    We asked to sit on the quieter side and were pleased that we were able to converse normally. Our waitress was excellent and besides being very responsive and friendly she brought our attention to a prix fixe option that was not listed on the menu. Food was very good and we left very satisfied with our experience

    The holiday motif / decorations make a big impact ! They did a great job of getting into the Christmas theme. The brunch food was pretty good - the breakfast pancake tacos and crunchy French toast were our favorites. The service was slow because we said we needed a few moments. We waited for some time for coffee to start us off - we warned if you ask for a few extra moments to think you are likely to wait double to triple that & then the wait staff don’t always check in on you even when it’s not fully busy ! also if you ask for real sugar for coffee you might be better off bringing your own - they had plenty of artificial sweeteners though ! Overall the company of friends and convo always helps any place - glad we celebrated the new year together with a pretty view :-)

    amazing food & drinks! The service was not great, especially with the restaurant not being relatively crowded. the best part of the dinner was getting copies of our pictures being taken!

    It was such a let down, I was so happy to share the Whale experience with my friends and family and they were out of Tuna and the wait staff was disorganized.

    We were seated for 40 minutes before anyone even took our drink order. Waited another 20 minutes and never saw our drinks. Only saw our waitress once over the span of a full hour. Not her fault, she was the only waitress responsible for the entire dining area. Maybe hire more staff? We left very disappointed.

    The wait staff was overwhelmed because they were understaffed. Our server did a great job but management should have helped more! We felt terrible for our server - she was working so hard and we still had to wait a long time for food and service

    Nicely decorated for Christmas! Food was absolutely delicious although we had a little bit of a wait. Christmas drinks were very tasty! DJ played from 1pm on: hated that he didn't let songs play in their entirety. Definitely will be back!

    This is about my 5th visit and it always exceeds my expectations! Server was attentive, food was great and the festive holiday atmosphere was amazing. Next time I visit may come for brunch but I will be back!
