   The staff was very thoughtful in seating in this small space. They suggested a table toward the back away from the cold, front window. The food was spectacular! The mezze appetizer was perfect. The lamb special was amazing. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

   Review for White House Taine Restaurant From the moment you step into White House Taine, you feel as though you've been transported straight to Morocco. The vibrant decor, the fragrant spices in the air, and the inviting atmosphere set the stage for a truly unique dining experience. The hospitality provided by Mohammed and the entire staff is outstanding. They make you feel welcomed and valued from the very first moment, ensuring that your experience is nothing short of exceptional. Each member of the team shines with warmth and attentiveness, adding to the overall charm of the restaurant. As for the food, it is a flavorful journey that delights the senses. Every dish is crafted with care, showcasing fresh, healthy ingredients that burst with authentic Moroccan flavors. Each bite feels like a celebration, and you can truly taste the passion of the chef in every creation. One of the added perks is that White House Taine is a BYOB restaurant, making it easy to elevate your meal further. If you have any Moroccan wines at home, definitely bring them along to enhance the experience. Overall, dining at White House Taine is a culinary delight that you wouldn't want to miss. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining adventure.

   For starters, we were seated for 45 minutes before even getting to order. Meanwhile, we had a bottle of wine to open (it’s BYOB)… it took an hour to even get a corkscrew. Prior to that, we were told they couldn’t find their corkscrew. When they found it, the young waiter (super unfriendly) simply dropped it on the table. Meanwhile, the main course, a lamb tajine arrived after an hour and consisted of the lamb shank and literally a quarter of a potato, cut into two pieces. The menu advertised it as coming with Moroccan bread. However, no bread was brought until AFTER we had finished the lamb. Our appetizer, chicken pastilla, arrived AFTER the main course and arrived cold. We will never return.

   We have not been out in a bit and found this little gem. Food was outstanding and service exceptional. Felt like we were family. I also liked BYOB. Overall cost seemed high but we got a lot and food was worth it.

   Felt rushed, before even get the order in , we were told that we need to be out by certain time. Waited for 15 mins to get a server serve us. Gave us plastic water bottles and when asked for regular water glasses , we got plastic cups and then when I asked for actual water glasses, we got beer glasses. Food was okay, nothing special. Overpriced place, service is lacking

   I never leave negative reviews, but this is warranted. It’s unfortunate that what started with much excitement quickly turned to disappointment due to a disorganized and distasteful experience. With eagerness I booked a reservation weeks in advance to celebrate my birthday with my lovely girlfriend. When we arrived, it was packed to the brim which is understandable for a highly rated restaurant. We were met by a frazzled and disinterested waiter who said they were full and displayed no interest in trying accommodating us. All hope for a great dining experience immediately disappeared. Once we realized nothing was going to be done about our reservation, I kindly let the waiter know not to worry and that we will cancel the reservation. This was met with indifference and no effort for a resolution or even an apology. We were really looking forward to enjoying a beautiful night celebrating my birthday and instated were left with a disorganized, disinterested, disrespectful experience. To management: Please don’t allow reservations online if you’re unable to accommodate them. If by chance you do, please have staff who can properly handle the situation with professionalism. Disappointed.

   This was my second time here in a month. It’s a lovely little place with authentic Moroccan decor. The food is generally very good and presented beautifully. But I am a vegan and found out after biting into my FELAFEL sandwich that is was full of MEAT. A HUGE NO-NO. How do you get that wrong? Also the wait staff seem to like hiding in the kitchen more than serving customers. I’ll come back but the place needs some attention.
