   We went with friends here for a birthday, and we all had steaks of some sort, NY wife had beef Wellington & said it was amazing, I had the ribeye which was so tasty, and one of our friends had the wagyu, Oscar was a great server.

   Outstanding service! The food is top notch as I had a rib eye. We did a simple, business in and out dinner and it was on par for the Whaling Station. I enjoy that everyone checks on you and your dining experience.

   Their prime rib is wonderful. My sister had the beef wellington and loved it! They were so wonderful, they were out of the beef wellington when we arrived, but were making more, so we told them we would wait for it and they said not a problem. My sister was really looking forward to that, so it was worth the wait. I have been going here for over 40 years. I highly recommend it.

   Food is delicious 10/10 with generous portions. Our server (I think his name was David), was very knowledgeable, funny, professional, got the food and drinks out at the appropriate times. Him, his staff, and the food and restaurant made our Valentine’s Day dinner very memorable! Will definitely be back!

   The French onion soup was to die for. The porterhouse for two was perfectly cooked. Jose our waiter was excellent and attentive. Another perfect outing at the Whaling Station.

   A really traditional steakhouse with one of the beast steaks I’ve ever tasted. I had the prime ribeye which was the best tasting steak I’ve ever had. My wife had the sand dabs which was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. The sides(garlic mashed potatoes and veggies) were equally as tasty! They offer a great wine list as well. The service was top notch with all our needs being met. We highly recommend this restaurant for a truly great dining experience.

    My son who lives in Maryland, his buddy who lives in Overland Park KS and my good friend from Las Vegas have meet in Monterey every year for many years to attend the AT&T Pro Am for a day and play rounds of golf nearby, before and after. We always designate the last night of our trip as “Whaling Station night” as there is no better way to end a fun filled trip than to dine there! We are always greeted with fantastic food and drink, great ambiance and top shelf service and are never disappointed. Our next trip is a year away and we all can’t wait to return to the Whaling Station!
