The food here was pretty good but the wait was super long just to be seated, they don't have many tables to sit so i believe that contributed to the long wait. The service could have been a lot better we had very few check ups and were asked to swap out things on our meal due to the kitchen being out then when we agreed things that were supposed to be apart of the meal were forgotten. If you would like to try i recommend maybe you will get a different experience

We came here on a whim after our first-choice restaurant had a long wait and I'm very glad we did! The food was very fresh and tasty, with large portions and a huge amount of variety. We were seated outside and were able to enjoy some nice weather while under the shade. The staff even went out of their way to bring out another umbrella as the sun moved.

Ahi Tuna Tacos & Steak Frites
Breanna V.

Presentation is always 10/10! Monday is Mule Monday! $8 (Includes Moscow, Mexican, Irish, & Kentucky) Our lovely waitress, Anahi informed us! Brought our 6 year old this time and he loved their Mac and cheese served with fries. We were a little upset about our Mac and cheese balls not on the menu BUT the Steak and Frites as well as the Ahi Tuna Tacos were amazing. We ate family style and everyone left full and happy!

I've been to Whisper House so many times at night to drink, but this was my first time attending for weekend brunch! Staff was kind, friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely killer! The short rib grilled cheese was heavenly and everyone else's meals looked delicious as well! Definitely worth it!

Jackie is amazing as always . Please ask for her when you go. We tried some new items tonight the ahi tacos ( loved the sweet chili dressing ... hot but not too hot ) and the rusty anchor . This was a new one for us but we are avid tiki drinkers and approved of this complex blend of different rums . Very yummy . Trying new things is awesome but please please please don't get rid of your waffle chicken sliders . The waffles here are amazing and my heart just couldn't bear it .

came here for brunch with a close friend of mine while grabbing coffee, we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious our food was. Usually i get disappointed from breakfast steak dishes but the steak egg Benedict was delicious. Needed to add salt but it was no big deal, and I'm not over how good the steak was cooked. we got the calamari to share and it was really good too, loved the breading--I haven't had anything that tastes like it. Very light and airy. My friend got the breakfast burrito and rated it a "7/10" only because of the lack of salt. but otherwise it was moist, well cooked and delicious. Our server Cynthia was a sweet heart. she took great care of us :)

Chilaquiles & ranchero Benedict
Sophia L.

Finally got a chance to check this spot out after passing by a few times visiting Mozwell. It wasn't too busy for lunch on a Saturday. Seated quickly and served quickly too. Opted for a mimosa kit vs getting out own flights. It was perfect. Now the food was delicious. We ate it up! Both the red and green sauces were great in the chilaquiles. I added chorizo and it was a nice touch. It's a tiny bit too dark in there, so I think more lighting would be good. Even those little touch lights on the tables. I would love to come back to try dinner.

Baked Brie dish

I completely forgot to take pictures of our entree dishes because we were so excited to eat! This place is a hidden gem at the Claremont Packing House. Tucked away in a corner, behind the BBQ restaurant, you'll find The Whisper House. We went in on a saturday evening and quickly found a seat at the bar. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. We ordered wine and the baked brie plate to start and it was amazing! The hot honey and buttery crisp bread were the perfect addition to the gooey brie. For dinner, we ordered the Mahi Mahi and Braised Short Rib. The Mahi had a wonderful crisp to it and the short rib was buttery soft. The portions are large, so we definitely did not have room for dessert. We need to go back for some dessert and after dinner cocktails.

Cool light fixture

The Whisper House is located in the Claremont Packing District. There is a large multi-story parking garage right next to the restaurant. You can make a reservation on Yelp, and they also have a Yelp live waitlist. We arrived around 3:30pm on a Sunday afternoon and were able to take advantage of their great happy hour deals. Seating options include the outside patio, at the bar, or booths and tables in the dining area. The ceilings are high and there are windows above which let in a good amount of natural light. We started out with a few appetizers and a round of drinks. Chips & Salsa ($4). The chips were fresh with an ok serving size, and just needed a little salt. The salsa was flavorful and had a nice light to medium heat. Fried Pickles ($8 during happy hour, normally $14). There were a good number of pickle chips that were fried nicely, and only a tiny bit oily. The ranch dipping sauce was a surprise as it had a little heat from added horseradish. I started with the Blossom from Oaxaca cocktail (verde mezcal, blanco tequila, lemon, pineapple, hibiscus, $15). The smokiness of mezcal has grown on me lately, but this drink was a little too smoky for me. I could also taste the lemon. If you enjoy a bold smoky mezcal cocktail, then you would like this. She had the Tiki Lychee cocktail (Don Q coconut rum, Giffard Lichi-Li liqueur, strawberry pineapple, Peuchaud's bitters, $14). It was very lychee flavor forward with pineapple at a medium level. It was actually pretty balanced with a light to medium sweetness. As always, bonus points for a nice shaken pineapple foamy top. We were still hungry so we ordered some more appetizers, and I had one more cocktail. Jalapeno Popper Wontons ($14). These were a good spin on traditional poppers. Diced jalapenos in cream cheese and fried in a wonton. They had a nice crispiness, and didn't fall apart like regular poppers often do. The sweet and sour sauce was pretty standard and was good for dipping. Grilled Artichoke ($14). The grilled artichoke was good, although it was a little strange that one half was big and the other half was small. The lemon aioli was good for dipping. Buffalo Wings ($10 during happy hour, normally $18). The wings were on the smaller size, but a very good happy hour deal for only $10. They had a good tangy sauce with moderate heat. I had one more cocktail, the Kong is King (Old Forester 100 proof bourbon, dark rum, Giffard Banane du Bresil liqueur, walnut bitters, nutmeg, $15). I have had several Forester bourbon with banana cocktails at other places which I really enjoyed, but this one was more old fashioned style. It was very bourbon forward with very light banana and walnut in the background. I enjoyed it but was hoping for something more balanced and less boozy. We had two or three different servers take orders and deliver food and drink, and they were all very friendly and everything was well paced. We would definitely return again, especially to take advantage of their great happy hour menu.

Always love coming down to Whisper House in Claremont. The wait is usually not too bad, and the cocktails are great. They had a Holiday Popup situation with special holiday drinks, but you can't go wrong with their old fashioned.

Claremont burger
Francisco M.

There's structure or street parking to get here. It's got plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are friendly and helpful. They made sure the table was in the shade while out in the sunny day. It's a chill and casual atmosphere. Great place for hangouts with friends or family. I got the Claremont burger. It was pretty good although not as warm as I'd expect it. The fries were the restaurant seasoned typed, which were great. I'd return to try out more of the menu.

Brunch menu 3/15/26

Finally had the opportunity to try The Whisper House for brunch. Has a speakeasy vibe with great service and a nice brunch selection. Had the Blossom from Oaxaca to drink at the suggestion of the waitstaff. As a margarita lover, this resonated as a margarita with a slight twist and was enjoyable. Decided on the breakfast sliders which came on a waffle that tasted freshly made, scrambled egg, bacon and cheese with a side of breakfast potatoes and syrup. A bit of sweet and savory that was what I was looking for. Overall a nice vibe and good breakfast.

Hawaiian French Toast
Jorge M.

First time trying this restaurant. I ordered the egg white omelette and the Hawaiian French Toast and they were both pretty good. Waiter was attentive to our party and food came out timely. The outdoor patio was small but nice and shaded.

Fried pickles (i chowed down before realizing I need a photo)

They've got indoor and outdoor seating and they seemed a touch understaffed for being a beautiful day. It was also a Tuesday lunchtime so maybe they weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was. We were able to prove the menu before we got seated. And our super friendly server came out and we were able to order right away. They've got a lunch special. That is a small personal pizza with a salad and we each got that. Salads came out first and I had the arugula salad, which was absolutely phenomenal. 10 of 10 would eat this every single day. The arugula was peppery and it was well dressed in a lemon vinaigrette type sauce. I am a fan of just plain lemon on mine, but this was delicious. My husband got a union salad, which is their specialty I guess. It's got colored carrots and some beets and some shallots. I thought the dressing was bland and it certainly needed salt and pepper. We asked for both and didn't get either. Our pieces came out and they were nice and woodfired. I feel like they could've been done just a little bit longer maybe a minute or two. The sauce was a lovely fresh type crushed tomato sauce. The cheese was nice and gooey and did not feel or taste like a package of processed cheese. Pepperonis were greasy, but in a real meat kind of way. I had to dab mine, but my husband just went to town on his. The pickled peppers is a pickled jalapeño. Big chunks of them. They certainly didn't skimp on any of the toppings. They were a little sweet and a little hot. Some of the big chunks were a little too sweet for my liking but overall, it was a nice flavor mix Also from a size standpoint, I thought the salad and pizza were very adequate for lunch at around $20 price point I asked for salt and pepper again as well as a side of ranch. This time we did get the salt and pepper as well as cheese and crushed red pepper. But we didn't get the ranch until we were leaving. The server did apologize and said he thought someone else was bringing it out but I pretty much deducted a star because we asked for a couple different things that never came. Overall, the service was super friendly, the ambience was nice for an outdoor lunch thought. I thought the menu looked delicious and there were several things I would like to come back and try and I would go back again.

It was so underwhelming. 2 eggs cooked differently, one over hard, one over easy, 5-6 potato pieces and the steak was thin, overcooked, and appeared to be a cheap cut of meat. A New York cut would have been great. Wife mentioned norms has better steak and eggs. Called and spoke with a manager Stephanie, not looking for anything, but to express disappointment in the meal for the high price. She offered to mail a gift card for us and invited us back. Took all of my information and never received it. Thanks anyway. Don't think we'll be back.

Unfortunately, there were a few disappointments during dinner. We ordered the crab cakes and were told they were unavailable. We then ordered lamb chops, which were also unavailable. Thankfully, the food we did receive was amazing and we were still enjoying our evening while waiting for birthday dessert. What completely changed the experience was when the manager, Destiny, approached our table and told us we needed to move to accommodate another party. We explained that we also had a reservation, were still eating, and were waiting on dessert. Instead of handling the situation professionally, her approach came off with an attitude and as though we were an inconvenience for not wanting to move in the middle of our meal. As a manager, professionalism and customer service matter, especially when guests are celebrating special occasions. Better reservation management could have prevented this situation entirely. Even other guests nearby seemed shocked by what was happening. Roger ended up apologizing on her behalf, even though he was not the issue. He truly did his best to save the experience, while the manager never came back to apologize herself. The food and our waiter were excellent, but the management experience was extremely disappointing and unprofessional.

Bar had two table tops and 2 people at bar besides us for a total of 12 people. When we sat down the woman bartender was directly infront of us. She didn't acknowledge us and I'd noted us for at-least 10 minutes while never being more than 5 feet away from us, her bar back never acknowledged us either. Easily could have ruined the night, but since we spent so much for hotel and it was NYE we just decided to leave, not letting whatever problems they were having become our problems. I have read all the reviews for the bar and the have an incredible amount of negatives which is surprising because the hotel aspect of it was amazing. We will definitely stay at hotel again and being that there are 30 restaurants within a block we will never need to experience the bar again. I don't like to leave bad reviews and maybe she was going through something in her life that was horrible but she did have other employees that could have taken up the slack and they customers inside lounge were families with 5 of which were children so it's mot as if they were overwhelmed making mixed drinks. Don't let the Lounge and Bar take away from the actual Hotel though, that part was incredible.

This was formerly Citrus Grove before it was taken over by the current owners. I enjoyed Citrus Grove just as much, and I am happy that Evolve doesn't make me miss it. My favorite drinks are their take on the White Russian and their White Hokkaido. The White Russian is special because they add pistachio, and it's just fantastic! The White Hokkaido is the matcha version, so instead of the coffee liquor, they use matcha, and it's delightful! They often have live jazz, which makes the place fun, though often on jazz nights, they require advance reservations or ticket purchase. Other nights are more quiet and perfect for a relaxed outing. They don't have any food, but there are often food vendors at the brewery across the way, and you can bring your own.

Be prepared for some dark humor. But be prepared to have fun. They honor all different types of celebrations. I would definitely say check this place out and give it a shot! Tons of fun!
