Doral Chenoweth Dispatch Restaurant Reviewer White House Bistro is a strong example of a chefdriven restaurant. Chef Terry Phillips commands a talented kitchen of a restaurant with a rocky history. When it first opened in 1996, the White House reached the top rung for fine dining. It closed in 1998, and Phillips moved to a Gahanna operation. The White House banner has returned, as has Phillips.
Lunches come with entree and side.
The piccata aspect comes from the capers and a lemon-butter sauce. It is not known whether President Nixon could have appreciated fancied-up chicken. We do know he liked ketchup on his cottage cheese. Also, he had some finer tastes. Nixon chicken, chef Phillips-style, will appear in the fall Dining Guide's list of favorites.
