Restaurants near Gay Head

A cold January day and a bright warm spot to enjoy a scrumptious lunch with friends. The comments around the table were in unison about the salads and dressing, the Hall of Fame chowder and swordfish Reuben sandwich. What a great meal.

Elegant and culinary delight ! Great place for our date night !

The very best Italian food in our area . Beautiful atmosphere

It is always a positive experience here…last evening was no exception…at least 7 people checked on us, served us or just smiled at us…every person on the staff seemed to really enjoy their jobs and team of associates…kudos to Matt, Tory, Cassandra and your teammates!!!!

When you find yourself in New Bedford, MA, treat yourself to a meal at The Black Whale. Extremely convenient location, plenty of parking and a beautiful building make a great first impression. We were warmly greeted by a Manager and a Server, and even though we were 40 minutes early, they sat us straight away. The menu is extensive, however, not overwhelming, and SO many great choices. Our Server, Meredith was very warm and welcoming, starting us off with water and their delectable salmon dip with tasty “crackers”. To aid the decision making process, my wife started with a Painkiller, and I a Maine Lunch. We finally decided on the tuna poke bowl for my wife and the pan-seared scallops for me. Oh, and I had to try the New England Clam Chowder, the best I have had in quite some time. Then Meredith informed me the chowder is an Officials and People’s choice award winner from this year’s festival. Please do try it! Honestly one of the most delightful, delicious and enjoyable meals I’ve had in the area. The Black Whale is definitely a must do when you find yourself in the New Bedford area, or you are just passing through.
