    We were celebrating a Birthday, and loved the personalized note placed on table. We were outside and had a beautiful view of the water. It was very peaceful. Cora was our server, and she was excellent! The food was delicious and craveable especially the Gorgonzola Chips. We will be back!

    Ask for a bar table so I anticipated a little more noise. I make this a regular monthly stop with the girls because everybody can find something they like and we can try new things to share the Wednesday. Drink specials are also amazing part of the evening. Still trying new things and never disappointed

    All staff, from the hostess to our server were friendly. The food was great and perfectly prepared. On a nice table there is a lot of outdoor space to take advantage of and the parking lot has been expanded which was a great surprise. Whiskey Joe's is a great place to go to for a fun time. We've never had a bad meal here.
