I booked a reservation for my fiancé and I for Valentine’s Day. Immediately received a friendly greeting at the door which was opened for us and walked into a very nice hotel lobby. The restaurant was to the left and the host was very welcoming! He sat us at our table and our waiter Brandon came over. Immediately we could tell that he was a kind and respectful man. Brandon made kind comments about my outfit and the importance of our time always having such a positive and kind response to everything. After we ordered and got our food we were given time to ourselves which was greatly appreciated. The food was amazing my fiancé had the Orzo Scampi and I had the 8 oz flat iron steak. It isn’t often my fiancé clears off most of her plate but tonight she did. Even after we ate and paid we were still topped off on our drinks when needed and spent time in the romantic atmosphere together. We left talking about how much we’d like to have another important date night with Cafe Whitney. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who is thinking about a date night here!

Went here for New Year’s Eve brunch…. 11:30an… olace was empty when we arrived…. We were seated promptly… my son and his friend ordered the double 1/4 pound burger with all the toppings .. we waited over 45 minutes for our food.. place was empty.. our food was ready and sitting under the warmer to be served. I went to the counter to retrieve our food and the hostess said she was getting ranch dressing for my daughter. She could have served the food and gotten the dressing afterwards.. burgers weren’t as stated on the menu.. they got 1 burger .. they said the description of the burger changed on the menu and didn’t tell us.. fries were cold.. I got the turkey club which was good.. but fries were cold after our food sat in the warmer for 45 minutes… waitress checked on us once … awful service.. menu deceptive…

This place should not have "cafe" in it. This restaurant feels high end and has quite a few gluten free options for the sensitive eaters. I enjoyed the halibut and my husband enjoyed the spare ribs. Highly recommend for a date night!!! Great cocktail list as well and happy hour during the week from 4-6!

Exceptionally good food that was in no way priced the way you'd expect such good food in such a nice restaurant. 10/10 am coming back. The chicken picatta was outstanding.
