best restaurant in plano? close.. i love beer and really good food. my wife and i both share these passions and we're not afraid to spend a little extra money to further our culinary interests. we've eaten at a lot of great places both in and out of texas, and without a doubt whiskey cake is the reason we'll come to plano on a date night. theserviceis ok - it's never been bad. but the food and drinks are what you're there for, and they're incredible.
i was shocked to see so many negative reviews, so i've decided to make a shortlist of reasons why one might not like whiskey cake:
1. you're cheap. i mean, the place is obviously nice and geared toward the slightly upscale sort of people who appreciate industrial design and angles, and faux-antique pieces. these people don't have a problem with a $15 entree. the place is worth it in vibe alone.
2. small portion sizes. ok, really? and just how much, might i ask, do you weigh? perhaps a visit to the cardiologist is in order.
3. bland food. i can only assume the food is bland to those only willing to order bland items, like mac & cheese, and even a lot of those people say that meal is good! the farm bird, fish entrees, and basically everything i've tried there have been outstanding and a total taste-bud adventure. if your palette gets freaked out at the sight of any remotely non-traditional items on the menu, blame yourself.
4. the bar. ok, nobody cites this as a negative but i'd just like to make the point again that it's great!
honestly, even my parents like this place. haters - stop with the negativity - and head to the cracker barrel.
