   Always a great experience. The pierogi appetizer is so delicious. We both ordered the short rib dinner and it never disappoints. So tender and tasty. Highly recommend the Carpe Diem if you’re a bourbon fan.

   The atmosphere is amazing. Staff were friendly. However, just disappointed in the quality of food. The apps were over salted and I ordered a beet salad that came with no beets to be found. When asked, they brought us a tiny bowl of just plan, roughly chopped beets. Felt off for me as a first timer and unsure I’d return.

   Eight plain green beans as a side for four dollars is ridiculous

   The Whitney House has a new menu and it is amazing! We went for brunch this time and it did not disappoint - make sure to try the French toast 😍

    We dined outside on the patio. The brussel sprouts app was delicious as was the beet salad. My spouse got the burger which was loved, I ordered the shrimp pasta which looked great, but first bites into the shrimp revealed it wasn't cook through (the color was pink but the texture was squishy). Thankfully they removed the cost of the entree from our bill and offered to place another order.

    The ambiance, service and presentation were extremely enjoyable! Lovely staff who took time to have personal conversations with you and did not rush any course. Unfortunately, the food and drink choices we had were rather lack-luster. The shrimp pasta seemed to have extremely fresh ingredients but not strong flavor, the burger was under done to the point of being inedible; note, they did provide a free dessert to compensate which was very nice! The cocktails were both okay, just nothing exciting for the price. The pierogis were our favorite part, an interesting combo but would definitely recommend. I think we will return and just try some different options!

    We have been to this restaurant many times- we did I not know that they have revamped the menu -not positive. The menu reflects pub food and not very daring. We liked the daily specials which are no longer presented or served. The food was generally good, but the experience was not.

    The wait staff seemed really stressed and several of the dishes tasted strange, like maybe there was something on the grill that got transferred to the food. We were the first people to arrive that morning but the tables around us all got their food and drinks first. All in all, it felt like an experience that you would have at a restaurant that just opened, not one that's been around as long as the Whitney House.

    Appetizers and Entrees were very good. Would not recommend dessert; even a steak knife had trouble cutting through the crust. We eventually gave up. Also, up until we finished our entrees, our waitress was fantastic. Our plates were ready for clearing and she was ready to give us our check. This was a birthday dinner (which was indicated on our reservation). I asked if we could order dessert, and she realized her mistake and was very gracious from that point.

    Haven't been to The Whitney House in about 6 months. Brought some friends to dine last evening. They had never been to The Whitney House. In reservation, had asked for a booth. As we all know, sometimes one is available and sometimes not. Hostess took me to a table stating "here is the booth you requested." Did she not know what a booth was?? Restaurant was busy and just assumed no booth in the bar area was available. A short time later, the Manager stopped by and confirmed my thoughts, stating that none were available. We ordered drinks. I ordered a Chardonnay. When it arrived, it seemed a little darker than I remembered it to be. It had a good taste. Later on, it was disclosed that the brand I ordered, they were out of ($13/glass). Wine they substituted was $19/glass. Unsure why the server or manager initially were not honest about not having the product that was ordered and would I care for something else? Our meals came as ordered and were very good. The server was Super Nice, yet extremely busy. Hard to provide above average customer service when they are extremely busy. Hopefully, this was a "one off" and not the new culture of Customer Service at The Whitney House.

    Lunch on May 2 at the Whitney House was wonderful. Our server, Natalie, was doing double duty as server and bartender and she managed to do a great job at both. The refurbished Tavern room was delightful and my colleague, who had not been to the Whitney House, vowed to come back for dinner in the near future. Well done.

    Reservation on a Saturday evening, seated immediately on arrival. Great service staff. Had the crunchy Brussel Sprouts as an appetizer…YUMMY. I ordered the blackened chicken sandwich. It was very good…loved the bread and the chucked had a bit of spice. Highly recommend!

    The wife and I were in serious need of a date night. Chose this restaurant since we’re familiar with the area but had never been there together. It was perfect for our date. We were seated immediately even though it was busy. Our server, Frank was very attentive and even made recommendations that the wife and I enjoyed. The manager also came round which is always nice. Starters were delicious, we had the skillet cornbread and the brussel sprouts, I’d recommend both. Meals were also delicious (House burger and Salmon). The ambiance was nice and the noise level was perfect (we were able to have great conversation w/o being loud or overhearing others). The dessert menu looked good, but we opted not to and chose to walk a few doors down for some more wine. All in all, great night, great experience and a decent amount of follow up places within walking distance. I’d recommend making reservations for 5:30pm. We’ll certainly be back.

    Nice location and ambience. Service from other server was great, but our server was non existent for most of the almost 2 hours we were there. French onion soup was good. Chicken Caesar was okay. Enough to split if also having the soup. Might give them another chance when we are back in town, but would ask for Frank or a different server.

    We were greeted enthusiastically when we arrived and the service throughout our meal was outstanding. We got the perfect table up by the window. The corn bread was so good the last time that we had to get it again. It was the perfect start. We tried a new cocktail, "Old Friend"...bourbon, aperol and lillet blanc. We each got our own beet salad. It's plenty big to share but we like it too much to split. We ended with a burger and the short rib pierogies. Both were well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. We will be spending more time with this old friend.

    This was our second time, and likely our last. There was nothing special about the appetizer (salmon dip) or the entrees (Caesar salad with chicken and a burger with fries). It was way overpriced and neither of us finished our meal. We ordered a pizza when we got home—that was delicious (Pizza Primo).

    I have been to the Whitney House many times. Each time has been enjoyable and the food is always great. They recently change their menu. My usual picks are no longer on the list. So, I tried the Wild Salmon Niçoise salad. It was amazing! The salmon was perfect. The salad had a light herb vinaigrette dressing. My favorite French Chardonnay is not available but the waitstaff recommended an Albariño from Spain. I was most pleased with her suggestion. The olive oil cake was moist & delicious

    The food is just ok. We were with great friends and had a good time. Our server was attentive. The tables are very close and it gets noisy. There really isn’t anywhere to wait and you feel kind of hurried to open up a table. I really want to like this place, but it is just ok.
