A Seafood and Chop House

Our story

or, The Whale is harbored next to the Distrikt Hotel in the historic Salvation Army building with it's deep-seated iron city roots and ornate 1940's character. The newly invigorated gymnasium is the home to or, The Whale, where you'll find a refurbished second level loft track for catwalk seating and an upstairs bar. 

Guests will find a wood-fired hearth, a menu speckled with French inspiration, a butcher room on the premise and an oyster program that will truly delight. 

Travel down to the main dining area that features an open kitchen, a window into the butcher room and a wine cellar that doubles as a private dining space.

We offer a worldly wine program, a well curated list of local craft beers, and hand-crafted cocktails.
