RISE ABOVE THE ORDINARY

There was a time when cocktails had a style and sophistication all their own. When a night out with friends was both an occasion and a celebration in itself, and now this stylish joie de vivre lives again at Whiskey and Soda, the unforgettable lobby bar in the Rand Tower Hotel.

What better inspiration for a roaring good time? Named after two lion cubs who lived among the American airmen of WWI’s Lafayette Escadrille, these furry mascots provide a rich, thematic backdrop for their namesake bar – including delightful elements related to the irrepressible Whiskey and Soda themselves.

We had a reservation to find out it was first come first served. Also, this is not a restaurant. They only offered a hamburger, tartar and fries. I would not recommend this place to eat. Do not wast your time reserving a table as well. Open table should take this off of their list of restaurants.

They had a limited menu, no whiskey (or any liquor), and the staff was all brand new. The food options were heavy and not very good. The staff was very nice, just to new to be helpful.

Wonderful experience. The salmon was very good as was the vegetable risotto. Our server and also the manager were very gracious and the service was excellent. Prices were fair on both the food and wine. It is a cozy little place and unique.

They were not serving any hard alcohol the Saturday night we went. With whisky in the name, you’d think they’d have at least one whisky drink option. The food was overpriced and poor quality.

Stop by Whiskey both are delicious! For libations, if you like an "old fashioned," I would highly recommend "Paper Plane," one of the menus "golden age classics." I would NOT recommend ordering any straight/neat pours from the whisk(e)y menu; I had an Irish single malt that was way overpriced.

It was my birthday and we decided to go here. Online it looks more like a restaurant not per se a bar. Acknowledged her birthday but didn’t do anything like a piece of cake or anything. The food took forever and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. The medium burger was more like well and the fries were cool. Overall I was fairly disappointed with the experience

Great location with a trendy, Art Deco vibe. The service was good but a little slow considering that the place wasn’t very busy. The food menu was limited but that was probably because of NYE. We’d definitely go back on a regular night.

Dinner was outstanding! The Red Velvet cake for dessert was not very good. Service was as bad as I have ever experienced. Our server seemed to be very distracted by something, even though she had very few tables. The process of running food out is haphazard. No one seemed to know what food was for who. Even though the food was very good, I would not add this as a place I would revisit. There are a lot of places in town with outstanding food.

Made a reservation and when we got there the kitchen was closed due to staffing. They had a charcuterie board only that was decent but we left pretty hungry. We would have appreciated a phone call letting us know that the kitchen was closed.

There was only one server for a restaurant that was very busy before the Stones concert. Despite that she was attentive and the food was served warm. Enjoyed the Banh Mi sandwich. Also had a bite of my wife's Turkey Avocado sandwich, also tasty. Extensive drink/cocktail list (didn't imbibe). The only downside were the hotel restaurant prices.
