In Short – The rich wallpaper, gold bunting, fireplace, impeccably set tables with gold chargers, glowing candles and chairs draped with silk evoke the feeling one has wandered into an A-list wedding reception. Built in 1909, this mansion-turned-restaurant is a unique find in Orange County. Why White House? Each room is named after a U.S. President. The menu is predominantly Italian with a nod to the French; highlights include seafood linguine, calamari steak and veal piccata.
So awful, I'm reviewing it 5 years later...

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 four was taken to a table that would have been small for a part of 2. Our knees were all smashed under the table, and by the time we left we sere stiff and sore.
The food was fine (nothing memorable), but took FOREVER to get... which I thought was odd considering the set menu.
When our bill came, it was wrong. We were charged for another tables entire alcohol bill (which nearly doubled our bill).
The decor of the restaurant is tacky and a little 'haunted house' if you ask me. And when we were there, it smelled very musty.
I know we would never, EVER go back. And I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. For the price, it is definitely not worth it.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Everything!
Best restaurant in OC

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 cooked to perfection! We finished with the souffle, one of the best I'd ever had. To top everything off, the server brought us complimentary champagne in honor of my husband's birthday. It really was a fabulous evening. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone I know!
- Pros: Food and service
very overrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!!!! My husband and I eat out 5 nites a wk. and will never return or recommend this place to anyone, (maybe someone we dislike) haha
- Pros: waiter
- Cons: the rest
