One of my favorite places in the world this is what you call Nautical very friendly they care for the client ,great food if you request a drink and they dont have it, they will make it for you anyway its a place that they will never say to you no, is always a yes and they dont have it they will make it to please you and to make you feel like family very clean organized professional thats what you call a real restaurant all kind of food around the world you name it its one of my favorite places I highly recommended for you and your family it will make you feel like home so if you think you coming back ,do so because its the best place to enjoy in or outdoor relaxation enjoying your meal and being family.The owner and the staff are highly professional people who knows how to treat costumers the quality of the food is 200% over a hundred exquisite the place is always very clean like the way you have your home I highly recommend the black whale to any person whose very hungry or family activities or business to have a good time good music good food and good enjoyment. As far as recommend thousands of people and if feedback is outstanding they will be back for family events business events and even romantic evenings .God bless the black whale . Keep it up. My brother Justin and I really really enjoy eating here also with our parents for any event.

I made reservations on Tuesday for a party of eight for a Saturday night reservation which was then followed by a confirmation phone call by the restaurant on Saturday. I confirmed for party of eight. Once my party and I arrived on time for our reservation, I informed the hostess our party was no longer going to be for eight due to members of our party being sick and were not going to be able to make it (this would have allowed you to seat another party of 2 or 3 and keep a table for 5). The hostess handed a buzzer to me. FORTY minutes later we still were NOT seated at our table NOR been notified at the time of being given the buzzer because we were a party of less then six people we would be placed back on a waiting time. I made a reservation well in advance and would have appreciated being aware of a wait time. My party and I were treated like we were just a walk in with no reservations. Why make a reservation? The food was good but way overpriced.....I think in the future I will choose to make a reservation at a different local restaurant that will appreciate my business. I must say the waitress did a WONDERFUL job and was not her fault for the lack of communication.

worsssssssssssssssssssst ............................................... service ever. first we did not get seated host seemed mad , our waiter did not come till like 10 min later. drinks were hot, food took long to come, then to ask for check was another 15 min, and another 10 min to get it and we wanted to pay by card but waiter never came so we just ended up paying cash to get the heck out of there and never to return again.

Its almost like your eating in someones backyard with all that patio furniture. This is a nice place for an outdoor three course meal. The food is consistently good and the atmosphere is homely. After dinner, take a walk to Lickety Split for dessert, just down the street!

Really good food, awesome garden and great service, the waitress was so kind. I ordered a potato soup with spinach, chicken fajita and brownies with vanilla ice cream, everything was delicious and big, we had to share. Definitely a place to come back!

One of our most favorite restaurants on City Island! Great lunch and dinner options - indoors or outdoors in the summer - and a fantastic Sunday brunch! Do yourself a favor and check it out - its worth the trip - like a vacation dinner right in NYC!

First time for Sunday brunch, which I dont care to repeat. Overpriced food, rushed service. As soon as I placed my fork on the plate, the plate was removed without asking.

After sharing a meal here with my girlfriend, we realized this would be become a must go-to-place on a monthly basis. Food is excellent. Service good. Price is fair.

Inexpensive local American food. Lovely in the summer on the back patio. A real staple in the neighborhood and consistently decent food at the right price.

Food was amazing. If I wasnt told about this place I would have passed it up. I now no where to go in City Island. No wait and quick service.

Always get a great meal here. Staff is great. Family-friendly. It is a must stop on our yearly cruise from Nyack to points east on our sailboat.

This is a must go place if you are on city island and are a vegetarian. One of my favorite bronx haunts, great food and excellent service.

Fantastic atmosphere, delicious food, and wonderful staff! Try the meatloaf, the Starving Artist, or one of the great fish specials.
