The Whaling Company Of Williamsburg - A Review

Please note menu offerings and prices may vary.

Dining at this restaurant is indeed a special occasion. As a continuation of our honeymoon and to celebrate my wife’s birthday, our parents took us to The Whaling Company.

We could not have asked for a more pleasant dining experience. The service was excellent and the seafood even better. The Shrimp Scampi Linguini had lots of jumbo shrimp sauteed in butter, garlic, tomatoes, parsley, Chablis wine, and lemon juice atop a bed of fresh linguini. I chose the Whaling Company Seafood Skillet, a sumptuous combination of scallops, backfin crab meat, shrimp, whole clams, and fresh fish baked in Chablis wine butter served on a bed of spicy paella rice. Very unique and original, and quite tasty. My father opted for the Whiskey Peppercorn Steak, which we all drooled over when it arrived. This flame broiled Filet Mignon came lightly coated with cracked peppercorns and a whiskey peppercorn sauce — it was delicious.

If you’re really hungry, the appetizers are equally as good. I recommend the Cheasapeake Bay Crab Cakes and the Hot ‘n Spicy Shrimp.

The Whaling Co. also offers a number of fresh fish selections that vary daily and seasonally. Choices available during our visit included Flounder, Tuna, Rainbow Trout, Boby Coho, Shark, Sea Bass, Red Snapper, Tilapia, and Backfin Crabmeat. A very accomodating kitchen can prepare your selection in a variety of ways — just ask your server.

The Whaling Company is located at 494 McLaws Circle, a quarter-mile west of Busch Gardens Williamsburg. For directions, information, and reservations, call (804) 229-0275. Banquet facilities are also available. Entrees range in price from $12.95 to $16.95, some depending on Market Price.
