Went for Easter brunch. Carving stations were on the menu as well as other breakfast items. Well when we arrived there was no carving stations food was lousy and cold. Food table was messy. Service was poor. Waiter spilled drinks on our table glass broken everywhere. The floor was cleaned up but not the table. Drinks fell on 2 people sitting at the table. The owner who was more interested in bringing dishes back and forth and cleaning dirty tables himself instead of delegating to the workers didn’t even bother to come over to apologize. The waiter thought it was funny because that’s the first time that happened he said laughing REALLY?? To top it all off. Nothing was taken off the bill and they added a banquet tip?? Don’t think so! Waiter got what he deserved. I will be reporting this business for false advertising and misinformation. The waiter also said that nothing was updating as far as advertising was concerned. And old information was posted online and also menu on the table was false. The ambience was very depressing. Don’t waste your time or money going there. We will never set foot in there again and I will tell everyone I talk to not to go there. I’m also going to get in touch with a food critic to go there and rate this so called restaurant. Owners need education on how to operate a business let alone a restaurant!!

Went for the holiday brunch. Although the food was good, the staff had difficulty keeping items on the table. It wasn't busy, but I had to ask for grill cheese, salad, and bacon as everything was empty and needed to wait for a staff member to notice. I also had to ask for clean plates. The dessert table had nothing left but cookies and a can of whipped cream. Im not sure what that was for. The cookies left were all picked through and unappealing. Cute place and nice bar with a huge assortment of drinks. I'd like to go back to try the regular menu, but I don't recommend the buffet at all.

Went there with my family yesterday for brunch on Easter ! It was the worst buffet I’ve ever went to By 245 the food was cold and awful. After we left I had to take my family to a pizzeria because the food was that bad! Stay away not WORTH it!!!!

We had a Chamber of Commerce event here a couple months ago and they were very accommodating! Came back personally because of that, and the bartenders were amazing. Especially Jakke, who made a mean Smoke Old Fashioned, while being able to grab drinks for the rest of our party. He was awesome at multitasking and keeping us engaged at the same time. We will be back!

Poor service was the ultimate cause of this bad review. Good came out late and cold, waitress screwed up the order etc etc. aside from that for the money it wasn’t worth what we paid, way overpriced in my opinion.

Went here for prime rib night with my husband. We sat in the back room which was set up decorated for Christmas and had a relaxing ambiance. We got the ricotta toast and French onion soup for appetizers, both were very good. The prime rib was probably one of the most tender I've ever had and our drinks were well balanced and had good flavor. Our server was Nicole who was very sweet and attentive, we also had at least 3 other people ask how we were doing which was nice that they checked in to see how our meal was or if we needed anything. We will definitely come back to try other options on the menu!

Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job. I get the concept of what they are trying to do here but the atmosphere just doesn't match the experience they are attempting to provide. We tried the "bar" food and it was honestly very good. Flavors were unique and unexpected. Drinks were perfect.I think this type of restaurant should be in a smaller, darker, and lounge-type of space. If you've ever been to an upscale cigar bar this place would be the complete opposite. At least lower the lighting if you want me to feel like I'm at a whiskey lounge.I really hope this place succeeds because I appreciate the concept. I suggest the owner check out the Sea Crest Grill speak easy or some others nearby and get some ideas.Good luck and hope you make this a success!

A decent selection of whiskeys, as one would hope given the name, and the food was very tasty. Our server was very new but he did great. One big thing to take away was the fact that it’s extremely un lounge-y. Still very much a beach bar. Picture a whiskey lounge in you head, thinking soft leather, mahogany wood, dark ambiance all around. Exact opposite. But besides that, i would go back.
