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 (and a dining deck that's sublime on warm evenings), 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. Start with chilled lobster in a martini glass (but avoid sticker shock by asking the price first), a warm salad of roasted mushrooms and asparagus, or fresh oysters delivered in a small cart and shucked table-side. Then savor a selection of seafood simply grilled, wood-roasted, or sautéed with hummus crust, honey wasabi glaze, or ginger sauce. Wood-roasted meats include Roquefort-crusted filet mignon and Sonoma Farms chicken with goat cheese dumplings and forest mushroom sauté. Note: This is a family-oriented resort, so knee-high types may be sharing the space; service is pleasantly casual.

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.
