We went here for happy hour which I would recommend. The lobster tacos were SO good but it I would never go and pay the full price for them because they are pretty small. We got a couple of mocktails that were extremely sweet so good if you like sweet drinks. I wasn't a huge fan of the turkey burger so I probably wouldn't get it again. The service was good. We sat inside and they had all the windows open so it was almost like being outside. I think it'd be fun to go back at night cause it definitely has a sexy vibe.

First time going and will definitely be returning! Not only was the food great, but the service was even better! The amount of food we got for the value was great, and they have a pretty robust GF menu. For anyone going: the Moroccan Turkey Burger is amazing!

4.4 Stars Food ordered: Lobster Tacos, Buffalo cauliflower, cherry habanero bbq wings, lamb chops, fish sandwich, pimento mac & cheese. The wings fall off the wing. The fish sandwich is delicious and solid. The Lobster tacos are great. The service was good. Very cute atmosphere.

I recommend this place because it's family friendly and pet friendly. They have a wonderful brunch menu on Saturdays and Sunday. The ambiance is amazing and the service was top notch. I really enjoyed their chicken and waffles which came with a small tube of syrup and hot sauce. The presentation was amazing. I also had their cherry mule as a mock tail but you can get alcohol in it as well. The place was great for a girls brunch day.

I lived down the street when The Whale first opened and my boyfriend and I were here nearly every week. We loved the spreads (pimento, french onion, and Louisiana Hot (which is no longer on the menu)) We thought they had the best chicken sandwich in existence and I always get excited about their circulating frozen cocktails. When the place opened, I would have given 5 stars. It was fairly priced, the owner would come around to chat, they have my favorite decorated bathrooms in the city. And the atmosphere is unique and flirty. However, I'm writing this now to say that I no longer desire to come anymore, especially for brunch. They're always busy which is good, but when you can even get a table, the music is SO LOUD that you can't hear your friends talking. They used to turn up the music at nighttime which was fine, but I personally don't want "club brunch" on a Sunday afternoon and that's really turned myself and my friends away. I also don't recall the spreads being $25 which seems too overpriced to get now like we always used to do. If they turned that price down lower along with their music I'd likely become a regular again.

Really great place to eat and have drinks during the summer. It has an indoor outdoor feel with the windows open. They play club songs and there's a really fun vibe. There's a lot of food options, from crab rolls, to burgers, to lobster tacos, and brunch options. My favorites included the spreads: the French onion, Brie, pimento cheese, the tomato chutney, and the roasted red pepper. The bread with the spreads was buttered and soft. The lobster tacos had a crispy shell that paired well with the tangy mango salsa. I do wish they had more pieces of lobster in the taco though. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles and the waffle was crispy and sweet. The chicken was tender and juicy. Our waitress Brie took really good care of us. We were a table of 10 people and there were no issues with our orders. They do apply an automatic 20% service fee to the bill though. Definitely give them a visit if you're in the Logan Square area.

In a word: Kennedy. Literal the best bartender to create the best experience for our Sunday funday. We had a sober friend with us and Kennedy went above and beyond to make sure he felt just as included: shaking up his canned cold brew and serving like an espresso martini. I INSIST you RUN to the whale!!!

I think I died and went to brunch heaven... I would def bet on this spot Holy moly we didn't drink but you would have to have a whales belly to finish that mimosa tower. Looks to be a great brunch drinking spot. Let's talk about the atmosphere. This is what you want a brunch spot to be. Beautiful vibes and the cutest bathrooms! Service was top notch ! The food was divine. Lobster waffles with the cutest syrup bottle - yes. Cute and delicious. Blueberry skillet I will dream about. Why am I not back here today ?!? Pro tip- go!

We had a great date night here on Sunday! The inside decor was definitely old Las Vegas and there was plenty of comfortable seating. I had a delicious Cali lime salad and sweet potato fries and my husband really enjoyed his fried chicken sandwich. The music was a bit loud so it was a little hard to hear eachother but it was a fun spot for a night out!

My friends and I recently tried The Whale for brunch on Sunday! We got lucky with a table as it was Easter day and most brunch places were blocked out. The Whale is located in Logan Square and has a lot of seating space - they have booths, high stools, bar chairs, plenty of space to even accommodate large parties. They offer the entire menu even during brunch which was great and have a lot of vegan options. We ordered BBQ Jackfruit sandwich, steamed broccoli, Chicken Waffles, Shrimp Grits, Plain Waffles and Scrambled eggs. The food was delicious. We also ordered an Aprerol Spritz, Bellini and Coffees along with our food. The taste was amazing! For desert, we all shared a Carrot cake and it wasn't dry and had good sweet taste from carrots, wasn't over-sweet. We observed that the menu also served Mimosa towers for a very reasonable price for brunch. What we loved about this place was its quick and seamless way of paying the bill via a QR code which is placed on your table. Everything was just so quick! You can surely check out this place for their wide range of food and drinks options.
