The Whale & Ale is the only Authentic British Restaurant and Pub in the South LA area; entirely oak-paneled, it has a long oak bar with brass fittings, a balcony overlooking the piano lounge, a fireplace and a grand piano in the corner. It can be found in the fun area of San Pedro (the business/dining/art gallery district), and the menu had grown to include many new dishes like Beef Wellington in Périgourdine Sauce, Rosemary/Dijon baked rack of lamb, The Petrale Sole, Salmon and Swordfish. When you add to the occasion a skilled mixer of Martinis, Manhattans, Old Fashions and the like, or fourteen imported rare Ales on tap, then you have a great lunch or dinner out. Live entertainment on Friday Nights, ample parking and all major credit cards accepted. See www.whaleandale.com for menu and entertainment listings.
