"For how much you pay to eat and drink there, it was NOT worth it. The customer service was lackluster as it took at least 15 minutes for the server to come greet us and take our first drink order. We had A party of eight so they automatically charged 20% gratuity... But I wouldn't have even given them 10% because of the lack of customer service. I felt like they were ignoring us most of the time and it took forever to get our food and drinks to us. If You decide to go here, make sure you have some time because it took us 3 hours to dine....not by choice. The food runners and water service were great.

I have tried this restaurant three times and each time was disappointing. The most recent was for my wife's birthday. She ordered a martini which they forgot to bring, then when they finally served our dinner she couldn't even chew her steak since it was so tough. There are many fine restaurants to choose from in the area that I recommend you choose from instead of Whitestone

Our waiter (I forgot his name) who also works at Javier's is truly amazing. This place has a warm and yet upscale feel. The decorations and outside fire pits added to the nice ambiance. The food was impeccable and the service is really top notch. We were lucky to get the gorgeous booth in the middle (there are only 3 amazing booths) and this dinner experience really made our trip. What a wonderful place!!!

it was my first time in whitestone. we have made a reservation on the website. very easy to use. the parking lot is a little challenging, very tight. the ambiente is very beautiful. we sat right away. the personal is very nice and attentive. wein is a little expensive. we had the oktopus I highly recommend! scallops and seabass were perfectly cooked! we went outside and they have a very nice terrace with a fireplace. it has a very nice bar with plenty of seating. I will definitely return.

"Updating my original review from 2 stars, which may have been a bit critical due to my immediate disappointment and frustration with the experience. Food is ok. Vegetables and bagels were fresh but too expensive for what you get in my opinion. I ordered the lox bagel and got a tiny portion of lox that didn’t even cover half the bagel my kid also got the lox and had the same size portion, point being I didn’t get a one off under portioned bagel. I seriously couldn’t even tell that I was eating lox if it weren’t for the familiar taste of capers. At $17.80 before tax, this was frustrating (Einstein lox bagel is $11.89). Inflation is real and I don’t expect the same price, but if I’m paying significantly more, I expect quality and quantity to be more, and it wasn’t. My other kid got the egg bagel which tasted like a Costco egg bite out of the microwave, I wasn’t a fan but my 4 year old thought it was ok and to be fair, at $10, it was a good sized portion. Another frustration, I ordered a “drink” and when I realized there was no ice tea at the soda machine I asked and they said I’d have to pay extra I expect I would have had the same response if I had complained about the portion of lox. Also there are no refills (on ice tea) which feels like nickel and diming customers. You order at the counter and wait to pickup your food made me wonder why they suggested a 15 20% tip when paying, maybe it’s standard for the POS system, but I would expect they do something to make my meal and experience more enjoyable. This place did nothing but take my order and make my food didn’t even get a smile. I have no problem tipping 20% when there’s good service by the way, just need to earn it. Overall, not an experience that would draw me back to this place."
