Whales Tale - Restaurant in Northport - 81 Fort Salonga Rd Unit A, USA

Elise and Karen were fantastic! We had our rehearsal dinner there and the apps and drinks were amazing. Dinner was superb. Totally recommend having any event here. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My husband and I wanted to go for an MC ride somewhere new and decided to venture to the North Shore. What a treat...we landed at Whales Tale. From the moment we arrived at the restaurant, I knew that I'd like it. The hostess was very kind and sweet. Had us seated quickly and retrieved us from the bar. We then were set at a beautiful high top with an amazing view of the sunset on the water. At the bar, we ordered a Pomegranate Margarita and a Rocket Fuel to get us started. They were delicious. We brought our drinks to the table, where Alana introduced herself as our waitress. She is an asset to Whales Tale and I commend her for her level of care and service. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, and above all, she went above and beyond to meet our needs. If you aren't aware riding on a Motorcycle, makes doggy bags complicated. Needed to have the plates wrapped in saran wrap so they don't break open and spill all over the saddle bags, and she made sure it got done. Her recommendations on the food were spot on. Oysters are beyond fresh and clean. Guac was good, it just needed a hint of lime to make it great (fortunately Alana made sure we got our lime, had to cut it herself), and the Bang Bang shrimp were yummy. Then the main course had a tostada salad with seared Tuna and I couldn't be happier. My boyfriend ordered the picnic pork, and pork belly taco. Let me just say I was stealing a bite whenever I could; And finally the bill. Very affordable and you definitely get your money's worth. So if you're looking for a spot with good drinks, amazing food, and a view. Head to Whales Tale, you will not be disappointed. Already planning a group for with friends to this amazing restaurant.

The food was decent, but I’m leaving a more negative review due to our server’s behavior towards the middle of our meal. My bf and I came here, and we were still eating when our server, Olivia brought us the check, which was very rude. We definitely didn’t appreciate that kind of service, nor have we ever experienced something like that before. We were truly astounded. The service was slow but she was kind. However the ending left a really bad taste in our mouth. We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 tacos, a burger, 2 sprites and a margarita. I enjoyed the burger, the baja pork, bang bang shrimp, the pomegranate margarita was sweet and strong. My bf enjoyed the fries but I didn’t, I felt like they were too crispy/ over cooked.

This restaurant is pet friendly, we were allowed to dine with our dog. Both food and services was good. My favorite was the wings and steak and surf taco.

Pros: Good casual food and drinks, and really nice waitress. Amazing crispy fries and refreshing margs. Business seemed to be doing well as it was packed in there! Tacos seemed to be a popular order here. Cons: Was super hot inside where we sat. No AC or fan (at least nearby) with the sun blazing through the window. The high top table setup is unfortunately not practical for sitting or comfortable as there’s a shelf in the place you normally put your legs (see in image). Perhaps the shelf can be removed from the high tops? Nonetheless, our level of comfort overshadowed the meal for us. If we were to go again, we would probably eat out on the patio.

PRIVATE PARTIE review! Our company hosted our annual holiday party at Whales Tale this year. From the start we were connected with Elise who runs catering and she was amazing, quick to answer and had things set up for us right away! She was amazing to work with from beginning to end. The party room is beautiful right on the water, the food was great and staff was amazing as well. We had Elise and Joe and they both were so accommodating, helpful and happy throughout the whole night. We had a blast and recommend to anyone thinking about this venue to host an event of party, definitely give it a go it will not disappoint! Will use them in the future for sure.

Had a great time, most of the food was really good. Will go back again. Waitress was excellent.

Food was great someone of the Hidden Gem on the Gold Coast of Long Island. I would say the service was average at best it was very slow I can only imagine what it's like in the summertime when the marina is open. I 100% will be going back. This might be the best place for tacos on long Island.
