NEVER AGAIN

by ChrisMo

This place used to be good for ordering delivery, but I just had the worst delivery experience of my life with this place, and I am NEVER ordering from here again. This is what I ordered: Grilled Dragon Salmon that costs $16. Kids Grilled Cheese Sandwich that comes with fries - $6. A dessert called a mango mousse - $6. OK, here we go...Like I usually do, I asked the girl to please substitute the regular fries for sweet potato fries, which is a service they provide, for an extra $1 charge. I asked for whole wheat bread for the sandwich, and was told no problem. This is what actually arrived...the delivery guy came, and the amount was $5 more than it should of been. I called and asked politely what happened, and was told that they did not know a kids grilled cheese was ordered, and gave me a "regular size" grilled cheese, with a separate order of sweet potato fries. I said why should I pay if its your mistake, and was told there was nothing they could do, but hey, "you have more fries now so thats good, right?". I hung up in disgust. I paid the delivery guy with a nice tip for him waiting for me, and sat down to eat. This is what I opened up: 1) Grilled Cheese Sandwich -- was on WHITE BREAD, not whole wheat like I asked. Had to throw it away as white bread is gross to me 2) Grilled Dragon Salmon -- four small pieces (each about the size of a fig newton), on a bed of lettuce and red onions. The salmon tasted too fishy (I'm a salmon lover, and this was not a good taste). 3) The mango mousse was a small slice and was very unappetizing, it was like a piece of half frozen mango juice. Thats it, that was my last experience with this establishment.

• Pros: none
• Cons: lots, read my review

A Gem by the Sea !

by BigKahunall

What a pleasant surprise. This place reminds me of a true Hawaian Sea Shack. It looks like Wyland, spent a month painting ever inch of everywall,including the bathrooms, with his great murals of Whales and Sea Life.

This place is a Chowder House Plus. I had the Raw Oysters and Clams. They had a special 50 cents a piece. I then followed it up with their $10.00 Lobster Special. It was a great experiance, I will be back, next time I am in the area.Maybe Wyland will be there.

• Pros: Love the Ambience
• Cons: Parking, only street parking

Best Seafood on Long Island

by SherBo

I have lived by the Beach my entire life, and I always , always, go to seafood restaurants.

On friday after New Years, I took a Day trip to Long Beach, New York.There were four of us, and we found our way to the West End of Long Beach, after a stop at the Long Beach Pier One Super Sale. When asked, the Pier One employees highly recommended going to the Whale's Tale, in the West End.[ I assumed it must family ]

Of we go to find the Whale's Tale.The outside was small, but it looked very seaside-ish (is that a word)When we went in,WOW, what a great looking place....All the walls had great murals...and mounted Game fish. The Place Looked Spectacular.Now if the food was any good, this would be a home run....

We ordered Clam chowder,Chillian Sea bass,Lobster Raviolis, and a Large Seafood Paella, with large Chunks of Lobster. The food was fantastic..The desserts were better than the main course. I was told all the desserts were made in house. They were great. We all ordered something different and we all shared.

This place was a Grand Slam in both food and Decor.....

On the downside, we were there about 5:30, the place was busy and the barmaid seemed very friendly very efficient, However our waitress. who only had three tables, couldn't care less about us. She was busy sitting in a booth in the rear with three other diners.

She was not friendly, seemed a little dirty. Next time we will be sitting at the Bar....

The prices were cheap, the people, except for our waitress were very friendly..

• Pros: Food and Ambience were great
• Cons: The waitress was on my top ten alltime" Worst Waitress's in the World
