I highly recommend Baleen'kitchen in Redondo Beach, Ca the atmosphere is great the food is excellent and our waiter Tony was just the best of the best he was attentive courteous polite with a great smile and personality he made our dining experience memorable and enjoyable I'm going to let all my friends know about this wonderful new dining experience it was my birthday and he made it special lots of laughs great time thanks and bravo to Tony his kindness beems bright

I would have loved to give this place 4.5 stars from the moment I walked in. But the being as wonderful as is was the kitchen was extremely slow getting food pushed out. This wasn't a busy night either. Once my table was served the food was very delicious, just wish it were about 15 minutes quicker. Otherwise nice place I my return post Covid to see if this was just an off night.

I grew up in PV... My family and I have been coming to Portofino Inn since I was a teenager. We drive out now from Rancho Cucamonga to walk the beach and enjoy special moments at Baleen Kitchen. I'm a chef I can tell the appreciate the effort it takes to create (great food) serve (great service) with a mask on... All while maintaining great energy and spirit. Well done. Look at the pic of the FIRE EGGS BENEDICT I took before polishing off. The egg yolk was actually orange.

The food is great but don’t try to celebrate a birthday there because they just bring out a candle on a plate…

Why was there only one bartender and one server working 15 tables tonight?! People weren’t getting their drinks (45 min for me! or their food (eventually we decided we would just go home and do takeout . What in the world happened! Management you need to do something. People were leaving screaming. I hate posting bad reviews because I work in the restaurant business but I have never seen anything like this. Either hire more staff or seat less people. So embarrassed bringing out of town friends here! Ahh!
