Whiskey Cake is an award winning farm-to-table restaurant, offering signature New American comfort food with a farm-to-fork mission. The approachable menu locally sources as much as possible and will feature innovative appetizers, slow-cooked meats and freshly caught fish, along with the infamous whiskey cake for dessert.

The large central bar pays homage to great whiskeys with an expansive list of variations. A menu of cocktails features creative concoctions of local spirits with fresh ingredients, evocative of beverages served at a pre-prohibition bar experience.

The contemporary design of reclaimed architectural elements creates an environment that is comfortable and inviting, an ideal spot for dinner after a long workday or a lazy brunch on the weekends.

    You changed the menu. Less variety to pick from. I selected the Spinach and Chicken salad, which I’ve had before but you have also changed. Now you made the chicken and the dressing spicy. Too spicy. This caused me to have heartburn. Just not our usual dinning experience. The drinks and service were good as usual. Might have to rethink future opportunities at what was a go-to restaurant.

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our drinks and service, and we hope to have the chance to impress you on your next visit.

    Whiskey Cake San Antonio: I don't know how the food is because we've been here for two hours, with a reservation, and still do not have our food. I even put in for a special occasion. For reference we were a table of 7. Waiter can't tell us what us is going on and was slightly rude when I asked. This place was highly recommended but we will not be coming back. This is ridiculous and we have seen tables all around us getting food way after we were seated. Manager Jennifer just come out and gave us attitude that we didn't order as soon as we sat down....because no one asked us to order. She also tried the excuse that they were short staffed. Though as mentioned above numerous people who were seated after us got their food in a timely manner. Update 30 mins later: our food came out. My steak was cold and did not come with the advertised mushrooms and Parmesan. Just cold, dry steak or any sauce for the fries. They did offer to comp our meals so I do appreciate that. Our waiter Bill was good, but unsure if he put our ticket in late, or if it was the kitchen.. . Some food came out, some did not. Some food was hot and fresh, others were cold like it had been sitting there for an hour. My boyfriend's pork chop came out warm but went cold within 2 minutes (heat lamp). My friend ordered a salad that never came. My other friend got a salad with not all the listed ingredients. 5 of us got our food but the other 2 had to wait 5-10 mins to get theirs. Dessert was good. Said it would not take long but it did. As stated they comped meal, sort of. I was still charged for some food. We expected to pay for alcohol, but I ended up paying over $150 for 2 people and terrible food and service.
