   First of all, they have complementary valet parking, which is very helpful during the holiday season and parking is very limited. Soon as you walk in service is excellent. Greeted very kindly and quickly seated to our table. Dave, our waiter was amazing, very tentative and made sure we always had what we needed or requested. All the food and drinks were amazing, the kids portions are almost adult sized. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

   What an amazing place! The service was excellent from the start. Ben was very gracious, getting our drink orders in quickly in spite of having a full room and always provided good service in spite of the rush of people and orders around us. We never felt rushed and had a nice leisurely meal - prime NY strip for one of us, filet medallions for the other, and the pancetta wrapped scallops with fettucini for me. The portions were very generous - the NY strip was about 12-14 oz, and prepared perfectly to medium rare as ordered and served with mashed potatoes and spinach which is a nice touch since many places have you order sides a la carte. Overall, a very nice experience and we will be back. The area has a lot of options for steakhouses, but the Whaling Station offered the best value compared to places we frequent in Carmel.

   My wife and I had an amazing experience. We shared a prime rib and the waiter split it down the middle and placed it, a long with shared portions of the sides on separate plates . The food was amazing, the waiter and his assistants were amazing and attentive. I would recommend this place to all of my friends and family.

   It was really loud inside the restaurant. There was a party of about 20 that was loud and annoying. They should have put them at another location. The food was ok but the dinner was ruined by annoyingly loud people. Next time I will eat at the steak houses in Carmel by the Sea.

   Everyone was so attentive yet gave us plenty of room to converse and enjoy our dinner. Ribeye Steaks were delicious. We will definitely be back.
