Reviews


Guests have varying opinions about the food and service at the restaurant, with some enjoying the delicious food options such as grilled swordfish and a seafood tower, while others were disappointed by the slow service and lack of a kids menu. Some guests had positive experiences, such as enjoying the live Jazz music and having a great value meal during Restaurant Week brunch. Others found the service to be both pleasant and efficient, while some felt the restaurant could improve on presentation and timing. Overall, the restaurant seems to have potential but may need to address certain issues to ensure a consistently positive dining experience for all customers, Whaley's typically has an average rating of 4.6.
