   Food was great. Dawn, our server, was fun, friendly, and attentive. She was quick to make suggestions and took care of us at our pace. The place is good looking with a really nice bar as the centerpiece. We walked through the outdoor patio and bar area. Because of the time of year, it wasn’t set up, but looks like it’s a neat spot to hang out on warmer days. The tall ceilings, and hard surfaces, do bounce the noise around some. You definitely have to speak up when the place is full. All said, the food and service were great and the atmosphere is fun and vibrant. We will definitely be back!

   Way too loud and packed for our dinner. Ruined the whole experience personally. Servers and bartenders need to learn to not over serve alcohol especially to older folk who don’t know how to handle their liquor and be mindful of others around them.

   Very noisy but we were there the same night as the Electric Parade so it was busy. Waitresses were very nice. Goat cheese and grape flatbread was okay. Meatloaf was AMAZING> Went to get a drink later on and the bartenders look like they didn't want to be bothered. Id go back again... id just stay away from the bar.

   Everything was good, except I had made a reservation and my two friends who got there before me, asked to sit in the bar to wait for me and was told by the bartender that they would have to see the hostess and that they could not sit there and then my friend said can I order a drink and he said yes, but you cannot sit here you have to close it out immediately. That really bothered me I don’t understand why you can’t just walk in and sit at the bar and have a drink. I probably won’t go back there for that because there’s enough places to go to that. We don’t have to worry about someone telling us we can’t walk in and sit at the bar to wait for somebody. That’s going to arrive in the next five minutes.

   We attended a show at the Arcadia and needed a nice, quite place to have a dinner before the show. We chose Whiskey Bend and we were very satisfied with our choice! The cuisine was typical casual dining, but the quality was outstanding. The service was perfect. If your looking for a place to eat before enjoying a show at the Arcadia, this is a good choice for great food, efficient service, and a good value!

   Had a reservation but were told the kitchen was behind. But it wasn’t just slow, the servers weren’t allowed to even submit new food orders for another 30+ minutes. Honestly never heard a restaurant say that you weren’t allowed to order. They didn’t offer to comp our drinks or anything so we had to finish our drinks and find somewhere else to eat.

    First time ever we walked out of a restaurant. Poor service never received our dinner after an hour of waiting. Manager bought us our drinks but was unable to tell us when our food would arrive. At that point it was time to leave.
