Read moreI made reservations on Tuesday for a party of eight for a Saturday night reservation which was then followed by a confirmation phone call by the restaurant on Saturday. I confirmed for party of eight. Once my party and I arrived on time for our reservation, I informed the hostess our party was no longer going to be for eight due to members of our party being sick and were not going to be able to make it (this would have allowed you to seat another party of 2 or 3 and keep a table for 5). The hostess handed a buzzer to me. FORTY minutes later we still were NOT seated at our table NOR been notified at the time of being given the buzzer because we were a party of less then six people we would be placed back on a waiting time.

Read moreJust celebrated my daughter’s 25th birthday at The Black Whale yesterday and had to write this review and let everyone know about this hidden gem on City Island. A small, quaint, quirky, magical, Alice in Wonderland like place that exceeded my expectations. Thanks to everyone at The Black Whale for making my daughter’s birthday a magical experience. I found out about this place by reading their reviews and they not only lived up to the many reviews I read; they knocked it out the park! From the moment I called to make an inquiry and spoke with the owners granddaughter Luna, I was sold! She was amazing from that first phone call to the very end of the night after we left the celebration feeling full and well satisfied. We celebrated in their courtyard out back under an eclectic covered patio, which was reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland! The evening was magical, the food fabulous and the staff amazing! Hat’s off to The Black Whale, their owner, hostess, wait staff, cooks and everyone who helped to make my daughter’s birthday a memorable one! Also a very special thank you to Luna, who is the Gem of The Black Whale. Please go check it out! They...
