    We went to the Whalebone Wharf for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. The scallop special for entree was delicious as was the seafood platter for two! The service was excellent and all staff welcoming and friendly, especially Hannah. Would definitely recommend for a wonderful evening out and special occasion.

    Other than the lobster ordered. Meals were small & not value for money. I had the lamb & it was very fatty & not nice to eat.
