Walked into the Whaler after a business meeting last week at the perfect time. The restaurant just opened, every table was available, and every TV was playing a different NCAA tournament game. We chose our table near the bar and grabbed a draft beer, a delicious Elysian IPA. We intended to stop in for a quick drink but really enjoyed the vibe and music and saw all the delicious food coming out of the kitchen. After a brief glance at the menu, we decided to try the Whaler burger and we definitely weren’t disappointed. The burger was piled sky high and seasoned very well, we added a side order of fries that went quicker than the burger. After we demolished our burgers we enjoyed another drink and before we left, took a quick self guided tour of the restaurant, including hanging in the ‘game room nook’ at the far end of the bar. Not only is the nook a great place to have a seat and enjoy some table games or games on the TVs, the nook is adjacent to one of the two outdoor patio areas. Had it not been so cold and gloomy we would have definitely sat outside and enjoyed the view. Overall we were impressed with the meal, staff, and vibe of the Whaler, we’ll see you in a few days for another NCAA tournament game!

Had an amazing time here. Good food and good drinks. The lobster roll was amazing. The drinks were good too. The staff is very friendly and the crowd is very lively. Would visit again.

The vibe here is casual,nothing fancy, but perfect if you want a quick bite and drink. There is a wrap around bar with bar stools and hooks to hang a purse or jacket underneath the bar. There are lots of large screens for sports.

The pulled sandwich i had at the Santa Monica Whaler couple days ago was incredibly delicious, it’s one of my favorite foods i ever had. I would love to come back there. The waitress that served us was extremely nice and friendly.

The waitress Okema here is what makes this place amazing. Love the disco – house beats on Saturdays. DJ is on point!

The Santa Monica Whaler was a disaster from the very start. To be fair, we probably should’ve left when we walked in. The atmosphere is by far the most basic, uninviting and plain, to the point of looking unfinished. There are random

Lobster roll had very little lobster and was a huge disappointment for the price. Kids chicken strips were over cooked. Pulled pork sandwich was decent. Fried shrimp basket was ok. Beer was good. Overall wouldn’t recommend.

Popped in for a quick bite for lunch – casual establishment with fast friendly service with decent choice on menu. Sit outside and people watch whilst having a beer / lunch. The Italian Job sub is very good
