    It was quite a unique experience. We started outside beautiful weather. A few drinks started with their appetizers, and then a tremendous storm came in that we had to be rushed inside as well as half the participants. Staff did an incredible job bringing everyone inside organizing the tables at after a short delay. We put an indoor table. Our appetizers just came back out again neil’s shortly after that.. the food was fantastic. Service was even better, the manager, stopping by all the tables to checking on the guest.. all of the staff bus boys, very friendly and easy-going, which is pretty impressive in such a hectic situation. Acted like total professionals. Cheers for salt keep up the good work.

    Whalers never disappoints! Drinks were great. I had the special Margarita which was delicious so I had two! We got the Feta appetizer. Great to have an appetizer that is something different and not fried. We all shared it and everyone loved it. I ordered the Shrimp Parpedella and it was flavorful with plenty shrimp. I couldn't finish it so I had it for lunch. Sitting outside is so welcome after the winter. This is one of my favorite restaurants.
