What Esther Yeoh doesn't like about La Balena:
This place used to be very good. This is my fifth time eating here. I tried to make it a point to come here every time when I am in town.Their appetizers are still good and it is still dog friendly.The cauliflower and octopus are delicious.The pasta however are all very bland and not great. It is very unfortunate because this place used to be excellent. View all feedback. What Roxanne Anderson likes about La Balena:

We chose Balena because it shows up on a lot of bloggers' lists but our experience was unremarkable nothing particularly bad or good.
