    Whiskey Cake - A look into our restaurant

    Let me start by saying that I always have and always will love Whiskey Cake. If there is one thing…read morethey are, it's "consistent". As expected it was pretty busy when we got there for brunch on a Sunday and were told it'd be a 30min wait for a pay off 2, but thankfully e we were able to find seats at the bar. Because the place was so busy it was a little loud but it was still easy to hear each other as we conversed. The food has yet to disappoint in the last 4 years I've been dining here. The chicken was perfectly fried, my French toast was moist, the deviled eggs were creamy, and the cocktail was delicious. We'll keep dining here and bringing our friends for sure.

    I had my best friend meet me here on Wednesday- Sept 9 for her 50th birthday lunch. I live in…read moreFlowermound and she lives in Forney so I picked a spot in the middle- mind you I've been here MANY many times over the years but she has not. I made a reservation in advance requesting a booth (since it's a tad quieter) so we could visit and have a nice long lunch having driven so far to meet up and celebrate. We were sat at a table - right next to a very large group and it was so loud we couldn't hear anything we said to each other, I asked the hostess why we were sat at a table and no effort was made to rectify the issue. My husband and I have both made reservations and table requests in the past and have never had an issue. The spot is usually held for us. And the hostess did say she saw my request on the reservation- apparently just ignored it. Then came our server. Bless her for trying but serving at a restaurant is NOT her gifting. She was very very slow to arrive (over ten minutes seated before she showed up) and she immediately got my drink order wrong, when I told her she just stared at me and grabbed my drink and came back with the correct one but a lemon and not the lime I requested. When I asked for my lime - she literally walked back with it IN THE PALM OF HER HAND!!! Three different times she removed food or drinks from our table without asking if we were done with them. She was never apologetic or kind when she made a mistake and really seemed very unaware of the "service" job altogether. My friend and I are overly nice to service people. I still tipped her very well! But the lunch was a disaster from start to finish and NOT the first time experience or birthday lunch I hoped to provide for her. We started with the goat cheese appetizer- it was good as always tho a tad too much garlic. My friend got the chicken melt after asking our server several menu questions and not getting clear answers. And I went with the turkey chili but it was too spicy for me so I took it home. The server asked if I'd like some additional chips to take home with it and never brought them. We have long loved Whiskey Cake and this wasn't a good look at all to have my friend as a returning customer. The server who brought out our appetizers was very lovely- and when she stirred the goat cheese for us and got oil everywhere, including on me, she apologized profusely. Mistakes happen- and her response to it was professional and kind. And THAT is the star I'm giving. She gets the star. The rest would be a very sad zero.

    We recently dined at Harvest for a Friday date night and I 10/10 recommend! Our reservations were a…read morebit last minute, so we didn't get there until 8:15pm, but this was kind of nice because the main dining room wasn't very busy. I love the dimmed lights and homey yet upscale feeling this place gives. We had a really amazing server who offered up some great recommendations as first time customers. She had only been there two weeks, but told us she went through a two week training prior so they know their stuff!! Don't be afraid to ask questions. How I would rate our meal: Drinks: I got the amethyst dream and he got the smoke haus. Presentation of both was really nice, enjoyed both drinks but would probably try something different on our next visit. Appetizer: we got the Caesar salad to share. Loved the croutons and the dressing. It seemed a bit small but possibly for one person it would be enough! Entree: I got the crispy chicken breast, the piece of chicken is huge!! All the flavors of the dish come together so well, it's truly one of my most favorite things I've eaten recently! We also tried a side of mashed potatoes which were good and my fiancé got the red fish which he enjoyed. It is pretty light though, so maybe wouldn't recommend if you're REALLY hungry. Dessert: we got the milk and cookies. I wasn't honestly too impressed. I think I expected them to be warmed and gooey and they were not. However reheating the chocolate chip at home was good! For it being a farm to table restaurant, I found the prices to be very reasonable! I already know what I plan to order on our next visit. Also looking forward to bringing some friends/family to the third floor for drinks and live music!

    Always a lovely evening dining at Harvest. The 3rd floor lounge has live music and the service is…read morealways attentive and personable. We enjoyed the corn hummus and paired it with the charcuterie board, which was plenty of food to share. Their cocktails are also delicious.

    We went here for breakfast on a Sunday. We arrived about 9:30am and the place was empty…read more The interior is very well laid out and attractive. There is ample space between tables so you don't feel cramped. There are TVs on the walls but it does not feel like a typical sports bar. The vibe is upscale and the restaurant was very clean. We started with the homemade biscuits and they were excellent. The proceeds go to charity so placing this order was no-brainer. The biscuits were light and airy, not dense at all. The jam and butter were the perfect accompaniment. Those biscuits are winners! Everyone should order and help the charity. I had the spicy chicken and waffles and it was excellent. The chicken was indeed spicy but the honey helped cool me off. The chicken was tender, the waffle was light but could have been hotter. If you order this dish, you will need a glass or two of cold ice water! The wife had shakshura and loved it. She got some toast on the side for dipping. The grits on the bottom were perfectly cooked. Her only complaint was the egg was supposed to be runny and it was firm. The kid had sweet potato pancakes but ended up filling up on the biscuits. Overall, food was 5 star and really enjoyable. The prices are very reasonable. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that our server, who was pleasant enough, was not very efficient. I am not sure what the problem was but her head was in the clouds. We would ask for something, she would say ok, and then she would disappear and forget to bring what we asked for. This happened more than once, more than twice, and maybe three times. It became a running joke at our table, what would the waitress forget this time? Other than spotty service, we liked this restaurant very much and we definitely would return if we are the Star District again.

    We came in for a midday lunch with a group of seven, and there were only a couple of other people…read morein the entire restaurant, so needless to say, it wasn't busy. Unfortunately, the service was underwhelming. Our waitress seemed very unenthusiastic and had a pretty "blah" attitude throughout the meal. We had to ask for water refills twice, and they still never came. One of our guests ordered chicken, and after waiting more than 40 minutes, we were told that it would take much longer. They ultimately never received their food, so we had to take it to go at the end. The food itself was also disappointing. The chicken was very underseasoned, although the batter was really well done. The mashed potatoes were particularly unappetizing and tasted almost like they were made with sink water. Overall, the quality of the food just wasn't there. I'd give the food 1/5 and the service 2-2.5/5. Unfortunately, not impressed and wouldn't be in a rush to return.

My friends took me here for my 60th birthday!! Outside of the perfect steaks and stellar service (a great big thank you to Brad our amazing waiter), the music stole the show!! They have this insanely talented musician who performs Friday and Saturday nights starting at 6:30 PM .. he literally has his stage on a landing pad halfway up the staircase with his own little music kingdom. One guy. Several instruments. Electric guitar and saxophone were played effortlessly. You can make requests, which adds to the fun! For example, "Sweet Caroline" was a song that everyone sang along throughout the restaurant lol. Then came something I didn't expect. This musician has made it his personal mission to play our National Anthem on Fridays and Saturdays 7pm sharp. Everyone naturally stood -up, the whole room joined in, hand over their hearts, so much patriotic passion and energy. It was truly beautiful to see people come together in that moment. And just when I thought the night couldn't get better, out came a birthday dessert .. a warm homemade cookie with ice cream and a real sparkler. It was a show stopper!! I haven't seen a sparkler since I was ten lol. Apparently, birthdays are a big deal here, because it felt like every table around us had their own sparkler birthday/ anniversary moment. It was hilarious ... and I loved it! If you're looking for a memorable experience or just a relaxing delicious meal, nothing compares to Texas y'all. TIP: they have valet parking! TIP: they take reservations!

We all know who it's meant for (wink, wink) but still makes you wonder if they'll give you a hard time just to eat there. We ordered drinks. My menu (which are huge) accidentally knocked over my full drink. Surprisingly, the glass broke from just being tipped over on the table which has a pad under the table cloth. Anyway, the waitress offers to bring me a new drink and cleans up the mess. We finish our meal and get the check. We received two bills. The main bill and a bonus bill for the replacement drink. WTF. Surprised they didn't charge me for the broken glass. So I paid for that too. Sucks for the waitress because the extra money would have gone to her tip as a thank you for cleaning up the spill. The valet is free but there's a code to use if you would like to tip. Sure, here's $10. Only it's not $10. There's a service charge of almost 30%. So now it's $13. Lord knows if the valet crew even see any of this money but who carries cash anymore? In the end, it's not the worse place to go but way too expensive and way too tacky to ever go back.
