    Very noisy. Loud disco music at Sunday brunch? Service was great, but apologetic, as kitchen had no French toast, but had bread and eggs, then refused to make an omelette. Huh?

    My second time going to Sign of the Whale and unfortunately, the food is still disappointing. the Ambiance is so nice, beautiful place, service is good, but the food and drinks are horrible! I went to sign of the whale when it first opened (years ago) and hadn't been back because of the horrible food, went yesterday to celebrate a birthday, and wanted to give it a second chance being that it has been years since I've been there last, and the food is just that terrible that even my kids wouldn't eat the chicken fingers (kids favorite). My suggestion, focus on improving the food because everything else seems good.

    Unfortunately, our Sunday morning brunch experience was ruined by blasting death metal. It was incomprehensible. Couldn’t even hear my family sitting right next to me. Ears hurting and bellies empty, we had to give up. When we spoke to the hostess on our way out, she said it was “Emo Brunch” day and would only be getting louder. Would have no way of knowing this without checking their Instagram. So be sure to do that first. Oddly, the music they were blasting ahead of the DJ’s arrival was anything but emo. Think Pantera. All around poor experience that could have been avoided with better communication by the restaurant. Not being from around here, we had to hunt for an hour in the rain to find something else.
