Reviews

It was a quiet evening on a really cloudy/almost rainy day - so not many people roaming around Kaikoura.nnWe couldn't appreciate the bar and restaurant full, though we are certain the atmosphere would be great on busy occasions. A few big screens for sports lovers also helps the general entertainment.nnIt is more of an almost self-service procedure, where you need to order food by the bar and take a number with you, after which a waiter will bring the food accordingly. Having said that, the team of waiters and waitresses were very nice and polite, and very welcoming.nnWe ordered a plate of Calamari for starters forgot to take the photo, sorry! and ordered a Hawaiian Chicken Burger and Sticky BBQ Ribs for mains. Food was really nice, well seasoned and fresh.nnWalking from the caravan campsites, many will come across other restaurants which also seem good and inviting. It would be a pity if The Whaler misses out on patrons due to selection by convenience, as it really is a nice overall experience to dine here.

Porterhouse steak is good, nice sauce to pair with. Short ribs and seafood chowder are alright, it’s not bad but not the best I’ve had. Service was nice and friendly.

Had a lovely dinner here. The porterhouse steak special with mash. Had to start with some cheesy garlic bread and it was all so yummy.nnThere was about a 45 minute wait for food but staff was very open about this from the start. It was Saturday night so very busy.nnOne if the staff behind the bar I assume was a manager or team leader was phenomenal! She was running around and effectively doing everything with a big smile on her face and laughing at jokes.nnThe only thing that brought the atmosphere down here was a few of the locals. You looked like adults, but your behaviour was abhorrent! Who's passed out on a sofa, drunk, at 6pm. Wow!

I went in  for a late lunch so it was almost empty.  I sat on the veranda with good sea views.nI had chowder with toast whi h was excellent

Not bad but it is expensive for what you get. Two soups, a bowl of chips and a couple of beers cost almost as much as a night in a four star inner city Christchurch hotel. If you’re not concerned about ‘value’ then the food is okay.
