Great restaurant in town with buzzy atmosphere in an otherwise sleepy part of Westchester. Excellent cocktails and the pork chop is epic.

Killer. Great wine selection. Went in hoping to sit at the bar and have a meal, but it was packed. Ended up having a glass of wine and then decided to grab a seat for dinner. Husband ordered the shrimp chorizo burger. I had the wild boar ragu. We had the Brussels sprout app. All of the portions were large to the point that I envisioned leftovers. With that said, there are not enough words to describe how utterly delicious the boar ragu was. All of the food was tasty, but the ragu blew my mind. It took me right back to Italy. There was less than half a cup of leftovers on the ragu... The entire experience from start to finish was unexpected and delightful. The bartender was great and the server who took us at the table was excellent. We went in to grab a quick bite and beer at the bar and ended up spending almost two hours there eating, drinking, and chatting. I highly recommend it. Wish I had a photo! read more

Drinks were great and the service was good too. However, I ordered the half roasted chicken and it tasted very awful. Felt like it was undercooked and very little flavor. Definitely not worth $30 for the meal. Unfortunately don't think I will return. read more

Enjoyed lunch at this friendly neighborhood restaurant. Food was very good and so was the service. Relaxing atmosphere and pleasant neighborhood vibe read more

Good food but just be prepared loud atmosphere inside. Great service too. I had the beer battered zucchini fries. Yum! Branzino special was very good. read more

Great cocktails and dinner ! Had octopus and white bean/kale dip to start. My husband had the burger and I had the veggie burger. All was delicious and cooked well. Service was great! They moved us inside when I asked due to mosquitos with no problem. Would definitely return. read more

Incredible - best food, service and drinks around - Mark behind the bar is a gem, and Carol is our fave server - go love it!

I have been here a number of times over the years and I have to say their food game is much improved from prior versions of this restaurant space. The French onion soup with bone marrow is excellent; Brussels sprout salad is excellent; and Berkshire pork chop was cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful. If only the bar wasn't so crowded all the time! read more

A very disappointing dinner tonight. I will start by saying the service was fine insofar as the waiter was pleasant. However do not order the vegan curry dish which promises eggplant curry, jasmine rice and sweet potato. It's basically chickpeas in a tomato sauce with jasmine rice. We also ordered the apple crisp for desert to share, there was plenty of crisp and ice cream and very few apples. read more

We truly enjoyed our lunch at The Whitlock. Our group shared two appetizers to start which were delicious. Highly recommend trying the tots! For my main entree I enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was so flavorful. Looking forward to visiting again and exploring more of their menu. read more

Went today, food was bland- everything felt like it was missing something, and most things felt like they were missing a lot of things, none of it was cohesive. Drove over an hour a way for what I felt like was nothing. Someone who I assume was an owner or manager, was yelling at one of the staff right next to our table- there's a time and a place for things like that, and the conversation was upsetting; as someone's parent I would have been livid if someone was cutting down my child like that,(conversation was about his appearance; which I found to be totally fine)-the male staff who was manning the register (the one being yelled at), our waitress and the hostess were the few people who looked like they wanted to be there and were friendly, everyone else looked pissed. We spent over $50 per person not including tip, we were expecting to spend a decent amount because this should have been a higher end restaurant, never again. I hope who ever is on the receiving end of the money we spent, spends more time on their menu and training managers and staff and less time on "ambiance" and facade. read more

This place has an excellent brunch. The food is always tasty and the service is good. A friend and I go here about twice a month. The biscuits alone are enough to bring us back. They're to die for. Perfectly baked with butter and fresh jam. For my main dish I usually end up with the market omelette of the day. Last time it was with Swiss chard, mushrooms and green onions. My friend got the shrimp and chorizo burger. We always get the cheesy grits and the crispy potatoes as sides even though it's way too much food but they're great to have for later. Mimosas and Bellinis are poured nicely and you can even get a mimosa fight if you want a taste of a few different ones. Basically this is my go to for a solid brunch where I know the food is good and always consistent. The only downside to the actual place is that if the restaurant is full it can be loud inside. It has one of those industrial type of ceilings that doesn't muffle noise very well so it can get loud at times. Usually during brunch it's not a problem but for a late lunch or at dinnertime it can get overwhelming. Overall it's a great place. Service is good and food is tasty and consistent. Noise is the only downside. read more

Drove an hour just to try this place after following them on Instagram. It is a super cute and intimate place. We called ahead and there was no wait but when we got there they told us it would be 30 minutes. (They don't do reservations for less than 5 people) We decided to wait because we had been wanting to try this restaurant. After 40 minutes we ask again when we will be seated, we were then told it would be another 20 minutes. We wait another 20 minutes and come in only to be told they were still waiting for a table to be cleared even though they had other open tables. After being seated the service was slow, and the waiter rarely came to check in. The wings were great and so was the artichoke dip. However, the shrimp pasta was extremely bland and the pork chop was just eh the chicken was also nothing great. We each ordered something different to try different things on the menu and weren't impressed with any of them (and we are not picky eaters) I had to wait to get a server to bring me a steak knife because I only was given a butter knife to cut through a pork chop... It was pretty expensive ($25-$35) a plate for below average food. Slow service, poor food, but cute atmosphere. Seemed like most people were there just to drink and not so much eat- wouldn't go back. read more

I have used to come here when it was Willie nicks. I was hesitant to try the newly branded place but regret not coming here sooner! Ambiance was intimate and cozy however a-bit loud during heavy traffic times. Service is attentive and kind. Menu is unique and has something for everyone. Being mostly a veggie focused crowd we did just fine. Caviar topped tots were great. Cauliflower salad was light and tasty. We shared zucchini fries and spinach dip too and those were a nice compliment to our dining experience. Very much worth checking out if in the area! read more

During our most recent visit, we ordered the French Onion Soup with bone marrow, the Berkshire Pork Chop and the Kale Salad. Previously, we got the Chorizo and Shrimp Burger. Everything was DELICIOUS. The food is not only creative, but it is so yummy! The service is great - the bartender was super friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back for more! read more

A Saturday afternoon visit resulted in an extremely satisfying lunch. The "Tuna Bowl" arrived "fully loaded". The fresh ahi tuna - prepared medium rare as requested - over a sweet chili sauce included peas, shaved carrots, and kimchi fried rice - simply delicious. The Chorizo & Shrimp Burger - portioned large - was a spicy delight. With cheese, jalapeno, avocado, mixed greens and fries (or salad option) no dinner was required later. The Prosciutto & Burrata Sandwich was another winner. Service was friendly throughout our stay - dining room has a comfortable ambience. Outside dining option available on fine summer days. The Whitlock is a winner- read more

I've been hungry for a lobster roll and their BLT lobster roll did not disappoint! Their strawberry basil shortcake was a hit, too. Both traveled very well. (With a brand new car and all parks closed, we ate at home 40 minutes away) Will definitely patronize again!! I prefer delivery & even more so now. As far as curbside service has been concerned, this was my best pandemic experience thus far. No fuss, secure online ordering. No drama, contact free pickup. read more

July 2021, we love coming to the restaurant because the food is always so good, along with the great service. One of my friends ordered the Spaghetti Shrimp, Lemon Breadcrumbs, Chili, and Parmesan, and she said it was delicious, and she did ask for the Chili flakes on the side because she does not like spicy food. My other friend ordered the Pork Chop, spicy vinegar pepper relish that she thought was a little too spicy for taste, and in her opinion the meat was a little too dry. She told us it didn't taste as delicious as her last visit. I ordered the Veggie Burger with Fries and thought my meal was delicious. All and all, if your looking for great meal, you must give this restaurant a try. read more

Whilst driving down a local backroad, a young man shouted out his window "message from Whitlock, Oh you!" At first, I was shocked and a little frightened, but as I calmed myself, I felt enlightened. I had a mission that I needed to complete post haste, and complete it I did! I parked my car in a ditch and immediately ran to The Whitlock eatery in Katonah New York. It was aight. read more

Enjoy this spot with solid burgers. Nice outdoor seating and helpful staff.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon. It was quite a drive from my location but I checked out their Instagram and decided to make the trip. Honestly, I'm glad I did! The atmosphere there is really nice. Small restaurant right across from the Katonah's metro north station in their Business District. Staff was really helpful and nice. I had an enjoyable time eating there. I had tried their classic burger with fries (which was good). However, they have a couple interesting items like their shrimp and chorizo burger (if you are really feeling adventurous. Would I go back to this place? Sure. The restaurant can be used as a place to go and watch a sports game at the bar, or used to do a date night with your S/O. read more

Such a cute, quaint spot in the always-charming Katonah. I've had three really amazing meals here, and the service and general surroundings are equally as great. Their fries are amazing, so right from the get-go, toss concerns of calories out the door. I've also loved their burrata salad (I mean, if you don't like burrata, are you even human?), fish tacos, tempura green beans, tuna tartare, and salmon. Basically...everything on their menu is fine-tuned and delicious. The location is perfect, too, as you can walk your way through downtown Katonah after before either driving or taking the train back to where you came from. The Whitlock is a MUST try. read more

Had dinner at The Whitlock for the first time recently. Lovely upper scale atmosphere, friendly professional service and excellent food. Exceeded our expectations...Highly recommend!!! read more

Although the hostess who answered the phone sounded bored, I have now been two times and had a pretty good experience. It's a smidge on the pricey side, otherwise we would go more. Had drinks and apps at the bar the fist time and dinner outside the second. Ambiance is terrific. Wonderful feeling. Good beer and the cocktails looked yummy. Food was good bordering on very good. Could stand to mix up the menu a little. Will def be going back. read more

Great local place. Reliable good food and service. Nice place to eat when In Katonah...

I found the hostess at the Whitlock to be really classless, which totally ruined my experience.  I made an outdoor reservation, which the restaurant confirmed.  I show up and they say they have me down for an indoor reservation. I tell them that I am 100% sure I have an outdoor reservation and they tell me that I am wrong.  I look down at the piece of paper that the hostess is holding with the list of reservations, and I can see my name and that it says outdoor, and they still tell me that they have me down for indoor, as we both stare at their paper that says outdoor. I tell them I'll wait for outdoor, and they say it won't be too long. I proceed to wait an hour.  No apology, no free app, nothing. Just a totally classless experience. read more

When we were seated it took 15 minutes for waiter to come over for drink order. Food was delicious except my fries we cold and so over cooked they weren't eatable. Desserts were to die for !!!! If the bartender worked as much as he talked my drink would have arrived faster. Its a great place but service was slow, but verynice waiter and food is absolutely delicious read more

I was here twice in one month and both experiences were odd. The first time I sat at the bar and ordered the pork chop. It was rubber and pretty much inedible. The bartender mostly ignored me as he was too busy flirting with two women who were having a "girls night." After I drank my watered down cocktail and asked for a second round, he had the audacity to tell me to finish the remainder of the drink (which was melted ice) before he got me another. I did what he asked and then it took him another 15 min to get me another drink. He was running back and forth as though he had 40 people to serve and acted like he couldn't be bothered to get me an additional drink. Seriously? It was a Wednesday and there were four people at the bar. Maybe stop talking to the two married blonds and do your job? Ugh. My second experience was yesterday. I came in with an old friend for a long overdue lunch. We both ordered grain bowls. On the menu it states farro with kale, goat cheese, etc etc. What we got was a gigantic bowl of farro with two pieces of kale drowned in maple syrup. No cheese, no nothing. It reminded me of coco pebbles. Literally 60 minutes later the waiter dumped the check on the table. That was the first time I ever felt that I was being "table turned." I think the waiters are asked to time the guests. The waiter was nice enough as he was just doing what was asked of him, and thankfully I didn't have to deal with the pretentious bartender again but.... I'm done with this place. I don't get what all the hype is about. The food is underwhelming and the vibe is condescending. read more

Delicious and creative dining in a great setting. The staff are incredibly warm and offer great service. Recommend the brussels sprouts app (amazing!) and veggie burger. read more

On my list of new places to try this year & man it is a really great option. Cozily tucked away across from Katonah Train with outside seating for nice weather. Chef owner whips up really great grub. Don't miss lamb in blankets, fish tacos, spaghetti with shrimp, Brussels sprouts. Terrific service & great vibes read more

The food is great - love the caviar tots, a huge surprise and total game changer when it comes to tater tots. Also delicious are the kale salad and mussels. Fish tacos are also decent .. drinks are pricey but VERY good! I'm sure the entrees are delicious, but this is the kind of place my husband and I like to visit to share a bunch of appetizers, especially since there are so many and they're all good. read more

My husband went here the other night to celebrate our anniversary - it did not disappoint! It was only our second time eating at a restaurant since the pandemic began, and they put us at ease. We reviewed the menu on our phones and all of the servers wore masks. The food was delicious. We had drinks, appetizers, a main dish and dessert. We were really pleased with everything. Plus the service was wonderful. We cannot wait to go back! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm sad I haven't been coming here sooner! We did brunch and wanted to try a bunch of things. To start we shared the cinnamon rolls (slightly overcooked but good flavor) and tater tots (I was silly to think it was the good sturgeon caviar instead of the stuff you get on sushi but a great appetizer). For entree I had the shrimp and chorizo burger which was out of this world. Huge portion, huge flavor 10/10. My fiancée had the crab benedict and loved it. Big portion of crab for the price. We each had a mimosa flight which had a mimosa, pomegranate, and bellini. I also tried the new "Little Red Corvette" cocktail which tastes like fall in a glass. So good. Can't wait to go back. read more

The Whitlock is a nice bistro serving farm to table fare. It has a nice bar and the staff is very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. This was our first time there and it was for brunch & I can't wait to go back to try lunch & dinner. We started off our brunch with a Peach Bellini and a Grapefruit Mimosa, the Fresh biscuits with the house made Raspberry jam. The biscuits were light and buttery and the jam was velvety smooth, so good! Next we shared the Mushroom grits. The mushrooms were delicious, crisp and oozing with flavor & the grits were perfectly creamy. A great combination, I highly recommend. Our entrees were equally delicious. I had the Latkes Benedict, the latkes taking the place of the ordinary English muffin making the dish actually much lighter, with perfectly cooked bacon and poached egg with a hollandaise sauce that had just the perfect tang & a crispy mixed green salad. My daughter had the French Toast with whipped vanilla ricotta and raspberry jam (her preference) if was offered with blood orange marmalade and powdered sugar. It was very good with thick crisp bread. We also shared a side of maple bacon, sweet and crisp. Even the coffee was good. An all around enjoyable brunch. read more

Excellent food and service. The Lobster Roll and Bibb Salad are a huge hit with our family.

fries were soggy and oily. couldnt eat them tasted. so sad they couldnt get basic fries right.

Cute, warm environment with different, but traditional american chow. THe French Onion Soup had a bone with marrow sitting inside. That was a nice touch and added some different twists to a standard item. Not cheap for soup, but if price is not relevant, go for it. Main course was also excellent. Lively crowd and all in all a place I would return to. read more
