    Outstanding food and wine

    Aperitifs in Ocean Lounge - great setting like an Orangerie with tasteful furnishings, lush plants and perfect lighting. Restaurant food world class with great ambience and attentive service

    Delicious food and excellent service!

    We worked our way through the menu - bread, entree, main and dessert and we loved it all! The staff were very friendly. We loved it here. It’s a little more on the costly side but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended!!!

    Never Fails to Disappoint

    I love this place and come here regularly. Definitely the best place for a nice dinner. Must try the Eye Fillet for main & coconut sorbet for dessert.

    My favourite eatery in Narooma

    I have visited the whale on numerous occasions over the last 10 years or so and it never fails to live up to my expectations. My choice of eatery in Narooma bar none.

    Great food for a country motel

    The food at Whale was exceptional. It seems that the chef has the potential to work at something other than a smallish beach side motel but maybe he just likes living and working in Narooma. All our dishes has that bit of something special. Service...More

    Great atmosphere and views, but the food lets it down a little

    We have been going to the Whale Restaurant for years but our last dinner there was a bit disappointing. The atmosphere and service is great, the view is spectacular, but the food was a bit bland and not what we have experienced here before. The...More

    Easy to access, exciting food you don't expect from room service. Best of all this beautiful area has to offer.

    HI. To be honest i am not to sure. I do know they have a very extensive menu and do go out of their way to cater for all tastes. Maybe call them direct at 44762411 to ask.
