    Ambiance (5/5): It's hard to beat the sunset views of the water. It can get extremely busy on even…read moreweekends so be prepared to call early or wait for 30min to 1hr. Service (4/5): Young staff members are hustling to give you the best service they can but it is extremely busy at times. They are always courteous! Dog friendly. Street Fries - usually their fries are great and cooked with a superior crunch and coated with a nice flavored. Other times, they can be a little soggy. Bang Bang Shrimp - skippable. I like the flavor but it is usually more batter than it is shrimp. Chicken BBQ Quesadilla - big fan. There's a good portion of chicken. I might ask for the BBQ sauce on the side next time instead of drizzled on top (which is how it comes). Oysters - Questionable tasting freshness Tuna nachos - meh Tacos from best to worst - the tacos are sizable! Shells hold well too Kung pao cauliflower - surprisingly the best. thai chili sauce sticks well on the battered tempura Salmon poke - salsa and soy dressing worked well Spare rib //Korean steak - both remembered being good Hot chicken - pretty good Pork and plantain - pork belly was not too seasoned and way too much slaw portion (5:1 ratio) Surf & turf - steak was super chewy Tuna - quality of the tuna was chunky and was bleh Crispy fish taco - on both counts was the worst taco by far

    You have to know you're going into Whale's Tale and getting casual bar food, served on paper and…read moreplastic cups. It's part of the charm. The food was honestly super yummy. We shared the street corn fries and wings as appetizers, and we each got 2 tacos. No drinks- the bill was $60 before tip. Wing flavor was good and they were decently sized. Fries were okay, and were just seasoned fries with some Cotija cheese sprinkled on top. The tacos were honestly delish. I had 2 pork tacos and my husband had the surf and turf and hot honey chicken. We loved all 4. Was the food good? Yes. Yummy and hot and fresh. Was it insane for taco lunch with no drinks to be $60? Also yes. Would I go back? Sure, if someone else is paying lol.

    Stopped here today for a late lunch with my boyfriend. Although I'd read more than a few so-so…read morereviews, this was the most packed out restaurant on Main Street so I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Let me start by saying it wasn't a bad experience but it certainly didn't exceed my expectations. The food was good, but a bit bland in my opinion. My boyfriend ordered the L.A. chicken sandwich with fries which was pretty average. Tasted like a less rich version of a chicken parm to be honest. I ordered myself a cocktail (the Hugo Spritz) and one of their specials - the wild Montauk cod. The drink was just okay - menu said it was Prosecco with a splash of elderberry liquor and mint. Really tasted like a tall glass of Prosecco mixed with seltzer. The cod was a nice cut of fish but very bland. It was served baked and topped with crabmeat and a lemon butter sauce with sides of mashed potatoes and veggies. Even after adding salt and pepper I found myself wishing I'd ordered an extra side of sauce as it was the most flavorful thing on the plate. In addition to the bland food and drink, the wait time was unexpectedly long. I will say they were pretty busy when we arrived but we didn't have to wait for a table. They had a beautiful courtyard for outdoor dining. I popped inside to use the restroom and the bar was pretty packed with patrons watching the soccer game. Still, it did not explain the longer than usual wait times. I may give this spot one more try since I live in the area and saw some other yummy looking menu items but I really hope it's improvement to this visit.
