Editorial Review for Anaheim White House – by Leigh Niles Reason
In Short
The rich wallpaper, gold bunting, fireplace, impeccably set tables with gold chargers, glowing candles and chairs draped with silk evoke the feeling one has wandered into an A-list wedding reception. Built in 1909, this mansion-turned-restaurant is a unique find in Orange County. Why White House? Each room is named after a U.S. President. The menu is predominantly Italian with a nod to the French; highlights include seafood linguine, calamari steak and veal piccata.

Last night, we drove up to the valet, and were overwhelmed with the impressive, glowing two-story mansion with the contemporary canopy. Romantic lanterns lead the way from the valet to the entrance of the home. A twenty-five foot American Flag waiving on the front lawn... seemed symbolic: Heritage, history, setting the standard. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by three people, and we were taken to our table upstairs. I had never experienced a two-story restaurant... or old mansion for that matter! They had so many private rooms, some for families, some for business. We sat in the Roosevelt room, intimate and cozy. There were mirrors and and paintings on the walls. I think it was actually one of the original bedrooms of the house. Our service team was extremely professional, and not pretentious. They were almost like butlers :) We had their lobster ravioli appetizer. I almost ordered an entree of that stuff! It was honestly the most amazing thing my family and I had ever eaten!! I had also ordered their rib-eye steak. The juice literally came out as I pressed my knife against it. The server mentioned that the steak was a la cart, so I ordered a side of augratan (sp) potatoes and asparagus. Outstanding! I was excited to experience this European style of presentation and service. Lastly, we had the jackie o dessert assortment. If you ever go in a group of four or more, order this! You have never seen or eaten anything this impressive! It was like ten dollars per person, but pricless for the fact that my mother will never forget each detail of the dessert!!! That to me is VALUE. Our server had a European accent. He said he loved working at the White House because 7 different languages were spoken by the employees, each contributing beautiful elemenst of their culture to the dining experience. Thank you, White House! I am so grateful, that I want to make sure the world hears about you! Ciao!
Pros: I think the cliche, "Not just a meal - an experience," started because of this restaurant!!!
Cons: Not open for lunch on Saturdays

Never in my life have I been treated as such royalty. The white historical manor, sparkling with white lights against the evening sky posed as a stunning backdrop as we sipped champagne in the garden and waited for our table. The maitre'd seemed to genuinely care about us (and he was gorgeous too!). When he directed us to our romantic table by the fireplace, he actually took the time to get to know us a little, but was never imposing. The server was knowledgable and very helpful in guiding us through the wine list and exquisite menu. Our dinner was an elegant creation of culinary bliss.
Pros: ambience, amazing food, stellar service
