We just stopped here for a quick drink and bite while waiting for our table at a different restaurant, and we left very satisfied! This is a cool place with a classy yet approachable vibe. It seems like a great place to eat solo, on a date or to catch up with a friend. This was a fantastic bread bowl! We got so many different types of bread and a nice side of whipped butter. We were expecting so much bread but were pleasantly surprised. Drinks were elegant and delicious! Service was nice and pleasant. Definitely planning to come back soon

A perfect evening out. The gentleman who greeted us at the door was so genuinely friendly, and it set the mood for the entire evening. Excellent cocktails, great hors d'oeuvres (beer-battered artichoke hearts), and excellent steaks that were so tender and flavorful that they didn't need any seasoning or sauce. A lovely stuffed potato as well. Lisa was a gracious and attentive server.

My daughter dragged me here. And thank goodness for that! I have never had a better time. The service was outstanding. The food was non-pariel. I felt so special. I recommend everything! Especially the bartender Chapel. He makes absolutely awesome libations. You need to come here. I know that I’ll be back.

We went on the coldest night of the year and it was freezing in the booths. We moved to the bar by the pizza stove and I was able to take my coat off! While food menu is limited, everything was tasty. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and above and beyond efficient. Would certainly go again for drinks and heavy appetizers.

Ordered 2 tequila drinks and the spicy pear vodka drink - all very good and nicely presented. Our waitress was amazing - knew when to stop by. Food was really good - spicy chicken, nachos and artichokes - all great dishes - perfect for apps and a drink with friends. Atmosphere was excellent but maybe not so dark? But maybe that is the point of the type of bar.

Started the night with whiskey tasting and that bartender sure knows his whiskey’s. Can get you a little tipsy if your dinner is to follow. Now for the food, everything served was exceptional minus the steak. The seafood was well presented and tasted great. The soup was simply fantastic. I could have had another serving. The steak unfortunately was very rare, and not medium rare as requested. While I still enjoyed the steak, unfortunately I had to cut away the blue rare sections. Overall was an enjoyable dinner and btw the staff were great. Very attentive.

Service was really slow and we had to send the shrimp back. The shrimp was terrible. Everything else tasted great though. Nice ambience just really surprised the food wasn't better.

It was our second time at Whiskey and we decided to bring my mom who was in town visiting for a quick bite and some drinks! For food, we ordered the Nashville hot chicken bites, wagyu flatbread, wagyu nachos, and the shrimp and grits. All so good!!! We fell in love with the wagyu nachos during our first visit and they were just as good as the first time. Highly recommend trying them out! I really enjoyed my Nashville hot chicken bites. I liked how it was a dry rub instead of sauce and loved the spice! I ordered the pear kamikaze for a drink and it was amazing!! I'm into sweeter drinks and it had the perfect amount of sweetness. Will definitely be ordering this again! The service was wonderful too! Our server Lisa who was our server the first time we went was very sweet and attentive with us. The kitchen messed up on one of our orders and she let us keep the incorrect pizza while the kitchen made another one. She also guided us through choosing drinks based on what we typically like in a cocktail. The ambiance at Whiskey is great - the leather booths and the dim lighting give the place an upscale and intimate vibe. Highly recommend coming here for some yummy food and drinks! Perfect place for a date night too!

This is a cute date night restaurant, a place to get drinks or just have a small bite. The service is always outstanding! We got the shrimp & grits, wagyu nachos (our favorite!!), Nashville hot chicken bites and a bbq pizza! All the food tastes very rich and flavorful. The only food we wouldn't get again was the pizza, which wasn't as good as everything else. This place does taste high quality, though. Note: They automatically add a 20% service charge to your bill, regardless of party size. They do validate your parking! They did mess up our order(put sauce on the pizza) but admitted to it when they brought it to our table. They let us keep the pizza and made us a new one. Most restaurants don't do that, so I was glad to see how nice they were, and they didn't charge us for two pizzas! Great service

Wow this place is terrible in every aspect. They don’t respect reservations. We made a reservation in advance and they gave our spot to another party who came right before us so we were forced to wait for 20 minutes.Also the food is terrible - the steak was tough, the truffle dressing in the salad just didn’t work and the pizza was burnt. The drinks tasted very bland. Also the waiter forgot our order twice, brought out the wrong food and then brought us the correct order 30 minutes later.The restaurant itself is very crammed and cold. There’s a lot of tables that face the shopping mall so you feel super exposed.Avoid this place at all costs

Went here last week on a whim and made it just in time for happy hour. They have an extensive liquor menu, especially as you would imagine, the whiskies. I tried their Manhattan on HH that was very well balanced along with their wagyu nachos also on HH. Both solid and can't really complain. The bartender was super chill and so was everyone else there really. Plus, I really enjoyed the dark, moody atmosphere here.

It was good times. Awesome Manhattan. Delish bites. Cozy quiet ambiance (ie adults only here). Decent service. Will return!

Forgot to take any photos but we all cleaned our plates. Came here for Happy Hour with some friends and had a blast. Fantastic whiskey selection and great food. The steak frites are one of the best values for the price. The Wagyu bavette is one of my favorite cuts and they do an excellent job with it. Friends had the nachos and devoured them. Their HH Manhattan is also a great drink. Service was great, wish they had one of these in Dallas ;)

This was the best meal we've had on Seattle Restaurant Week. The food was wonderful, great ambience and the servers were attentive without being intrusive. We will be back, SRW or not!
