“Could not be happier with our experience at The Whitney! Beautiful atmosphere, extremely friendly staff & amazing food! The amazing staff helped my now fiancé plan the perfect engagement. They made our evening such a joy ♥️”
“This was my first time here, and have to say it will not be my last. This restaurant is beautiful, classical, and historic. Everyone who helped me and served me were top tier, very helpful knowledgeable and caring. One thing I liked most is that it’s very diverse. But, you better be dressed to impress, otherwise to serves, I wouldn’t let you in either. I never had blue cheese before, so I was given a tester too if I liked it. Burger and fries were phenomenal.”
“Such a romantic, elegant, inviting and iconic place; perfect for date night! The architecture of this mansion is exquisite and lavish, it was built between 1890 and 1894. The Whitney is 22,000 square feet, with 52 rooms, 20 fireplaces, and 218 windows. We did not dine there, we savoured a drink upstairs at the stunning Ghostbar and toured the mansion with our guide who was knowledgeable, upbeat and hilarious. The staff we interacted with were jovial, polite and professional. We highly enjoyed visiting The Whitney and look forward to visiting again soon!”
“The Whitney holds a very special place in my heart, filled with personal memories that make every visit truly meaningful. The ambiance is absolutely breathtaking, elegant, warm and timeless, making it the perfect setting for unforgettable moments. The food is consistently outstanding, beautifully prepared and full of flavour, and the service is nothing short of exceptional. I’ve done private bookings here, and each time the experience has been flawless, seamless, and incredibly well looked after. The attention to detail and genuine care from the team always stand out. A truly special restaurant that never disappoints and continues to deliver excellence every single time.”
“Derek was our server and he was so kind and informative! He truly went out of his way to make my birthday at the Whitney a memorable experience. I loved that we were free to wander the mansion and the tea service was both delicious and fun. Andrew at concierge was also kind, friendly, and helpful. I had an amazing experience and will absolutely come back for another visit.”
