Since we had eaten carefully, we decided to have the "scratch dessert" which was peach bread pudding. My friend had the fish special which was a Copper River salmon filet cooked medium rare served over a mixed vegetable succotash. For entrees, I selected the "roasted lamb dip" served with an onion marmalade, horsey cream, and lamb jus, on a wheat bun. We chose the friend green tomatoes with a spicy gremolata, remoulade as a starter. We had barely gotten our drinks when our table was ready. It also was very flavorful and the texture was nice with the meringue-like consistency of the drink. My dinner companion had a "Texas Bluebonnet" which had rum, an egg white, simple syrup, lemon shaken hard and topped with a blueberry liqueur. I would like to have drunk a couple more but was the DD so had to settle for ice tea with my dinner. I had a "wabbit smash" made with bombay sapphire gin, carrot, mint, honey, lemon, and ginger - everything about the drink was wonderful. We started with cocktails while we waited for our table. The second time a friend and I went there because she had been curious since we tried to go the weekend before.
TEXAS WHISKEY CAKE PLANO TEXAS FULL
I was too full to enjoy the well recommended whiskey cake. If I ordered it again, I would have them hold the chimmmichurri sauce I didn't think it added to the meat. The roast was perfectly grilled, was fork tender and had a great flavor. My entree was mesquite grilled tri-tip roast with a chimmichurri sauce and a side of delicata squash & blue cheese gratin. The tarragon vinaigrette dressing had a pretty strong taste so is not a good pairing for wine - you would need to have a palate cleanser before drinking any good wine after eating the salad. Then at a very leisurely pace, I was brought my salad which was a simple farm salad (greens, cucumber, tomato, tarragon vinaigrette hold the cucs, please). I thought that was very accommodating of the waiter. They come five halves to an order but I was allowed to order just two halves for a reduced price. To go with my cocktail, I had two halves of deviled eggs from the appetizer menu. I think it's one of those drinks that has to grow on you. Given the ingredients, not sure where the flavor came from unless the tea was a herbal tea. It was very unique - didn't taste bad but was very herby tasting. I started with "left hook lucy" made with vodka, tea, honey, lemon, and st. The server was very responsive and informative and attentive without being overbearing. After that first meal, I thought it might be a fluke because everything was great. But after a tough day at work, I decided to go alone just to try it out. The very first time we attempted to go, there was a two to two and a half hour wait so we didn't. I have been to this restaurant three times in the past eight days. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone who likes out of the ordinary great food. There were many things on the menu that looked fabulous and I want to go back so I can try them all! We ended with the famous Whiskey Cake, (which we found out doesn't really have whiskey in it) and it was rich and caramel-y with freshly whipped cream on the side. The corned beef sandwich was as good (or better) than any we have had in NYC and the Inside Out French Toast was such a unique twist on a traditional dish. 3 Little Pigs for appetizer-great flavor on the pork and the bun was superb. So, neither of my initial thoughts were true! Great, unique menu items which we all loved. When we drove up and saw that it is a large freestanding restaurant, I thought maybe it's a chain I hadn't heard of (which usually means mediocre to me).
We decided to try Whiskey Cake, thinking it was probably just a little diner. We had to make a run up to Plano the other day and since I love to try new places, I checked on a few sites to see what restaurants in the area are highly rated.
