We went for happy hour, which runs every day from 5 to 7, and ended up staying for dinner with no regrets. The spicy tuna taco was unforgettable—extremely fresh and some of the best quality tuna I’ve had. The chicken wings (well done) and truffle fries were phenomenal, and the cocktails were excellent. For dinner, the shrimp pasta was simple yet flavorful—no complaints at all.
Special shoutout to Felix, the manager, and Daniel, our waiter—they were phenomenal, along with the rest of the staff, making the experience even better. Overall, BALEEN Kitchen is a must-visit for great food, amazing happy hour specials, and beautiful ocean views.
Service definitely not the issue. We had the same waiter both times and he is amazing. Issue must be management and chef. The menu has really changed with less choices and less quality.
Prices went through the roof. We were there for 5 nights and picked a fine dining option every evening. Baleen was our least favorite and most expensive this trip.
It’s fairly difficult to find. It’s inside Sole Miami resort.
Dined there for breakfast. Met Kenny and another female employee (my apologies, I forgot her name) both gave good service. Being on a empty stomach, I ordered Eggs Benedict with cranberry juice. Sadly it wasn’t good, the English muffins were not fully toasted. And the Poached Eggs needed one more minute. You have a good looking establishment, but please pay more attention to detail when it comes to food. I had dine next door at Vue Bristo+Terrace Bar. You can read my updated review with photos just in case. This visit dedicated to my then German American ex girlfriend. Cue in the song “The Glitch Mob – We Can Make The World Stop.” ✌️
We did have a little trouble finding it since we weren’t staying at the hotel and parked down the street, but other than that, would recommend. If nothing else, go grab a slice of their key lime pie!
I called letting the staff know I will arrive late. They helped me out, gratitude you have my thanks. Daniel told me of the specials of the night. However I ordered Steak Frites and Key Lime pie. Good background music and atmosphere too. Love the American Flag logo over the bar, its awesome.

My wife and I went to Baleen Kitchen for Valentine’s Day and it was a complete disaster — especially considering we drove over an hour to get there.
The day before, I tried to make a reservation online and it didn’t work. I called, spoke with a young woman, gave her my information and email, and she confirmed a 9:00 PM reservation.
We arrived at 8:45 PM and the hostess (wearing glasses) told us there was no reservation under my name. There was no real apology and no accountability — she simply said it didn’t exist in the system. She also told us there were no tables available inside, even though we could clearly see several empty ones. The only option offered was to sit outside.
It was windy and cold outside (the restaurant is on the beach inside a resort), which made the experience uncomfortable. A Valentine’s dinner should have atmosphere — and there was none.
The waitress made the interaction a bit awkward from the start. We ordered a gin and a margarita; the drinks were fine, but nothing extraordinary.
The menu was extremely limited. On top of that, they offered a special Valentine’s menu for $150 per person, which felt excessive for what was included. We ended up going inside and sitting at the bar. We ordered a basic tomato and mozzarella pizza, completely average and not memorable at all.
The worst part was that they automatically added a 20% gratuity, despite the poor service and the reservation issue.
The only positive things we can mention were the valet parking, which is complimentary if you dine at the restaurant, and the bartender, who was very sweet and helpful. That was the best part of the entire experience.
Between the lost reservation, lack of professionalism, limited menu, mandatory gratuity, and total lack of atmosphere, it was a huge disappointment — especially for a special occasion.
Management seriously needs to improve. For the price and location, the experience should be much better.
We will not be returning.
