"We have had mixed experiences at the Whale's Rib tavern, some very good but last night was disappointing. My wife had a cod dish and I had Wagyu steak. The cod was lukewarm and the accompanying potatoes were undercooked. My steak, which I ordered medium, was barely rare. On the plus side the sauces were quite good, and the server quite personable. Perhaps it had something to do with being at the end of the season, but these mistakes are characteristic of a kitchen that does not have its act together. Again, we have had good food in the past at the Inn, but this meal was not up to standards."

Over priced for what you get. Lobster was advertised as a whole lobster but certainly wasn’t. Food was cold.

We had a fantastic dinner! Some unusual spices and combinations of flavors- a real plus. We highly recommend Whale’s Rib Tavern on Deer Isle, Maine.

This is a great restaurant to go to if you aren't hungry. We had a 5:30 reservation, but we arrived about 20 minutes early. We were told that we couldn't...

My scallop dish was beyond disappointing. Paying $36.00 for four scallops is beyond belief. There was latterly nothing else of substance on the plate. I’m sorry that what formerly was a wonderful place to have dinner has sunk so low. View menu

We dined on a Thursday evening and the food (delicious) and service (friendly and courteous) were wonderful. We had the mussels and fennel/apple salad as starters. My husband had the seafood stew, slightly spicy, which he enjoyed. I had the lobster “pot pie”. Both the maple walnut ice cream sundae with caramelized popcorn and the spiced apple cake with pumpkin walnut ice cream were perfect endings to our great meal! We look forward to returning on our next trip to Deer Isle area and Pilgrim’s Inn!

We decided to dine at the Whale Room during our stay at the Pilgrim’s Inn, as we were excited to try a restaurant with a Michelin chef. The dining room at the Pilgrim’s Inn was cozy and had a great atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentive. However, we were disappointed with the food. One of our dishes was a large piece of cod smothered in a bland sauce, while the other dish was four small scallops with bits of apple. The meal did not come with any bread, and we were so unsatisfied with the food that we chose not to order dessert.
