Editorial Review for Whitney Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors
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.

The Whitney closed on February 18, 2007 for a change of ownership/management and remodeling. If you are interested in visiting this beautiful mansion, please call first. It's my understanding that it will be re-open soon! When I was there, the atmosphere, service and food were excellent. It is truly the most romantic atmosphere ever and when my husband and I got home, the atmosphere continued and our son was conceived! Is that TMI????
Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere
Cons: Prices were outrageous and the portions were rather small
