Outside and inside The Whale & Ale, you'll discover the special ambiance of this lovely place. The original owner (retired) chose this exterior and interior very carefully with segments of it shipped from Britain. A friend from Wales disclaimed to me that it looked like an 'english country house'. Yet, from the 2nd level you get a commanding view and the feeling of being in a Castle like the White Tower of London.
A grand piano and attending player play a variety of tunes on certain nights. The current owner (Andrew) has brought the 'Old World' charm and blended it well with American tastes.
Unlike stiff upper lip Brits, Andrew is outgoing and frequently checks and services his guests. His beer, wine and spirits selection is top notch along with his Bill of Fare. I particularly like the Beef Wellington- you can't get it better in London.
Pros: Wonderful Decor, Great Meat Menu, Great House Salad
Cons: , No Fish &Chips to go
