    It was a lovely dining experience. The food was very nice. The service was great and my lemon, lime and bitters was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending the Whalebone Wharf to others. Thankyou.

    You would come just for the river views but the great food and service made it to be the perfect New Year Eve lunch. Nothing was rushed. All the dishes were beautifully plated and each done to perfection.

    The food was outstanding, only we ordered a starter and entrees and the came out together? Lobster was superb, but took a while. Tried to order dessert, had the menu put in front of us, but waited 10 minutes to order as the staff were cleaning tables so we decided to leave. Need to focus on the customers
