We had our office's ball party in this place and we all have so much fun. After a long-days activity in the office that got all the staff worked up and hungry, we went straight ahead to this restaurant. I was kinda freaking out at first because I am so hungry already and thinking that the food might be served late. So I was trying to confirm with co-worker if we will not have to wait a couple of ...
Absolutely a good place to chill. I have tried many other restaurants for dates and events celebrations but always got stuck with poor customer service, bad food and dirty tables. But with Anaheim, I really could say that quality is their priority. The place is so clean. The draperies and the tables were neatly set. Even if there are other people that came before us, the table that was assigned t...
The second best place from your kitchen. The food is really good and superbly done. My boyfriend and I decided to go to Anaheim for a night out. I didn't encounter any problems that others were mentioning in their reviews. All I can say is that we had a great time chatting, drinking wine and enjoying our food. The presentation of the food makes the night even more special. I thank the staff of An...
Hey guys, just want to share my superb experience with Anaheim. I took my mom to this place for her 70th birthday. I was astonished when all of a sudden, the manager came in and gave my mom the special dessert for the day for FREE. Well, it is not about the ?free? thing but rather the special treatment. I don't know why they did what they did but my mom was absolutely happy and emotionally touche...
The best is here. Best food. Best customer service. Best place. Best ambiance. This is simply the best place to be. I agree with lots of good comments here. Although it is true that you can never ever please everybody, the good reviews that Anaheim white house has received so far are just so true. I for one has experienced how special they treat their guests. You will never get a bad look from th...
My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant just last night as a celebration of our one-year anniversary. I was very impressed by the beautifully decorated interior and immediately expected the bill to be off the charts. However, our meal was perfectly priced and affordable, and it looked like art.
The White House Restaurant is truely a botique experience! We sat in the newly accomidated Obama...
The White House is truely a hidden jewel amongst the busy streets of Anaheim. Upon arrival, my wife and I were immediately greeted by the owner himself, a cheerful and charming man. The walls and tables are decorated marvellously with white and gold, transforming the building into a fine dining experience. The service was fast, friendly, and reliable. I ordered seared salmon - and let me tell you...
I took my family out to eat at this place, and boy, what a surprise! The service was excellent, the building was spectacular (especially at night), and, although the rooms are classy, we felt right at home. My children especially enjoyed the experience. Both are teens, but they have eaten out at other well-known places. They loved the tart and are already asking to go back.
I still refer to this as my worst restaurant dining experience ever. I was telling someone about it this evening, which is what inspired me to write this review.
My group of 4 made Valentine's Day (2004) reservations in advance as we were coming from out of town (Nevada and Idaho). We were told that the Valentine's dinner was a set menu. No problem.
After waiting a bit to be seated, our part of...
I was really shocked to read the reviews on here. I surprised my husband for his birthday with reservations at the white house. We ordered the pasta sampler appetizer, it was delicious. Our server was so attentive, and the others made sure my water was always filled (which is a big thing since I drink a ton of water! most places can't keep up!) Our entrees were amazing, the shorts ribs were ...
The restaurant itself is ridiculously decorated, felt like we were at a wedding with with strangers all around us and very close to each other. No privacy at all, we all could hear each others conversations. Way overpriced was the food and drink. The worst souffle my husband and I have ever had, very eggy and soggy. We try souffles every where including Europe, they definitely have the worst...
We arrived to meet another couple for dinner, I called ahead asked for a back room because we brought our 5 month old- We arrive to find they have no note of our reservation, no big deal though, plenty of tables. We ask for a high chair. The wait staff brings a broken one with no strap, I ask for another so our baby doesn't fall to the floor. Our waitress (blonde, little) says "we only have O...
my dad invited friends visiting from outside the country to what was supposed to be an amazing dinner. they don't really know any better...thank god. but i did.
dad spent over $1200 for 8 people.
let me preface by saying that i judge a place by comparing what it claims to offer AND what it charges WITH what it actually delivers. so if i go to Chilli's i don't expect Providence service ...
Our family attended the special Easter dinner that the White House had and boy did it live up to my expectations! The staff was exceptional, the food was delicious and the ambiance was incomparable to any restaurant I've ever been to. I highly recommend this restaurant.
I have been there many times with different people and I have never had a bad meal or an unpleasant experience, the staff is the finest and food is the best and I will be back soon.
The ambiance was ethereal and generally elegant ( to some may be considered "gawdy" as my husband described it ), not the finest cuisine ( steak was dry and not cooked as requested , au gratin potatos were undercooked ), initially very inattentive service ( waited 15 mins before offered a drink; never offered another drink. I had to request another glass of wine nearly 2 hours into dini...
I took my wife to this restaurant after hearing about it from a coworker. A little more fancy than we are used to but we didn't feel out of place at all. The service was 5 star, we were really taken care of. The food was delicious, way better than I thought it would be. I was shocked that this restaurant existed, I have lived in the Anaheim area for years and never knew this little gem existe...
It has been several years since my last visit. Albeit the times are a little different today, but this restaurant was selling their chiefs cooking book while you are waiting to be seated for dinner... Tacky. Once seated, the table wobbled and the waiter was too busy running around to fix this for us...so I did it with their hard bread...what ever happen to their fresh bread???? The waiter was ve...
We went to this restaurant reading all the reviews of how expensive it is and planned on just getting an appetizer and drinks. We were so surprised that we were also able to afford a main dish! The food is AMAZING and the service was the best I'd ever had. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Even the house it's located in is amazing. We are definitely putting this restaurant into ...
Overall we enjoyed ourselves, it was a bit expensive for what you get, but none the less the food was good and the service was too. I probable wont go back anytime soon, but I wish them luck in this economy with the prices they have and the location it can't be easy. Apparently they have been there a long time and have always done well.
Amazing, amazing restaurant. From the time you walk up to the old style California mansion and throughout the meal, you are struck by the uiqueness and superior quality of the food and service. Very attentive, good looking waitstaff makes the whole experience one to remember. I recommened the special lobster/rib combination. I was convinced to switch to it after hearing the waiter describe it, an...
I took my wife here for our 7th anniversary. The outside of the builiding was nice. The inside is decorated gaudy, but was okay. We were sat at a table near a window in the corner of the main room when you walk in. Once we were seated we could see crumbs of food in every fold of the curtains next to the table as far as head level. We made sure not to bump the curtains so the crumbs would not fall...
If you want to dine in an upscale, very classy restaurant - then this is the place! You feel like you are in another world when you dine here! The interior is tops, the staff is professional, warm and efficient! The food is like nothing I've had before - excellent, and the presentation speaks for itself! The BEST!
Been here many times from table for two to events over 200 people, has always been an amazing experience.
Romantic for two, delightful ambience for large events. This restaurant has never failed to please.
Beautiful, warm, charming atmosphere and the very best food!
The fish soup was awful. The waiter recommended a veal dish that was quite mediocre. My wife liked the Sea Bass. There was nothing special about this place other than the visual from outside. It was sharply downhlll from there. I would not go back there, unless someone else was paying for this over priced and over rated food
i work at a nearby hotel and we always love sending ppl to the anaheim white house. we always get people coming back and saying how good the food was and what a great atmosphere it is. its a bit pricy, but as long as we say that up front its fine!
This restaurant is in an old house and each of the rooms is a separate dining room. The food is Italian and seafood and is world class. Huge wine list. Attentive service. Expensive, but a wonderful spurge for a birthday or anniversary.
We made a reservation months in advance for ten at the White House for our annual convention in Anaheim. Granted, we were a large group but honestly, I did not leave with a great impression overall.
We entered a 12' x 12' room off the staircase, gorgeous and well-appointed but positively stuffed with two long tables and the accompanying parson chairs completely filling the small room. Two prob...
My husband surprised me on our anniversary by taking me to the Anaheim White House. The building was very quaint and felt very warm and inviting. I had the Caprese salad to start and it was amazing. The mozzarella cheese tasted like it was straight from Tuscany! I ordered the short ribs and my husband had the special, the short ribs and lobster tail. They were both delicious. I had the souf...
This is one of the upscale restaurants in OC in the heart of Anaheim. The atmosphere is speedless and the decor is fabulous. The price is high, but you get the service for what you pay for. This is the 'must' go to when you visit OC
This is the place to go to impress your date, but only is your wallet is full. The prices are very high. The food is to die for. Service is everything you would ever want and the seafood here is excellent. Presentation, decor, they have it all.
Last night, we drove up to the valet, and were overwhelmed with the impressive, glowing two-story mansion with the contemporary canopy. Romantic lanterns lead the way from the valet to the entrance of the home. A twenty-five foot American Flag waiving on the front lawn... seemed symbolic: Heritage, history, setting the standard. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by three peop...
Never in my life have I been treated as such royalty. The white historical manor, sparkling with white lights against the evening sky posed as a stunning backdrop as we sipped champagne in the garden and waited for our table. The maitre'd seemed to genuinely care about us (and he was gorgeous too!). When he directed us to our romantic table by the fireplace, he actually took the time to get to...
Terrific decor, great food, European service, wallet-wrenching prices. Some of the dishes are plated as if Salvador Dali was in the kitchen. But I digress. Since The White House is in The Entertainment Book and other coupons are available, your sticker shock can be mitigated.
This is definitely a restaurant you should try when you're in a fancy mood.
It is such a pleasure to dine at an elegant up-scale restaurant in the OC where the staff is actually there to help you and to make you feel comfortable. Even the valets are friendly, polite and professional. The Anaheim White House is luxury dining at its best.
The first time I dined here was at a business dinner where the meal was prearranged: a pasta sampler for the appetizer, the Caesar s...
I must take time to write this review which is the least i can do as a thank you for the wonderful service & great food, yuo know ? there are restaurants where you go and think it was a good experience but the white house is by far a lot more than that, they have friendly yet professional servers & the food amaizing, my uncle is a very difficult person to convince of a good restaurant, but he sai...
Imperative note! This restaurant does not practice professional courtesy to their clients best interest. From my personal experience as a first timer. I booked reservations one month in advance hoping to impress my friends, a party of four. When we arrived there was a 20min wait with no lobby, or seating area. The waiting was to be expected as it was the obvious Valentines Day deluge. As we ...
The food was great and it was decorated very nicly.. i like to eat something that looks good too
the service was good...the food portions are very small but it was OK...the price was expensive but I like to try different places. I definitely want to try this place again with some of my friends... They only thing that bothered me was the mandatory valet parking...
PLEASE read this, if you are considering dining at this restaurant!
Decor - Awful. Besides being over the top gaudy, it's old, tired, and dirty. The seating is extremely cramped. You will be dining with strangers. We sat under a 50's style box speaker that was blown. "Don't Worry Be Happy" (seriously Bobby McFerrin at a rumored-to-be nice restaurant!)
Prices - Ridiculous! You can eat ...
I ate here 5 hours ago and I mst say...Yuck..The food I ordered didn't even taste like how it cost. Damn too expensive for nothing. I ordered an appetizer they call "Fifi..." and i gotta tell you I waited 45 min-1 hr before they served it to me and voila! there were just 2 raviollis on my plate with a bit of sauce. It cost about $17 I'm not kiddin for a 2 count Raviolli guys.then came the main en...
One month prior to Valentines day, I made a reservation for two at 7:30 with specific instruction to reserve seat next to window. They wanted $25 deposit to reserve a seat, so I let them charge my credit card.
When I went there with my date at 7:25 PM, the receptionist area was tiny, crowded, and the usher was not attentive. We waited 25 minutes and when we were finally seated, they seated us ...
We went to the Anaheim White House about 2 years ago on Valentines Day and we really enjoyed our experience. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to go there this year but boy, what a mistake that was?
When we made reservations this year, they asked us if we would like to be in the Catalina Ballroom, and without any hesitation we said ?Sure.? Once we arrived, we were shocked to see this ra...
My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and I had such a great time. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and definitely made me feel like it was a special occasion. The staff was very attentive and our server was amazing. He stayed on top of everything and anticipated all our our needs, he was also very entertaining. We had the tuna tartare, which was good but a very small portion, and...
I can't believe this place has a 5-star rating! I went here with a group of 5 people. We sat in a small room with other groups of people. The place had nice crown molding but was a bit to crowded. You have to pay for valet, so they can park your car 10 feet away from the entrance. The bread was rock-hard and this place is very fond of putting small amounts of food in oversize bowls. I think t...
I can't believe this place has a 5-star rating! I went here with a group of 8 people, with reservations, and we had to sit outside on a cold night. The outside is perfect for pictures, but that's all this place is good for. You have to pay for valet, so they can park your car 10 feet away from the entrance. The bread was rock-hard and this place is very fond of putting small amounts of food in ov...
This restaurant is beautifully decorated, the waiters are knowledgeable and friendly, food is great. Our party was accomodated even though we arrived an hr before our reservation and it was a busy night. Only drawback is that some dishes are pricey with small portions, but that is only true for certain menu items. The presentation of the food is gorgeous too! My favorite is the tuna tartare.
As I walked into the restaurant, at first I was taken aback by the light, beautiful decor until I got a distinct feeling that I was in a house of ill repute. Some people were in jeans, a fake piano was in site and we were seated in an icy corner by a window with a visible plastic cover. The food was nauseating. It truly seemed like a "wanna be upperscale restaurant", much like a "wanna be classy ...
The White House was a great experience - Everything we had was delicious - The ravioli was very tasty and the service was great ....go check it out....it's very cool...
My boyfriend took me to the Anaheim White House for my birthday... I hadn't heard of the restaurant before, but loved the food. We had the calamari steak as an appetizer, I had the special entree for the night (lobster tail and braised short ribs) and he had the NY Steak. We finished off with the grand marnier dessert (delicious). The NY steak was average, but the special entree was really good (...
Within a short distance to Honda Center and The Grove, this place has a head start in being the establishment of choice for a meal before the show. You can also specify what time you need to be out by and the waitstaff will do everything they can to help pace your meal, accordingly. The food is just fantastic, but not necessarily expensive. Prices are reasonable and coupled with an intimate, roma...
Italian haute cuisine is handsomely presented and deftly prepared. Velvety smooth lobster !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Anaheim White House Restaurant did not disappointed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Food is delicious and the service is impeccable?my place to go.
Went in for dinner last night and had an absolutely amazing time! This is truly the best restaurant that my husband or I have ever dined in. We have been to many of the best restaurants in the world and the food, service, and ambiance at the Anaheim White House are second to none. We sat at a little table by a window in the Ronald Reagan dining room that was private and romantic. There was a ...
Worst service I've ever experienced. We had a party of 18 people celebrating a "50th" Birthday. Reservations were made in advance for 7:00 PM. After being seated for 30 minutes, a party of 15 came and sat beside us. They had water, bread and appetizers within 30 minutes. We were still waiting. Two hours later they brought us water and bread. It was not until 10:15 PM that we were able to ...
Our event was held at Anaheim White House Restaurant, and I am very pleased with the outcome and received many positive comments from the meeting attendees, all of whom are senior vice presidents or higher in our organization. I am supremely confident that our next event will be at Anaheim White House again, and for sure will be a first-class event dinner.
The staff was impeccable; the food was ...
Had not been back for a few years, even better than I remembered. Our waiter was incredible. Asked for recommendations and he gave us descriptions that sounded like a recipe they were so detailed. In other words he knew his stuff. I had the Assortimeno di Pasta, that was just delicious, in this dish they give you four types of pasta in different sauces. I loved it ! If you are a big fan of Creme ...
From the front door to the fireplace, White House has all the style and warmth for an elegant evening for two or a casual lunch gathering with good friends, my wife and I had a really great night.
This restaurant is great because everything is homemade and has the high dining flair but without the attitude and high prices. We shared a dessert with homemade profiterolles, also the servers are re...
I had a business diner meeting last Wednesday! My clients thoroughly enjoyed themselves! They have a splendidly diverse menu, wine selection, Christmas caroling, and one excellent service staff made for a truly enjoyable evening! They clearly offer one of the finest dining experiences in the State!
Last week I went to Anaheim White House Restaurant with some friends, we were celebrating a birthday party of my girlfriend. The place is incredible, and they are already decorated for Christmas?so beautiful! Also they have snow on the entrance, so amazing ! The food was delicious and very different, traditionally Italian food.
And the most important thing, came up when I was talking to the gen...
We had a party of 25 people there it was fantastic! Only writing because I really loved that restaurant. The presentation is amazing, and the taste much better. I had one Lobster Ravioli, and my boyfriend one sauteed calamari, it is indescribable. The perfect dinner!
We had a private room, and no additional charges for that. I was very good to have this privacy and a restaurant, it seemed to be...
Last Friday I went to Anaheim White House with some friends, it was a birthday party. I'm writing this review because I'm amazed with the restaurant. The food was delicious and very traditional from Italy. The service was impeccable and all the people from there were very nice (Manager/Waiter/Sommelier). The wine list very extensive with perfect choices. We had an amazing dinner!!!!!!!!!!! OUTSTA...
The food was great but the ambiance goes way above and beyond. Felt like we were eating in someone's mansion. Service was impeccable. Highly recommend for a romantic evening.
I live in New York, and I was working in CA, Anaheim ( For a Convention). My boss and I have chosen to do our directors meeting in a restaurant, because the time was very tight. I made a reservation in Anaheim White House Restaurant. It was for 24 people, and everything was just perfect! We had a private room, with a perfect set up for our meeting, we also had all the requested equipment to mak...
Last friday I went to Anaheim White House Restaurant with my boyfriend, cause we were celebrating his birthday. Everything was just perfect, therefore, I'm writing to let everybody know about this place. The decoration is very charming and elegant, and very confortable as well. We both had a Romeo Gigli Salmon Chocolat, it was just delicious and different from any food that I ever tasted before. ...
Food was prettily decorated, but insipid and exorbitantly priced. Service was bumbling, unapologetically slow, and inept. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
I too wonder what Cat A is talking about. We've dined at The White House for years and have always had great food and top service. The upstairs dining rooms are great for groups. As others have mentioned, the prices are on the high side but well worth it for the specialty cuisine and atmosphere.
PROS: Original dishes, excellent service.
CONS: None
First off, Cat A. must have had a bad break up with her fiance or something because she could not be more wrong. This place is fantastic and I can not wait to go there again. I took a date there for our two year anniversary and they treated us phenomenally. The waiting staff was very courteous and helpful and the chef is amazing, the food was great! It is a bit on the expensive side (i think ...
my favor restaurant was on ktla today..great job guys...you deserved it.the private chef of princess diana was talking great about the dinner you will served saturday.
Wonderful experience. Food was terrific, the salmon over white chocolate mashed potatoes was delicious, so was the lobster ravioli and of course the grand marnier souffle, the best. Will definetly recommend and go back again
i totally disagree with cat a. i thought this place was phenomenal. i took my mom here for mothers day last year. the service was great. they were very helpful and knowledgable and polite. someone pulled out both our chairs for us. a different person brought our drinks, another took our order (which was a chicken dish and ahi tuna- both great) and helped us choose a fantastic dessert. the ro...
This is my 4th time back to this restaurant. I came for a romantic dinner with the lady and they don't seem to skip a beat. We were promptly seated and offered cocktails. I chose the presidential martini from their list - strong and good. The tuna tartare for an appetizer was fresh and flavorful and the Sea bass main course was incredible. In my book, The service is still one of the best in the c...
The Anaheim White House was recommended to me by fellow gastronomes and friends alike, so I can say that I entered the restaurant with high expectations and preconceived notions. Let me be the first to tell you, any standard that you expect to have met is met in spades at the Anaheim White House. The service was attentive but not overbearing. The food was easily the main event; my date ordered...
Who would bring anyone but a scumbag woman to a pretentious, cheap (yet highly priced place) like this? It stunk. Does that make it clear? BAD TASTE!
PROS: I see no pros, unless street walkers were hanging around.
CONS: Why my fiance would bring me to such a crummy place, I don't know.
Just had a business dinner in a private room nad it was terrific from service to food. Nice ambience at the gazebo bar.
the whole interior design & ambience was amazing. besides that, everything was just okay. the food was good, but it wasn't great to justify the extremely high price. watch out for their appertizer and dessert sampler plate. beware that there's no set price for them. they charge it according to the number of person you have in your party. if u have 10 ppl, and u order the dessert sampler, th...
This is a very romantic restaurant. It feel very homey and relax.
Outdoor patio with wine served(Got to paid), nicely and cozy and tight enough for that dining and flirting.
Food is not big deal.
Why? Becasue as I had said...NO BIG DEAL!!!!
It's not Italian, nor fusion, nor American...
It's a mixed of a confusing stuffs!!!
But you go here for the romantic surrounding to flirt with your da...
From the time we sat (and they messed up our reservation, btw) until the time we finally got our souffle, which took almost an hour to produce after we ordered it, it was 3 1/2 hours! We were only a party of 5. I expect it to take longer for a larger party. They tried to placate us with a freebie glass of champagne. I also had never paid $70 for a mediocre entree before. Presentation was silly, l...
This is such a beautiful place! They have 12 beautiful dining rooms with candlelit tables and fine crystal / china. The atmosphere is so wonderful with fireplace very romantic they even offer outdoor dining. The food is really good its definitely worth the money. Make sure you get a reservation!
The Anaheim White House was incredible! I took a few close friends of mine out to dinner, and we were all very impressed. We were greeted by waiters dressed in tuxedos in an elegant candelight dining room where my girlfriends and I feasted on four courses of the most beautiful food we had ever eaten! The filet mignon was delicious, and the presentation original. For dessert we splurged on the...
Unfortunately, we chose to eat here for Mother's Day dinner, mainly due to the other diners's recommendations on citysearch. We were there for THREE HOURS! We were a party of 6 and we had my five-year-old niece for this nightmare. It took 30 minutes to get a menu, another 45 minutes to get cold appetizers and more than an hour to get our main courses. The souffle that we ordered at the beginning ...
if you enjoy hip modern trendy venues, this is not the restaurant for you. if you want to enjoy a vibe that is both antique and elegant, drive on over. the service is worth the money. the food was good. i recommend the pasta pescatore (spicy seafood pasta). the entrees are named for various designers...i thought it was a cute touch. ORDER THE SOUFFLE FOR DESSERT! the restaurant is great fo...
I was told by some friends so I entertained bussiness clients and wow was I impressed. The restaurant was beautiful, nicely decorated for the holidays. The service was exceptional. Did not have to ask for a refill and there was always someone around to attend to us. The food was delicious and nicely presented. I definatley chose the right place to go. They made me look good and got the bussiness ...
Don't let the location fool you. This restaurant is one of the best in Southern California. The specialty cuisine is Northern Italian.
From the moment you enter, till the time you leave, you are treated like royalty. The service is attentive without hovering, and the food is superb.
Try the dessert sampler if you have any room left after your meal. The samples are great and the presentatio...
Everything from the ambiance & setting, to the food, & service was great! This is a beautiful restaurant set inside a charming historical mansion that just sparkles with brilliance. The food is a of northen Italian fare, but the taste & presentation is unique to the Anaheim White House!
I had a great lunch here. The meal was prepared fresh, & was the best presentation ever! I have had many meals since, but not one that I talk about as often as that one. I can't wait to take my Fiance.
