Our meal here was absolutely fantastic… We tried the hummus and liver pate appetizers to start, our companions had the salmon and we tried the lemon sole and lamb(the Volcano). Everything was so delicious and beautifully presented. Great service and yes one could carry on a conversation…

Lovely setting, especially wonderful since we could converse without shouting due to great acoustics. The fish & seafood in a flavorful tomato based soup was excellent. Steak & fries with Chimichurri sauce also delicious. Fresh fish dishes like the Sea bass & Lemon Sole were well prepared & the mashed potatoes were excellent as well.

Giving them an allowance for holiday overbooking, I was disappointed that our favorite local restaurant which we have dined at many times told us that we could either eat outside or wait an hour for a table - even though we had made the reservation 3 weeks ago. Very poor planning on their part. That being said, the staff was gracious as always, and the food was wonderful!

We had a wonderful fish dinner. Food was great. Service was great. Ambiance and decor were great. This was our first visit to Whitestone and we plan to make a regular dining experience. We noticed that nearby customers were also repeat diners.
