Reviews for The White House in Milwaukee, WI
Excellent. My husband and I decided we were overdue for a nice dinner out just the two of us, and we decided to try the nearby... White House that we pass every day on our way to work. Could not have been better. I think that was the best steak I've ever hadin my life. Read more
I am a notoriously picky eater, and I have been to a lot of restaurants in Milwaukee and typically only leave reviews when... things are less than stellar. But let me tell you the experience that I had at the White House this evening was borderlinelife-changing. The atmosphere was not only romantic and intimate but the food was by far the best I?ve ever had in Milwaukee.Chef Alexander?s menu had both my fiancé and I speechless! We chose from their great wine selection and started our meal withoysters Rockefeller, followed by our entrées (Filet Diane and they?re scallops which had the best sweet potato risotto) andthen finishing with the crème brûlée and pomegranate sorbet infused with tequila. Allison, the owner made a point to comeover and thank us for our patronage and to wish us a great meal. Overall 10/10 for both service and quality?I?m shocked theyhave not won a James beard award. We will be making a point to return regularly! Read more
Wow. What can I say what a great place to host a special event. The owners were very attentive for our celebration of life. They... have an outside garden that is just beautiful for reception and an inside venue that is very family-friendly for a group of 25to 40 people. Food was outstanding as well as the staff was attentive and friendly. It was just a great place to have thisspecial event. They even made personalized menus in memorial. The scallops, filet, and wild mushroom pasta were all delicious. Read more
I lived in Milwaukee for the majority of my life, so when I heard a friend telling me that we were going to The White House for... dinner, it conjured images of what the iconic tavern in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee. Fine dining was not what came tomind. Add to that, having lived in Las Vegas for the past 6 years, I have come to appreciate ready access to a multitude ofoutstanding restaurants and their respective chefs. I am reluctantly writing this review, because my fear is that it mightultimately mean getting a table will be difficult in the future. To say that I was surprised would be a gross understatement. From the moment I walked in, it was an escape from the bitter Wisconsin cold. I immediately found myself in a warm, cozy, andintimate space. I had been in the establishment in its previous life, and it was now transformed into a true fine diningestablishment. The character of the venue is subtle, welcoming, and classic. The historic bar and cooler doors on the wallanchor the room, while the plants and candles make you immediately feel comfortable. The staff understands not just the essenceservice, but making it personal. Allison, the owner, and Grant, the general manager, are ever present. I noticed not onlytheir interaction with me, but with all of the guests, making every table feel important, and valued. Finally, there was food. Every course was a wonderful surprise, not only in terms of presentation, but in every element of the dishes themselves. Presentation, layers of flavors providing both balance and contrast, and texture, carry through each of the courses. By thetime you are finished, it becomes difficult to say what your favorite part of your meal was. Chef Anthony Troisi has tremendousattention to detail, executing each dish with personal care. Milwaukee has numerous high end restaurants. However, I cannotthink of a single one that can present a such a complete fine dining experience as The White House. The histo Read more
Wanted to like this place per all the reviews. Two of us got the steak with truffles. Def wasn?t expecting the truffles so we... both were super excited. Steaks ordered medium rare, but it was just tough and stringy, just remember the outside being hard andnot a juicy filet. Nothing memorable about the dishes and I?ll have to say for $50-80 a main course dish, I expected a highercaliber of quality and execution of the food. Service was good, our server was pleasant, attentive and timely. Read more
Amazing Anniversary dinner at The White House Bay View! We?ve been wanting to check this place out for a long time and it did... not disappoint. The fresh daily menu was amazing from cheese board to burrata salad, escargot, Wagyu with parsnip purée andwhite asparagus, gnochetti primavera and amazing cheese cake dessert. We will definitely be back to an ever changing menu! Thisrestaurant is definitely the place to celebrate an amazing occasion. The hospitality here is second to none. #anniversary#anniversarydinner #finedining #wine #cheese #steak #pasta #cheesecake Read more
Beautiful setting, complete with elegant candle lit tables and romantic old charm. I kept rereading the menu and was already... thinking "I can't wait to come back here and try more!" The drinks and food were above and beyond. The Red Snapper, Hanger ofSteer, and White House salad (seen in pictures) were flavorful and unique. Every bite was perfection! Thank you Alison andSampson!

I had the opportunity to dine at White House last night. It was delightful. Our server was cheerful and attentive. The owner... was kind and had the perfect balance of casual conversation but also allowed her guests to enjoy their time enjoying the fineestablishment she and her husband have created. I really enjoyed the craft cocktails, both the La Fleur & the Aviator. I hadthe Veal Saltimbocca and it was rich with some delicious green beans and some sort of pasta/orzo mixture. My dining partnerhad the Steak Diane and stated it was tasty as well. The ambiance was lovely in that they had their Christmas Tree up andilluminated as well as some wonderful low lighting from the chandeliers. This may sound strange, but the bathroom was adorableand I loved the attention to detail from the lighting to the simple decorations as well as it being toasty warm, especially onsuch a cold night. I look forward to returning each season to see what the Chef creates for the cuisine as well as the craftcocktails. Read more
