Runaway Whiskey & Wine

Great for a date night! We didn't get a chance to eat but the food that was brought out looked amazing and the people that did have a meal really seemed to enjoy it.Jamie gave us A1 service he was attentive and made sure we enjoyed ourselves Highly recommended

We loved this place the minute we walked in! It has a wonderful ambiance, reminiscent of art deco New York.We started off with drinks. Nice wine list and some fun cocktails, but we were getting g on a plane after so we weren't able to indulge. For appetizers we got the potato croquettes and the crab corn fritters. The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. It was served with a delicious garlic aioli that was the perfect touch. The crab corn fritters were also good. I would have preferred more chunky texture. It was very smooth which I think took away from the separate ingredients. I didn't even see or taste corn. But it still tasted good.For dinner we had steak and potatoes and the Wagyu burger. The steak tasted fine but the cut was strange. It was almost like pot roast cut to mimic a steak. It was also cut very thin... too thin for the price. The potato's were good and the sautéed carrots were also good. The wagyu burger was delicious and was served with onion jam. It was huge and made for great leftovers the next day. I would definitely go back but probably stick to the appetizers and drinks.... And maybe the burger

Amazing experience for the most part. They were short staffed this night due to some staff call outs but the service was still good. Our wait to place our order was long because of this. But once we did the food came out pretty quickly. The chief even helped bring food out. Good teamwork is always important. I got the Deco dips and both my friends got the Wagyu burger. We also got the amazing Corn Crab Fritters (they are hush puppies) and the pretzels. We had a few drinks that were great two. The environment is great for a date night or grown and sexy night with friends. Great lighting and decor.

Great whiskey and craft cocktail spot over in Wesley heights! Their food is tasty and they have a rolling cocktail list, and you can also have the bartender get creative. You definitely get the dark bar ambience and it's not overly loud so still a good place to have good conversation over your favorite drink.

I love this place for cocktails. There are always open seats and the desserts are fantastic. The staff is always excited to be there and give great recommendations. All this is great, but what really takes the cake is the Espresso Martini Flight! I LOVE this flight and have brought out of town friends and family to this place to have it! I love that it changes and that the options are so creative!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful time at the Runaway. In my opinion, the drinks were a little steeper than I'd like, but overall it was an AMAZING time. We ordered the tuna tartare, the crab fritters, and we both got the steak for dinner. Everything came out well and in an appropriate amount of time. Our server was also our bartender, which was awesome because he could customize cocktails. Our only complaints would be the overall cost of the drinks themselves and there was quite a bit of dust everywhere. An old fashioned was about $21 with Old Forrester Rye and the espresso martini flight was $40.The place itself had only one other couple and when we walked in, we were asked if we had a reservation for the evening.

Runaway has quickly become one of my favorites & I have every confidence that it can become one of yours too! Located in the ever-growing Wesley Heights, Runaway can easily be classified as top-tier.BEAUTIFUL decor that gives a serious nod to the Gatsby era, but with a modern twist. EXCELLENT service from knowledgeable, friendly, & creative staff. Epicurean DELIGHTS--the crab/corn fritters, prosciutto deviled eggs, & yuzu tuna tartare are among my faves, along with that Instagram viral espresso martini flight. All this plus 1/2-priced wine Mondays & $6...I repeat $6 Eagle Rare & Buffalo Trace Tuesdays--#BestOldFashionedEVER! Hope to see you there!

My hubby wanted to go on a date. He had heard good things about Runaway Whiskey & Wine. He booked a reservation and off we went.When we pulled up to the building, we thought that it resembled business park.Upon entry, we walked into a freshly decorated and intimate but fairly small environment. I loved the large chandeliers, however.We were seated promptly and welcomed by a chipper waiter by the name of Jeremiah. He was enthusiastic and pleasant. He greeted us and recommended some great options to start with such as the corn and crab fritters and he also recommended the First in Flight. We ordered the devil eggs, corn and crab fritters, the bambino curse, and I ordered the First in Flight.The deviled eggs arrived first. They were absolutely delicious. The prosciutto gave the dish the salt it needed, and the mustard seeds and radishes balanced out the flavor. Overall 4/5 between the hubby and I. We recommend adding caviar to earn the next star.Next we received our drinks. I ordered the First in Flight and my hubby ordered the Bambino CurseMy hubby said the Bambino Curse was delicious. His overall rating is a 4/5. He said the flavor was good but it wasn't amazing. I rated the First in Flight a 3.5/5. The Spirit of St. Louis was my least favorite. I didn't care for the cayenne; however, I do understand why it was in the drink. The Health Resort in Omaha was my favorite. I love that it was served warm.Our second appetizer came out, the Corn and Crab Fritters. My hubby was skeptical because he does not like crab (oh the horror); however, we both absolutely loved them. They were divine. We bother ranked them a 5/5. We received our entrees. I ordered the Salmon with the butternut squash puree. My hubby ordered the Wagyu & Frites. My salmon was cooked well. It was flaky and flavorful; however, it was a little on the salty side. The butternut squash puree paired well with the salmon. Overall, 4/5. My hubby said the wagyu burger was so cooked to the perfect temperature and was extremely flavorful. The fries were seasoned well too. He rated his meal a 5/5.My hubby ordered the Bartender's Choice. He said the drink was basically a whiskey sour. He also said it was a good whiskey sour, but he was looking for more creativity. Ranking 4/5.Finally, I ordered All The Queens Men. My hubby asked for Cat's Pajamas. We received the drinks and tasted each other's drink. We ended up switching drinks. I preferred Cat's Pajamas and he loved the taste of All The Queens Men. All The Queens Men was extremely strong and bold in flavor which my hubby enjoyed. I enjoyed the toned down and laid back flavor of Cat's Pajamas. Overall we gave both drinks a 4/5.Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Runaway Whiskey & Wine. Jeremiah, our waiter was wonderful. He was personable, relatable, and exudes professionalism. He gave great recommendations and checked on us the perfect amount of times. Overall, Jeremiah receives a 5/5 for his unparalleled customer service. This guy deserves a raise because he was just that good. We highly recommend Runaway Whiskey & Wine. We enjoyed the service, atmosphere, and food. We will be back soon.

My date and I came to grab some dates! Runaway has a beautiful patio with fire pits that was full. We sat inside which was gorgeous and empty which was fine by us. The bartender served us and was very knowledgeable about the drinks and answered all of our questions! I enjoyed my time and I'll be back

Service was good, ambiance was amazing, and their All The Queens Men cocktail was absolutely delicious. Definitely will be back when I come back in town!
