We just had our daughter’s post wedding brunch on the lovely private lower outside deck. Worked with Naomi to come up with the perfect buffet menu which they set up beautifully. They put flowers out on the tables and cleared plates regularly. Friendly lovely people as well.

Service was a little slow, food ok. Eggs in eggs Benedict were very runny. Menu has lots of choices. I'll try it one more time, but I wouldn't highly recommend it.

Had a great breakfast here! The service was fast, the food was delicious, and the prices were really reasonable. It seems like they’ve worked out any of the early kinks from when they first opened — everything ran smoothly and felt well-organized. I’d definitely recommend giving this place another try if you haven’t been in a while. A friendly local spot that deserves more love!

Great food and excellent service! We chose to dine on the patio and enjoyed the atmosphere there. The portions are big (two of us ended up taking some of the food home). Both ladies who were helping us were friendly and cheerful. We were told you can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime during their open hours. It was our first time dining there, and when the lovely waitress found out it was my son’s birthday, she brought a piece of delicious apple pie with a candle and sang for him at the end of our meal. It was very sweet of them! (No pun intended). We had 4-mile burgers and Reuben sandwiches. Salads that came with them were very fresh (the kids got fries with their entrees and said they liked them). The calamari appetizer was great too. Would definitely return when in the area.

We went to Whale City for a pre-wedding welcome event and loved it. The catering was excellent and the bar staff were efficient and friendly. Came back the next morning for breakfast—lobster Benedict and chilaquiles were both delicious, with generous portions for the price. Multiple outdoor patios and even some friendly little cats add to the charm. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

1st time here. Great service and food. Burger 🍔 was flavorful and moist. Cooked perfect. Also tried the fish and chips 🍟 since I heard they were good. Definitely worth it. Batter was perfect and fish was delicious.

Terrible experience from start to finish. I ordered over easy eggs, sausage links and blueberry pancakes, but was served scrambled eggs, chorizo, and raw pancakes (photo attached). We also ordered mimosas that never arrived, yet they were still included on the bill. The food was overpriced for the quality, and our server never once checked on us. We ended up eating what we were given just to be done with it. Definitely won’t be returning. Oh whale!

We had best chilaquiles in Santa Cruz. Highly recommended. Green sauce is to die for!

No photos because too busy eating. Nice indoor and outdoor eating area.
