Rediscover The Whaling Bar in La Jolla, blending historic charm and modern luxury. Once beloved in the La Valencia hotel, it's back after ten years, mixing its rich legacy with today's elegance. Known for its cozy atmosphere and top-notch service, it's been updated for contemporary tastes without losing its heritage essence. Executive Chef Brian Redzikowski, with a background in America's top kitchens and Iron Chef America, leads the culinary journey, offering a menu that combines classic and innovative approaches. The Whaling Bar invites both old fans and new to enjoy luxury and become part of La Jolla's ongoing story.

Waarom dit pareltjes zijn

Chef-kok: Brian Redzikowski

Van de OpenTable-redactie: La Valencia Hotel’s iconic cocktail lounge is back and better than ever, thanks to a reboot from San Diego's prolific SDCM Restaurant Group. With emerald-green banquettes, arched windows, and brass pendant lighting, the intimate space’s decor is a nod to the bar’s midcentury heyday. Led by executive chef Brian Redzikowski, the menu is equally glamorous—think lobster rolls and braised short rib baos, plus the restaurant’s original signature cocktail, the Whaler, a twist on Irish coffee.

Rude service from start to finish. Manager did comp meal once we spoke up, but after a birthday dinner was ruined by extremely rude and dismissive waiter. Birthday girl was treated poorly when asking questions about the menu. No offer to clear table, to go bags, or dessert/coffee/after dinner cocktails. Never mind they forgot her birthday then as I’m raising these issues to the manager, another server spilled drinks down the back of my leather pants. Table was also dirty when we sat down, food on booth seats, water glass was dirty. Menu is an odd combo of things and our particular waiter was not helpful with recommendations.

We have been to Kettner Exchange many times and loved the Cesar Twinkie, so great to see at the Whaling Bar. Also the Meatball and Polenta which is a favorite.
