    My wife and I made a reservation after some research on the establishment. We expected this to be a very nice experience. We had no idea that our evening would be so special and memorable. We were seated on the second floor directly in front of the large fireplace. Our server was fantastic. He was courteous, prompt, attentive, and delightful to talk to. And then the food was served...... Wow! My complete compliments go to the chef. Absolutely delightful. Needless to say that if you are in the area, this is a must experience to believe stop. Yes, it may be a bit pricey, but completely worth every penny. Thank you to the entire staff of White Horse Tavern.

    This is a great place to find good wine in all price ranges and with an experienced, knowledgeable wait staff. Our waiter knew how the food was prepared, how to pronounce it, and from what region it derived. He also answered our questions about the wine very well. The veal chop that my husband had was cooked perfectly and was delicious. I enjoyed every course, too. I would recommend this restaurant for those who care about good food and who might find the old house where this restaurant operates and its homey amenities charming. It's a bit tight up the staircase, and one gets the sense of eating in Nonna's dining room, but that makes it a culinary experience worth making the trip to lower Thames Street.

    Great experience from start to finish. Friendly and attentive staff with great menu insight. We were four and shared the ceviche, fall salad, buratta and butternut squash salad, and Spanish-style garlic shrimp as our first course. Incidentally, their house-made sourdough is excellent. Three of us had the filet special with creamy mashed potatoes and broccolini; the fourth had the chicken paillard, which was excellent. The house-made ice creams were very good, white pistachio and a RI-only Autocrat coffee milk. The crème brûlée, however, was very sweet. Definitely go.
