About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Located in downtown Old Worthington, The Whitney House serves made from scratch, refined yet rustic, American comfort food. We utilize fresh and local ingredients and constantly look for new and innovative ways to serve our community.

The Whitney House pays homage to the homes and kitchens in our past that welcomed all, treated everyone like family and offered drinks and food made with love.

We opened the Whitney House because we love our mothers. Our menu is based on the glory days of Sunday dinners when the entire family would pile into the dining room (and the living room if we ran out of chairs) to sit, catch up and enjoy a delicious meal together.

We want for you to feel at home when you stop by the Whitney House. We are looking forward to serving you!

We offer Happy Hour Tuesday-Friday 4-6pm in our Tavern

Our patio is open and is sat on a first come, first serve basis and weather permitting.

    I’ve been to the Whitney House in the past and had a great experience, but today was disappointing because of the food, unfortunately. I ordered the brioche French toast and it came out cold. The waiter took it back and brought me a new one, but that was lukewarm at best. Another at the table had the same issue. It was also overwhelmingly sweet. Another friend ordered the short rib hash and the eggs came out very under cooked, with the white parts runny. I love the Whitney House, but today was a disappointing experience.

    Our service, food and drinks were very good. I gave it the overall stars because the lighting was far to bright and at time the music was really loud, both killed the ambiance. We'll be back though.

    This was our first visit. Brussel sprout appetizer was excellent. Skillet cornbread was also very good. We ordered the blackened chicken sandwhich and blackened chicken salad for our entrees. The seasoning on the chicken wasn’t our favorite, but the dishes were good and fresh none the less. We ordered the chocolate chip cookies for dessert, which unfortunately were hard and dry. Also had the olive oil cake which was very good. Coffee wasn’t hot. Very nice ambiance. We would return for another meal.

    The chicken pot pie was outstanding, the tomato soup , ok, didn’t care for the balsamic on top, the grilled cheese, ok, would have preferred more traditional with cheddar cheese, the beet salad and hamburger, outstanding. The service outstanding, the ambience is a little sterile, We will probably be back, but could use some updates and better music, and a little more class.

    We went for brunch. We had checked out the menu in advance. For brunch there are two sweet options & maybe 5-7 savory entrees. We wanted to try the french toast & the waffles. Our server informed us they had just run out of french toast & their waffle iron was broken. This was at 1:00 PM & brunch goes until 3. So we ordered a burger & short rib hash dish, along with breakfast potatoes, which were described as potatoes with onions, peppers & sausage. Sounds good right? Well the potatoes had no onion pepper or sausage to be found. The burger was decent. The short rib hash was meh at best. Black burnt Brussel sprouts, almost zero short rib. We were not offered a chance to order a second drink until we had finished eating. So brunch was meh.
