This place is centrally located in Laguna Beach with a variety of food to choose from. I had the taco's while my GF had the chicken ceaser salad and both were very good. They also bring out bread..The price was pretty good most plates were under 12 bucks for lunch.

The food, service and ambience were perfect for Sunday brunch. My husband and I both loved our food. The special chicken enchilada omelette for Cinco de Mayo was flavorful and fresh. The barbecued chicken salad was excellent as well. Be prepared-portion sizes are huge! We could have easily split either entree and the sides that came with them. Prices were... More

The White House has been serving customers in Laguna Beach for decades, and it is popular with locals. We have only eaten there three times in the last 20 years, and each time, the food and service have been between average and very good--not bad, but not enough to keep us coming back. We feel that locals like it because... More

Went there for a nice romantic dinner on a Sunday night. We got there at about 8pm and were surprised by how empty it was. We were the only ones having dinner and there were about 4 people in the bar. We had heard the live music started early on Sunday night and we wanted to have a nice dinner... More

Good food, changing specials, good value from fish to beef. Sit on the patio and watch the walkers. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at the White House.

We absolutely loved our meal at this place. We started with Seared Ahi Tacos, fantastic! (I could eat them all day) I had the Pasta Lagunaise (something like that) with shrimp and chicken, this was amazing as well. I highly recommend this spot on PCH, plus they had really good live music. Our server Travis took excellent care of us.

We dined at the White House after reviewing 5-star reviews. For those who know food preparation and wine, as we do, here is our review: wines - average wines (sent back a sheraz and cab sauv: no nose or fruit; waitress brought a pinot noir: so-so); food: salads were very overdressed (ate only 1/4); requested white rice with dinner (made...

We went to the White House with a large group and were pleasantly surprised by the music, amount of seating and the prices for drinks. We were there at night so it is converted to mainly a dance club. Lot's of fun.
