Had another wonderful dinner, this time for my birthday, here last evening. Our server, Avery, was wonderful. This is such a well managed place. Beef Wellington was amazing as usual. As was the asparagus and potatoes. Carrot cake too. Kudos to che

It is unbelievable how ratings appear regarding this
It is unbelievable how ratings appear regarding this restaurant. Yesterday it was almost empty. The service quality is average or below average. You feel the lack of experienced waiters. The lady behind the front desk had no clue nor any friendliness

Went here for the first time for a wedding reception.
Unimpressed overall. Parts of the building are really nice however some of the rooms guests were seated in had peeling wallpaper. The food was served cold and was unappealing. Small portions for a dinner meal and didn't taste good. I have no des
This is probably my favorite place in Detroit for drinks.
Very friendly staff, clean safe environment. Historic views. I wouldn't recommend the food here but everything else here is worth it
I have never given a 5 star rating.
...until now. The garden party at the Whitney is the perfect summertime experience. The music selection is eclectic and fun. The food is superb and the service is excellent. Looking for an upscale experience, the Garden Party is it.
For a supposedly high end restaurant it was very
For a supposedly high end restaurant it was very disappointing. The food was mediocre and the service error prone. Fortunately we were seated far away from the overly loud and bad piano playing.

Recently went there for High Tea and it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and very filling, the tea was lovely, and of course, you are surrounded by the elegance of the Whitney. We will definitely be back.
Breathtaking Historic Mansion
The Whitney in Detroit is an absolute gem! Housed in a breathtaking historic mansion, the restaurant exudes timeless charm and elegance. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the opulence of the home, which has been beautifully pre
Amazing experience
Excellent service and excellent food. Everyone so friendly and warm. My first time there but I felt like a regular. They invited us to look around at the mansion, didn't rush us at all, the atmosphere is so special
Felt like a movie star
I felt like a movie.star, I was treated so well. Jay at the Ghost bar is a true mixologist and drinks were $5 dollars off for happy hour. Brittany our waitress was excellent and even surprised me with hot lemon tea to soothe my throat. (Had a sore t
High tea wasn’t worth $125+ for two
Had high tea with my mother last month. Limited Valet parking, paid parking nearby on the streets. The high tea experience wasn't what I had hoped for at $125+ for two people. :/ We didn't get to pick our tea flavor at all, house tea w
A Detroit Dining Experience
Beautiful room . Beautiful exterior. Met by a gracious manager/ host and had a wonderful evening. Service was excellent as was the food. Make sure to visit the Ghost Bar for a pre or post dinner cocktail . Great bartender. A wonderful dining experien
Rude hostess and slow service - but excellent food
We had a nice dinner here at 5:30pm on 12/13/24. This was my fifth time here, and this time I did find some things a bit off. I found the hostess to be a pretty rude sadly. Among other things, she went to seat us in a small room that felt like it was
Good but not great
The Whitney in Detroit offers a stunning historic setting with impeccable architecture and ambiance. However, our dining experience was overshadowed by the overwhelming noise level, making conversation extremely difficult. The Pianist was excellent b
What an improvement from May ‘24!
What an improvement! We visited earlier this year and had a terrible experience - poorly tasting food, awful service, all in all, not a “fine dining experience” as they tout. However, we visited for Sunday brunch and it was spectacular in all way

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Whitney Detroit. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Whitney Detroit at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Whitney Detroit page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at The Whitney Detroit to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Whitney Detroit!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
