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.

    This was a really disappointing experience overall. First of all, our server was horrible. She was one of the most unpleasant servers I've ever had (as was her doppelganger that dropped off our entrees). It took a really long time to even have our drink order taken and the description of how the drink was served was literally opposite of how it came. We ordered an appetizer that never came - there was zero apology or even acknowledgement of the fact that we never received it. Usually the food is pretty good, but everyone in our party felt like there dishes were underwhelming. By the time it was time for dessert, we were ready to leave and skip my birthday treat. This place used to be amazing and each time we've come the last few years, it's been less good than the previous visit.

    The food was excellent, but... The service was very poor. We had reservations for 5 and we're seated immediately. It then 20 mine to get any service, even water. We told our server that we had concert tickets for 7, just to let her know our time-line. Then it took another 20 mins to place our order. We finally got our food at about 610. Just poor service.

    Food was great. Service was great. Ambiance was great. We had an Open Table reservation at 7:15 and were not seated until after 8:00. The seven of us had a tight squeeze in the bar. Very disappointing considering we were celebrating a birthday and an engagement. No apologies were offered. No visit to our table from a manager. No effort to acknowledge the late seating. The only good was by the time we were seated, no other customers were in the restaurant. So the noise level was excellent. Not sure we’ll come back even though we’ve been there several times before.

    We made a reservation but didn’t get a table until 45 minutes later. There was not a place to sit so we stood to wait. Once we got a table, we were seated by the exit door so we had frequent blasts of cold air throughout our dinner. It just wasn’t the experience for which we were hoping. All that being said, our server Emma was excellent and the food beyond delicious!!

    Sunday supper pasta and salmon recommended. Sprouts are terrific as well as corn bread. Molly was a great server. Thanks

    Loved our brunch here with the exception of the service. The bartender I believe was our sever, but as they became busier, we were very neglected. We were having to flag down other severs to get drink refills, sauces, etc.

    Service was a bit slow especially checking back on drinks but they were full. We were disappointed they don’t do the short rib on Saturday any longer. Appetizers were great.
