The Whale in Logan Square opened about a month ago and we recently went to check it out. We were very impressed by the lavish decor and overall appearance of the restaurant. The owner Ryan Marks who also owns The Vig said the theme for The Whale was an ode to mid century gamblers and glamor and we think they conveyed that very well! The drinks were great and we were happily surprised by the food as well. Some of our favorite dishes were the lobster wonton tacos, the Sicilian crab cakes, the southern fried chicken sandwich and the carrot cake. The Whale is located at 2427 N. Milwaukee and doesn’t currently take reservations but it’s a big restaurant seats about 200 people so you shouldn’t expect much of a wait!
