I came here for a early birthday lunch and this place has been on my list of restaurants for quite some time and was happy I finally got a chance to check them out. This place is located in Bayshore off the water and is a beautiful place to come in the summer and enjoy outdoor eating. I came in the cold winter, but It was located in Bayshore right off the water and the food was amazing. Also a great to cater venues on top of the restaurant. The Thai calamari was one of the best calamari's I had in a long time. When I say it was cooked to perfection the calamari was like butter. Cooked to perfection and very flavorful. My wife ordered the fillet mignon sandwich with fries and I ordered the chicken katsu sandwich. Both very good and flavorful. We also did bottomless mimosas. Overall the staff here were amazing, and the food was 10/10. I can't wait for warmer weather to enjoy the outside seating but definitely a great place to come for special occasions or date night. I highly recommend if you're looking for a different place to eat with good vibes.

It's the food for me. The food is good and that's all I need. The ambiance is causal seafood, very New England wharf feeling. Our server was polite and gave some good suggestions on things to try. But the food is the highlight here and it made me happy. I had the Whaler's Chopped Salad and it was everything. It's a must try. Portion was huge (ate remainder for dinner). The mix of avocado, lobster, Parmesan cheese, bacon bits, boiled eggs, kale-yum yum yum. I can't wait to try it again. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

Amazing !!! Decided to celebrate my birthday at Whalers. I've been there a couple of times now. I drove all the way from Brooklyn,NY just to celebrate there. I've even brought family from out of town there before. Amazing food and drinks, reasonably priced, and super friendly staff. Plus beautiful scenery This time was more special since it was my birthday. They even gave me a gift card for celebrating it there! Love love love I would recommend every time !!!

Came here yesterday for lunch around 11am. The food was really good. I got a rose martini and was delicious. We split wings - garlic soy & buffalo. They were good. We also ordered shrimp dumplings for the table, I didn't like but my husband did. For lunch I got a tuna poke bowl. Huge portion for 25$ and I couldn't finish It. Service was a little meh. They forgot to give my friend a spoon and had to ask 2-3 times for one for his soup . I would come back if I'm in area

Solid choice! We have been wanting to check this place out for a while and glad we did! The food was pretty good with a stunning view and atmosphere. I would say the menu could offer a bit more but being that we came towards the end of the summer season, it may have contributed to the menu. The service was great, very friend and attentive staff!

In the mood for seafood, a friend and I decided to check out Whalers in Bay Shore. It was a gorgeous Thursday night, perfect weather for sitting out on their dock. We started off with cocktails. I tried the coconut margarita which was phenomenal, and I'll be day dreaming about it for days to come. For an appetizer we split the steamed pei mussels, the garlic crostini was yummy! For an entree I went with the seafood fra diavolo, which was cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of sauce and spice. The waitstaff were great. We went on a Thursday night, so there wasn't a big crowd but overall the food and service was stellar and I have no complaints. I can't wait to go back!

This is my second time at Whalers and I loved it. As an out of towner I am instantly in a better mood by enjoying a meal by the water. They have a decent size patio so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the weather. I ordered the lobster Cobb salad, with a lobster bisque. (I know double lobster.) I was sooo impressed with the amount, freshness, and flavor of the lobster in the salad. I would definitely say that's a salad to share if you're getting other things. The lobster bisque also had a lot more lobster than most restaurants. Had the rich depth of gambit that all good lobster bisques have. Overall great time at Whalers.

Went for brunch at 1:00 on a Sunday, it was pretty slow when I arrived but was packed by the time I was leaving (230-ish) I ordered the crab cake appetizer. It was good, not exceptional. I ordered the Summer Salad for my entree, this was very good! I opted to add spicy chicken (they couldn't do regular grilled which seems weird) but the chicken was terrible. It tasted like chinese food chicken - where you question if it's even actually chicken? Thankfully they didn't add it into the salad and it came on the side - so I barely touched it. Food is good otherwise, view is beautiful & restaurant is adorable.

If you are looking for a great lobster roll this great dock side restaurant will not disappoint you. We had the hot lobster roll with butter lightly drizzled on top. The lobster was delicious, great quality! Still thinking about it and the cocktails were spot on!

My bf and I snagged a last min. Reservation on a Friday night. We had been talking about this place for a while. Here's how it went.... We were warmly greeted by a hostess named Gianna! What a sweet girl. Our table wasn't ready but she gave us frequent updates as we enjoyed a cocktail by the bar with John. He crafted some delicious drinks and gave us some great recommendations. Spicy mango margarita A flavored martini (I think) We had the option of outside or upstairs dinning. We opted for upstairs bc the view and the decor is absolutely gorgeous. Our server Ryan was very pleasant. For apps we ordered the ceviche and the spicy salmon crispy rice. Both were dilcious I prefer a little kick so added some hot sauce to the ceviche and a little extra spicy Mayo to the salmon. Lately, we've been sharing a dish when we go out bc I can never finish what I order and rarely eat it after. We had the coconut cod and it did not disappoint! So flavorful! The vegetable base had apples in it and omg TOP Tier! We didn't have desert. Will be back for more cod .
