Wonderful experience. We got there as soon as it opened, a group of 4 people and we had a great service from the people that worked at the restaurant. The food took a little while to get to us, but we ordered the main courses that require more work and details, so since everything that we choose was made at the home made at restaurant, it was super worthy. The food itself was excellent, we ordered the salmon, the meatloaf, the special of the weekend and the chicken (highly recommended!!!), everything’s cooked perfectly. The restaurant have a beautiful decoration, the space is cozy and beautiful, so you can definitely enjoy a meal with your family, friends or a date. Great experience!

What a cool spot!!! So happy to have found this awesome restaurant with such excellent service. The staff was wonderful and very inviting, and the ambiance inside (and in their adorable back garden) = unmatched. Food was also excellent, and they let us sit in front with our dog (and brought him ice water!!) That’s how you stay thriving after 60+ years I guess. We’ll be back very soon!

Cute ambiance restaurant. The daily soup Manhattan cod chowder was delicious. Lobster portion was huge! And we both loved the cheesecake.

I've been going to the Black Whale since the 1970s, and it's always a joyous experience, from the charming antique-shop decor to the yummy food to the transcendent desserts. One of the best and most enduring spots in City Island, for good reason.

Always a good place to be when you're there. The atmosphere is so relaxing. I enjoy every time I come through.

Cozy atmosphere, meaning very small place. Think a living converted. In warmer weather there's an out door space at the back. Still warm cozy atmosphere. If you looking for an intimate setting this is it. Its a resturant so the food. For the price point.. on the fence. Guess city Island everything more expensive. Back to the food. The Salmon was good, the shrimp and pasta.. for the price.. on the fence.

First time at this restaurant, service was amazing. The waitress was knowledge and very courteous! Her suggestions were spot on! Very cozy ambiance. My favorite dish was the shrimp pesto. Drinks were delish!Desserts spot on and cappuccino was perfect. Although this is not a steakhouse the NY strip was perfect, melted in your mouth! Will definitely frequent this restaurant.

Updated review!!!!! The food was really good BUT they sneaked in a surcharge if you used a card that was put on a small piece of paper in the check envelope thing They should have told us before we got the check if this is a new policy so I guess pay with cash when you go I love this restaurant but this wasn’t like this the last time I went which was like three weeks ago. Also when asked the waitress said to ask the owner about it who wasn’t there…
