Whisky River

This evening for dinner Mom and I decided that we would try Whisky River. It is very new, it opened in April 6, 2010 but the actual Grand Opening events are taking place on April 21, 2010. Mom and I were watching the 11 o'clock news last night and saw the interviews about Whisky River. I then went on the website, http://thewhiskyriver.com/jacksonville/, and checked out the menu. I told Mom after looking at the website that we needed to go there for dinner. So tonight we went!

As you walk into Whisky River it is like an experience that you have never had before. There are TV's all over the restaurant, which will come in handy when football season starts again, the booths and chair backs are lined with what looks like cow skin, and there is just a great atmosphere in the building. We were sat at a 4-person high top table right in front of where the night club is. At 9:00 p.m. all of the tables are moved and the door open and the whole restaurant and club become one big party space. There are 4 fully stocked bars, an awesome VIP area and there is even a mechanical bull!!

These are by far the coolest booths I have ever seen!

After we were done taking everything in we were greeted by one of the sweetest waitresses that I have ever had! Mom and I started to take a look over the menu. It was hard to concentrate on the menu when everything that was coming out of the kitchen looked amazing! After we returned from our ADD of food we finally decided what we were going to have. We started off with the Buffalo Dip Appetizer, which the smell alone was amazing. If the smell wasn't great enough the taste of the dip was out of this world. We decided that we were going to have the basic Buffalo Dip, you can add chicken or shrimp to the dip for an additional charge. Also when you order the Dip it comes with your choice of celery, fritos or tortilla chips. We decided that we were going to have it with the tortilla chips.

After the delicious tasting appetizer we got our food. I ordered the 8 piece boneless wings in lemon pepper butter sauce and Mom ordered 10 wings also in the lemon pepper butter sauce. We had decided that since we had the appetizer that we would not order anything else with our meals. When our dinners arrived at the table the smell again was amazing. The boneless wings that I had was the best boneless wings that I have ever had. They are very cripsy and the taste of the sauce was just great. Mom's wings were great also, she said that they were the best wings that she has ever had as well. The wings were crispy like my boneless wings and yet again the sauce was amazing!
