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!

We had a fantastic experience at Baleen Kitchen in Redondo Beach! The ambiance was lovely with a view of the marina as well as the ‘Super Friends Sing-Along’, which added a fun touch. The special of the day, a short rib ossobuco by Chef Robbie, was absolutely delicious, and the prime rib steak with chimichurri sauce might be best chimichurri I’ve ever had(the steak was very on point). One small suggestion: the specials were given on a printout instead of being explained by the waiter like I’ve experienced in a lot of restaurants, so I almost missed out on it. Be sure to ask about them. I’m glad I tried it because it was phenomenal! Overall, a great dining experience. We enjoyed it w/ the fam and I saw what appeared to be quite a few folks on date night.

Absolutely nothing gluten free on the lunch menu. Not even an offer to adapt anything. Very poor.

Great place for breakfast. Birra Benedict must try (weekends only) and love their coffee. Great plus - they have a marina discount for people who own boats.

You would think with where this is located that the service level would match the atmosphere and food quality… but the portions don’t come close to what they wish to charge, and the servers could care less about getting things to you in a timely fashion. The resort should prioritize revamping this concept, but they seem too content assuming the view of the water will please the guests more.
Drinks are good. All else stands out in a bad way.

The eggs benedict (all variations) are delicious! The staff are friendly. You also get a beautiful view of the marina. What more can you ask for?

The atmosphere is very nice. The staff was really top notch. I thought the food was good overall but the pastries were undercooked and doughy. The crab cake eggs Benedict was good and my sister really enjoyed the burrito.

Very good food in a fabulous location overlooking Redondo's marina.

The cioppino was my first foray into local seafood. What a wonderful introduction! The scallops were buttery, some of the fish just melted in my mouth, and the broth made everything worth trying. I'd eat anything in that tomato-saffron broth. The swordfish steak was also a hit - perfectly cooked with a great texture. Our service was spectacular; we felt very welcomed and taken care of. I highly recommend the Dark Horse cocktail.
