"Went for my gf's birthday and it didn't disappoint. Food was pricey but great and portions were plenty. Thirteen dollar cocktails were a bit small and weak, but the wine list was solid. Felt like I was on vacation a 5 minute cab ride from home."

"Great Easter brunch, loved the food and the Bloody Mary Bar was a great idea. Absolutely beautiful views and very interesting and different menu. The food was fabulous we really loved the Sage Fried Chicken and Sweet Potato waffles, also the Cheese Tray appetizer was amazing."

"The food was adequate at best and so expensive for what we were served. We waited for quite some time for service and finally had to ask to be waited on. If the restaurant had been busy I would have understood. However this was not the case."

"We had an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Our table was inside right near a fireplace with gorgeous bay views. The filet minon and lobster tails were cooked perfectly and the champagne cocktail was a unique and delicous compliment. The service was impeccable and our server, Valerie, was charming. The menu choices were really vast with exciting combinations. I would recommend Baleen to anyone looking to celebrate a memorable occasion or even just a special happy hour."
