CORA’S RESTAURANT
The doors are open, the glasses are clinking and Cora’s Restaurant is back at the White House Hotel. Cora’s has returned as the Coast’s classic dining room for Gulf seafood, steaks and cocktails, all served with the kind of hospitality that feels personal and unhurried.
Our menu centers on fresh Gulf catches, rich sauces, and Southern favorites, with a bar that knows its way around a martini, a pour of bourbon and a good glass of wine. Linen napkins, polished service and a lively room set the scene for everything from date nights to family celebrations.
Cora’s is where locals bring the people they care about and hotel guests settle in for a proper night out. Come ready for a real dinner and let the evening stretch a little.
