Review Guidelines

Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

Our Favorite!

By Bill and Rosie on 6/20/2008

This is our favorite dinner place in the Outer Banks.
We always go to the early bird dinners for great value.
The food is excellent - especially the coconut shrimp!
The girls and guys who wait on us are very friendly and do their job well. It's especially nice to visit there every summer and see many of the same faces! We love sitting in a booth by the window for the view but all seats are fine. You won't be disappointed if you try the Whale!

i have to disagree with the review that stated couples with children didn't get window seat - we had 2 children with us last year and had a great view - wonderful food and excellent service - plan to go again this year

Great Seafood

By Guest on 7/18/2007

The food is always excellent here at The Tale of the Whale. The service is great and the views are too. I highly recommend the crab bisque soup, it is wonderful, as is all of the other food. You should make an effort to stop and eat here when in Nags Head.

Not Family Friendly to my Family!

By an NCBeaches Guest on 5/24/2007

My wife and I have made it a habit to patron the Tale of the Whale (TOEW) everytime we visit OBX. We were VERY disapointed in our last visit. It took a few visits to the TOEW to finally realize that they discriminate against families with children. The best seats (w/ views of the water) went to older clientel and childless couples. Families with young children get placed in the large ''rumpus room'' with all the rowdy customers. Additionally, our visit to TOEW was further ruined by the over-cooked pasta and seafood. Our daughter flatly refused to eat her pasta. My wife's fried shrimp dinner was vulcanized by over frying. Overall, the food was bland and tasteless. By the time I reached the end of my dinner, I was experiencing a gag-reflex. I assume it was due to the overuse of MSG on the food.

Sadly to say, TOEW will not be on my dinner schedule for my next visit to OBX. I wish I had gone back to Awful Arthur's again. They know seafood there!!

Best Seafood, pricey, but worth it!

By an NCBeaches Guest on 4/14/2007

Tale of the Whale isn't always open. They usually run pre-evening specials too, so if you can eat early, then you'll save money. Their food is delicious. The service is wonderful. The views are great. If you eat at only one place, then be sure and eat here.
