A big disappointment for everyone within our group, especially in comparison to experiences at The Whitney in the past. Despite emphasizing that we had tickets for an 8pm performance at The FOX and reminding our waitstaff of this fact twice thereafter, we were late for our event and were unable to be seated in our reserved (and pricey) seats for the first half of the performance. Furthermore, the dinner which had to be returned to the kitchen because of over-salting, was still not served after all the guests at our table were done eating.

From the time we walked in the door we were treated like guests in someones home. The manager saw us wandering around and then he pointed out some interesting details of the amazing home. The salmon was perfect and the dessert was beautiful and delicious. We can't wait to go back in the summer to see the gardens. A wonderful oasis.

The Whitney turned out to be more than I expected. The building is gorgeous, the service was timely and very pleasant, my food was right on. I would recommend this place to friends and hope to go again in the summer.

We went The Whitney to celebrate my husband's dinner. It meant a lot to both of us that the waitress gave us custom made menus that said "Happy Birthday" to my husband at the top of the menus. In additiona to a wonderful dinner, we were able to take home a momento of the evening.

What a terrible experience. My car was wrecked (valet required). It has been a month and management at The Whitney is still giving a song and dance, and obviously don't intend to make it right. This is headed for a lawsuit. Valentines Day ruined.It won't happen to you if you stay away from The Whitney.

We enjoyed our meal, the food and service were outstanding. However, the tables were too close together. When we arrived it was quiet and romantic, as the restaurant filled not only was it too loud but my husband and I both had our chairs bumped when the tables on either side were seated. And when it was time to get up to leave, we were blocked into our seats.
