Whale Raw Bar

I'd love to try this place, but until this bar realizes that their beer list is seriously lacking, I'll not attend.  Put some respectable drafts in, and I'm there...and no, Stella Artois is NOT a good beer simply because it's from Europe.  Stella is the Euro equivalent of Miller/Coors/Bud...

On Memorial Day, I stopped in here after craving oysters. I was hesitant because of some of the reviews I had read, but decided I would give it a go.

We were the first to arrive when the restaurant opened, so we didn't have to wait for a table. Our server quickly took our order and made some recommendations. The food turned out to be really good and they had some decent drink choices.

I had the Reuben with a twist: mahi mahi instead of corned beef, raw oysters, and fried clams. All of it was very good with the exception of the clams; they were a little too crispy and lacked flavor.

All in all, the server was very nice and astute. I would come back next time I have another craving for seafood.

I really wish I had the opportunity to write a review on the actual quality of the food at Whale but unfortunately waiting an hour and fifteen minutes for my food wasn't enough. My brother and I visited whale just this past weekend on a quiet Sunday afternoon. We kindly placed our orders and waited......and waited.......and waited only to ask the waitress what was going on. She didn't even have the courtesy to follow up on our order or the issue when we made her aware of it so we had no choice but to leave. I would have preferred an honest response letting us know that she forgot to put our order in but our time as customers must not have appeared valuable enough. I think this review sums up that I will never return. I hope everyone had LOTS of time to wait for their food here.
