    Drinks and food were both excellent, the calamari and gumbo appetizers were the best of each we have had. As usual service, food, atmosphere are all excellent!

    Tried Whiskey Ridge for the first time last night, and it was great! There were a few little glitches with getting seated and with one of our orders, but the staff was super friendly and we didn't mind. Excellent frozen margarita (maybe the best I've had?). I liked my salad and my husband and son ate every bit of their chicken fried chicken. Huge portions, so order accordingly. And it looks like reservations will be a must for this place - at least on weekends. It was packed! Kudos for the ample parking. All around great experience, excited to go back.

    Service was great. Deviled eggs were good. Reuben was soggy in the middle but edges were dry and crunchy. 2 people at table ordered Chicken fried steak and chicken and did t like the gravy. Too spicy and tangy. Would prefer a regular cream crazy. Would come back to sit at bar for apps and cocktails.

    It's so exciting to have new upscale restaurants in Driftwood and not have to go all the way downtown. The restaurant is nicely designed and all staff were very attentive and friendly. We had the deviled eggs with fried oysters and chips and guacamole appetizers which were good. My fillet mignon was excellent and cooked medium rare to perfection. The chocolate custard was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to returning and trying more items on the menu.

    A very well thought out and executed menu. Every dish is flavorful and presented beautifully. Service is attentive with an eye for little details. I wanted to recognize Carlos for his attention to detail and high level of service provided. The entire experience is high end food, drink, and service in a comfortable Hill Country setting.
