WE had a lovely meal at Whispers. It has been several years since we have been there and it was better than we remembered. The food and service were excellent. We will be returning!

Love Whispers! Have been at Whispers many times, for holidays or enjoying with friends or just with my husband. Have never had a bad meal here. The menu has something for everyone and there is no wrong choice. My husband and I were there for Easter and had filet mignon, which was excellent and served as ordered! The wait service is impeccable and with the kitchen, know how to serve dinner with time in between each course. This is one of our favorite restaurants but it is Expensive!... but you should at least try Whispers... and then you will be hooked on returning.

Lovely dinner! everything we ordered at our table was delicious and beautifully presented in a timely manner. Great friendly service. We need to dine at Whispers more often!

What a unique quiet and very romantic evening we hsd with unbelievable service. They made us feel like family and Celebrities at the same time. Whispers, will definitely be a part of our dining at least once a month and on very Special Occasions.

The service is always great and the food is made well, however, the cost is extremely high. Whispers is very expensive, so just be prepared for that.

Such a ridiculous,overrated restaurant, Maybe because its in Spring Lake ? Over priced poor portions, Looks good in pictures. We left there disappointed. Get what you get and don't get upset. The marinara sauce for the calamari was very good.

ZERO CUSTOMER service, very unprofessional. The fire alarm went off 5 times during dinner, piercing and for prolonged periods in the beginning. followed by some guy who came in the room each time to advise some glitch no fire. This went on for most of our dinner time. This is a high end ($$$) restaurant and the 6 of us were trying to celebrate a 60th birthday but constantly interrupted by fire alarms, updates by this employee then fire department came, flashing lights coming in through windows, testing alarm. I realize this was a one off night but it absolutely ruined the evening, NO ONE apologized (until my aunt said something to the young guy at he reservation desk who said he would escalate it to management. NO ONE called me. I emailed the restaurant that night as this was an expensive (planned) and ruined (with noise and unprofessional bursts by employee and zero apology). This was over a month ago and NO ONE called or emailed in response. I sent is again and NO RESPONSE. The people at my table were from 4 different households. Never again. Im a local for 24 years, very very disappointed in how this was handled. I waited a month for a call and avoided social media, but due to your business' apathy, here we are.

Nostalgia collided with Orbital Prices. A special place we had not been able to enjoy since around 2012. Upon our return we were thrilled to see the room and its classy, understated style were exactly as remembered. And our server, Meredith, upheld a tradition of extra courtesy. All good...until we opened the menu and received a strong jolt of sticker shock. For a piece of halibut - $69: a chicken breast - $48. Granted the presentations and flavors were first class. But alas, nostalgia will likely not be reawakened again. The memories, though, last forever. Just a bit of advice: Double the amount you have budgeted for a dining experience here.

The food at Whispers is consistently excellent. Service was a bit slow. Perhaps they were understaffed for the evening given the season. That will not detract from dining here again and again

Food has declined a bit. The lobster and shrimp fra diavolo was bland. Prices skyrocketed. Bread rolls were very heavy. Server did not pour our wine or sparkling water. Not just at all.

We had a very uncomfortable dining experience. The restaurant was very warm, most of our party of 8 were sweating. Our waitress was good and very nice, but appeared to be the only server for all of the tables. As such, Service was slow. We waited a very long time for our entrées. Some of the food was good. However, my husband could not eat his lamb chops, he said they were too fatty. I did not enjoy the peach salad. The peaches were hard and the salad dressing did not taste good. On a positive note, my friend said her tomato salad was delicious and thought her lamb chops were very good. Overall, it was a not an enjoyable experience.

Elegant setting in a historic hotel with a menu that oozes creativity. However, at least last night execution was off as two of our three dinners came out cold and had to be sent back. This is inexcusable in a high end restaurant. Our waitress was quite embarrassed but obviously it was a failure of the back of the house.

We were both somewhat disappointed in our meal celebrating our special anniversary. For those prices we expected better quality and presentation. The food was fine but the whole space looks tired. It's missing the special touchs one expects from a restaurant charging those exorbitant prices. At Charlie's at Bay Head, they gave us a hand written anniversary card and happy anniversary was written on the plate of our dessert. There was no acknowledgement of our special day. Not a big deal really but we appreciated the warm welcoming personnel at Charlie's which was lacking at Whispers. It was embarrassing for us to have to hear the manager berate a nearby waitress who, in our opinion did nothing wrong. And, even if she did why do it within hearing of the guests? ? Our waitress was great. Then as we were leaving, the sprinkler system came on and we had to go through the hotel to get out if we wanted to avoid getting wet.
