    Good food, decent service. Not the superlative experience needed to justify prices.

    Full dining room, so noisier than expected; nice atmosphere (but lose the 1950s plastic flowers). Server (Ashley) was outstanding: friendly, cheerful, efficient and attentive. Appetizers (burrata, lobster crepe) were excellent. Salmon and Halibut (tonight’s special) were both perfectly fresh and tasty— generous portions; no room for dessert! We’ll be back.

    Very expensive, most entrees over $55.00 . Service and staff were excellent. Sauces were a bit on the heavy side which did not enhance the dishes. BYOB was nice and helped the overall cost of the dinner. With tip the bill was $480 for 4 adults and 2 children. We had just 2 appetizers and no dessert and there was only one soft drink ordered. Experience we nice but hard to justify the cost versus value.

    We used to go to this restaurant often in the past and always enjoyed our meal and experience there, but it has drastically changed. The meals are way overpriced now. They even charge you for bread! In the past you would get a complimentary appetizer and lovely warm bread rolls. The service was great - our waitress was wonderful but we won’t be going back in a hurry.

    Lots of locals dine at Whispers because it's the best restaurant in Spring Lake. Tourists flock there, too, for outstanding food and service and a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. It's elegant but not pretentious. We had the mozzarella-burrata and the baby arugula salad to start and savored the lobster crepe. Server Izzy was a gem -- very helpful in menu suggestions but not overbearing. This was our second visit and we'll return there the next time we're in town.

    Both of us got the specials, which were excellent and piping hot. Salad and calamari for appetizer which were also very good and the only negative was dessert. We were brought our coffee right away and told our dessert would be right out. Half and hour later it was not and they did not come over again despite their other tables being less than 5 feet away. We wound up taking it to go and it was not as described. Strawberry short cake had strawberry preserves and cream was like a cheese cake. Have eaten here many times before and we come yearly for our anniversary. The dessert will not deter me from returning. This is always consistently a great byob and usually flawless service. For two to eat it was about $250 gratuity of 20% added. Additional CC charge applies here.

    As always first class food and service. Prices although a bit high are comparable to other first class restaurants.
