Discover the best restaurantof american in Clonakilty

18/08/2026: I had been so looking forward to trying your restaurant the next time I was in Clonakilty which happened to be the 7/8/26. I was stood waiting at the door for a few mins with my husband and sister, as nobody would serve me until a short haired blonde lady eventually appeared, asked what she could do for me and I asked "Could we have a table for 3 people? All she replied with was NO. I was a bit taken aback by her short response, I understand that inside was probably booked up with reservations, so I asked "can we sit outside? She replied with "I suppose... but you will be waiting awhile for your food as we prioritise the people inside first." I was so shocked by this, as there were diners outside already eating and there were empty tables BOTH inside and outside. The whole interaction left me so upset and angry. I will never dine at the Whale's Tail because of this interaction. I know ye probably don't care about loosing our custom but how many other people have been put off or will be put off because of this lady.
