  “Wife and I wanted a casual meal on Friday night in Inverness and were walking in the downtown area when we came across the White House. Menu displayed interesting options and our first impression of the location was very good. Friday nights in most "tourist" destinations generally produce restaurants with loud music that is bothersome and prevents conversation with your dining partner. The atmosphere was far more sophisticated but still lively/chill at the same time. On to the food. My wife's first choice of baked salmon was unfortunately sold out (a good sign for future visits), the replacement sticky ginger tofu was tasty and well presented. My choice of soup of the day with a small bread side was well made. Service was attentive. I was impressed with the restaurant and its offering but I was more impressed by our server Connor. He represented the restaurant in a professional, caring and mature manner that belied his position in the restaurant. I actually thought he was in management until he told me otherwise at the end of our evening. To management - you chose this employee well. He represented your brand at the highest standards that left me with a very positive impression of your business. Good employees are difficult to find and then keep. I think your business has found a young person that could advance quickly if given the right opportunities. Over to you management to do so. Respectfully Ron.”

  “A beautiful restaurant and bar by the Victorian Market area. Thanks Google reviewers for sending me in the right direction with your comments and pics. Just came in for a Gin Martini and the bartender helped me select my local gin and served it stirred...perfect. The tempered chicken was served with a spicy sauce and also red peppers...so good on a cool night. Got a special viewing of the Youth Pipe Band after dinner.”

  “It’s a must visit place! The food was incredibly rich in taste with a creative touch. The cocktails were amazing and the bartender created a second cocktail based on the first one I chose from the menu. Perfect spot for great dinner and cocktails!”

  “The White House was the first meal we had after arriving in Inverness, and it ended up being a wonderful surprise. We hadn't made dinner reservations for our first night and simply stumbled across the restaurant, deciding to give it a try. We're so glad we did! Both of our entrées were delicious. I ordered a risotto, and while the menu only offered the option to add chicken, the staff was more than happy to substitute salmon instead. Not only was the dish exceptional, but they also didn't charge an additional surcharge—they simply charged the same price as adding the chicken, which was a thoughtful touch. We also enjoyed a couple of fun cocktails, and the atmosphere made for a great first evening in Inverness. Every member of the staff was kind, accommodating, and had a wonderful sense of humor. We'd especially like to recognize our server, Ben, who made the evening especially memorable with his friendly service. We would happily return the next time we're in Inverness!”

The staff are clearly passionate about what they do; they were consistently helpful, attentive, and quick to offer great recommendations without being overbearing. Would definitely recommend 😁.”

  “We originally had reservations at another place but it turned out to be a table crammed next to the bar, loud music in a tiny place, surrounded by people trying to get a drink. No waitress - we would’ve had to yell our order to the bartender. So we left and happened upon the White House. We walked in and had the most serene and delicious experience! The risotto was so flavorful I wanted to lick the plate clean but being that I added chicken I couldn’t even finish it! My companion got the chefs choice - 3 course meal with the beef appetizer, venison main, and pistachio crème brûlée which we shared. Everything was perfection. So glad our plans changed and we ended up here!”

  “LOVED this restaurant for our dinner in Inverness in August 2025. I picked them for their ability to accommodate gluten free. The fact that they had GF Sticky Toffee Pudding was a bonus. The food was divine and so were the drinks.”

  “Had a lovely dinner at The White House on my first night in Inverness. I had the Fish Cake starter which was perfectly prepared and plated. For my entree I chose the French Onion Pie. It was nice, but was very heavy on the mash. I tasted wonderful, but was a heavy dish for sure. No complaints, just hated Inwas only able to finish half. The roasted carrots and snap peas were lovely as well. The decor and atmosphere is upscale, trendy. I didn't try any of the numerous cocktails, but they all looked superb. All in all, a wonderful first dinner and I would definitely recommend.”
