In 1894 “The Whitney” became home to the family of lumber baron, David Whitney Jr., the wealthiest man in Detroit at the time. Today this iconic turn of the century, romanesque revival mansion-turned-restaurant retains all of its charm and refinement while appealing to contemporary tastes. You will find a unique presentation and flavors to never be forgotten.
The Whitney offers award-winning cuisine that is elegantly American. Our unpretentious wine cellar can provide the ideal libation to compliment any of tantalizing entrées from the land, sea or garden. Enjoy some of the world's finest dishes prepared by master chefs. We invite you to plunge into our Brunch, Dinner, Dessert and Tea.
Be sure to participate in a Paranormal Dinner Tour or indulge in Afternoon Tea. Discover more upcoming events at The Whitney on our website.

The myriad of private dining spaces are ideally suited for parties sizes from 10 - 400. The Garden is also available as a unique and colorful oasis for warm weather functions.
