A 2013 James Beard finalist for Best New Restaurant, the Whale Wins is the latest venture from chef Renee Erickson of the (similarly) whimsically named Walrus and the Carpenter. Located in a converted warehouse space, the restaurant's interiors were designed by Heliotrope Architects and feature an airy, casual feel. (Oh, and about the name: Erickson was inspired by a painting by American folk artist Mary Maguire depicting a whaling scene.)
