Best attention and service, amazing food, and everything was so thoughtfully done. My favorites were the crème brûlée and the chocolate espresso martini, both were incredible. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!
You have to know the Black whale to like the atmosphere which is eclectic in my opinion. I love back yard setting . Great staff 👍. In the restaurant business not all dishes are home runs but they do everything they to make sure your experience is pleasurable.
Wonderful eclectic atmosphere with open space in the back. Great service and delicious food. A City Island treasure! Looking forward to sharing the experience with friends and family.
