What is a "gastropub?" It's a British term for a public house that specializes in serving high-quality food. And that is the perfect description of Whale and Ale. The Victorian Oak panels, the elegant brass fittings, and the overall ambiance will make you feel like you have truly crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
Our menu boasts pub fares such as our extremely popular fish & chips and shepherd's pie. We are proud of our steaks, prime rib, beef wellington, and lamb chops. We also serve great seafood fares such as sea bass. Wash down your meal with a draft of some of the best imported beers from the British Isles as well as other international and domestic selections.

on Citysearch Jan 28, 2007Reminded me of pubs in England (although, of course, I'm not a Brit so I might not be the best judge - I did spend three months in London, though). I ordered a snakebite (half beer, half cider) and it tasted authentic. The... (more)
