Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. I found the menu to be a bit limiting, but it was a nice vibe for a casual birthday dinner. The one thing I hated, however, was the house dirty martini...worst thing I've ever tasted. As someone who loves a good dirty martini, this was awful. The house brine sounded interesting, but what was delivered tasted like cheese in a glass...stick to another cocktail or a wine to be safe.
The Whelk continues to be a delight. New menu items are even better than before, even the home made brine for dirty martinis is incredible. Innovation at its highest to date, I'm making a weekly reservation because it's just that good.
I've always loved The Whelk, so was happy to see it was now offering brunch. Really interesting, creative menu and everything we ordered was delicious - fresh, perfectly cooked and presented. Highly recommend!
