    We were seated for 40 minutes before anyone even took our drink order. Waited another 20 minutes and never saw our drinks. Only saw our waitress once over the span of a full hour. Not her fault, she was the only waitress responsible for the entire dining area. Maybe hire more staff? We left very disappointed.

    This is about my 5th visit and it always exceeds my expectations! Server was attentive, food was great and the festive holiday atmosphere was amazing. Next time I visit may come for brunch but I will be back!

    The service was terrible. No one came to the table and my husband had to go to the bar to get a waiter. After the waiter came over we never saw him again. My husband then had to get another waiter. Took a long time to get food and then we were not asked if we wanted dessert or coffee before receiving the bill. Since we had recommended Sign of the Whale to our friends the experience was quite embarrassing!

    Literally get yourself down there and have a drink and a meal. There was a DJ and it was so much fun. We had a blast right near the harbor and there’s a lot of places to take pictures outside!

    Our waitress forgot to place our food order. We finally caught her attention after 50 minutes since placing the order and that’s when she realized she never put it into the computer. The food finally arrived 1 hour and 25 minutes after the initial order was placed. It was frustrating since there was only 5-6 tables in the restaurant. It was festive and well decorated for the holidays. The buffalo chicken dip was tasty as well.
