The Whitney Restaurant Bar - Aiken

Unfortunately, this restaurant is currently closed. However, we have had consistently excellent meals there in the past. It is our top choice for entertaining out-of-town guests, especially those from big cities with impressive dining scenes. This restaurant definitely holds its own against tough competition. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time, as even the bar tends to get crowded!

As a frequent single diner, and with many years experience as a bartender in high end establishments, I am fairly critical of the service I receive when dining out. Hats off to Jesse, who had several guests seat simultaneously at opening. He introduced himself, offered cocktails, as was extremely engaging with all the bar guests throughout my time there. His knowledge of the bourbon selection was profound, and he was extremely competent when describing the specials and other menu items. Also briefly met the chef/owner who is extremely talented as well. Enjoyed the Queens Roast and it was wonderful. Highly recommend this lovely and cozy restaurant.

Way to pricey for drinks and food. Shrimp and grits and a salmon dish, nothing special. I was expecting much better after reading the reviews. The place was not that busy; hope they can make a go of it.

The Whitney is currently closed for the summer season but will be reopening in the fall with a fresh menu. Be sure to stop by when they reopen!

It seems that as of June 21st, 2022, the restaurant is temporarily closed according to the sign displayed outside. It is recommended to call ahead before visiting.
