“My filet mignon was tender, cooked to perfection and unsurpassed in flavor!”
“The best ribeye I’ve ever had! Flavorful, juicy and delicious!”
“The char on the steak was on point! Crispy, yet juicy; it was the PERFECT medium rare!”
Nowhere else on the Internet’s food-review gauntlet do you encounter as many exclamation points as you do in the reviews of the Whaling Station. And the longtime Cannery Row spot isn’t a one-trick pony—they do salads, appetizers, wine and cocktails well too. But there is a focus: From filet mignon, cut top sirloin and bone-in rib-eye to New York strip, porterhouse and dry-aged natural rib-eye, it’s a true beef Shangri La.
