What People Are Saying About Whitney Restaurant

In Short
Built by former lumber tycoon David Whitney, the Whitney is a 21,000-square-foot mansion of elegance and extravagance. Patrons dine in one of the estate's 52 rooms, the scene is both romantic and glamorous, and the elegance of the setting is matched only by the cuisine. The prix-fixe menu is recommended, as is the Russian caviar service. After dinner, patrons make their way up to the third-floor lounge for live entertainment and dessert.

This building has amazing architecture, amazing ambiance and unbeliveable service. I recenlty visited The Whitney for dinner and our service and food was exquisite. I had the scallop dish and the presentation was beautiful and the taste was savory and delicious. My fiance had the filet and it was not only cooked to his desired temperature but it was seasoned to perfection. To say the least our experience was wonderful and we will return for our anniversary again in September.

The beauty of this amazing mansion and restaurant and its well prepared cuisine are damaged by inept and self-involved management who seem oblivious to the importance of customer satisfaction.

This place has impeccable service and awesome food. They have a 7 course meal. They also have private rooms. Although they are very pricey, be prepared.
