We enjoyed our meals at Baleen Kitchen while on vacation. Beautiful dining room with a great view of the marina. The hot crab dip was delicious! I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and it was fantastic! My husband ordered the scallop entree. While he really loved it, he thought $39 for just three scallops was too high a price. He was expecting at least five. The server was wonderful and sent over a molten lava cake to celebrate my husband's birthday. Overall a great experience! We'd definitely come back if in the area again.

Food and lunch service was great-Jonathan rocked. And so has Kaylan. . Had an issue at dinner but Mark the Manager was phenomenal in handling the situation. I've been in the industry so I know phenomenal and exceptional. The staff here are so friendly and welcoming to me and my boy, Cooper. If you're around the area, I definitely recomend stopping in for the ambiance and the food.

After 6 months ...I got outta my feelings...and decided the food and ambiance was too friggen good to let a bad employee wreck it for us forever. Lo and behold that employee is gone and between the new GM , new Manager and the kick-ass Executive Chef (who I just got to meet today) well let's just say ...we are back at enjoying the incredible fresh food and beautiful view in a regular basis. This is a bright , happy , escape from the hustle and bustle ...and truly feels like a staycation once u arrive. I'm truly grateful

Baleen is a must-visit hotspot that deserves to be on everyone's radar. This waterside restaurant offers a stunning view of the marina that will truly take your breath away. Our experience began with some delicious appetizers during happy hour where the prices were reasonable, and the food was fantastic. We enjoyed some drinks before our main courses. The staff provided exceptional service. The atmosphere exudes a cozy, warm, and inviting charm. Whether it's a romantic date night, a family dinner, or a fun outing with friends, this place is perfect for any occasion.

Hi!! Been trying their dish only in the room service, so we wanted to give a try for Mother's Day dinner! Cocktails were decent enough to get welcome, and the stater! - Burrata - savory fresh burrata on top of their savory mousse with toasted pistachios!!! Clean taste and simple and the mousse was epically matching with grilled baguettes !!!! Miso glazed black cod was exuberant with umami and little hint of Chinese culinary was wonderful. Didn't forget to put some texture of crisp. Main event Cioppino! Hmm perfect balance of dancing king prawns Giant scallops and other sea shells over tomato soup! We love this Chinese master chef's work, we can feel his various experiences of culinary and expressed them so well on the plates! Next time will review the rib eye steaks from this restaurant! The vibe was too casual and the long strip of the restaurant set up was quite annoying, other than that everything was perfect like their hotel!! Found a hidden gem in SouthBay

This Mother's Day, our family decided to celebrate at BaleenKitchen in Redondo Beach a day early, a decision heartily endorsed by our children for their beloved mom and grandma. Nestled in the marina, just a stone's throw from the Portofino Hotel, BaleenKitchen stands as one of the most stylish waterside dining spots in Los Angeles. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted by breathtaking views, framed perfectly by the expansive windows lining the restaurant. It was as if each window was a canvas, showcasing the vibrant marina life in all its glory. Our brunch was a culinary journey of personal favorites. My wife savored her classic egg benedict, while I indulged in the Cali Burrito. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement; the burrito was a delightful ensemble of succulent shrimp, enveloped in a rich, flavorful sauce, and complemented by a medley of fillings that left my taste buds dancing. The service mirrored the quality of our meal--attentive, efficient, and unobtrusively prompt. As for the value, it was nothing short of impressive, especially considering the prime location. My shrimp-laden burrito was a steal at under $20. But the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the view. Our table offered us a front-row seat to the serene harbor, a vista so enchanting it could easily grace the pages of a travel magazine. It was the perfect backdrop for our special celebration. In summary, BaleenKitchen is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination that offers an experience as memorable as the occasion it honors. Whether you're marking a milestone or simply in search of a meal with a view, BaleenKitchen is a choice that will not disappoint.

Came here for a wedding party as well as for brunch the next day and loved the food here. They did Buffet style for the wedding party and my favorite was the tomato soup. The steak and fish were alright, I much preferred the sides over anything else. The workers were nice and filled our wine glasses up. Brunch was amazing. The view overlooked the marina and I ordered the eggs Benedict which was massive and did not disappoint. The price was fair for the portion. It came with a little side salad, tons of crispy potatoes and the eggs Benedict which were cooked perfectly and the sauce was incredible. Overall loved this place for all meals. Beautiful location too.

Gorgeous fine dining and delicious food with excellent service. It's a nice place for a celebratory meal like a bday or anniversary, but also appropriate for just an elegant low key dinner. There's a Beautiful dining room upstairs for an elegant dinner, plus an area downstairs that overlooks the marina that's great for breakfast. I've had both dinner and breakfast here, plus gotten room service from Baleen and it's always a great experience. Portions are good for the price, and the food is delicious, fresh and chef crafted, providing a great value.
