The White House has a prime spot overlooking the promenade, it is almost a shame you can not sit out on a terrace in the evening but the small dining room gives it is nice intimacy. I visited for a special occasion and noted that most of the tables were couples. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu... More

best restaurant in wellington. FOOD is Superb! Every dish surprised us on Saturday Night. We had a dinner in Logan Brown before but just a couple of dishes surprised us on that night. In white house, we tasted a different duck and beef. The skills of chefs can beat any restaurant we have ever been, even if the restaurant in... More

Divine food - stunning views over the harbour and good service

The White House seems to set itself a high bar - to offer a high-quality, European 'haute cuisine' experience, but right on the harbour in Wellington. And it largely succeeds.
