  This was the best restaurant meal I have ever had, which I do not say lately. I asked the waitress what she suggested, and so I had the most delicious perfectly cooked piece of seafood I could imagine. The wide variety of oysters freshly shuck behind the bar also made for a great starter. I am still in awe of how amazing this was. Highly suggest!!!!

  Walked in on a misty night in search of some good seafood. Was instantly greeted by cheerful and friendly hostesses, got a seat at the bar, took in the warm decor, ordered a drink from yet another friendly member of the staff, and proceeded to dine on some of the finest salmon I've had in a while. Whalesbone met and exceeded every expectation I had. Some say it's pricey, and perhaps it was just a bit, but you get what you pay for and this whole experience, from walking through the front door to the completion of the meal, was exceptional.

  I was about to give 4 stars simply because I prefer the more intimate one on Banks?? But then I came twice in two days, once at the bar (always fun - the barmen/women are always cool) and then a table in the back. So larger and noisier but at least you can have a table! Oh yeah - I forgot - food is top quality - always my first criteria. And the focus on fish is an additional bonus as compared to the usual menus in town.

  Went for dinner with some work colleagues last night, very unique and cool place, the food, ambience and staff are all exceptional ... our waiter Andrew was likely the best server I have ever had. His culinary and wine knowledge went far beyond what one would expect and allowed us the confidence to follow all of his suggestions for both appetizers, main course and wine pairing. If you have the opportunity to try this place request Andrew as your waiter .. you will be in good hands ...

  After hearing about this place for so long, we finally decided to give it a try last month. Going in the restaurant had a nice edgy vibe to it and out waiter was absolutely lovely. The food however was such a huge let down. The Cheesy crab dip was extremely salty and had a strong fishy smell to it. All of us including my young kid preferred just eating the chips that came with it and left the crab dip. Plus I expected to feel and taste actual lumps of crab, but it was mostly tiny pieces of finely crumbled crab. The Garlic prawns were nice, but nothing special. When I go to a high end seafood place (or for that matter any cuisine...steakhouse etc) that serves fresh seafood I have high expectations for the main courses. I expect that the words "Wow that is good" to be the least thing that comes out of my mouth after the first bite. However, that was not the case here. I had the trout which I felt really lacked some salt, but even with adding salt it just felt like a trout that i could have had anywhere else for half the price (but probably without the fancy presentation). I also had a bite from the fish tacos and thought that they tasted quite bland. Definitely won't be going again as the food was a huge let down.
