My family had been coming to Pirates Cove in Manteo for years and Whale of the Tale is one of our favorite places to eat. So worth waiting in line����

Very good. Reasonably priced seafood. It's a very popular place though, it may have to do with that we went on a Friday night, but was a 45 minute wait to be seated and probably around 30 minutes after we ordered before we got our food. The waitress was very attentive. I would go again, but probably not around dinner time.

Food was very good, our server forgot to read us the specials list, but adjusted our orders when we overheard them from another server. The lobster was seriously hard shell (yum) and not watery at all. Stuffed flounder was covered in the tarragon cream sauce, it was a little too much sauce. Overall, beautiful views, good food, good service.

The food was great! I had the broiled seafood combo with scallops, shrimp, crabcake and mahi, side of garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Excellent!! Our server was Farrah and she was amazing too! Attentive, and accommodating. We were a large party of 17, all was perfect!
