    My wife and I always enjoy dining at The Iron Whale, probably about 4 times a year. Service is always excellent. Last night, our server was Ashley...very friendly and efficient. We were really impressed. Also, every time we check in - we always have a reservation- the staff is great, they show us to the table. We always really enjoy the food. Truly a fun experience, every time. Thanks! Lenny

    Good time. Nice touch them giving a rose to all the ladies in VDAY. Food was solid, service was great, energy was great. But really need to go more in the summertime months and sit outside.

    Excellent service, food was outstanding, beautiful decor. My wife has a food allergy and the attentiveness of the server and the managers was the best we’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend.

    Iron Whale is always a hit! From its menu (both food and cocktails), to its service, to its ambience, and all in between, I would highly recommend this restaurant! A view of the ocean is always a nice background, as well. :)
