What People Are Saying About Whitney Restaurant
The Editor

Citysearch
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.

Impeccable
by Bluemango at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: Food and service

Information for Travelers

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
