The Whale Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
This is a very good restaurant.
Food is good and service is great. A bit pricey but you will leave happy.
Expensive.
Neat Vegas decor. Friendly staff. Super bathrooms. Large drink menu. Classy place.
I enjoyed the ambiance of this restaurant.
Good attention to detail, and friendly waitstaff. No problems with the food or drinks
Goodbye $95 Brunch for Two: Not only did you charge me a
Goodbye $95 Brunch for Two: Not only did you charge me a service fee for using a credit card (I presume?) but you added another fee for using your payment/POS vendor (Sunday.com). And to top it off, you decided to calculate tip off the service fees and taxes too . I've been here dozens of times but this is officially my last visit. So goodbye, Whale. I don't think you're going to survive the gouging. It will be your end.
Fine dining quality food for just mid-tier pricing.
Even the simplest dishes have been subtly elevated beyond average restaurant food. The dining area is great--almost always busy so I'd recommend reservations. The summertime provides the best milieu since the windows open up for ideal people-staring activities. Staff must be great because I don't ever recall having an issue or bad experience. Highly recommend, and it's my go-to when I'm hosting people from out-of-town.
First time at The Whale.
Met some friends for a happy hour cocktails and some dinner. Ribeye cooked to a perfect med rare as requested. Not quite as tender as expected but the flavor made up for it. Wife ordered lamb chops and I glanced over to witness her with bone in mouth getting every last bit of lamb ...must have been delish lol. Appetizers were good, lobster tacos were tasty with a lil kick and the deviled eggs were just like mom used to make only tasty (sorry mom). Only downside was the noise level. Music was loud causing everyone to raise the convo and making it difficult to hold a conversation. My voice actually got horse by end of dinner and that never happens. Service was on point and price was a little high but ok for the quality of food. We had a "whale" of a time here.
I've visited here twice for brunch recently.
. really great food. We loved our server Kelly, she was attentive and a fun time. The breakfast potatoes are to die for. Would like to come back to try dinner.
Great food and atmosphere.
Service was very on point and perfect for our time there. Definitely a place to relax after a long day or a weekend visit
I 100% recommend their happy hour.
It runs from 5-7pm. They have various options of food as well as $8 cocktails. I got the $15 burger and fries and while the burger was a little too salty to me it was overall very good, 9/10. I also had the north of Havana and the regular fries, 10/10. The ambiance is very elegant and great for a girls night. However what truly made this spot 5 stars for me was the amazing service. Our waitress was kind, understanding, and attentive. I do not take great service for granted and would definitely return. Please note. This review is based solely off their happy hour menu and prices. I have yet to return for their regular priced items.
Nice place for Sunday Funday or just drop in.
The Whale has a lively vibe and great hospitality. 90s hip hop music was nice, they switch genres accordingly. "D" the manger was personable and cool. Every staff member I encountered was nice and friendly. Ordered Pimento Mac & Cheese, Shrimp tacos, Hearts of palm salad, etc. Everything tasted good. Must go back.

Amazing
I revisited The Whale recently, and it was just as amazing as I remembered. Despite not having been there since early 2020, the vibrant atmosphere, friendly staff, and delectable food were still top-notch. I decided to try the Lobster Tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. The wait staff and hosts were exceptionally kind, offering fantastic recommendations and promptly seating us. It's a fantastic place to bring friends when they're visiting, and the unique decor and aesthetics add a special touch. Plus, it's a perfect spot for a memorable date night.
Excellent choice for dinner
This establishment is an excellent choice for dinner or a gathering with friends over drinks! The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between swanky and fun. The food is skillfully prepared and delightful to the taste buds. The desserts are also incredibly delicious. The outdoor seating provides a comfortable and spacious setting. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend this place to my friends.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
NOBU Atlanta
Amazing and easy process
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didnโt have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldnโt be happier! ๐
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasnโt happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasnโt changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venueโs rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐งจ๐งจ๐งจ now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a responseโฆ how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been โmatchedโ with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
