The menu, by executive chef Charles Collins, features inventive takes on seafood including a "Taco Bar," hence the title "Whale". However, it also includes a wide selection of meat presentations, or "Iron".
With its Asbury Park Boardwalk location, outdoor ocean view dining is a strong feature of the Iron Whale. Indoors features an open kitchen, a fireplace, and a private meeting or party room. The Iron Whale is another exciting addition to the already resurgent Asbury Park scene and is open seven days a week for brunch, lunch and dinner year-round.

Tim McLoone and his investment group purchased the Rum Runner on New Year's Eve in 1986 and reopened it the following October as "McLoone's Rum Runner". It was immediately known for its spectacular views, terrific cuisine, and live music. Twenty-Five years later Superstorm Sandy devastated not only the Rum Runner but also a significant portion of Sea Bright.
The McLoones decided to rebuild and were the first to do so in the boro. It took over three years to complete the new building but the results are even more spectacular than the original. Aside from its main waterview dining room it also features "South", an indoor-outdoor room with moveable doors which creates an airy ambiance along with "upscale/casual" dining.
Another feature is the "Loft" on the second floor which is ideal for private parties and, at a height of over thirty feet, has even more incredible views of both the Shrewsbury River and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
Of course, it would not be a McLoone venture without live music and there is a brand new piano bar located next to a roaring fireplace.
