Best Seasonal Restaurants in New Bedford

We visited the Black Whale on Valentine’s Day. We had a reservation for 6:30 and were seated at 7:00. The place was mobbed so we anticipated a delay. Once we were seated, we were given 2 glasses of champagne for the delay which was totally unexpected. It was a very nice gesture. Our server Amy was exceptional. She was so pleasant and professional. All the staff were top notch and pleasant. We started with the boom boom shrimp which were delicious with a nice kick. I had the steak frites and it was perfection. It’s always an exceptional cut and cooked just the way I like it. My husband ordered the lobster thermidor which he said was delicious. If you’re up for a delicious dinner with exceptional service, this is the place.

Although I have lived in the area for years, this was the first time going to Cork. The waiter was friendly, professional, and attentive. We had two entrees, the lamb and the scallops. Both were cooked perfectly. We did not leave a morsel on the plate. We also tried a new wine that is now our favorite. We will definately be going back soon. Top notch ambiance, service, and food.

We enjoyed our Valentines meal. The oysters Rockefeller were outstanding. We also had the Romeo and Juliet filet and lobster. Both were large portions and very flavorful.

We always love going to Joe's. The food is always delicious and the choices are interesting and creative. The value for your money is good. The bread is always a treat. Our waitress was wonderful. There is always a fun vibe there. The environment is bright, fun and colorful. The specials are always worth a look. Parking is never a problem and reservations are easy. They are always willing to accommodate any needs you may have. This is a great place to meet a friend for a drink or bring the family for a celebration.

Service was stellar! Our waitress was very attentive. Food was also very tasty- the new fried Brussels sprouts were very good. Only issue was the kitchen must have forgotten to fire our kid’s chicken tenders. She munched on her fruit and fries and legit the tenders came out last. It happens- she still ended up eating them all.
