   Food was great and very reasonably priced. Service was just ok and had to wait 15 minutes to get seated even though we had a reservation.

   I don’t know what happened but I had a reservation for 6 pm. Arrived a little early. Seated right away and orders taken. We got an appetizer right away and then nothing except bread and water refills. We waited for an hour. No food. Left to go elsewhere. We were told the delay was to prepare a side order. Scalloped potatoes! It was for a birthday celebration. Just disappointed.

   We dined there tonight food was excellent, everything was great, steaks were cooked as asked and very nicely seasoned, portions were perfect. For what you received it was excellent value. No complaints, would dine there again.

   The prime rib was perfect, as we're all the sides, including the risotto. Jum, our server was extremely attentive and charismatics. We had the melontini and Cucumber cooler drinks which were perfect. Overall, this was a great meal and I can't recommend it enough

   Great dinner with friends at the Whaling Station, valet parking was an unexpected surprise. Service was excellent prompt but not intrusive. The steaks were very good, flavorful and cooked perfectly. It was a bit crowded and noise level was very high. Overall I enjoyed my meal but I would request a quiet part of the restaurant next time. If you are looking for great service and excellent steaks, I highly recommend the Whaling Station.

   There were so many options of steaks, prime rib, new york strip, and T born steak. The ambience was great but a little bit noisy, meaning I think the restaurant is high rating and was packed. Wine lineup was enough for me. I’m not sure recently i see many places which serve DAOU - probably marketing? For me, it is not my cup of tea.
