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 stayed at the Portofino hotel for a week on business travel, and got vouchers to eat here for breakfast everyday. This was such a bright way to start my days, I would get the American Breakfast, which comes with eggs, toast, potatoes, and a choice of meat. I’d also like to give my compliments to the staff. They were …

We visited the Baleen Kitchen for the first time in August and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I’m trying to think of excuses to go back to LA so I can visit this restaurant again. Compliments to Chef Robbie!

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 …

The Baleen Kitchen is a hidden gem. Tucked away in the King Harbor Marina near The Portofino Hotel this iconic restaurant is a definite treat. While it is a little off the beaten path, it’s definitely worth the trip. My wife and I have stayed at the Portofino Hotel on multiple occasions and this is always our go to breakfast …
