I went to the Black Whale yesterday and it was the perfect day to sit out on the deck and have some food and drinks. Everything was delicious! We tried the oysters, fried clams, mussels mozambique and calamari. If you order the mussels you will want to order extra bread for the sauce! So good. We couldn’t decide on the Sangria so we ordered a pitcher of both red and white. I preferred the red but the white was very good too.

I haven’t even left the parking lot, I couldn’t drive off without placing a review. I have no idea why people come here.
