I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Whaler in Venice, and I must say, my experience was elevated thanks to the outstanding service provided by Ashley. From the moment we were seated, Ashley's warm and attentive demeanor set the tone for a fantastic meal. Not only did Ashley handle a mix-up with our food order with grace and efficiency, but she went above and beyond to ensure that everything was corrected promptly. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our dining experience truly stood out. Throughout the meal, Ashley was consistently attentive, checking in on us without being intrusive and making sure that we had everything we needed. Her friendly and personable nature made us feel welcome and valued as guests.

Absolutely delicious! We ordered a sushi bowl and a burger and loved both. The spicy tuna was a great choice for the bowl. The fry basket was ginormous too and we couldn't finish everything. Honestly for the quality, taste, and quantity, worth the higher price. Our waitress was great but the other staff was a little frustrating.

I ordered take out from the happy hour menu. This is a great thing because a lot of times you cannot do that. I ordered the spicy tuna crispy rice. (3 pieces for 13$) kinda pricy to me but...The person who took my order was nice also helpful. Took about 10 to 15 minutes for the order to come out. Cool!!! BUT when the order came out I asked another person for ginger for the sushi. I was told it's in the sauce. I didn't quite understand what she meant so I opened the box IN FRONT OF THE PERSON. Almost all the sushi was flipped over. I look at her and before I could say anything she says I'm sure they didn't put it in like that they just fell. didn't offer to remake it. Didn't offer any help. The bag went from her hand to mine then I opened the box. This was very disappointing. What I could put back together was good but I don't appreciate them not offering any resolution. Not professional at all imo.

Great service and good food.Dietary restrictions: They were able to make my pizza dairy free to accommodate my food allergyParking: If you drive past the restaurant you can park at the beach paid parking lot. Otherwise street parking was really hard to find on a weekday during happy hour.

My boyfriend's flight got delayed so we decided to grab lunch by the beach to kill some time. We had originally chose this place because we really really craving some oysters but they didn't have it the day we went but everywhere else didn't either which was weird. But we still settled with what they had to offer. I got one of the burgers and I personally really loved it, I forgot which one it was but it had cheese, a thick juicy flavorful patty topped with their aioli and some jalapeños! It was surely a hefty burger but I beasted that thing soooo juicy! Their fries were nice n crispy as well! My boyfriend got their taco tuesday's deal and got their chicken tinga, birria and carne asada option. It was only $4 each which isn't bad considering it's a spot where all tourists are flooded with. But the taco itself was kinda mediocre... When the server had set the dish on our table we already knew it was probably not gonna be the best. the chicken was pretty flavorless and bland, the carne asada was pretty sad but the birra was probably the best one out of the three. Our server was sweet and bubbly but the host seemed bothered when she came to check on us. She asked if we needed anything so we asked for some sauces and she gave us a look like we should've said no we didn't need anything. Besides the point, it's a nice spot to try and dine out on a nice sunny day super lively!
