The Whale Wins

We were excited to visit The Whale Wins after hearing great things. The atmosphere was lovely, the service attentive, and the food clearly above average. That said, the pricing, portion sizes, and added 22% charge made the overall experience feel less satisfying. We shared a variety of dishes: Matiz sardines on sourdough toast, lettuces with lemon juice, Parisienne gnocchi, Hama Hama clams, Alaskan halibut, and zucchini bread. The standouts were the gnocchi, sardine toast, and zucchini bread. The gnocchi had a perfect sear and texture, and was beautifully presented. The zucchini bread was mo

What a treat! The Whale is such a gem. The salmon pâté and butter lettuce salad were excellent starters, and the sardine toast is an absolute must. The roasted chicken was incredible and perfect for sharing with friends. We finished with a slice of their decadent zucchini bread—highly recommend.

I have no idea how they were able to cook the chi

Wonderful dining experience at The Whale Wins! Very similar ambiance and experience to The Walrus and Carpenter in Ballard, without the oysters. We loved the family style ordering so that we could try several things on the menu that were all fantastic and carefully crafted. Our server coursed our picks out for us and was very attentive and kind, even going out of her way to make our anniversary dinner special. Cocktails were all a hit, so much so that I had to try all four that they had on their menu, and the servers champagne choice was delicious as well. They even have a little storefront ri

I loved the ambience and decor of this spot on Stoneway. I popped in for brunch and picked up an egg sandwich with bacon and Rachel's Ginger Beer. The latter is standard if you've ever had it. The egg sandwich arrived piping hot but not hot enough for the cheese to melt. It is quite a big sandwich stuffed into tiny bread. It was falling apart on me when I grabbed it, so I cut it in half to make it easier to eat. It still basically exploded in my hands with the spicy mayo. The bacon had good taste and the mayo was good. Egg was standard and only reason why it lost stars and rating is just how
