THE BLACK WHALE RESTAURANT For more than ten years, we have been re-living the glory of the infamous Black Whale from the 60s. Whether you are enjoying a meal in one of the quaint yet eclectic dining rooms or sipping a cocktail in the garden, we hope you are always comfortable at THE WHALE. The menu at THE BLACK WHALE is extensive with a little something for everyone. In the mood for mom's cooking ? Try a thick slice of meatloaf with mashed potatoes. Looking for lighter fare ? Let us suggforest the seared sesame crusted tuna with a ginger-orange sauce. Top off your evening with a home-made, warm apple crisp or try one of our towering ice cream sundaes or chocolate fondue with fresh fruit and assorted cakes. THE BLACK WHALE is open for dinner Tuesday through Sunday. Saturday from 12:00 pm until 10:00 pm, a Brunch Buffet is served from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm on Sundays.
