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.

Best restaurant in OC
by RPrevratil
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by fijjiii
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

I've never written a review but seriously must...

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 ONE highchair here" I laugh, "guess most people don't bring a baby here huh?" she laughs says "Yeah, no, sorry" I put baby in the car seat, no problem. 30 minutes later they seat another family next to us. The family asks for a high chair, the bus boy brings one over with an intact strap. Ours by the way is still sitting at our table unused. Huh? I ask her should I order appetizer A or B (she comments while smacking her gum the whole time) finally decide on raviolis after asking what's better, etc...she brings both appetizers. Ok maybe my fault??? We let it go even though it is a $40 appetizer! Then, the waitress brings champagne to our table but SPILLS 3 of the 4 full glasses on myself and the wife of the client we are with. Waitress is flustered and tries to clean floor, does not bring napkins or anything to help guests. My dress and the lady next to me have been doused. Next we order dessert sampler (fabulous by the way). and are unable to finish. I ask her to box it up. No problem. She goes in back, returns, no box. I ask for it. No problem. She again returns with a few pieces that are obviously not the ones we had left. I point this out and she returns with 1 more box also not the same but I let it go. We give waitress a gift certificate to take $75 off the $400 bill (with absolutely nothing comped in spite of champagne incident) . She returns with bill, no credit of certificate. We mention it. She says you must have given it to another blonde waitress there are a lot that work here. HUH??? No, we say, it was you. She goes searching, comes back with bill again no credit. Point it out again so she hand writes discount in. Seriously laughable at that point. We walk our client friends and my husband returns to speak to a manager who was very nice (and by the way had no clue about the champagne incident) and did comp a few things but we will never return. There are too many good restaurants out there to choose from to put up with this kind of service.
- Pros: Dessert sampler and raviolis.
- Cons: Service was quite literally the worst.
