Blue Whale Restaurant & Lounge

Always a great experience here. Delicious and nice atmosphere. One of our favorite go tos!

What a lovely restaurant and setting! The decor is beautiful, the back patio is amazing, the food and service were excellent. Highly recommend!

We just discovered Blue Whale and we'll definitely go back. The food (Chilean sea bass, chopped cabbage salad) and service were superb. Nice space, with comfortable booths and a pretty back patio. It was a relief to be in a place where we could hear one another talk. Great neighborhood place and worth a trip if you don't live nearby. A gem!

Amazing restaurant - the team loved it (they said it was one of the best meals they've had on location at an event), and they accommodated our large party like champs!

The food was delicious! However, service was lacking. We felt rushed to order and then were ignored for over 45 minutes at the end when we wanted to pay. Very odd.

The service was not very good! The waiter was forgiving orders, drinks were served at the counter for long time...

Had to go back because we were CRAVING it and it was every bit as good, maybe even better than the first time. Had the mushroom spring rolls this time (amazing), and stir fried beef (delicious) as well as the golden shrimp again which are addictive. Great service, beautiful restaurant.

There is always a very polite server and a don't know what he is doing type of server. The polite server saves the restaurant, and the other one tries to send you out when you are still waiting for your order. What can I say. And sorry, definitely not worth the price for the portion and the taste. The ideas of some dishes are good, it just needs one last push to make them great.

Expected to have a nice dinner, unfortunately there was a large party nearby blowing up balloons using a compressor. It was quite distracting. And it being a chilly evening, the heat lamps weren't placed well. The food and cocktails continues to delight!

Great food, exceptional service and wonderful ambiance in their outdoor area to say the least! The Oven-Baked Chilean Seabass was to die for, a must try! Please visit, you will not be disappointed.

I'm really sad to say that I'm not sure what's going on with this restaurant - I'm afraid it might be a doom spiral of getting less business, being able to hire less staff, and thus having worse service... PROS: The food was absolutely delicious - we ordered a lot of duck and pork dishes. The servers were very friendly. The restaurant is beautiful! CONS: We just were not getting served at all and the restaurant was completely empty at 7pm on a Tuesday Night. We ordered drinks before our appetizers, the appetizers came out after about 40 minutes despite the restaurant being empty, and still no drinks. We had to ask twice :( The drinks actually came out around the same time our main course came out, and we would go through 30-40 minute periods where no one came to check on us to take our order for dinner etc. On top of that, we had a party of 5, we were automatically charged a 22% gratuity...after not really getting good service for several hours. To be clear - I think tipping is very important, but a party of 5 is not a large party to me, and after not very good service, I don't think an automatic gratuity of 22% is fair to the customer.

The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. Everyone was very helpful, offered great recommendations and were professional while still being friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was very fun and I appreciated the vibey music. Would recommend.

Another great experience. The food was wonderful and the lovely owner came out to say Hi. Definitely recommend and we'll be back soon.

The service was not good. There was only one server (so we were often left waiting - not necessarily her fault), but she was also not polite. The food and ambience is good though.

A truly outstanding meal. Everything was delicious, the service was attentive, and the heated patio was an oasis (but not covered, so keep that in mind if rain is forecast!) The pumpkin puffs were amazing and the coconut panna cotta was one of the cutest desserts I've ever seen. Convenient parking in the next-door garage on Union Street. Lots of spaces available even on Saturday at 6pm.
