Reviews for The Black Whale in The Bronx, NY
Wonderful experience. We got there as soon as it opened, a group of 4 people and we had a great service from the people that... worked at the restaurant. The food took a little while to get to us, but we ordered the main courses that require more work anddetails, so since everything that we choose was made at the home made at restaurant, it was super worthy. The food itself wasexcellent, we ordered the salmon, the meatloaf, the special of the weekend and the chicken (highly recommended!!!),everything’s cooked perfectly. The restaurant have a beautiful decoration, the space is cozy and beautiful, so you candefinitely enjoy a meal with your family, friends or a date. Great experience! Read more
Updated review!!!!! The food was really good BUT they sneaked in a surcharge if you used a card that was put on a small piece... of paper in the check envelope thing They should have told us before we got the check if this is a new policy so I guess paywith cash when you go I love this restaurant but this wasn’t like this the last time I went which was like three weeks ago.Also when asked the waitress said to ask the owner about it who wasn’t there… Read more
What a cool spot!!! So happy to have found this awesome restaurant with such excellent service. The staff was wonderful and very... inviting, and the ambiance inside (and in their adorable back garden) = unmatched. Food was also excellent, and they let us sitin front with our dog (and brought him ice water!!) That’s how you stay thriving after 60+ years I guess. We’ll be back verysoon! Read more
Dinner in the outdoor dining space was really nice. Good cocktails, fresh and tasty food, attentive wait staff.
Cute ambiance restaurant. The daily soup Manhattan cod chowder was delicious. Lobster portion was huge! And we both loved the... cheesecake. Read more
Just 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 myexpectations. Thanks to everyone at The Black Whale for making my daughter’s birthday a magical experience. I found out aboutthis place by reading their reviews and they not only lived up to the many reviews I read; they knocked it out the park! Fromthe moment I called to make an inquiry and spoke with the owners granddaughter Luna, I was sold! She was amazing from that firstphone call to the very end of the night after we left the celebration feeling full and well satisfied. We celebrated in theircourtyard out back under an eclectic covered patio, which was reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland! The evening was magical, thefood fabulous and the staff amazing! Hat’s off to The Black Whale, their owner, hostess, wait staff, cooks and everyone whohelped to make my daughter’s birthday a memorable one! Also a very special thank you to Luna, who is the Gem of The BlackWhale. Please go check it out! They won’t disappoint! Read more
