Aquinnah Restaurants

Always excellent food and friendly professional service!

Our server Christen was amazing! We had a nice late afternoon lunch and are looking forward to going back!

Love this place! It’s quaint and has a very New England vibe. Had 6:30 reservations, arrived and it was jammed. Had a drink at the bar and was sat shortly afterwards. Food was absolutely amazing. If you have room for dessert, the bread pudding was insanely good! Can’t wait for warmer weather to enjoy more.

It is always a positive experience here…last evening was no exception…at least 7 people checked on us, served us or just smiled at us…every person on the staff seemed to really enjoy their jobs and team of associates…kudos to Matt, Tory, Cassandra and your teammates!!!!

When you find yourself in New Bedford, MA, treat yourself to a meal at The Black Whale. Extremely convenient location, plenty of parking and a beautiful building make a great first impression. We were warmly greeted by a Manager and a Server, and even though we were 40 minutes early, they sat us straight away. The menu is extensive, however, not overwhelming, and SO many great choices. Our Server, Meredith was very warm and welcoming, starting us off with water and their delectable salmon dip with tasty “crackers”. To aid the decision making process, my wife started with a Painkiller, and I a Maine Lunch. We finally decided on the tuna poke bowl for my wife and the pan-seared scallops for me. Oh, and I had to try the New England Clam Chowder, the best I have had in quite some time. Then Meredith informed me the chowder is an Officials and People’s choice award winner from this year’s festival. Please do try it! Honestly one of the most delightful, delicious and enjoyable meals I’ve had in the area. The Black Whale is definitely a must do when you find yourself in the New Bedford area, or you are just passing through.
