Changes at Baleen
The new chef at Baleen, at the Grove Isle Hotel and Spa, is Chef Jesse Souza. Originally from New England, Chef Souza came to Miami after six years at the Claremont Resort and Spa in Berkeley CA.Chef Souza’s menu at Baleen is focused on seafood, an appropriate choice for a waterside restaurant.
Lunchtime it's usually not very crowded, which is a good thing, or bad thing, depending on how you look at it, since service is usually lacking at that time of day. But if you like quite, slow and relaxed lunches, this is the place. Prepare to wait to be seated, to be served and to get your car from valet when ready to leave. Prepare to overpay for lunch and the lack of service, too.
At night, the place comes alive and you get what you pay for. So if you like incredible views, good food, good service and lots of people, dinner would be the best time to go.

I was very dissapointed with our meal at Baleen. My husband had some business colleagues from Europe visiting and I suggested Baleen for dinner. I tagged along for that meal. The ambience was nice but the food disappointing and the wait staff was just totally focused on pouring as much sparkling water as they could. While the restaurant is known for seafood and such, two in the party were vegetarian. We asked that they be accomodated and all the chef could come up with was steamed veggies. Steamed veggies are a rather lame and some what 70's approach to vegetarianism. Oh well. I would need some convincing to go back there again.
don't like their gift cerficate policy. They don't give change and they won't allow it to go toward the tip. So if you have a $200.00 gift certificate and only spend $150.00, say bye bye to the other $50.00.
Dear anonymous of gift certificate-- all you have to do is order the difference and take it home in a doggie bag
