Frommer's Review

This attractive waterfront eatery is located right in the middle of Mission Bay at the Paradise Point Resort. With its lush bayfront view, it's easy to miss the design details indoors -- from a monkey motif that includes simians hanging off chandeliers to specialized serving platters for many of Baleen's artistically arranged dishes. Ocean fare takes precedence, and local fish and shellfish are featured in a chef's tasting menu. There's also classic surf and turf or a selection of simply wood-roasted meats and seafood. Note: This is a family-oriented resort, so knee-high types may be sharing the space; a children's menu goes beyond the usual burgers and fries option and includes items like shrimp scampi and petit filet.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
