Came for the Back East Feast lobster boil dinner. Raw bar & champagne upon entry. Dinner was lobster bisque, blue cheese slaw, whole lobster, classic, mussels, king crab, red skin, corn on the cob & strawberry shortcake. House beer & wine, tip & tax included in ticket price of $99 with 10% of each ticket going to the charity to help the communities homeless. They have music playing while we dined under the tents. Gorgeous evening for the event. Waitstaff was outstanding as usual. This is their 4th year doing this event. My only 2 recommendations would be is to serve salted drawn butter (several others noted as well) and to not cook lobster with rubber bands on the claws. We requested salt shakers for the butter but due to the moisture the tables attempting to use them had difficulty. Other than those two minor fixable things it was a perfect night with the great food The Whitney is known for!

If youre in Detroit for even one day, GO TO THE WHITNEY. A friend and I flew in at 10am and our departure flight was at 4pm. We made time for the afternoon tea and it was worth it! First, the Victorian mansion is incredible. From the exterior design to the doorknobs, this place is beautiful. The staff are incredible. They knew we only had one hour to spend at tea before going back to the airport and they made sure we received our drinks and canapés right away. Every detail is spot on and special. Such as the welcome mimosa, learning details about the mansion, the food, the tablecloths, the teacups. I wish there was a similar experience in the city I live in.

The Whitney was a grand experience! Parties of all sizes can be intimate and special. Our menu had HAPPY 51ST ANNIVERSARY SHARON AND RUSS Printed at the top. Complentary anniversary champagne toast. Special dessert tray with Happy 51st Anniversary R&S. Treated us like we belonged there. The best treatment ever from a restaurant. Lovely. Thank you!

Great Sunday morning tea service experience. Good service and cool ambiance. The chairs were very uncomfortable and need replacing but other that that, had a great time

The food was amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful. Our waiter, John was excellent and very knowledgeable about the Whitney mansion. It was nice to have an upscale meal in a place where they made everyone feel welcome. John is pictured here with us. Great experience!

Food & service was great. I Always enjoy coming to the Whitney. The architect in the history of this building is amazing. One of my favorites.

Im glad I made the trip to the Whitney. Its an incredible place that takes back the front door, stairway, stained-glass windows to the dining area. It seems like everything inside the mansion was meticulously done. The service was excellent. It was definitely a great experience

I wish I could give it a higher ranking!! My husband surprised me for our 10 year Anniversary. This place is amazing beautiful and words cannot express everything just breath taking. The whole staff were amazing The food amazing and the tour guide was amazing especially knowing everything about the building which amazed us!! Highly recommend. Yes its expensive but well worth it!!

Everything was excellent from valet to the food and specially the service! Alexis was the best! So friendly and made dining there even better that the food. What a great experience. Everything was wonderful great place for a romantic date.

Everyone at The Whitney Restaurant are excellent. They made our 45th anniversary experience awesome. The food was excellent and the cost was good. The atmosphere amazing.

Superb! The Salmon, lobster bisque and the dessert are nothing less than excellent! It is my wife Sonjas birthday and our Hostess Angie was a super hero in how she handled everything!From beginning to end, EXCELLENCE!♥️💯♥️💯♥️💯♥️💯♥️💯Thank you for everything!Gene Testimony

Disappointing Fine Dining - tried to call multiple times to adjust guest count and let them know wed be late due to accident on I-94, but nobody answers the phone. $10 for valet. Host was snippy when we asked for the table away from the door because the piano was a touch loud. Servers are NOT wearing masks, so wondering if well get breakthrough COVID. Courses were rushed, apparently because the kitchen was going to get busy with a wedding party on first floor. Lobster bisque and Beef Wellington sub-part. Would not recommend.

This place isn’t for African American people. We had several issues with the employees. They made smart comments because some people arrived late. And it was a Caucasian group in the room with us and the manager walked up to them and asked them if they were ok. If not he could move them. Slammed the door in two of our guest face because they asked for a refund for their food. Chicken was bland and looked half cooked. The steak tasted just like a banquet TV dinner.

Everything a high tea should be. Only wish it had a cup of soup.Staff were on point food was great,the Whitney was a joy to walk through and see such fine workmanship. saved .

A fantastic experience. The food is very good and the staff are fantastic. Theyre friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the house.

I have been to The Whitney several times and always enjoyed my time at the mansion. Recently went there for drinks in the upstairs bar. Great service and fun with the bartender. The Whitney has so much character and beauty, I could spend hours there enjoying the decor, love going to The Whitney.

Service and food was good. Atmosphere as I expected.

Always love the Whitney. The Beef Wellington is to die for. Could be listed as an entree and dessert in my opinion!

Marvelous experience from the building to the food.

This is a great place to come tour and look around. The house is beautiful and it is apparent that it has been well-maintained through the years. However, that is as good as the experience gets. The food is way, way overpriced for the value you that you receive. The food tasted like it was made in large batches and served wedding reception-banquet style rather than being fresh and made to order, which anyone would certainly expect at this price point. We were sorely disappointed and will not be back for the food. For the money spent, we could have had a much better meal at another fine dining establishment in the Detroit area. If you want to see the mansion, I recommend paying for a tour and perhaps having a drink at the upstairs bar, but I would not purchase the food here again.

Food had great taste and presentation. The dessert wasnt the best though. It looks like depending on the room or location in the house that you are seated its a different vibe completely. Valet was terrible tonight. Only two guys were trying their best to get 20 cars after someones gathering ended and it caused a big traffic Jam. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny.

My boyfriend and I had known about the Whitney being a famed historic Detroit restaurant and were excited to finally experience it. We got dressed up and were prepared for an exquisite experience only to be let down almost from the moment upon arrival. A place like this seems like it should hold its grace, time period, and environment in its wait staff and the way they present themselves. We had to ask for napkins and silverware, and when our soup was brought out we had to ask for spoons to be able to eat it. The main course swordfish was raw in the middle, the bread was also raw and doughy in the center. Our bottle of wine wasnt brought out until half way through our main course. We sat outside in the garden and realized it had been overrun with weeds and not tended to at all this season. (Its August) the place had half the charm that we expected and we were incredibly disappointed. We waited 25 minutes for our bill and our food to be packaged. When asked how our experience was we were honest and they comped us a $25 gift card.

The ambiance the food the service was impeccable. The history alone of this little gem of Detroit is amazing. A must-go.

In short: 5 star venue, 2 star service and 1 star food. Here is a long complaint letter to the Whitney: I have been in love with this place since 2017. They take reservations for the first two floors and you can sit and enjoy your dinner. You also can come in and sit at the Ghost bar whenever with no reservations required. They used to have a wonderful snacks menu for the ghost bar and a relatively long cocktail list for upstairs. I used to go after work (also they had happy hour up there) and chill, eat and drink delicious food+drinks. However, their ghost bar snacks menu has downsized to only include bite size snacks sold at extra hgh prices. We literally got two standard shrimp, a decorated cucumber and a bite-size bruschetta for $15. See pics. The food is just mediocre, nothing special anymore. Shrimp, steaks etc. Just normal usual American food, no chef touches or anything special. The new drinks menu is very small. It is limited to 5 cocktails and wine and beer. Service is OK, or our waiter told us to see if we can receive the birthday special upstairs and never reported anything back. If you dont have special requests, you get what you want in terms of food + drinks. The venue is amazing. And i suggest you take a tour of the place starting at the second staircase that is labeled tours start here. Overall, go get drinks here and do the house tour, but really dont overpay for food please.

Im so disappointed with the experience my daughter and I had. We made a plan to see the entertainment on their patio and wanted to have dinner. Online the Patio Menu states that a full menu is available on request. When we arrived at the hostess stand we told them our intentions. One of the managers said we could not have dinner on the patio because the dinner menu isnt offered. We then said it states on the menu that its offered. He then said he would allow us to order from the dinner menu. He then proceeded to tell us two locations to sit outside. Either on the deck or on the patio. We chose the patio because we wanted to stay for the entertainment. He then asked the server to ask us to move to the back patio. We told him no we didnt want to because we were there for the entertainment. Our service was good but very slow because there were quite a lot of people on the patio. We understood. Martin and Jordan did a wonderful job. They had the entire outdoor area. The manager Darren stood by idly and watched as the two servers worked frantically. He even yelled and bickered at them quite a few times. Darren the manager even told the server not to serve water after the server gave one of the guests a cup of water (the guest did order drinks as well). My daughter and I went into the Whitney with a friend where he wanted his picture taken on the steps. I took about 4 pictures of him when Darren the manager interrupted us and told us to stop because we were interfering with the paying dinner guests. I have been to the Whitney several times and have seen many people taking pictures on the steps and in other locations of the restaurant. Guests were not disturbed. We did not block any guest on the stairway. This manager (Darren) is very rude and doesnt know how to treat guests or his employees. I was a paying guest. I spent $300 that evening and am so sorry I made a choice to dine there.

This place is amazing expensive but amazing!! The food and service top notch and the Ambience of the historic mansion is great for a date night. Ive taken my wife here for 2 date nights and its our favorite place hands down.

Stopped for afternoon drinks. A wonderful and unique experience. Beautiful place.

I went last night for my birthday and the food and atmosphere was phenomenal would come again

This was my familys first time dining at The Whitney.. Such an amazing place! The service, the food and the atmosphere are all top notch. Every course was a delight. The lobster bisque and the parmesan bread was delicious. The beef wellington was wonderful. Others at our table got the salmon which was also given high praise. My husband got the special...rabbit loin. He said it was a bit chewy, but none of us has ever had rabbit before, so that may be typical. Dessert was good.i had raspberry sorbet with raspberry puree. Others had the pastry chefs whim which was key lime whip in a white chocolate cup and a bit of chocolate cheesecake. Andrea our server did a wonderful job. We were celebrating three birthdays so those of us getting older also got a chocolate mousse. It was very rich and creamy. I had to share it because I was STUFFED. I would highly recommend for celebrating a special occasion. My daughter, daughter in law and I will be back for high tea in the future.

We ate outdoors on a warm August evening. The food at the Whitney is extremely well prepared and wonderfully plated. We sat near a fountain next to a beechnut tree. We couldnt have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

So after dropping over $600 for mediocre food at best, we got shooed out of the lobby from a tour guide, who by the way, came into our space while we were having a discussion. Please consider your clients before sending your well paying clients out the door.

Came for the Sunday Afternoon Tea and might have stumbled on the cheapest way to enjoy the top notch service, food, and setting even at $49 a person. Starting off with champagne or a mimosa. Than, moving through courses of scones with marmalade and Chantilly cream, huge strawberries and double cream, tea sandwiches and hot canapes, and desserts that are at the whim of the chef. You are not rush and can even get pop if you dont drink tea or an adult drinks ( that costs extra). Will come back with friends if I can.

My husband and I have been going to the Whitney now for a while. We have had many date nights there, we had our wedding there, and we will celebrate every anniversary there. Starting with the rich history of the building, the ambiance and beauty of this place is truly like no other. The food and drinks are a bit pricy, however the portions are generous and the quality is definitely worth it (We are die hards for the Beef Wellington every time). Lastly, yet most important to us is how welcoming and professional the entire staff is. Each time we go we enjoy seeing new faces to the Whitney team and love seeing the ones that we recognize from even our wedding. Our most recent visit this weekend, the new manager Jeffrey, our server Victoria and the bartender up at the Ghost Bar, Alfred were all new faces to us. They are made our night very special and memorable, from the extraordinary service, to the small talk, to the personalized menus, to the special anniversary gifts. We appreciate and love the Whitney and would recommend it to anyone as fine dining spot in Detroit.

Oh no...where to begin. The Beef Wellington pastry was not cooked underneath...yup raw. Everything..like everything...lacked salt. Service was unfortunately very very understaffed. An unopened bottle of wine sat on our table for over 20 minutes. Although the location is beautiful, dont come for food. Maybe a cocktail....

Exquisite dining experience. Service was amazing. Meal was perfect. Amazing cocktails and a great wine selection.

•Cold mashed potatoes. I mean cccold!•Very slow service. A glass of wine was delivered near the end of the meal. Overall verrry slow between courses.• Small portions. Do not plan to share a dessert!

Everything was wonderful, fireplaces everywhere, seating 💺 and service was perfect!Well worth the visit!!!

We went for dinner during restaurant week and were so delighted with the menu. It was 3 courses with choices in each category. We both ordered the same, black bean soup, pork chop with apples, bacon, pistachios in a honey glaze followed by pumpkin cheesecake. Every bite was a delight along with excellent service and atmosphere!

Restaurant was beautiful and the service was amazing! We got seated immediately and our waitress Anne was attentive and extremely personable. She went above and beyond for us in every way. We could not have asked for a better experience.

An absolutely must see for everyone who likes great food and pure class. Its a great atmosphere and fantastic service. I cannot wait to be back.

This experience was very so memorable NOT BECAUSE OF 2020COVID-19. My oldest child TREATED ME. Which all along Im thinking we having dinner with others. It was my pre MILESTONE GIFT I ENJOYED Everything and to LEARN a little about the Whitney. To share the HISTORY NOW Chef Omar is A BLESSED PHENOMENAL Cook ALONG with HIS

Food had no taste. Place has changed a lot after covid. Very limited menu. This place was much better before.

The best food and service 👍 in all of metro Detroit!! My wife and I went there for our anniversary and they rolled out the red carpet for us. Even gave us complementary champagne. It was fantastic! We especially enjoyed the live music. They played all of my favorites. There is no other restaurant in the Metro Detroit area that has comparable service ambiance and food. It is by far one of the best in all of Michigan! I would highly suggest it for guess from out of town, employees, any special occasion. Make sure you also take a tour of the Mansion after youve finished dinner the tour guide was outstanding! 😊👌😎

Always amazing and what a wonderful, warm vibe around the holidays. I highly recommend visiting any time of the year. You can free roam the mansion and there is so much to see. So many rooms and even a ghost bar! They say the mansion is the most haunted place in Detroit. The woodwork is outstanding. The stained glass is also unforgettable. Pianos and fireplaces throughout with wonderful staff as well. Come to The Whitney for breakfast, brunch, tea, lunch, dinner, dessert or drinks. You will not be disappointed!

Incredible experience! The venue/scenery, food, drinks, service, live music, everything is wonderful here. Highly recommend the mansion tea service, worth it!

A favorite place. Courteous and generous hospitality with a cozy ambiance. This is the place I feel I can come with close family/ friends to leisurely dine and talk with over an excellent meal. I never have to worry about finding parking, standing in the entrance for my reservation, searching down a server, sending something back, or raising my voice to be heard across the table. I highly recommend the ghost bar after the meal. The fillet- rare is a personal favorite.

Some coworkers and I enjoyed a memorable evening out for one of their Wednesday Wine Dinner’s.The food was magnificent. The live piano was a beautiful addition to the stunning atmosphere, and our server Jovani was incredibly professional - yet personable and fun at the same time!We also enjoyed some laughs and a brief history lesson with a few other staff members after the event.

Brilliant idea to put a high end restaurant in this historical mansion. Like most high end restaurants they strive for perfection and have quite nearly succeeded. Food was excellent and atmosphere very elegant. If anything at all was not to the customers liking the staff went out of the way to make things right. Enjoyed looking around the mansion and the Gardens while waiting for food. Free tours are also available

The most upscale restaurant in Detroit proper! White glove service and all. Four course dinner includes appetizer and dessert. They have their specialty Whitney cocktails and a limited Wine list. Valet service is $10. Three floors and a basement in the mansion. Great for a special date or occasion.

Such a Detroit treasure! These folks remember old fashioned service!

Great atmosphere and food. Extremely friendly staff. We had a great time.

Beautiful place. Wonderful staff. Food was very good but a bit pricey. And we loved the tour of the house after dinner.

Amazing experience at a wonderful historical Detroit icon. Drinks were superb, food was delicious and had a amazing historical tour. Couldnt be happier. $$$ though.

Absolutely incredible food! Amazing service from our server Jordan, even though he was knew he shared as much information about the mansion that he could, he was very kind and attentive, all the people who worked there knew it was my birthday and it was so nice that everyone told me happy birthday, never experienced anything like that before! The mansion was beautiful! Wish we could have seen more of it, next time we’ll definitely take a tour.Cannot wait to get a chance to go back!

It was awfully humid and hot today and the A/C didnt work unless you were on the 3rd floor. But it is an older place that is partly renovated for the 21st century, so its just something you need to deal with I suppose. I went there for my cousins tea time baby shower. Food was good. First adult drink was free and the rest was cash bar. Tea & water were free. We had to pay a bill for an extra mimosa we never ordered though..

Food is awesome. Our server Darius was fantastic!! His service is great and his smile and bubbly demeanor made our visit fun

We had a bridal shower tea and the food, service, hospitality was exceptional. We felt like royalty. Caring, nice staff, Kailey and Christina. Samantha the event planner a pure joy to work with. From the moment we entered the gate until we drove out, Thank you Tjank youDr Mary L. White

We enjoyed afternoon tea at The Whitney.

The most amazing experience!! The service was outstanding! Birthday experience was great. The food was perfect and the home is outstanding!! The history and the feel of the energy definitely is worth visiting.

Amazing location on the patio for a summer dinner. Our waiter Jordan was fantastic. Great service and food selections. Really impressive.

This place is beautiful and wonderful. Treated us like royalty, excellent customer service and attention to detail. Love this place will definitely be back, food was exquisite!

Unfortunately my reviews are based on the overall experience of a place. From entry to exit.Building, cool old place.Staff? 3 stars. Not as professional and refined as the menu prices would expect. Good thing gratuity was automatic for them. We normally tip 20% plus. These folks were 12 to 15% level.Food? 5 stars. Was very good. I struggled to accept the pricing because Im cheap and unrefined, but they delivered and the value for the cost was there. Best carrot cake ever.Service? 4 stars. Started very slow. Extremely long wait to even be asked about beverages. The meal service became far better.Why the 3 stars? Seating? - 1 star. The most God awful chairs Ive ever had to sit in. Ive had more comfortable seating in a dive coney place in the bad part of town. They have these chairs that are supposed to give the appearance of being as old as the building. Well as bad as they are youd think so. Until you flip one over and its made in China. Even the hostess warned the chairs are broken down.When you are seated for 2 hrs for a 4 course meal you should not have to keep adjusting and standing to relieve the misery. I woke up Saturday feeling like I sat on a bleacher seat for 12 hrs. Chairs, or refurbishment is not expensive in relation to the food prices.I cant hardly recommend to anyone to patronize the Whitney just for that reason until you can sit and not be in pain.

Kind and attentive staff, interesting building, good food and drinks! The experience was worth living.

Love love loved our intimate dinner experience! We enjoyed three amazing courses and two different cocktails. The building was great and the staff were polite and professional- some of the best service I’ve had. I found the prices to be a bit high until I took a bite of the beef Wellington and then it became very much worth it

Wonderful atmosphere and service.

Highly sophisticated ambiance, superior service and amazing cuisine. A crown jewel in the Detroit restaurant scene particularly at Christmas time.

I went on a Ghost Hunt last year and attended a Garden Party last week (Crashing Cairo Band... check them out as they are great!) Great food and the Staff is really nice! The burgers are amazing! It was a little less fancy at the Garden Party but still delicious. The meal with the Ghost hunt package was really nice!

The building this restaurant is housed in is beautiful and historical in a city filled with skyscrapers and modern technology. I feel this restaurant is more about the history behind the home and the owner of the home. The food was overly priced and not the best I’ve ever had for a close to $200 tab (not including tip). Their signature beef Wellington sits in a soggy plate of vegetables.I think it’s a once and a blue moon type of place for me. We were given a tour which was an unexpected surprise, but it became clear that the home is in need of massive repairs. I work in Architecture so certain items stood out to me…water damage in the ceiling, peeling wallpaper and the chairs need to be re upholstered. As I sat throughout my dinner I could feel the metal coils on my backside.The home is decorated in turn of the century Victorian, but this is why people return, the ghost stories, the story of the lumber magnate who builds and decorates his home custom to his desire who is tied to royalty. Crowd seemed older celebrating anniversaries and birthdays.

I went to my nieces graduation on Saturday at the Whitney we are frequent customers there everything was very good service was good but when we received our desserts my daughters had a live bug inside her dessert we informed the server and he looked at it and brought her a new one but when he came back he said there was not a bug in it it was a piece of chocolate but everybody at the table saw it and it was moving hey its me it was quite unsettling and not sure if we will go back there again

YIPPEE! Went to The Whitney while my daughter and I were visiting my other daughter. Went for High Tea. It was wonderful. The tea started with champagne or Mimosas. Next we had tea with scones and the appropriate spreads. Strawberries followed. After, we were served the three tiers goodies. Some of the tasties included cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, little crab tartlet, and desserts.It was a wonderful way to begin our visit. The house is beautiful, the service prompt and friendly, the pianist talented, and the good was scrumptious.

We had a fantastic time here before the Luke Bryan concert. You grabbed some drinks off the happy hour menu and really enjoyed the ambiance with our great friends. The whole place was absolutely fantastic with historical culture and fashion. The menu was plentiful and spray tan as far as happy hour and drinks. There is so much to see in this building is amazing. To think that Thomas Edison did the electrical in the building is just absolutely phenomenal.

Loved the dinning experience, with the piano playing in the background. I especially enjoyed the swordfish special prepared by the chef, it was outstanding.

Took my girlfriend and I here last night. I have dined here many times prior to last night. I have to say, the Aesthetics are nothing short of incredible. The service is also impeccable. But for my second time in a row, I ordered the Beef Wellington. The pastry was raw on the bottom. They didnt even make a mushroom duxelle. It was cooked button mushrooms sliced thin and put on top of the Wellington. Also, to top it off, they sent me raw vegetables on my plate and a burnt dare I say a cremated carrot. It was so black and charred it was inedible. The seafood my girlfriend got on the bed of orzo rice was amazing! I also ordered her a vanilla butter-poached lobster tail, which was also amazing. All in all just an average experience 2 times in a row going there. I truly believe the kitchen needs help on their beef Wellington. That was always my main selling point in going there and I have been disappointed the past two times.

We went for drinks and the paranormal haunted tour. If doing the tour, I recommend going early and getting a drink at the bar on the 3rd floor. Awesome night out.

I love this place, it is a piece of Detroit’s own history in preservation. The scenery is classic historic, very clean, friendly great service and the food is sooo awesome. Even when I am full, I do not want to remove my plate. I also enjoy the candle lit with piano playing, not cheap but worth the penny.

So I went here for the champagne tour, 10 dollars and make sure you tip your tour guide because he answered all these questions and knew so much!! We start at the third floor and make our way to the ground level. I went here also for happy hour and the food was awesomely fantastic!!

Came in last night for my 3 year anniversary and the whitney was quite the experience! Was a beautiful place with some amazing history! and our server Marvin was a superstar the whole night! If Im being honest though my beef wellington was way overcooked and underwhelming and the 7 layer cake was very dry but Marvin made sure we were taken care of above and beyond so my rating is still a strong 5 Stars! They made the night very special and even gave us a celebratory glass of champagne for the occasion and the host was very nice but I just cannot thank Marvin enough and I hope hes there when I come again in the near future!

The mansion itself was beautiful. The waitstaff could use a little more polishing for it to be an upscale restaurant. The food selection is small but stil very good.

Beautiful building 💚 such a special place to have an event. Looking forward to going back.

We attended a wine tasting. As always, the event was very nice. Service and food were wonderful. Unfortunately, due to space limitations and social distancing, we were ushered out very quickly.If you go to the Whitney (or anywhere else), you may not be able to stay for a long, relaxing dinner.

Excellent food, great service but pricy and small portions. I left still hungry.

The food was incredible. The atmosphere is breathtaking. The staff are extremely friendly. Good vibes all around. We can’t wait to come back!

Bartender in ghost bar was awesome and professional. Great drinks as always

We did not dine at the restaurant. We only went to the ghost bar. The mansion & garden are beautiful. The building is ornate with a lot of details, like stone exterior & gorgeous leaded glass windows. They have dark embossed wallpaper & dark heavy detailed woodwork. There is a curved, painted glass ceiling in the ghost bar. They give tours & it is a historic building.

The atmosphere is classic and being there makes you feel special. The bartender at the ghost bar did an excellent job making our drinks and even fixed us up something special for a birthday celebration. The food was excellent and I yearn to go back. Would highly recommend to celebrate any special occasion.

Great service and so friendly a perfect night out

I had the pleasure of coming to this beautiful establishment to celebrate my mothers birthday.The food was cooked perfectly, service was wonderful, and my mother enjoyed her dinner. It was our first time coming here, but we will absolutely come again.My mother had a pork chop, I had duck, and my sister had beef welington.

We had the nicest experience today at Easter brunch. The food was amazing, our server was exceptional. I love having family holiday memories that include this beautiful place! Thank you!

The Whitney is a historical Detroit landmark I hope is around for years to come. I have fond memories of milestones celebrated at this famous mansion.My Spouse and I celebrated her birthday with a nice view . The view was fantastic however the birthday special steak dinner was underwhelming. We ordered steak filet early special and Salmon with rice Bilaf . the steak came out burned It was disappointing to say the least. I would not order it again.Our server was awesomeb, her service was 5-stars. We were in good hands with her with the exception of the steak which she did not prepare.Detroit is not what it used to be. The city has SO many incredible restaurants to choose from. I still appreciate The Whitney from a nostalgic stand point but again it is no longer my number one pick for exceptional dining.I think I will try the brunch next time

Tea at the Whitney is a lovely experience. The tea and service was excellent. The food was ok. We went to McDonalds after.

What I consider as Detroits Tippicanoe Place... The service is outstanding. The food and cocktails are excellent. The architecture, art, views, and vistas are magnificent. If theres ever a place to celebrate a life event, this restaurant is one of the best places in Detroit do it.Definitely celebrate yours or a loved ones birthday in the Woodward Room. On the day of that persons birthday, the restaurant offers a 32oz. Prime Rib Suburban Cut (plus side and starch) for FREE with the purchase of a second entrée of equal or greater value. And coming in from Lansing, this is CERTAINLY worth the drive.

Amazing place with incredible atmosphere. The staff always greets you very kindly and food is really good. The only downside I see is the menu is a bit reduced but everything is really tasty.

Close. But still not the top. The Whitney has the ambience, the history, the atmosphere and the ghosts. But something about the way the restaurant is run puzzles me. It is not a 5 star restaurant, but it is close. I think it is the attention to detail that is lacking. No real complaints about either the food or the service, but I have had better and it is both hard to describe and disappointing.

We had dinner in the Woodward room. Very quiet quant room on the third floor. The prime rib special was well worth the money. The bread was the best I have ever had. I recommend the tour after the dinner. Jim our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the home. This restaurant is more of an experience than just good food.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with the wonderful staff at The Whitney. The food was superb, setting romantic and the staff were wonderful. The Beef Wellington was incredible. Thank you for a memorable evening.

The Whitney never disappoints!!! Went for Sweetest Day. I had the 16 oz Tomahawk Pork Chop with wonderful vegetables. Finished off our meal with the Ugli Cake. Our waitress was so nice....great evening.

Date night, special occasion or throwing a wedding. This is a beautiful place inside out. It has a valet service for $10. Reservation is must especially during holidays and weekends, you can even specify the table you would like to have reserved (if you have not been here - ask for one near to window facing Woodward Ave for late evenings)Things about this place that really stands out are the history, hospitality and amazing food. You will get a tour of this place every 30 minutes. Ghost bar on third floor is famous for being haunted and that’s how it got the name I guess.

Nice elegant environment and the staff is absolutely amazing here. Great food and such a great atmosphere! I had a great experience here, well worth a second visit

We came to the Whitney to have a drink and dinner for our anniversary. The night turned into a surprise, private engagement from my fiancé! Couldn’t have had a better night 😍

I was super excited to go here as I had never been before and the Whitney is iconic in the Detroit area. Overall, I cannot say for sure if I would return. The appetizers were tasty as was the lobster bisque. My steak was slightly charred on the top but still good. I requested my steak medium and it was closer to a medium well. The outer parts of the steak were well done as no pink could be seen. The cut of the steaks was excellent. My husbands lobster tail had a weird mushy consistency so we had to send it back but the potatoes and asparagus were delicious. The building itself is absolutely beautiful so that was a major plus. Our server was very friendly but not attentive. My husband waited over 20 minutes to get his drink refilled. I often had to flag her down when we needed something as she did not regularly return to check in on us. The Whitney is expensive so I expected more from the preparation of the food and the service. The overall experience did not blow me away. It was good and we definitely enjoyed our time but it wasnt one of our most memorable experiences.
