The White Whale Restaurant

Had been here once prior and the food and experience were great, so much so I was confident bringing a foodie friend, who I hope never takes food recommendations from me again. The food on this menu cycle was uninspired, the bone marrow looked a lot like dog food (seriously. If you feed your dog raw, think lamb neck and you’d be thinking of what was presented on the plate), and and service was horrific. Maybe 4 tables to wait on a Sunday at dinner time and the waitstaff could be seen milking around talking to each other while our menus had been closed and stacked for a good ten minutes, the international sign for ‘I know what I want now’. 2 stars because, as mentioned, my previous experience was pretty good. I’d like to say I’d be back to give it one more try, but I honestly probably won’t.

Good food large selection of island beers. Just here again to have lunch with an old friend I had not seen in a very long time. The staff were wonderful and did not rush us out the door after eating. It made for a wonderful reunion!

Its worth the visit. Lots of different crafts on tap, they don't brew their own. All window wrap around, looking on the river. Dock platform on river if you want to kayak/boat up. Kids are allowed up to a certain time. Food is enjoyable, I haven't had a bad meal. Above normal for pub food. Nice outside deck for summer, not in use over colder months. Even Mother nature poops in for a beer.

New seasonal menu every 3 months. 17 different rotating taps. Locally sourced, globally-influenced menu. The building used to be a large family home so is cozy and intimate but can still fit as many as you like. Definitely a "foodie" place but they have a wide variety of things on menu. I have been here dozens of times and never had a meal that has been less than outstanding.
