The White House - Davao

Fine dining pretend The White House is a beautiful restaurant in a heritage building with a show kitchen and all the trappings of a fine dining establishment. The atmosphere is excellent, but for everything else, from service to food, there 's still room for improvement. It started pretty bad when my choice of wine (one of the house wines) was not available.This should not happen in a restaurant with high ambitions. But in a real fine dining restaurant with a good management, had such a faux pas occured, it would have been fixed by a complimentary upgrade to the next bottle of the same grape and country of origin. Problem solved, customer happy. But here the clueless waitress suggested me a bottle with completely different characterics than the one i asked for. Again, this should not happen, if you don 't have a clue, don 't make recommendations. Anyway, we finally ordered our food, one menu 'Alsace ', salmon sashimi and the trio of foie gras (let me check if this is available first, sir...hum). The food at the White House is interesting and creative, Japanese-Mediterranean fusion, and it 's obvious that the young chef is talented and bold, even if not all dishes worked well (foie gras and blue cheese don 't go together well). I really enjoyed the salmon sashimi, the glazed pork belly and the japanese cheesecake. The biggest disappointment was the aforementioned foie gras which i 'd really been looking forward to, but which simply didn 't work for me. Prices for food and wine are reasonable for such a fancy restaurant and the quality of the ingredients, however, service and consistency of the food could and should be improved

Well, a very fancy restaurant. Just that it’s too pricey for very common Japanese foods. For Japanese, it might not worth the price, but the place is very hidden and nice. Not bad

It's quite an experienced...located off the main road...if you missed it...that's it. It's a different food choice for the regular Filipino meal. All Japanese menu but great service I must say. Do call for reservations. Greatly recommended. Enjoy.

Excellent eating, excellent location, relaxing atmosphere. it will cost a bit, but it will be worth considering.

Cozy restaurant with a great atmosphere. good for people looking for a stylish place with unique diners. priced, it is at the top end.
