Baleen Naples beachfront restaurant inside LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort reopened this week after being temporarily closed due to Hurricane Ian last year. The North Naples restaurant renovated its interior and revitalized its menu, which includes appetizers, such as Gulf snapper crudo, charred grilled octopus, forest mushrooms risotto and entrees, such as pan-roasted black grouper, U.S. Prime filet mignon, the Baleen Burger and sous vide poulet rouge. Reservations are required as the restaurant begins welcoming back hotel and community guests. As LaPlaya continues its phased reopening, guest rooms are available at the Gulf and Bay towers. Reservations for LaPlaya’s Beach House rooms are expected to be taken starting in mid-January 2024.
