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.

Pourquoi ce sont des Perles rares

Chef de cuisine : Brian Redzikowski

D'après les éditeur·rices d'OpenTable : 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.

The Whaling Bar is an excellent place to drink, not dinner. I didn't know that when I met a friend for dinner. I had been to the old Whaling Bar, which served excellent food. The menu is restricted, and the food is expensive. We had an excellent server who helped us determine a good meal. The bar was noisy.

Our waiter was not pleasant. George. The ambiance is half Marriott bar and 1/2 trying to bring back the old whaling bar. The lighting is too bright. The ambiance is missing the mark.

Some of the tables for two inside aren't great - across from the service station - so very loud. The ricotta cheese spread was bland/uninspired. My date said her espresso martini was overly sweet, though my cocktail was perfect. Our server was nice enough but not very attentive. It was kind of an average experience and not worth the prices.

Top service and experience by Griffin. From the start to finish, the whole dining experience was phenomenal. We enjoyed the table by the window, mocktails and a green Monster. The specials of the day were displayed on a small card outside of the menu and we enjoyed a few from that selection. We also ordered the Twinkie Caesar salad. Yum. Great suggestion from the server. Don’t miss out on the Hamburger dessert too. Favorite dishes were the duck meatballs and the swarma bao.

Limited wine selection and they were out of the wine by the bottle we selected. We ended up leaving.

We have always been fans of Kettner exchange (KEX) in little Italy, we now live in the La Jolla area, so it’s nice to have this so close! We love the decor inside, but also enjoy sitting outside and watching people walk by. Our perfect meal starts with the liver and onions – pate then we get the whipped Burrata and grilled focaccia and finish with the celery, date and walnut salad -so good! The perfect meal !
