GREAT FOR GROUPS! Our book club had the best time at The Whaler for Happy Hour/Dinner tonight! We sat in a booth in the back which was perfect for our large group. Our server Halie was so friendly and gave great suggestions. We loved our experience and we will definitely be back. The manager Carlos also came to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our experience. Spicy tuna crispy rice is a must!!!

Came here for OC restaurant week and we got the New England clam chowder and it melts in your mouth- so delicious! I got the grilled chicken BLTA and he got the whaler burger. We both thought our sandwiches were delicious! The service was very friendly! A wee bit slow and not attentive because it was a slow lunch hour. Gorgeous indoor and outdoor seating too! Parking was valet only for $10. If you park in any of the neighboring lots, there are a lot of signs saying you will be towed. I risked it and parked next door and wasn’t towed.

My wife and I came here for happy hour and weren’t dissatisfied. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere were fantastic. We’ll definitely be coming again

It was midday not crowded. Chose to eat outside, which is gorgeous. A wee noisy ( right on pch)you pay no mind with great company. Food was delish,delightful, same goes for the cocktails. Can't say enough about the Staff. Everyone i encountered appreciated you, and accommodated our few needs. Very courteous and appeared as though they enjoy their ti.e there. 😁 I will be sure to revisit.

Nate Crawford

No present sign of life or growth but I made plates from the broken windows and weathered wood from the last families on the homesteads in remembrance. National trails catering will be available on the actual baseline.

Atmosphere was excellent. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Price was expensive! I'd go here again but I'll let someone else buy next time. Oh, and as of this post, their online menu is completely wrong so if your like me and like to plan in advance, don't.

Hosted an event here for ~150 attendees on a Monday night (11/3). Planning and communication was excellent with Rina Mitchell and they were generous and accommodating to our requests. We requested the venue stay decorated for Halloween, which they were able to do, and there was plenty of seating and space both indoors and outdoors for our guests. The heat lamps were also great on the patio! We ordered food through their restaurant service and everything was delicious. Pizza, fries, sliders, skewers, and vegan egg rolls were great. Service by the staff on the night of the event was excellent thanks to the bartenders, Kyle and Evan, and our servers, Rina and Danielle.

We had the most amazing experience here! The manager (I believe his name was Ryan) and the bartender were both so kind and accommodating. They made sure we got everything we needed and were always checking in, celebrated the birthdays at our table, and totally made our night. We will definitely be back!

We came here for a date night and were so impressed! Patti Anna was our server and she was so attentive the whole time! Even the bartender came over at some point and double checked that everything tasted good! They were so sweet here and the food was super yummy!! We will definitely be returning!

We had a great time during our recent visit. Pattianna and Michele were our servers and they took such good care of us. The food and drinks were on point and vibes were immaculate! Can’t wait to come back with the crew 🤗

Every time I go there it's always amazing. The food is delicious and is a step above your typical order. For example, I ordered the lobster mac and cheese, and instead of your typical Mac and cheese with a little bit of lobster on it, it was brought out with shell macaroni, top with grated cheese, bread crumbs, and chives with big chucks of lobster meat. The service has always been friendly when I go, and the atmosphere is fancy but comfortable at the same time. I love going to this place and will continue to return!

Patio has the ambience. Inside is dark and uninviting except for the large bar right inside the patio. Bartender not so excited to serve you if you’re not sitting at the bar. Server—Koko was all smiles and so lovely. Shrimp Taco was delish. Menus need updating—both online and in person. Items no longer served are still on both.

First time here, parking was easy! Valet or self park, easy getting in, short wait, but friendly security. Very clean, good mix in crowd, mostly young 20s but little bit of everything, good bar staff, lots of seating since and out, always someone cleaning tables picking up glasses, good music, great live DJs, clean restrooms. Didn’t care for a short brunette “promoter” as she called herself sat on a couch and was rude to multiple people, but otherwise would recommend this place and return. I showed up in jeans and some were very dressed up… good mix

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR BILL—see photos. Menu says $7 for adding shrimp but the bill said $9 🤑 I noticed it when I got the bill but paid anyway because I didn’t have the time to go back and forth on it. Service was nice and my port and starboard salad was quite good. As far as sports bars go, I’d probably rate it five stars for a sports bar/restaurant. Lots of TVs and indoor and outdoor seating.

Excellent service, went for happy hour. My margarita was 90% ice so I asked for no ice and the glass is half full. $35 per person for happy hour. Welcome to Newport beach.

Been here too many times to count, spent literally tens of thousands of dollars here. Management is extremely rude and the bouncers are extremely unprofessional with massive egos. Great place to spend tens of thousands of dollars and get treated like a second class citizen. Want proof? I have countless pictures from tables with bottle service I’ve paid for. Will be going anywhere else next time.
