The Black Whale

Sitting out back at the Black Whale having dinner on a warm summer evening with friends after a long day on the water is always the perfect day for me. The Black Whale is a true City Island gem where you can relax and enjoy your meal and conversation in a homey atmosphere without feeling crowded or rushed. The food is always on point.

Such an Amazing Gem on City Island! The food is amazing, I highly recommend going in the evening and sitting outside, the ambiance is amazing. The Staff is amazing, and the food is amazing! This is a place where you will not regret waiting for a table.... The food is tasteful, made to perfection, trust me, not everyone knows how to make pasta! And I'm VERY picky when it comes to eating out as I am a chef! So I highly recommend this place!

The most unique place with the best food and service! We love coming here through the year. It feels like a secret hideaway! They have a nice variety on the menu and usually have delicious specials as well. The "Starving Artisit" is one of our favorite dishes and the muscles and clams appetizer, the seafood salad appetizer is also yummy and so fresh! We also love getting one of their big entree salads (cobb is my fav with steak on it). Highly recommend!

fantastic experience Four of us arrived there as soon as it opened, and the staff members at the restaurant provided us with excellent service. We chose the main courses, which require more preparation and attention, so even though it took a little while for the food to reach us, it was well worth the wait because everything was produced in-house at the restaurant. We got the salmon, meatloaf, weekend special, and chicken, all of which were cooked to perfection. The food itself was fantastic. You can certainly enjoy a dinner with your family, friends, or a date at the restaurant because it is beautifully decorated and the environment is comfortable and attractive. Wonderful experience!

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!
