The White House Cocktail Bar and Bistro in Highland

Such a gem in Inverness city center. Highly recommend the gin cocktail with apple and basil. Shoutout to our waitress in the glasses for being absolutely spot on as well, service was a 10/10

Dinner made for New Year's Eve, the dishes were correct as well as the drinks. The atmosphere in the room is excellent. The service was okay.

Had a lovely birthday meal here today the food is so lovely with generous portions. The staff are very friendly and helpful if you need something. Great cocktails and a great atmosphere 10/10

Food was fine but it took more than an hour to get our orders. And the place is quite noisy.

Had a lovely meal here on Christmas Eve. Lovely food and great service.

Sunday roast was delicious, would highly recommend it.

Amazing food and service. Thank you! 🎄❤️✨❄️🤍🫶🏻

Great service and place looked fab, very cosy and Christmassy but temperature was a bit cold! Food was very nice, Prosecco wasn’t great.

Work team Christmas Lunch. Nice ambiance with attentive staff who were warm & friendly throughout. Christmas menu food was excellent, vegetables in particular cooked perfectly honeyed carrots and parsnip. Not a soggy sprout to be seen. Absolutely nothing to fault and enjoyed by our hard working team. Thank you.

This was a great find, food was excellent, also great choices on the wine list, staff were all very friendly and welcoming, menu is predominately fish but there are meat courses available too, I had a steak and my wife had seafood stew, had a nice bottle of burgundy too. If I stayed in this area I would be a frequent visitor to this little gem.

Took a gamble coming here. Not great I’m afraid. Food was okay, but slow service. Stood at the door for ages, looked like the waitresses were all hoping for one of the others to meet me. They had a special menu on but you could only order from one menu or the other. So if like me you wanted the special main but a starter from the normal menu that was impossible apparently. What ‘manager’ thought that was a good idea? Gamble didn’t pay off. Won’t be back.

Excellent meal in a wonderful restaurant in Inverness. Ate here with family on Saturday night and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The menu choices allowed us all to select different dishes and every one was a winner. The staff were friendly, attentive and very professional. We will definitely visit again on future visits to Inverness.

Good, busy atmosphere. Food nice. Not much choice on menu however.

Limited menu. Pate came with extremely small amount of tiny Melba toast Nice decor but too dark. Almost needed torch to read menu Slow service Staff could have been a little more engaged Overall okay but not a great experience

Very pleasant ambience and polite, efficient service- ideal for a quiet lunch. Quality of food, unfortunately, was not great- certainly not value for money. I would return for drinks only but give the food a miss!

Highly recommended as it was to us, food was excellent and staff were friendly and helpful and polite.

food was amazing. service attentive. ambiance cozy cute. would def go back

Great Ambience for a nice dinner. I tried the Duck Breast, Vegetables Soup and finished with a pudding for dessert. Great plating and taste.

Probamos el excelente menú de almuerzo de £ 10, y la calidad de la comida era genial y tan buena relación calidad-precio. Solo un servicio fantástico de Sophie que, cuando escuchó que era mi cumpleaños de mamá, la sorprendió con un vaso de efervescencia! El servicio fue muy rápido - complementos al chef!

Super service, the girls were fab. Excellent meal too! Never felt rushed either. Thank you so much ☺️

Very good food, good cocktails, super staff. We‘ll come back!

Amazing service and amazing food will be back 🥂🥂 hospitality amazing

Great atmosphere in the restaurant and not too noisey. Food and mocktails were amazing. The duck main was delicious. Will be back!

Calling in on The Whitehouse after a local recommendation, I had timed it just right to take advantage of the 2 courses for £15 offer at limited times, I was met at the door by a warm and friendly young lady who showed me to table, I was looked after by this same person for the duration of my visit impeccably, the food is second to none both courses were delicious and although full when asked “ could I fit a desert in” by this same warm friendly and smiling “waitress” I said yes I’ll have the sticky toffee pudding please, now that’s service with a smile, although I say waitress she was much more, attending the door and seeing people to a table, taking orders, serving, clearing after each course and taking payments, it wasn’t a one woman show though as each “waitress” was similarly busy and attentive, so all in all from chef, kitchen staff and front of house, you won’t be disappointed with a visit to The Whitehouse

Extremely slow service and unprofessional staff, sitting there with empty plates for 20+ minutes and staff just looking and walking away asked for dessert menu waited over 35 minutes to get someone to come over to take order. Asked for some water twice and never got it. Food tasted really good as always, service used to really good but now it looks like run by teenagers with no experience or training.

Une délicieuse cuisine gouteuse et bien présentée avec un service adéquat. Dommage que la carte des vins ne soit pas un peu plus étoffée.

Dined twice over the weekend , absolutely fantastic service and care from the gorgeous Sophie and her colleagues . Food was amazing , cocktails were amazing . Service was fantastic, thank you so much Sophie for sorting our table and the awesome welcome . See you again in February/March next year .

The food was really tasty. I had the beetroot, feta & walnut salad with chicken which was absolutely delicious. The service could have been better. We asked for clean glasses with our second bottle of Prosecco. The young waitress took them then came back to the table with our glasses stating that the large table across had them all. At that point she didn’t offer to go and clean them herself so we had dirty glasses all mixed up for a new bottle. The music being played by the DJ was fab which made the atmosphere great 👍🏻

Love this place , warm welcome and told our favourite cocktail was ready for us , brilliant service from the gorgeous Sophie and her colleagues. See you again in February

We'd booked a table in advance as always busy. We were seated promptly and waitress took our drinks order then our food. Lovely menu lots of choice. We shared a started and had different mains all delicious. I tried a few cocktails from the menu which were lovely too.

We entered and all 3 staff were just petrified, the one closest to the entrance was staring into the abyss, until we finally got greeted by a waitress a bit further towards the bar. We got placed at the bar to order drinks while we waited for our table to be prepared - funnily enough it took the bar staff minutes to take our drinks orders, at which time we were promptly taken to our table. Despite taking minutes to prepare, the table was still sticky - oh well. We ordered the scallops as a starter to share and a main each. After an insignificant wait, we were served our scallops - together- with our mains. I had a pie with chicken, topped with mash, rectangular. My wife had a mushroom pie, round, mash on the side. The waitress said she "thinks that's the chicken" and handed me my wifes main. How can not tell these two totally differently looking pies apart? And why does the starter come as a side? Nobody knows. The pies were actually really nice, a highlight. The scallops were our real problem of the night - must've been 2 poor scallops, chopped into 8 pieces, battered and fried to oblivion. Those unrecognizable and forgettable scallops were 12 pounds, naturally we felt robbed. Last but not least I'd like to comment on the choice of beers on tap. No Scottish ale or lager, the closest you could get to a normal lager was Czech Pravha - which tasted like water. Overall an okay dinner, but too expensive for what it was. Service staff felt very young and untrained, rather helpless.

The food is great and of high quality, the service is super friendly and helpful. It also offers a nice, cozy atmosphere.

I always enjoy the ambience and my meal at the White House. I am gluten free coeliac and the food is so well catered for gluten free choice. I have been to the White House many times and have never had a bad experience. The cocktails are delicious also. The staff are very polite and very helpful.

We look forward to visiting The White House again soon

Had delicious cocktails. Quiet atmosphere, good service, friendly and helpful.

Servicio muy lento. Gastamos más cuando dos horas, el camarero trae cristales sucios. Comida no muy buena (precio alto). Ceascake fue descongelado erróneamente. Ojalá nunca vuelva

La Casa Blanca tiene todo lo que nos gusta en un restaurante: comida fantástica; un servicio amable, funcional y eficiente; un buen ambiente con una excelente decoración. Es un excelente restaurante en Inverness. No conozco todos los restaurantes de Inverness pero estoy bastante seguro de que este estará entre los 3 mejores de la ciudad. Merece una visita.

Staff were energetic and attentive without being over bearing. Food was really good and I had to double check the bill when it arrived as I had expected it to be more.

Went in for Friday afternoon lunch, quiet. Very slow service. Haddock goujons were very well done, we didn’t finish them. Very poor compared to previous visits.

Great service , great food, a little lacking in atmosphere at lunchtime

Nous n’avons pas eu de service, eau etc pendant près de 1 heure, sans avoir d’excuse du personnel

Both had the Sunday roast it was fantastic service was good too definitely go back

Nice atmosphere and ambience. Staff always very friendly and attentive. Food was good - nice to see a menu that's not just pretty much the same as everywhere else - although ££8.50 for a Caprese salad starter which is half a tomato and a few slices of mozzarella does seem a little steep. What really struck me though is the seat-pads were badly stained and the table sticky. A common issue where the tables are wiped with a cleaning spray but not properly cleaned. Layer after layer goes on until you get that thick sticky residue that's quite unpleasant. A good restaurant overall but some simple changes would really improve things.Nice atmosphere and ambience.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent

We weee so looking forward to our meal as have Ben to this restuaramt before but we’re hugely disappointed with the food quality . The service was lovely but unfortunately the food let them down . For example , the fajita macaroni was described as a spicy cheese sauce , but tasted like a tikka masala . It was penne rather than macaroni and had no taste of cheese or resemblance to any cheese . We received a replacement of the trio burger but was also a disappointment as no sauce. We will not be back u less we see any positive reviews

Nice dinner place with a good variation of food. Food quality was good, the Malbec did not please too much

Cenamos genial, la comida fue fresquisima, abundante y excelentemente preparada, muy buen ambiente y atención, no en barato, unos 30 u$s/persona, sin entrada, postre ni vino, pero vale con creces la pena,

Top quality food, highly recommend. The staff gave the best service and cannot fault the restaurant at all.

Nice place nice food and friendly and helpful staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious food. I had a venison burger with halloumi fries and a Passion Fruit Possot for dessert. I expected the potions to be a little smaller, and that's not a complaint. The service was excellent. A member of our group's meal arrived later than the rest of us. The staff immediately apologised and offered them a free drink unprompted, which was very good of them. Inverness has so many great places to eat, I figured you should check out The White House, too, on the list of places to try first.

Restaurant tastefully decorated and very cozy. Definitely the best cocktail I've had in my life! On the other hand, the soup was very spicy and this was not specified at all and the waitresses were not very pleasant, we had the impression of disturbing them.

Another highly recommended restaurant in Inverness. Great ambience and vibes for an intimate night with your significant other. Nice wine list and cozy surroundings. The Asian chicken noodle dish was a great dish!

Highly recommend the noodle salad with chicken! It was delicious.

The host who was seating people and helping on the floor was lovely and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. The wait staff were indifferent at best. The only time I had a spark of interest from my server was when I was paying my bill and the tip option came up on the credit card device. The rest of the time (maybe because I was a solo diner?) I was mostly ignored and had to ask for some things (water, condiments) more than once which the host ensured I got. I actually got my food before my drink! I am glad I stayed for the food as it was delicious.

Myself and two friends had a nice meal, my main was pretty average but both my friends said theirs was very good. Excellent friendly service from the staff made the evening.

Food with an unusual twist! Very well presented, great staff and atmosphere.

Fish and chips were outstanding. Disappointed 2 main dishes were not available because we specifically came for one. However, it was a great experience

Pop music for folks in their sixties. Had naan, tzaziki, humus, and babaganoush from the supermarket and a tasteless rice noodle vegetable salad along with a glass of ok Shiraz. Not on par with the excellent food I've had elsewhere in Scotland on this trip.

came for lunch with the girls yesterday and it was absolutely beautiful. Couldn’t fault the food, cocktails / wine were delicious and our host John was excellent 🫶🏼

The food was average. But the hostess and waitresses were not only rude and nasty but they were consistently rude and nasty. Go to The Musters Seed if you can.

Good restaurant tastefully decorated. The waitresses/waiters are very welcoming and take orders quite quickly. The meals are healthy and good. Small downside when paying, where we waited 10-15 minutes before being able to leave. We recommend this restaurant!

Thank you so much! Food was lovely and the cocktails were delish!!! Will return!!! 🥰

Good atmosphere, friendly servers who took forever for everything. Good food but tiny portions. I don’t recommend this place

Lovely place and good fun with lovely choice of cocktails

Lovely ambience in the restaurant. Staff are very friendly too. The food was great.

Staff was excellent! The meals were generally excellent as well. Only excuses the soup was served cool. Generally a wonderful place to go have a meal!

Pop Rock Martini !!!!!! We returned the next evening for another. Food was hit & miss, we had great mussels and butter board but we also had no flavor rhubarb ginger fizz and halloumi fries. Service is superb and the atmosphere is chicique with good music and stellar lighting. Voting Yes 👍🏼

Came for the first time after having an amazing meal the night before in Inverness. This was one of top 4 places recommended so after last night, was looking forward to the meal. So very disappointed. The pheasant appetizer was SO DRY, as was the pork tenderloin. I mentioned it to the waitress and she didn’t seem concerned nor offered any apologies or solutions. The service was also extremely slow. Ambience was good as were the cocktails. Overall a disappointing experience

A nice meal and good service. I had the sea bass which was very fresh and tasty. I also had the tomato and red pepper soup to start which was excellent. I would definitely eat here again.

We arrived into the beautiful city of Inverness, and after traveling by train for half the day we were quite hungry. The White House restaurant did not disappoint! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We shared the king prawns and the fish and chips(deep fried haddock I believe). Out of all the restaurants we have frequented in Scotland thus far, this fish was the best! Give this place a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Another great evening at this restaurant. Lovely surroundings, great food & wine choices, and fantastic staff. We are always made to feel so welcome by all the staff who, even when busy, ensure high hospitality standards across the board. Brilliant.

Solid atmosphere. Comfortable chairs. Attentive service. Good food with no frills. Fair prices for wine too. Reservation is recommended. Highly recommended.

Another absolutely gorgeous night here with amazing food, lovely drinks and always friendly service! Can never fault this place!!! Will always come back.

Awesome food, drinks and service! Would love to return when we’re back in Inverness!

Interior decor was dirty and in need of cleaning and painting. Upholstery was peeling off of chairs. Food- haddock and chips was over cooked, unseasoned and tasted of grease. Pasta gnocchi dish sauce tasted as if it was from a bottled sauce.

Visited this restaurant numerous times and never fails to disappoint. Service good along with tasty food . A fab combination.

The plates are too small. Little food. Very expensive for what they offer. No good idea for dining!!!

Myself and family came for breakfast. The service from Chloe and Adam was second to none . Very warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant and staff to anyone looking for great food and a relaxed environment .

Great vibes but the food was a let down. I share the perspective of the venison burger with the other guy down below- just not good at all I also never had someone offer me water at any point.

Great food staff excellent all in all a very enjoyable experience no hesitation in visiting again and recommending to others

Lovely food, wee had small plates selection, and coffee after, great prices, gorgeous interior, very friendly attentive staff, highly recommended

On August 25, we had the Sunday pork roast. It was very dry and not very good. We strongly recommend you do not get the Sunday roast at this restaurant.

We arrived a bit early for our reservation but were seated immediately. Everything was delicious. The weird thing was the music versus the ambiance of the restaurant. Club soundtrack vs fine dining. Some in our party had mixed drinks they enjoyed. The prawn appetizer was awesome. We were too full for dessert so can’t speak to that.

My gluten free wife and I dined here for dinner. I had the tangine, it was great. She had the steak salad and was very happy. Service was good, we rarely saw the same person twice, but we were taken care of.

Had an dinner here, and was underwhelmed. The service was slow, and even though we asked for water when we sat down, it wasn't brought to us until after we finished our appetizer. We kept asking for it, and they'd say it was on the way. This is not a fancy place, don't let the nice photos fool you. If you're looking for a nicer dinner out, look elsewhere.

Ordered sea bass - it was nice but consisted of one small single fillet of fish, 4 sliced potatoes pieces and veg…expensive for one bit of fish, not to mention odd, who got the other fillet? Then the new waiter remained at the table as we tried to scramble together the tip money from various pockets and bags, rather than just leave and collect it from the table once we left…awkward and hopefully someone will train him soon. This was the 5th restaurant we tried to get that night, all the others were full; unlikely to return.

The food was very good, the servers took a little bit to respond and even though the place was not full, it took a while to get our wine.

From atmosphere to service to food, our experience here was lovely.

Great welcome great menu lovely food but best of all the ambience, have been before but just love to come here. Sunday lunch was huge and so tasty. Staff welcoming. Drinks lovely . Will be back with family. Thank you for a lovely relaxing space and great meal,

Great choice for dining in Inverness. Except For the waiter who was distracted most of the time, the food and ambiance were great. We also loved that they have specialty drinks and food items for which proceeds go to a local charity. Great idea and reason to visit!

We had the best breakfast! It was so delicious, and the coffee was amazing! We ended up back for dinner and had just as good of an experience. I've already recommended it to a few local friends! Thanks for a great time!

The menu offered a good choice and we enjoyed the options we selected. Fresh and tasty food nicely presented.

Food was excellent. Really pretty place. Anyone ordering water should specify tap water though. Our server brought us a large bottle of Loch Ness water that cost 5 pounds. It's an adorable keepsake bottle though, so it's ok.

We had a nice breakfast. I need gluten free and the menu is marked well. Quiet area.

Great meal overall. Would definitely recommend. Food and drinks were on point.

This restaurant has the best flavour profile around. From the appetizers to the drinks and even the desserts are all balanced perfectly.

It was okay. Not great. Larger group, so maybe that was the issue.

Only two blocks from River Ness/Radisson hotel, our tour group enjoyed a meal at the quaint restaurant that features American [yuck!] and European cuisine [yum!]. It’s also a bar where locals gather. We were offered limited selections chosen the day before. For this weary traveler from Central Florida—where “fresh fish” is fresh from the freezer—I chose salmon accompanied by a chilled Sauvignon Blanc. What a treat! Anyone in Scotland want to adopt a 72-year-old?☺ The meal was topped off with vanilla ice cream and berries over a brownie. Double yum! Get presidential treatment at the Whitehouse. You’ll be glad you chose this restaurant.
