Exquisite 'British' Interior Restaurant 6/3/2004

by wscarter at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

Outside and inside The Whale & Ale, you'll discover the special ambiance of this lovely place. The original owner (retired) chose this exterior and interior very carefully with segments of it shipped from Britain. A friend from Wales disclaimed to me that it looked like an 'english country house'. Yet, from the 2nd level you get a commanding view and the feeling of being in a Castle like the White Tower of London. A grand piano and attending player play a variety of tunes on certain nights. The current owner (Andrew) has brought the 'Old World' charm and blended it well with American tastes. Unlike stiff upper lip Brits, Andrew is outgoing and frequently checks and services his guests. His beer, wine and spirits selection is top notch along with his Bill of Fare. I particularly like the Beef Wellington- you can't get it better in London. Pros: Wonderful Decor, Great Meat Menu, Great House Salad Cons: , No Fish &Chips to go more

Whalte & Ale Resturant 6/3/2004

Andrew, the owner and proprieter has created a true English Pub atmosphere. He personally welcomes guests, stops to chat at the tables and makes everyone feel just as if they were dining in their small town English pub. The food is superb, the wait staff awesome and the prices very reasonable. Andrew is also actively involved in the downtown San Pedro improvement project. Pros: Good Value, Quaint Area, Authentic British Pub more

Great holiday deals 12/7/2003

by rschaffner at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

Whale and Ale has fixed price holiday meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas which are an amazing value. For $27.50, you get an appetizer or salad, the main entree, including standards like roast turkey, prime rib, beef Wellington, or salmon, and dessert-try either the trifle or the sticky toffee pudding. It's never terribly crowded, and the staff are terrific. Andrew (the owner) and his staff are always very attentive. more

Gourmet food - Pub prices 12/5/2003

by thomasson11 at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

The Whale and Ale offers a truely unique dining experience. The food is delicious, and there is something for every taste, all prepared in the continental style by their master chef. If you care about presentation, it is there as well. The owner, Andrew, knows his Scotch, so if you want to try some of the exotic single-malts he can give you chapter and verse on the wide range of lables he stocks. Finally, on a weekend night there is great music and a wonderful sense of a shared secret - we all belong to an exclusive club of those in the know about the Whale and Ale, an upscale British pub transplanted smack into the middle of San Pedro. Once you try it you;ll no doubt be back again and again. Pros: Inexpensive, Great food, Great atmosphere Cons: Parking can be tough more

Whale & Ale 12/5/2003

by bobjones35 at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

We have been customers for years and always enjoy the Whale and Ale. It's especially great when you get a group together and go on a Friday or Saturday night when the piano player is there. The prime rib with horseradish is simply great. Another favorite is the steak and mushroom pie. Have that along with the Whale and Ale Pale Ale and it's a treat. Pros: service, value, entertainment more

ONE OF THE BEST 7/13/2003

by jrgirard at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

My husband and I went here last night for the 4 course wine dinner. We both agreed it was one of the finest dining experiences we have had in a long time. The service was fast, friendly and anticipated our needs before we had to ask. The food was incredible. It was very relaxing and there was someone playing the piano and singing while we were there. They did a fantastic job pairing the wine & ale with each course and were very generous refilling our glasses. Excellent value, and we cant wait to go back. Pros: SERVICE!!!, FOOD, VALUE more

Just like England! 8/23/2002

by sunsoul3 at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

This place has terrific ambience! It's a few blocks up from the harbor, and has the look and feel of an English pub as well as terrific bistro style restaurant. The owner and his chef and crew are very gracious. I highly recommend going for brunch, or to hear live music at night. This one's a keeper and well worth the quick trip to San Pedro! Pros: great food, great service, brunch more
