    We love Steak and Whiskey! Everyone who works there is very friendly. The food is always amazing. Last night we had a name plate on our table to welcome us. Right now it’s also decorated for the Holiday’s, adding more ambiance to the already cozy feel. We are lucky to be within walking distance from this gem of a place!

    The food for the most part was good especially the ribeye, the peach salad was a bit subpar but the brussels sprouts were excellent as well. A large party sat next to us, and it was unbearably loud.

    Everything was perfect. My only complaint would be that the music was too loud. To be honest, we didn't ask for it to be turned down but it could have been a bit lower. Food and attention was great! thank you!

    The service was very slow. Took forever to get our drinks. Food was hit and miss. Filet was very good but the rib eye was terrible. The short ribs were terrific but the Brussels sprouts were awful. Onion rings were delicious but the mashed potatoes were grainy. The room is festive but very loud. Probably won’t go back.
    Steak & WhiskyResponded on October 1, 2024

    Excellent steaks and food, especially the Lobster Bisque, Braised Short Ribs, and tuna tartar. Amazing selection of whisky from all over. It was close to closing time, so I created my own flight, rather than one of the pre-selected flights. But a lot of thought clearly went into choosing the various flights of reserve Bourbon, regular Bourbon, Scotch, Irish Whisky, Japanese Whisky, etc! Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. We'll definitely return when in this part of town again!
