I am so excited to have a fine dinning experience available in the area and The White Linen restaurant will not disappoint. We reserved The Chef's table experience. It was a quiet, intimate dinner with Chef Adam serving you 6 courses, explaining each. Chef Adam made the experience very personable. The food was fabulous and each course complimented the next. The drinks were hand crafted with high quality ingredients and detail. The whole adventure was pleasing to the senses. I highly recommend.

This restaurant is spectacular all around! Anyone who complains about the price or portion size obviously doesn't know anything about cooking and what it takes to make food taste that delicious. And yes, that's directed towards you Mike. We've been there three times, each visit was unique and we never left feeling anything other than completely satisfied. Also, the staff are some of the best I've experienced in dining. I would recommend TWL to anyone who wants to experience what food prepared by a real chef taste like! We'll see you in December TWL!

You guys, we drove from Kansas City because I read about this restaurant being a James beard award finalist. So we got my mom to watch the kiddos and headed to Topeka for my 40th birthday meal. WORTH.THE.DRIVE. They have a 5 course tasting menu. The building itself is beautiful and historic. We absolutely loved the ambiance. They had Christmas music playing- and I love Christmas so I was a fan. We each had a cocktail that we loved. Mine was called something Soirée. It has this sprig of rosemary clipped to the glass so that every time you take a drink you get this amazing aromatic experience. Our server was super nice. We loved the risotto dish and the dessert- those were my two favorite. My only complaint was he was the only server- they could have used two. The experience could have been At least 30-45Minutes quicker as we arrived at 6:30 and headed home at 8:45. It seems all the tables had each course around the same time rather than each table setting the timing for our own meal. The food was worth it though so no big deal. It was around $200 pretipBut we felt very much worth it. We had a great time and will be back for sure!

One of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had. 5 course dinner took 2 hours 25 minutes. And that’s with asking the waiter to bring the dessert with the entree. The food was OK but not worth the price. The $70 scallops dish was 2 sea scallops and 2 one inch square pork belly bites. I could on but just stay away from this place. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
The food was good but given the prices, I expected to be wowed. The soup was lukewarm, at best. The server, while friendly, interrupted way too often and brought our food with his thumbs inside the bowls.

One of the worst dining experiences ever for us at the White Linen in Topeka. We have eaten at many restaurants around the world and this was terrible. Really don't mind paying a deposit to make a reservation, but instead of deducting it from your bill at the end, it becomes a separate refund, which of course I haven't received yet. The 5 course meal took 2 hours and 25 minutes from being seated to paying the check. They did not have the wine we chose from their wine list so we had a substitution instead. Bread is NOT included in their inclusive dinner cost. From $58 to $80 per person is the choices, depending on which of the 5 entrees you select. Each of the 5 courses are very very small portions. Things were so slow that after nearly 2 hours we asked that our desserts come out with the entree. I ordered the scallops. It consisted of TWO (2) sea scallops and TWO (2) one inch square pork belly bites, all for a price of $78. In a nutshell, DO NOT EAT here. The ambiance is terrible, the service is slow (regardless of whether it was the kitchen or the server), the food portions are very small for the price and the reservation deposit system needs attention. We will never be back!
