My wife and I recently went to the White House Restaurant and received sumptuous food impeccably presented with matching wines. This provided a delightful experience in Wellington's Oriental Bay where we could look out over the Bay enjoying the tranquil afternoon. Thanks for providing great food and a memorable experience.

I'd have to say that the White House is amongst the very best restaurants in NZ. The service staff are excellent and the food is outstanding. The presentation of the dishes is immaculate and the portions are generous compared to some other fine dining options in Wellington (i.e. Logan Brown where you need to stop off for a burger after...

We came to Wellington to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Based on online reviews we decided on the White House to dine out for our last night in Wellington. We had high expectations and are happy to say they were exceeded. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Our waiter seemed a little nervous but... More

A group of us went to The White House and the food was excellent. The service was also very good. The prices were on the high side but expected for this quality. All in all a very enjoyable night. Recommened.

Four of us had the degustation menu, always risky when I am a seafood eating vegetarian with a partner who has a fish allergy! The restaurant managed it superbly with no fuss and no prior arrangement. Highlights included the very simple "flowerpot' dish to start - the combination of pumpernickel, goats cheese and truffle oil really worked, the duck and... More

Have to say we baulked at the degustation menu price as travelling on business but with clients so we needed to do something special. After climbing the stairs the maitre d seemed formal and I sensed this was going to be expensive but - I am so pleased we decided to stay for an a la carte dinner. What an... More

My wife and I ate here recently to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We were hoping for a special experience and The White House certainly lived up to this. The service was exemplary, the food was superb, and we enjoyed some wonderful wines by the glass (fantastic selection of by-the-glass options), and ambience of the room was very good.
