We had a party of eight we seated quickly and the service was amazing and the food was unbelievable. I would definitely return. I would love to come when it’s not a buffet, but the food was still Chef’s kiss.

Had a great experience at whiskey Bird. Mike was our server and he was very attentive and polite. Quite friendly. Although my yakitori skewers were very small they were quite tasty. Did the tofu and mushroom were amazing and the stuffed peppers was surprisingly my favorite. Great atmosphere. Had a great time.

Our server was excellent - professional, friendly and attentive. Ceasar and caprese salads were tasty and good for sharing. The chicken scallopini parmesan was quite dry and not very flavorful, and we were charged extra for requesting more sauce to help improve it; Probably should have just sent it back. Tagliatelle Bolognese was delicious. Complimentary tiramisu for the birthday girl was festive and delicious.
