Baleia, the latest venture from the Coda Restaurant Group, offers a refreshing departure from their Italian roots, embracing Portuguese cuisine with a focus on seafood. The menu features standout dishes such as piri piri-spiced oysters, Vinho Verde-steamed baby clams, and a whole roasted fish with ham and anchovy xo. For those preferring land-based options, the lamb shank with spicy pickles and suckling pig with crispy ears are notable. While the cocktails may not impress, the wine selection is commendable. The service, particularly from staff like Nate, is exceptional, enhancing the dining experience with insightful guidance. The restaurant's modern, vibrant decor complements the innovative yet authentic Portuguese-inspired dishes, though some may find the prices steep for the overall experience.
