The service was terrific and the food exceptional. And of course the beach view and sunset was gorgeous! A perfect night for our birthday celebration.

Baleen is everything you want in a coastal dining experience—and then some. The setting is stunning, the vibe effortlessly upscale yet relaxed, and the food is flat-out exceptional. Every dish is beautifully presented and packed with flavor, from impeccably fresh seafood to expertly balanced sauces that make you slow down and savor every bite.

What truly elevates Baleen from great to unforgettable, though, is the service. Christopher and Rob are hands-down the best waiters you could ask for—attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely warm. Their recommendations were spot-on, their timing flawless, and they made the entire evening feel special rather than transactional.

Had to rate everything a 1 since we did not get seated by 7:40pm, even though we had a 7pm reservation. So we got frustrated and left. The manager on duty March 19th 2026 was the most condescending, insulting person who kept repeating the same fallback line to us even after I asked him to stop speaking to us. So many nice restaurants in Naples, no reason to go here.

Baleen was amazing. The food, atmosphere and the service was so good. Christopher made our dinner so special. He took pictures of our family at sunset, was so welcoming and made our last night in Naples special.

You don’t often think a hotel restaurant will be a memorable experience. But this place is different.
The food, ambiance, service, and did I mention the food? Wow. Worth a stop if you’re in Naples. We’ve had a lot of local fare but this place is by far the most memorable restaurant here.
Will certainly be back!

And Alexies (sp) was kind and patient with our two girls and professional throughout, prompt as well. Thanks to the entire team!

We had Kristina, who is originally from Serbia, as our server. She was beyond fabulous! Our cocktails and food were delicious. The atmosphere was sophisticated, yet relaxed. This is the best experience we have ever had at Baleen! I hope that management will recognize and reward Kristina for her outstanding service. We will return soon again!
