My husband and I went here this past Friday at 5:00 and I was taken back how beautiful the place was done over. Not too noisy and seating was a very nice booth.
We ordered the French Onion soup and it was delicious.
I ordered the fish and chips and I was very disappointed. It came to the table in a basket and it looked like it was crispy but the coating on the fish was soggy and no taste. The fries were good.
My husband had the linguine with clam sauce and a few of the clams weren’t opened.

The White Whale has a cozy and very comfortable atmosphere.
Service was excellent- Jenny is a fantastic waitress
Michael The maître D- super personality and very welcoming.
Food has been excellent. Every time we have been there and a special note that their lobster bisque is the best we have ever had anywhere on Long Island.! Hats off to the chef and you must definitely try it out because it is our go to spot! You will not be disappointed.

Came in late for drinks and apps. Had a glass of wine with mozzarella sticks and it was JUST what I needed. Everyone was so friendly and made sure we were taken care of. Definitely will be back!

Edit: returned for the lunch special and was so pleased! It’s the perfect amount of food for lunch. I love that I got to try a couple menu items for a reasonable price and the food was delicious. The chicken sandwich “ate” or whatever the kids are saying lately. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful, definitely don’t skip this place!

We hosted a party of 30 with a pre-arranged menu, and the entire experience was outstanding. Everything was included—appetizers, drinks, entrée, dessert, and coffee—which made planning seamless and stress-free. The staff was attentive, professional, and well-organized, ensuring our large group was taken care of without any delays. The food was excellent from start to finish, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Best of all, they worked comfortably within our budget without sacrificing quality or service. We highly recommend for private events or large group celebrations. Thank you for making our event special

So glad the White Whale in Seaford has re-opened. We’ve already been back three times. The manager is always super friendly, and attentive, and makes you feel welcomed. Our waitress, Jen, has been on her game every single visit. My wife absolutely loves the French Onion soup, and the steak I had last night was cooked to perfection – honestly one of the best I’ve had in a long time. … Definitely recommend checking it out!

Just left the restaurant and felt compelled to write a review. The ambience was perfect tonight–super brisk outside but the seat next to the fireplace with a seasonal cocktail in hand warmed me up immediately! The service (waitresses, hostess and busboys) was impeccable. Food, the main draw, was delicious! We started with salads which were generous portions loaded with fresh ingredients. For the mains, we had a fra diavolo seafood pasta and fish tacos–both super fresh and well prepared with just the right amount of kick in the fra diavolo. Looking forward to going back again soon. Hope this place does well because summer visits to that spot will be incredible!

First time back since re opening. Can’t say enough good things. Staff was GREAT, we ordered 6-7 apps and everything was amazing. I’d rate the food higher than many of the higher end restaurants we frequent. Will 100% come back.

The White Whale Has Long been a staple to those of us who’ve lived in Seaford for 50+ years. Of course, it started off as another name but the White Whale Is well known on the Southshore. It’s recently had a transformation and new ownership bringing a new vibe, specialty drinks, and an array of seafood and comfy foods. The bar is large and well stocked with a great Mixology on the premise… We had Jenny as our waitress who was amazing. We had specialty cocktails prior to Ordering appetizers, soups, and finally dinner. There was no room for dessert, but they had plenty on the menu.! We were not rushed and the restaurant did fill up and had bar activity. We will definitely be back and are glad to see this place, reclaimed and providing beverages and meals to the local community.! #Seaford #WhiteWhale #Community #Memories #ShopLocal #SupportLocal #Seafood #SpecialtyDrinks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had the fish and chips and carrot cake for dessert. Came with my husband and infant daughter and they were so friendly. Jenny was our server. Prompt service. My husband had the double smash burger. The food was incredibly good. Will definitely be frequenting this place! Very clean! Big restrooms equipped with changing tray and toilet and urinal in each restroom.

Went yesterday as a group of 5 for an early happy hour in the bar and then outside on the sun drenched deck for dinner. The waitstaff is amazing – bartender, waitress and bus boy. All kind, attentive and very professional. Everything we ordered from the martini to cocktails and pretzel sticks were excellent and all our dinners (especially those amazing fries) were delicious. From the baked clams, to the daily special, lobster roll and on to the swordfish tacos. Will definitely be back after such a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
