Almost that of a club, the servers were pleasant and quick , which I do appreciate. The food needs a big improvement , What I ordered Queso : which came out thick like a barely melted block of cheese. Enchilada trio : verde , plain chicken and queso The star of the show was the verde , it was seasoned to perfection with a little kick of spice. The other two were quite bland to me. Churros : while I could tell they were homemade , I think feel short in flavor.

We were immediately impressed when we went in; lots of dark wood and a long bar with shelves and shelves of spirits. There were mostly bourbons and whiskeys. They even had a rolling ladder so bartenders could reach top-shelf bottles. We had about a 10 minute wait for a table on a Saturday for lunch. The time went by quickly and we were seated at a small wooden table. Our server, Erin, approached us quickly and took our drink orders. I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband had the WC Old-Fashioned. It was made with Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon and he said it was quite good. ($13). For food; I had the Rooster Royale which was a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and hot honey BBQ sauce. It was $16.50, and one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Even the bun was delicious! I'd planned on only eating half; but I ended up eating it all because it was so good. I also had the homemade chips which were yummy too. My husband had the Reuben which was $19. He said it was really tasty and full of meat. He commented that it didn't get "mushy" or fall apart. He had the crispy potatoes as his side and he raved about those too. We really enjoyed our meal at Whiskey Cake and would definitely return. The only drawback I can think of is that they don't seem to have very many healthy lo-cal options.

We came here today for my goddaughter's graduation celebratory lunch. Having never been here I was…read morenot sure what the menu options would be or what to expect. First I have to commend Christina, who was our server. A table of eight, she managed us with such grace, professionalism, and outstanding service! With a constant smile on her face, she asked us open questions and was very attentive. Not once did I have to ask for an iced tea refill because she was staying on top of it! The menu, though short with options did have a creative variety. We all tried the cinnamon roll, which I have to say was beyond, and I do mean beyond outstanding. In fact, it was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had with the toasted pecans and the sauce. WOW!! I ended up with the pancakes and eggs, and the eggs were cooked perfectly! The pancakes were were thick and had good flavor. It was a little overcooked for what I prefer, but overall, it was very good. Looking at the other options of what friends were having the food looked amazing. I am not a bacon eater, but one of our table mates had a bacon dish that she said was phenomenal. I will definitely be back

The vibe was there and the noise was loud but I was still able to talk. Lots of people chatting in groups and a dj! The drinks were delicious but also was awesome it was connected to grape and grain! So it was a double win! Check this place out for sure

While reservations are required, Laura the owner , was gracious enough to let us get transported to this wonderful place you see here. First off, this place is everything! The details from ceiling to wall to all the fixtures, it's very immersive, you are in the islands sir or ma'am! Goodbye Jacksonville! We were seated up front where performer Kalani Rose set the mood and infused the air with her lovely voice. The tempo was upbeat, the volume was just right, allowing for intimate conversation and lively chatter alike. Great for date nights and group outings. We ordered food including Aloha Sliders, Huli Huli Wings , and Furikake Fries. Food was good, would've loved more of the glaze on the mini burgers tho! The drinks we ordered included Mai Tai (rum based w/ orange ) and Halekulani (bourbon with pineapple orange and lemon) , these were delicious. A bit on pricey side but strong! But, you're paying for the presentation and the atmosphere! If you've ever been to the old tiki lounge off baymeadows from years past, this one is much better! The entire staff is so cool. Like really chill. Hubby and I really enjoyed our visit here! I'll bring the ladies next time!

I wanted to see if any of the happy hour bar bites peaked my interest- and yes they did, until I found out my cursed allergy prevented me from enjoying most of the options. We ordered cocktails and the cheesy garlic bread. I cannot have their marinara sauce- that takes out a lot at an Italian restaurant. I did have my eye on the short rib, it came highly recommended. Cocktails- I had the happy hour Prati Mule with bourbon and then an old fashioned after- both were delicious, that old fashioned was made right. John ordered a beer and was very happy. John got The Godfather pizza, I went for that short rib. John's take- best pizza he has ever eaten! Whoa- that's huge. He's currently eating his leftovers. I was so excited for the short rib I missed that it was over polenta. I would have preferred mashed potatoes- but that just meant I ate every single carrot- omg, so yummy and almost all of the beef- again, perfectly cooked, great flavor and fork soft- hmmmm. I love a tender, forkful of cow. Next time, get a table and I'm going to try the scallops! Or maybe something alfredo. We'll see, but I will be back! Ooohh- management, you need more bourbon cocktails on the seasonal menu! I just missed the bacon bourbon cocktail- but the new one had none.

It can get a bit busy, but the amazing food and ambiance make it worth it. The staff is always incredibly sweet and truly makes you feel cared for. One time, my family came here with our cousin, who is autistic. We were seated in the back room, where the sound echoed and was a little loud. The manager approached us and offered to move us to a quieter area of the restaurant, and even offered to provide headphones for my cousin. It was one of the best experiences we've ever had at a restaurant, especially considering that dining out can be challenging if the environment is too overstimulating. I love seeing inclusivity in restaurants, and this encounter will forever be one of my sweetest core memories. Thank you, Prati!

You have to get the bruschetta as an appetizer. My sons and I had the soup for an appetizer and loved it. My wife had a house salad that was delicious with a homemade garlic vinaigrette. I had the chicken Marsala which was amazing with the house cab I was drinking and my wife had the chicken francese limone. Very tender and flavorful. My son had the lasagna and the other one carbonara with chicken added. They both loved it. The only slight complaint is it took quite awhile for the entrees to come out, the same thing that happened the time we went before. However the service from Joanna, the ambience and the incredible flavors from everything we ordered merit 5 stars.

From the moment we walked…read morein, the service felt rushed and indifferent--no warm welcome, no effort to make us feel like guests. It set the tone for the rest of the evening. Drinks were underwhelming and slow to arrive, lacking both balance and presentation. The food itself was disappointing: flavors were flat, portions unremarkable, and nothing stood out as authentically Italian or thoughtfully prepared. Overall, the service was basic at best orders were taken and delivered, but that's about where the attention ended. For a restaurant that presents itself as an Italian dining experience, it fell short across service, drinks, and food. I do not recommend and will not return.
