I find the Whippoorwill menu a little odd and have had a hard time convincing friends to come-with. Finally a brave friend agreed to join me and we went for an early dinner last night. Our server was lovely and the service was very good. She explained everything about the menu. She also recommended the number of dishes we should order which also seemed a little odd but no worries.
They have a good selection of beers. I didn't really check out the wine but they have a new wine list.
My friend had chicken wings and I had gnocchi. We shared the shaved veg salad. We both had the lemon pavlova for dessert.
The salad was nice and crisp with lots of flavour. My friend really enjoyed her chicken wings including the fantabulous sculptural presentation.
The gnocchi was nice and I liked that they were fried and a bit crispy. The sauce was a bit thick maybe but it sits under the gnocchi so you can choose how much sauce you want to eat and I liked that. This dish is quite oniony. It is a little like a cross between gnocchi and perogies :) In a good way.
The pavlova is HUGE and very sweet (of course). It was nice and lemony. I couldn't finish mine.
The food here is good. Not AMAZING but good.
We arrived quite early and it was quiet when we got there. There were quite a few little kids eating there. They like the meatballs on toast.
It got quite lively while we were there and there seemed to be a bit of a neighbourhood bar vibe happening. It is a fun place.
