   Whalers is one of our favorite restaurants for good reason. Our server was cordial and knowledgeable, the staff was attentive and polite and the food was delicious.

   10/10 experience. It was very busy but the service was excellent. Felt bad I had to keep asking our server to repeat himself because it was so loud in there! But I will absolutely be back!

   Management seemed more interested in rearranging the tables while drinks sat at the bar. Received food before drinks. Fra Diavlo was a bad marinara sauce with no spice. Terrible service. Tacky Christmas lights all over.

   Brunch is just as great as dinner at Whaler's! Season is just starting up, looking forward to summer dining on the water!

    We made reservations for Valentine's Day for 5:15, as we were going to a concert later that day. The restaurant was quiet, and we were directed to the upstairs dining area, which overlooks the Bay Shore marina. We were taken to a table in a corner without a window, when there was an open table with a view available, so I asked for us to be seated at the window table. The restaurant is noted for its seafood menu, typical as it is located on the South Shore of Long Island. I ordered the steamed mussels as an appetizer, and the Seafood Risotto as my entree. My companion ordered the Baked Clams and the Cold Lobster Roll. My mussels were warm, not hot, and overly salty. The menu stated they were to be accompanied with garlic toast but the toast was plain. My companion said the baked clams were good. The seafood risotto was a strange dish, where whole clams, mussels and shrimp were cooked in the risotto, leaving you to dig rice out of the shells. The dish was hot. The lobster roll had good pieces of lobster, but not very much dressing, with little mayo, making for a dry sandwich. For dessert I had the Panna Cotta with fruit, which had a little more gelatine than I think was required, putting it more on the Jello side of the dish. Service was medium, having to remind our server of a coffee order, then bringing coffee which obviously had been sitting in a pot for some time, having long lost its' freshness. Maybe the restaurant works better in the summer season, as it has great views of the marina and the bay. Note* the restaurant does not serve Miller Lite beer.
