Sign of the Whale - Stamford, Connecticut

I went to brunch with my girls on Sunday. It was absolutely amazing. Our server, Shannon was an absolute rockstar. She was super busy but kept on top of all of her tables. We never felt neglected or cheated with our bottomless mimosas. I don’t think we saw the bottom of our glasses. She even had another amazing server Ashton keep an eye on as the afternoon got busier and busier. The food and drinks were amazing. And I can’t say enough about Shannon and Ashton keeping us full and the vibes going. Also Radd came over and made sure we were being treated well. And of course Randy the elf kept the party going handing out the shots. Thank you all for the best brunch I’ve had in a long time!!

Ashton was an amazing server who was assigned to a table for fun and crazy ladies. He was very attentive, patient, and great ovet all. The atmosphere is more like a club after a specific time which is great after a good meal and have a great time afterward.

Holiday decor is up! Festive atmosphere with lovely waitstaff. Got the brunch hangover hash and it was delicious. Generous portion size and filling for a good price.

We lucked out on a great parking spot in front. Our friends were able to park in a parking garage, no issues.

When we first walked in, we were greeted by a gentleman - possibly owner or restaurant manager - and informed we would be seated shortly. The decor for Christmas was gorgeous.

When seated at our booth, we placed our drink orders and then the waitress said she would be back to take our order and we never saw her again. We waited about 15-20min for a new waitress to come and say she was taking over our table and would take our order. She was ok. Wasn't sure if she was maybe newer or just nervous but she didn't really have much of a people-person personality.

The food was very delicious. Our second round of drinks were not good. I've never had an aperol spritz full of ice. I had to scoop it out the first time and then asked for the second one to have only a little bit of ice. It came full of ice, I had to scoop it out again.

We also didn't expect the upstairs to be closed - as we wanted to see the rooftop views but makes sense since it was Fall I guess that it was closed.
The music the dj was playing in the restaurant was also so loud and felt kind of strange for it to be club music during dinner (maybe that's normal here) but all the songs were censored/edited, which was also strange, lol.

Food was amazing, as mentioned, but probably won't try a visit again until the rooftop is open.

Just had an amazing brunch here this weekend! The DJ definitely was an added bonus and made it so much fun! Food was delish! Crowd was very mixed! Def may check this place out for a fun Sunday brunch!

So happy our first choice didn’t work out. We ended up going to Sign of the Whale last minute for Sunday brunch. They accommodated us with no problem. It was the first time for 3/4 of us. It was perfect. The drinks were great and the food was amazing. My friends and I are music people & the DJ did not disappoint. He was on point the whole time. The owner/ manager was very personable and attentive. The atmosphere was nice and the area is beautiful. We agreed we’d definitely go back. Looking forward to a winter dinner in the igloos and checking out the rooftop in the summer.

I recently visited Sign of the Whale and had a pleasant experience. The ambience is great, especially the nice roof seating area which offers a lovely atmosphere. However, if you decide to sit outdoors, note that you’ll be served with plastic cups and the sauces and ketchup come in plastic containers.

For starters, we ordered calamari and Brussels sprouts. The calamari was a bit chewy, but the Brussels sprouts were perfect. For the main course, we tried the Sign of the Whale burger, the four spice burger, and the peppercorn burger. They were all good, but nothing particularly special.

Service was great and the staff were attentive. Overall, it's a solid spot for a casual meal with a nice vibe.

Upon our arrival at the restaurant, we found the fire department at the door, forcing all customers onto the freezing street. Despite the inconvenience, no discount or complimentary drink was offered to the customers. The dinner came with a significant price tag, and in return, they provide vouchers for a return visit, encouraging you to spend more to avail a discount. Not Cool. Nonetheless, the food was good, and the Christmas decorations were fantastic. Unfortunately, our server seemed overwhelmed with tables, adding to the slight disappointment. The manager or owner was exceptionally pleasant, courteous, and accommodating. Additionally, the drink we ordered wasn't as described due to ingredient shortages. Street parking is available.
