Baleen kitchen is a very good place for brunch. The pancakes are very soft and have orange zest in for a very unique and delicious flavor. The pancakes come with blueberries, butter and maple syrup. Alex's breakfast burrito is also very good with the sour cream on the side. It has a very nice combination of egg, potatoes and cheese with sour cream and guacamole. Heuvo Redondos are also extremely flavorful and by far the best thing I have ever eaten. Overall, this restaurant is a very nice, family friendly place to eat.

The food was good, and the gentleman at reception was genuinely nice. But we had one of the worst service experiences we’ve ever had because of a female server (with neck tattoo).
She delayed our order for over an hour and spoke to us with obvious irritation the entire time. When my wife calmly mentioned that our order was taking a long time and asked whether there might have been a mistake, the server responded in a loud, angry tone insisting there was “no mistake.” Meanwhile, multiple tables who arrived after us were served before us, including some receiving the exact dishes we ordered.
Good food does not make up for being treated with anger and disrespect. Completely unacceptable service.

First hats off to Jazlynn she took to ask the chef if he would make the Sea Bass the original way they use to. She came back and the chef said okay. Customer Service at an all time high. This is how you keep a customer happy. I wasn’t interested in the new version. Jazlynn said it would take 35 mins it didn’t even take that long to get this wonderful tasty meal. I could have just went to heaven this meal was amazing. To the owner you have an amazing staff. Happy and ready to keep us the customer satisfied and happy as a kid on Christmas Morning. Before I go I told Jazlynn if the chef couldn’t make it the original way. That I wouldn’t want the sea bass so again hats off to Jazlynn and the amazing chef on staff tonight 12-17-2025 at around 6ish. Merry Christmas. Thanks for making my dream come true cook slightly crispy and moist what a combo.

We continually try to support this local place as the Marina is such a nice area. Staff is vastly unknowledgeable on their wines. There's a noticeable absence of staff behind the bar at times. Few food items we've had have always been great. There's no real vibe even when having live music.

The atmosphere was really nice and the service was very attentive. The food was ill conceived and served without much thought. I'll probably come back if I'm invited by friends.

Had a 16 people brunch arranged with dockside view. Great dockside restaurant for large group brunches. Food was great. Bloody Mary’s were beyond excellence. Service was a bit slow but overall an excellent experience.

Great spot for happy hour! The $8 burger was solid, but the drinks and marina view really made the night. Huge shoutout to Maria—friendly, attentive, and the made the night even better.

My friend and I stumbled across BALEEN kitchen on a Sunday morning. After looking through the menu, and talking with Barbie, the hostess we definitely wanted to relax and enjoy a meal after our walk along the waterfront.
We were seated in a beautiful blue velvet tufted booth ( I would recommend making reservations for this booth). Alex was our server who has a great personality with a smile!
I ordered the NOBLE CHOPPED SALAD, which was delicious, but it wasn't chopped. I think my salad was missing the roasted beets, but I didn't mention it, because it wad delicious and beautifully presented. My friend ordered the EGG TOAST and added cherry tomatoes. She enjoyed it.
Weekends there is endless mimosas, but I am trying to be healthy so I opted for ice tea.
The staff here are all very friendly and attentive. The decor reminded me of Cape Cod, casual elegance. I felt like I was on vacation. I will definitely return here again! What an oasis! The views of the boats on the Marina was so nice. If you want to be closer to the Marina, downstairs there is outside seating.
Thank you Barbie and Alex for the great service!
