to pay for all of the bday friend's meal. Kenzi apologized and corrected it. She might have been overwhelmed by the volume of people? Restrooms are clean and fully stocked with supplies. We used it before we left then went to the front to have photos taken. When I asked the hostess/check-in area, where there were 3 female employees, one female employee said "Sure" yet one female just looked away dismissively which I thought was odd. I just had a questionable feeling because we were sat in a corner and then the female turning her head away felt like she was ignoring us. I know they're busy seating people but this was already 2:45pm. I think the male employee with a grey suit who was behind the station standing there may have been the Manager saw no one stepped up so he offered to take our photos. He had a friendly attitude and thanked us for coming in. Duly noted...

We were seated by the kitchen. I thought it was bd a bit noisy but the kitchen staff was quiet which allowed us to enjoy our meal and conversation. The waitress was very nice and observant.

No tiger table dod he stop by and greet. I guess they were wealthy and when we left he didn't even tell us thank you for coming or acknowledged us as he was standing near the entry table by the door. Just a mental note my friend and I noticed. I think it's important to treat the janitor the same way you treat the CEO! Being kind to all goes a long way!

    We both had the KG Cheeseburger and fries on a weekday afternoon for lunch. The burgers were very…read moregood, but it would have been nice to have a smaller option; we could each only eat half. The fries were absolute crack! I am absolutely anti-french fry, but these were amazing! i.could.not.stop.eating.them. Service was adequate, nothing to complain about really; everyone was nice and helpful, but really distracted and the conop here seems to be you scan with your phone for the menu and for the bill... but it's not intuitive and unless you eat at restaurants like that regularly, it's disorienting. My father with his hearing aids was not bothered by the music, but it was too loud for me; i had trouble hearing the wait staff and in conversation with my dad. Not going out of my way to eat here again, but if i was at La Cantera for another reason, it would be an option.

    I usually do not post after having a negative experience but oh well, here we go:…read more We were hoping to try out Ding How for Christmas Eve dinner but the wait was just too long for our kids. We decided to head over to Kona Grill at La Cantera instead. I made a reservation just to be safe and we checked out the menu on the way over. Upon arrival at 6PM, it was pretty empty and got seated a little earlier than our reservation in a large booth as requested, good start. Once we sat down we noticed how dirty the seats and floor were. No biggie, it was probably very busy earlier. Apparently, we were given the wrong menus but they matched what we saw online. While we were giving our order for what we already thought was overpriced selections, our server tells us we had the wrong menus and handed us special Christmas menus. We'll, after taking a few minutes to look it over, what we noticed what was a much smaller menu, with everything priced about 15-20% higher, for the same items. Huh? They had one Kids item, a $19 Turkey Plate and the lowest priced items for adults was the Sushi starting at $22. All of the apps were $25 and up, including the regular sized, and underwhelming Calamari. The menu was marketed as a special, limited time menu, but seemed like simply a limited, higher priced menu. My wife's Margarita was $17 and filled to the rim with ice. Just not a good value at all. I got the Steakhouse Burger and again, very underwhelming for the price tags of $29. My sons Fried Rice was $34 and was not a shareable item. If we knew this was the menu, we would have just waited at Ding How. My reservation did not mention the special menu and neither did the website, from what I saw online. Guess you live and learn...and I learned just to wait for what you really want. It was a blessing to be together and to afford a dinner like this. Times are are hard and we do not take it for granted at all. We appreciate the staff that we're working on Christmas Eve and hope they were compensated a bit more based on the higher priced items.

    I took my daughter to lunch here because I wanted to use my Hilton surpass CC credit. Since this…read moreresort was just recently taken over by Hilton, I had to check it out. We arrived kind of early for lunch, I think it was around 11:30a on a random weekday. The parking lot was kind of full but I found a space. Make sure to inquire about getting parking validation, as my license plate was recognized by the parking service company even though I didn't get any kind of paper ticket. The menu was clubhouse fare, nothing too fancy, which was fine. We shared a Caesar salad, which they split for us into two bowls. The bowls were high sided like soup bowls. Not ideal but it was fine. I really liked the cornbread croutons, and I'm usually not a crouton eater. For my meal I got a cheeseburger with upgraded sweet potato waffle fries. I think my daughter got a grilled chicken burger, I can't recall. Service was great as we were the only people in the restaurant for a while. Or crazy about the country music pumped right at us, but I guess they think that's the kind of music that should be played for the setting? Overall a decent experience and I'll be back for my next quarterly Surpass credit.

    I had the loaded fries with shaved ribeye and swapped regular fries for the sweet potatoes. It was…read morea very filling dish that you probably won't finish on your own. Plenty of cheese, pico and meat on this dish and the crispy waffle fries complement the salty with some sweet. The service was a little slower with lots of golfers hanging around after their rounds.

    Great place! Yard House is the perfect combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a…read morevibrant atmosphere. The menu is very diverse -- from burgers to seafood -- and everything I tried was really tasty. I especially want to highlight their huge beer selection. They even have classic German Hefeweizen, which was fresh and perfectly served -- a great choice if you enjoy quality wheat beer. The atmosphere is lively and enjoyable, making it a great spot for both hanging out with friends and having a family dinner. Service was fast and attentive, and the food came out quickly even though the restaurant was busy. I'll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

    I always give credit where it's due, but unfortunately this experience fell well below…read moreexpectations. We were celebrating a birthday, and what should have been a special evening turned into a frustrating experience because of the service. Our server was rude and dismissive throughout the meal. I understand everyone has off days, and normally I would leave it at that. However, what was even more disappointing was the manager's response when I brought up the issue. Rather than taking the concern seriously and making any effort to improve the situation, he seemed more amused than concerned. The server's name started with an "R," which may help identify her. I do have her full name now. More importantly, management should determine which manager was working on July 20 around 7:15 PM because the lack of professionalism from both the server and the manager reflects a much larger customer service problem. Looking at the restaurant's ratings, it's hard to believe this was an isolated incident. The manager's reaction made it clear why so many guests leave disappointed. Good restaurants know that service recovery matters just as much as the meal itself. A sincere apology and an effort to correct the issue would have gone a long way. I hope ownership takes this feedback seriously and provides additional customer service training. Guests spend their hard-earned money here and should feel valued, especially when celebrating important occasions.
