    Our server, Matthew was attentive, knowledgeable about the food and very friendly. I had the steak sliders.. 2 small sliders with a perfect amount of truffle so it didn’t overpower the delicious patty.. came with the most delicious little potatoes.. crisp on the outside and melt in your mouth potato once you bit in.. delicious! Also had the pistachio crème brûlée .. if you like pistachio this is the dessert to have ❤️

    I took the wife up to Solvang for her birthday and we stopped in Whiskey and Rye for happy hour. It’s a comfortable casual restaurant with a nice ambiance. Servers were great, appetizers and beer were very good, we had wings, pickle chips and the Mac and cheese and all were good. A little extra I enjoyed was sitting by the fireplace and listening to the music selection they played (Fleetwood Mac, Humble pie, Yes, Stones). Big up👍🏼
