Outstanding dining experience at this hidden gem in Bay View area of Milwaukee. We had four separate entrees and each was exceptional. Perhaps the best schnitzel outside of Vienna. Dessert was crème brûlée and carrot cake, and both were excellent. Highly recommended!

WOW is this place fantastic! If you want a truly excellent meal and personalized service, this is the place. Be in the mood to take your time thru the culinary experience provided by the amazing staff. This is not the place to eat if you’re in a hurry, every dish is meticulously prepared and served with love by the hearts and souls of The White House. True tradition comes from the old world experience of the staff; the boutique atmosphere and high quality of everything makes this place feel like you’re in one of the best restaurants in Europe, I dare you to compare this to the best in Paris-London-Berlin-Munich, they’ve got it figured out. This will be a goto place for us going forward, and we look forward to the changing menu as the seasons change.

We enjoyed our experience at the White House. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The food was tasty and cooked beautifully however it was fairly over seasoned from our perspective. The inside, though a cloudy-rainy evening, was exceptionally dark. Perhaps, our age is showing. YMMV.

Outstanding service and most welcoming. My cocktail was perfect and the timing of my food was spot on. Interesting history and both indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy this up and coming neighborhood. Will most certainly make another visit when in town.

From the friendly greeting as we walked in to the attentive service and the quality of the food, this was a wonderful find hidden in the Bay View area. They were not crowded as we arrived at this historic building, noting the outdoor seating in the back garden as well as a few tables alongside the street. We decided to eat in the main dining room due to the cool weather and the traffic noise on KK if we sat alongside the building. There was only one table occupied so the hostess/server told us to pick any table. She was very friendly and well versed in the menu, asking where we were from and chatting about our local farmer's market, while also describing the items on the menu. We ordered a drink for my wife and iced tea for me. The server apologized that they do not serve iced tea (somewhat of a disappointment) so I stayed with the water already served. After reviewing the menu while waiting for the drink to arrive, we made our choices. The signature drink Grey Goose with Elderberry and grapefruit with a sprig of Rosemary, was, per my wife, outstanding. We ordered seared Ahi for her with a side of mushrooms and the Filet Mignon with a side of mushroom risotto for me. The server chatted with us off and on during the wait for the food, including bringing a complimentary serving of garden picked cherry tomato with fresh parmesan and house made balsamic vinegar. The food arrived fairly fast. A minor complaint would be the lack of any bread & butter or oil prior to or during dinner. That seems to be something that could be added easily, given the number of excellent bakeries in the area. The food was excellent. The filet arrived exactly as ordered, medium well, just a touch of pink in the middle. Surprisingly, it was already sliced by the chef. A nice touch. The risotto was perfection. The seared Ahi was done perfectly and the side of mushrooms was awesome. Both sides were large enough for two people to easily share. Dinner was not cheap. But worth every dime

Found this Bay View gem by accident and made the trip down from Fox Point. Dined al fresco in the beautiful garden out back, where a charming cottontail bunny kept us company most of the meal. The food and service were excellent and the menu slightly different enough from everywhere else to make it a nice new experience. Yummy boozy cocktail (gorgeous color!)

We went to The White House to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We dined outside in the lovely back garden.. WE wanted somewhere upscale and we weren’t disappointed. The food was delicious. Scallops and lamb were perfectly done. Sharing the vegetables was terrific as we discussed which ones to try. We loved the procuitto wrapped asparagus in tempura. Dessert was carrot cake and crème brûlée. The staff was very responsive to our request although they didn’t always have exactly what we asked. They offered alternatives. We will return again to enjoy a good meal and help Allison succeed with this restaurant.
