The appetizers are tasty and well prepared. I'm a steak lover and the ribeye and sirloin were cooked to our liking.

A very detail oriented establishment. All parts are in place, and work well together. Better than most in Manhattan.

From the valet to hostess to wait staff, the service was wonderful. The food and drinks def met our expectations. Our waiter suggested a wine that, once again, went perfectly with our entrees. The staff is attentive but not at all intrusive.

It’s been a few years since we last dined at Whispers, and after such a delicious dinner, I’m wondering what took us so long to return. We both ordered salads, which were generous enough to share - both were delicious. I had the cod, while Rob ordered the pork chop. Both were excellent. The dining room wasn’t very full, which made it easy to enjoy conversation without having to raise our voices. Our servers were attentive, and the dining room’s old world charm, complete with crisp white tablecloths, made the evening feel special. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and are already looking forward to going back.

We had a lovely dinner before a show at Count Basie Theatre. The service was pleasant and efficient. The food was delicious, but a little salty.
