Reviews
"Great impromptu dinner. Service was outstanding, the food was great and it was a great atmosphere, being quite busy."
"We had dinner. The menu is pretty standard along with the quality of the food which was above average. The service was a mixed bag, good and nasty. The positive thing about this place is the affordable price. I had 2 mains and a desert with 2 craft beers for $99. I may come back.."
"Staff were very friendly and helpful. One of our party wanted an item from their lunch menu which had just finished but they were willing to do this for him. Wonderful atmosphere and reasonably priced."
"DELICIOUS! We ate here for dinner and it was lovely. The bar is awesome all lit up and the fireplace was great on a cooler night. The meal was great and the cocktails were super yum! We would definitely come back. Thanks so much!"
"Excellent tasting food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, will definitely go back again for dinner. Highly recommended. Visited here with my wife and daughter, we all had something different for Dinner. I had oxtail stew, it was cooked to perfection, and tasted amazing. My wife had fish of the day, which she said was delicious. My daughter had roast pork, she loved it. I visit Napier a few times a year, we will definitely be returning to The Thirsty Whale. It had an awesome menu, and the food is delicious."
