Had a lovely tea at the historical Whitney.
The food was delicious and the service was excellent.
The tea itself was very nice.
Note that the Whitney's tea service does not allow for a custom tea selection, though you can request a decaffeinated tea.
What is nice is that you have a tea pot and warmer on the table for quick refills-- though our attentive server did most of the refilling for us.

Shannon, thank you so much for visiting The Whitney and leaving us a wonderful review.
We truly appreciate you, and look forward to making many more memories together in the future!

Easily the best meal I have ever eaten! The entire experience was phenomenal.
Our servers, both in the bar upstairs (a really cool experience in itself) and Regan in the restaurant, were both excellent! Even the manager made us feel welcome and made sure we had a great experience.
The building itself is absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you, Kathy, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed your experience with us and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

We came to this establishment last night for a Double Date for Valentine’s Day.
The Mansion is beautiful.
We loved the architecture, everyone was super friendly.
We weren’t sure where to park so we ended up doing valet for $10 which wasn’t bad at all.
We were greeted right away.
We were early so we were told to walk around or we could go to the bar area in the 3rd floor since that’s where we were going to be seated as well.
I loved the atmosphere it was very dark and mysterious.
We ordered a cocktail.
I got The Witching Hour and my husband got the Eighteen Ninety-Four.
They were both delicious.
We were seated right at the time of our reservation which was 7:30.
Our waitress was Maddie and she was wonderful.
We decided on the 4-course meal.
The sampler trio was okay.
I ordered the garden ceasar salad and my husband ordered the lobster bisque.
They were both very delicious.
My favorite was definitely the bread.
It had a crunchy cheesy taste that was amazing.
I ordered the orange smashing salmon for my entree and my husband ordered the seafood saute.
I had ordered mine without the cous cous since I’m not the biggest fan of it and asked for it to be replaced by mashed potatoes.
When my ordered arrived though it came just as it was with the cous cous.
I asked Maddie for the mashed potatoes and she grabbed it for me right away.
The deserts were okay as well.
My husband loved all his food and drinks.
Overall, the food was good.
I enjoyed it, but it was a little bland for my taste.
The portions were small for the price but still worth it at the end.
We were satisfied with our experience here yesterday.
We enjoyed a tour of the mansion after dinner.
