    Whiskey Row is a prime location for live music and a lively atmosphere. The service was great with multiple servers catering to our every need, and the GM making regular rounds to make sure all operations were efficient and outstanding. The food was amazing with a menu not to large to overwhelm, but large enough to have something for everyone. The drinks were even better, as they not only paired amazingly with the food, but were also made by an amazing and well staffed bar making sure your drinks are created deliciously and delivered quickly. Overall Whiskeys Row is an amazing location for anyone looking for a more laid back dinning experience that still holds high standard, or a nice spot for a quick drink and a fun time.
