Great bartenders and wait staff. The waterfront is the perfect backdrop for a date nite or a girls night out! The Korean lettuce wraps are my fav, as well as the truffle fries. I'm not a seafood person, but they have an array of seafood to choose from.

Ambiance is great, service is interesting, but food was disappointing. For Mother’s Day weekend we decided to try this place after seeing it across the street from when we tried The Lakehouse. Should have just gone to the Lakehouse again because it was A LOT better. Also, parking was difficult as Whalers only has about 15 spaces for the restaurant, and all were taken by the time we got there ~6pm. We had to pay the $1 per hour parking fee in the lot. We started with the usual appetizer - fried calamari. Most notable is that I think they were from frozen because they all were the same size rings. It was served with like a mayo Thai sweet chili sauce which was interesting. We also got the crab cake which felt like had more filler than crab. For mains, I decided to get the chicken to compare apples to apples with what I got at The Lakehouse. I was overwhelmingly disappointed with the quality of the chicken. The white meat was over cooked and tough (it also came with bones in). The mashed potato was a bit on the chunky side rather than creamy side. We also got the ribeye which needed a sharper knife to cut because it was so tough, and the coconut crusted cod which should not have been an option on the menu because it was that bad. The “crust” was not even crunchy but very soggy. The salad on top of white rice was really odd for an “Asian” inspired dish because rice under raw veg would never be served in an actual Asian restaurant. The rice was too hard as well. The food did not come very hot, more like lukewarm. A critique that my dad pointed out after was that the servers served the men at the table their food first rather than the women… which was not what usually happens at restaurants. The server also asked if we wanted the soup after the mains???? Overall, just go to The Lakehouse across the parking lot.

A true hidden gem. My partner heard about this restaurant from a coworker, so we decided to go there for dinner one evening. The interior is beautiful, mostly white, with touches of nautical/seaside decor. Very modern and tasteful. The lower dining area was empty and we were brought upstairs where there was a decent crowd, but a fair amount of space between tables. Lots of masks being worn under the nose by staff, but you see plenty of that on Long Island. Our server was attentive and she made sure to check on us throughout the meal. My partner didn’t like her drink choice and our server recommended something else that was much better. The food and drinks were great. I would definitely return.
