Reviews for Whales Tale in Northport, NY
Service is always mediocre at best. Tacos are tasty when they get the order correct but the servers need to pay closer attend to... allergy requests. Tonight I told my server I can?t do dairy and ordered my tacos without cheese on them and they were deliveredwith a white creamy sauce on top. Normally I would ask for new, but it was so busy in there and it already took us a very longtime to place our taco order after our appetizer arrived. I pushed the top layer to the side and enjoyed the rest of the taco.Atmosphere is what you go to enjoy. Read more
The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly and attentive. The view is not so bad either! Highly recommend!
Very disappointed with Whales Tale. Over the last year or two it has completely changed (I think ownership). They ask you to... take a picture of a QR code to pull up the menu as they aren't giving out regular or paper menus anymore. Due to covid, weunderstood this no problem. We take a few minutes, decide what we all want to eat, and order. Our waitress told us that menu isnot correct and asked us to take a picture of a menu she pulled up on her phone. We could hardly read it and we had to share thephone amongst the 6 of us. They are not doing any party plates and the tacos are no longer $5 a piece. Some of them up to $6.50for one taco with maybe 2 small pieces of meat. It's not worth it at all!! My mom ordered a burger well done and it was medium.The fish taco was very chewy and we sent it back. It was really embarrassing to hype up this place for my boyfriend who livesout of state as we left disappointed as the food just wasn't good. It cost over $100 for 6 people to eat lunch without alcoholbeing purchased there (during the wait for the table, we bought beer from Harbor Head across the street). Will not be returningand will not be recommending. Read more
Appetizers were better than my dinner. I ordered a chicken taco and a surf & turf taco. Both tacos had way too much dry fried... crispy onions in the taco than meat. There was barely any meat in them. I?ve had better tacos before. One can hope they startimproving on the food quality, the portions, and the ratio of the ingredients. Unfortunately by the looks of these reviews andthe dates they were posted, it?s safe to say not much will change. Read more
Not what it once was. Menu not as fun, but tacos still there. My favorite Korean Taco has become inedible. Steak was cold,... tough, and had no "Korean" sauce, ie some combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, and/or rice wine vinegar. Service is still greatdespite idiot management having staff in all black in the sun in July. After years of being a favorite spot of mine, I'll passfrom now on until I hear about improvement.

So....the good part is that the food was really good. Nice selection of different tacos and all were tasty. It's also a... beautiful location, overlooking the marina and the inside of the restaurant is nicely done. The not so good part...I wish I knewif the wings were good or not but after ordering them 3 times and waiting and waiting, we finally gave up. They were the veryfirst thing we ordered. After waiting awhile for food, the tacos and drinks came out so I reminded waitress of wings. After thetacos were almost done and we ordered our second round of drinks, we asked again. No wings ever showed up nor any reason given.If they ran out, fine, just let me know and we'll probably order something else. But we just got apologies for the wait and wereassured they were coming but they never did. Then there was the second round of drinks....For some reason, for the second roundof beers, my wife's came in a cup about 2/3 the size of her first cup. I kind of jokingly asked the waitress what was up withthat and she just kind of made a face, said she didn't know, and that was that. From the no wings after asking three times tothe baby beer, it'll probably be awhile before we go back. Read more
A cool place offering a variety of bar foods (tacos) and spirits. A nice bar area to watch games on the water. Lot's of boat... slips available. Read more
