After the show, it can be difficult to decide on a favorite. Were the Flying Wallendas better than the juggler? Were either better than the silk-strap aerial artist? And how about the human cannonball! One goes through the same impossible exercise at the Whaling Station. The beef is either American Wagyu or prime, so from the filet to the porterhouse, it’s all remarkable. They even specialize in classic Beef Wellington and prime rib. What makes the restaurant stand apart is that their sideshows – prime rib egg rolls, chopped steak – are prepared with the same quality meats. There is no skimping. Of course, there is more to the steakhouse: seafood, pasta, salads and more. That’s why Whaling Station has been a destination for more than 50 years.
