The Whitney — is one of Detroit's most renowned and elegant restaurants, located in a historic building that once served as the residence of a wealthy family. Opened in 1986, the restaurant quickly gained popularity thanks to its combination of sophisticated cuisine and an atmosphere of luxury that surrounds every guest.
The building that currently houses The Whitney restaurant was constructed in 1894 as a private residence for entrepreneur David Whitney, one of the wealthiest people of his time in Detroit. Designed by architect George D. Mason, this magnificent building is executed in the Renaissance Revival style using marble, glass, and wood.
After several decades of serving as office space, the building was carefully restored and transformed into a luxurious restaurant that has preserved its historical elegance while adding modern comfort for its visitors.
The Whitney combines the atmosphere of a classic American luxurious estate with modern comfort. The restaurant spans several floors of the building, each hall impressing with its design. Large windows overlooking the garden, opulent crystal chandeliers, elegant furniture, and antique decor items create an ambiance that transports guests to an era of great American elegance.
The menu at The Whitney features a blend of traditional American dishes with contemporary culinary accents. Chefs use the finest ingredients, many of which are supplied by local farmers and producers.
- Gourmet dishes: The menu includes delicacies such as roasted duck, beef with exquisite sauces, as well as fresh seafood and seasonal dishes that change based on the time of year.
- Cocktails and wine: The restaurant bar offers refined cocktails and a large collection of wines that harmoniously complement the dishes and add even more luxury to the evening.
One of the most attractive aspects of the restaurant is its garden. The open terrace and cozy green spaces allow guests to enjoy dishes and drinks outdoors, especially on warm summer evenings. Surrounded by trees and flowers, the garden is an ideal place for celebrations, weddings, and romantic dinners.
The Whitney is not only a restaurant but also a popular venue for special events:
- Weddings and celebrations: The elegant atmosphere of the restaurant makes every celebration unforgettable.
- Corporate and banquet events: The restaurant has several elegant halls, ideal for business meetings and festive parties.
The Whitney is more than just a restaurant. It is a place where luxury, history, and gastronomic experiences combine to create an unforgettable experience for every guest.
