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.

    we made a last minute res for drinks and they did not disappoint. The cocktails + mocktails were 10/10 and our service was even better.

    Perfect for drinks and apps with a cozy classy ambiance. You have to get the bread here if only for the fact the butter is shaped like a cute little whale, the carrot cake bread that comes with it is perfectly sweet and savory. The kale salad is incredible and the portion size is huge, easily shareable between multiple people. We got a seasonal app which was tempura fried squash with a creamy jalapeño dipping sauce. 10/10. Love this spot!

    The Whaling Bar is a very hip spot inside the Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, and it definitely lives up to the hype. The ambiance is stylish and refined, making it a great place for a special night out. Service was solid--attentive without being overbearing. The food is served tapas-style, perfect for sharing, and every dish we tried was spot on. The Philly bread was a standout, a must-order, and the potato pesto gnocchi was perfection--pillowy, flavorful, and rich without being too heavy. The drinks were also top-tier, crafted with care and balance. It is on the pricier end, but absolutely worth it for the quality, vibe, and experience. Definitely make a reservation to secure a spot. If you're looking for an elevated dining and cocktail experience in La Jolla, this is it.

    A group of my girlfriends and I went to bingo night and had a fantastic time! The food was great. The service was as well. It was a little bit loud but overall great!
