We recently tried whales tail in Northport and had such a nice time ! It's located on the water and has amazing views of the local local marina For drinks, we ordered the tequila frose, which was PHENOMENAL!! We really loved the frose, it tasted like the perfect summer drink We also ordered the watermelon Mojito, which was delicious as well! For lunch, we ordered the surf and turf taco, the bang bang, shrimp taco and the street bowl. The tacos were amazing and you could taste how fresh seafood was! The street bowl had a great variety of flavors, we even added grilled shrimp and it was overall delicious! The staff was very kind and this is definitely a great spot to hang out at with friends. They have taco Tuesday specials and even half off appetizers on Thursdays! We love the vibes here and would definitely come back for drinks for a girls night out They also have a new podcast which features tips and tricks of the restaurant business!

Whales Tale is fun! They have at least three frozen drinks and the tacos are big and delicious. We had a lovely if not completely what you think of when you think of a pina colada and nachos to start. The nachos are also basic but good if you like a very very very basic nacho. The tacos are the star here. We had tuna, bang shrimp, turkey burnt ends, and Nashville chicken. The turkey burnt ends were unreal. And the tuna had the best wasabi sauce. Plus the tacos are hardy big boys. Perfect for an easy breezy drink and taco night. Plus you'll never know if it's the Whales Tale or the Whale's Tale which is just a lovely homage to Crazy Ex Girlfriend's Spiders/Spider's (IYKYK)

The service here was quick and efficient. The food was phenomenal with excellent portions and great taste. The only complaint was the air conditioning as there was none present and it was a hot summer day. I loved the Maui tacos they were very good and I the chicken was cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed the nachos very much because of all the guacamole they gave us and salsa. The surf and turf tacos were good and described as delicious and savory. I recommend not getting the guacamole only because it is more expensive than the nachos which have the guacamole already in it and more. Another tip is to post an instagram photo of your food for 10% off your order I took a photo of my friend in a lovely fashion. Overall great experience 4/5!
