Wonderful eclectic atmosphere with open space in the back. Great service and delicious food. A City Island treasure! Looking forward to sharing the experience with friends and family.

Have been here many times over the years and has never disappointed. Setting is very eclectic leaning towards nautical and is very comfortable. If you come during warm weather they have very nice outdoor seating. They have an assortment of beers and craft cocktails available. Have had .multiple dishes but my favorites are the tuna dish, crab cake dish, shrimp scampi dish, and the Black Whale Burger is outstanding. Also a good bet is one of their desserts. My favorite place on City Island. Only drawback is that it would be outstanding if they were waterfront.

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at The Black Whale in City Island on at least six occasions. The staff is extremely attentive and read nuances professionally. The menu and specials are creative and never boring. We love the cute outdoor patio and our family feels safe and comfortable there.City Island is a quiet hidden gem!

First time at this restaurant, service was amazing. The waitress was knowledge and very courteous! Her suggestions were spot on! Very cozy ambiance. My favorite dish was the shrimp pesto. Drinks were delish!Desserts spot on and cappuccino was perfect. Although this is not a steakhouse the NY strip was perfect, melted in your mouth! Will definitely frequent this restaurant.

Wonderful experience. We got there as soon as it opened, a group of 4 people and we had a great service from the people that worked at the restaurant. The food took a little while to get to us, but we ordered the main courses that require more work and details, so since everything that we choose was made at the home made at restaurant, it was super worthy.
The food itself was excellent, we ordered the salmon, the meatloaf, the special of the weekend and the chicken (highly recommended!!!), everything’s cooked perfectly.
The restaurant have a beautiful decoration, the space is cozy and beautiful, so you can definitely enjoy a meal with your family, friends or a date.
Great experience!

Cozy atmosphere, meaning very small place. Think a living converted. In warmer weather there’s an out door space at the back. Still warm cozy atmosphere. If you looking for an intimate setting this is it.
Its a resturant so the food. For the price point.. on the fence. Guess city Island everything more expensive. Back to the food. The Salmon was good, the shrimp and pasta.. for the price.. on the fence.

Updated review!!!!!
The food was really good BUT they sneaked in a surcharge if you used a card that was put on a small piece of paper in the check envelope thing They should have told us before we got the check if this is a new policy so I guess pay with cash when you go I love this restaurant but this wasn’t like this the last time I went which was like three weeks ago. Also when asked the waitress said to ask the owner about it who wasn’t there…

Great little place! Excellent food, service, cleanliness, and atmosphere! Tired of having to book a reservation in Brooklyn three weeks in advance and still being disappointed? Then take the drive out to City Island and see how it’s done!

Such an Amazing Gem on City Island! The food is amazing, I highly recommend going in the evening and sitting outside, the ambiance is amazing. The Staff is amazing, and the food is amazing! This is a place where you will not regret waiting for a table…. The food is tasteful, made to perfection, trust me, not everyone knows how to make pasta! And I’m VERY picky when it comes to eating out as I am a chef! So I highly recommend this place!
