The Whales Way Restaurant

We went there during lunch time, but they were short on staff that day, and only the tapas menu was available. We had 3 dishes and 2 drinks, all were delicious. The chef was incredibly nice too, we definitely will come back next time.

The best on Straddie!! If you're after fresh seafood, handmade pasta in a relaxed comfortable atmosphere then you've found your place.The views and endless breezes are an added bonus. Chef Matt is friendly and always eager to please.Can recommend the oysters and seafood fettuccine!

The food was delicious and beautifully presented, serving sizes generous and reasonably priced. Good selection of drinks, espresso martini was one of the best I've had. Staff worked really hard as it was quite busy but they managed very well not to keep people waiting too long, especially as they had a lot of walk ins. Exceptional service by Straddie standards, will definitely be booking again next holiday.

Six of us visited. Nice and friendly staff. Good spot in town. Honest enough to suggest we try an alternative beer to that we chose as it wasn't cold.Reassuringly limited menu from which we went for 4 different options.Mine was fish with fries and salad. As you can see from the photo the fries were greasy. The fish was small but ok.Friends said their food was ok but one had grizzly steak which he complained about.$350 for 6 of us given the quality was steep. Friendly staff pushed my review to 3 stars.

Looking for a great meal at a decent price? We loved the innovative menu and prompt, friendly service. One of us had pork belly with scallops. She loved the crackling and the scallops were huge. Another had a steak with bugs, yum, and I had an entree size fettuccine with mussels and prawns. It was one of the best pastas that I’ve ever had, but just a bit too salty. The fourth member of our group had a kids meal and that was good too! Cocktails were all $13. Couldn’t recommend this more highly.

We visited for our wedding anniversary. The food was amazing, except for the cold mushrooms served up on my eye fillet. Otherwise a very delicious meal, paired with the calamari and arancini which certainly impressed, compliments to the chef.Unfortunately, our visit was let down by poor service. We were seated in a corner looking at what felt like the venue's storage. Had made a booking earlier in the week via phone after messaging via their website and social media received no responses. Waitress took our drinks order and drinks arrived after we finished our entrees. No plates served with entrees (other tables did get plates). My wife ordered the duck but instead received the lamb (we didn't bother as same price and she wanted that too). After we finished our first lot of drinks we weren't asked if we would like anything else to drink, had to ask if we could order more.We ended up going to a local store to get ice creams for dessert as we didn't want to stay any longer.

We went with our two small children and had a fantastic evening. The staff was really nice and took care off our girls so we could enjoy the fantastic food.We had mussels to share, the famous lasagna, the fish of the day and a kids portion of calamari which our daughter really liked.My favorite was the mussels.Thanks again!

Nice little restaurant on North straddie, came for a quiet lunch, the workers were very nice and let us sit at the bar with a nice view of the beach and ocean. Food was decent, we got the lunch menu which was a bit cheaper than the dinner. The burger patty was juicy although it was pretty plain dish overall. Friends got the pasta and seafood platter which they said it was great

I had the beef burger, and my friends got a share platter and pasta dish. The bun was slightly sweet and patty tasted home made. The view was really pleasant and the staffs were very friendly. I paid 17 dollars for the burger and the pasta is about the same. Stick with seafood here apparently they are very fresh and tasty. Would recommend
