Baltaire Restaurant Los Angeles Reviews
Food was great but the service and ambience was second to
Food was great but the service and ambience was second to none!!! I Love this place such a vibe, will definitely come back again very soon.
Solid place for a higher end dinner.
The shrimp cocktail and tableside Greek salad are a must. Pretty disappointed by the spicy salmon crispy rice based on all the rave reviews. The rice was soggy and the overall dish was just bland. Sadly the bone in ribeye wasn't all that great either. Although it was cooked perfectly, it was definitely lacking in flavor. The lobster mac and cheese was loaded with lobster and definitely worth the price. All 3 cocktails we ordered were perfect and the service, although slow, was not bad. The ambiance here is probably one of the best aspects of the restaurant. Dimly lit, huge space, and beautiful decor. Definitely worth a visit but probably wouldn't return as there are better steaks in LA.
No idea how this place has a 4-star average.
Steak was deplorable, gamey. Make no mistake: This is no Capital Grille. The dessert was flavorless. Service was friendly but not particularly attentive. At least 5 managers walking around, not a one visited the table. The room is nice, the musicians accomplished, and the support staff is caring. Thus the extra star.
Went to this place Sunday for dinner.
The service from Lisa was amazing. I definitely would love to come back here next time i'm in the area. We started with the steak tartare and the spicy salmon crispy rice both, loved the salmon. The steak tartare was the first time i ever tried it and it was okay. For my entree I got the swordfish herb marinated with a side of broccolini which was amazing, definitely would order again. my bf got the Wagyu tasting which was my first time trying Wagyu and it was amazing so good. lastly for dessert we got the butterscotch pot de creme which i loved and now craving it again, and then the powdered beignets which came with a vanilla, coffee and chocolate dipping sauce (vanilla was the best). I also got the sakura cocktail which was sweet but still very good and then a bottle of La Moussiere sb which was a very good wine. And to end the night I got the nightcap which wasn't my favorite, I should've got the espresso martini instead which i was dying to try but just completely forgot about. Would definitely love to come back here! :)
Happy to be here! Actually came a couple years ago so it
Happy to be here! Actually came a couple years ago so it was refreshing. Ballet is about $14 which is really good for Westwood. Restaurant is so nice and they have beautiful music playing when you walk in. The hostess got a seated in about five minutes. During dinner time they dim the lights very low and it gives it such a true vibe. It's so romantic Friday night. I came on my birthday and they gave me a beautiful birthday card. My steak was cooked perfectly and I really loved the flavor of the lamb chop lollipops. I wish the lobster macaroni and cheese had a bit more lobster than the Caesar salad was so tasty and flavorful.
Let's start with the only aspect of Baltaire which makes it
Let's start with the only aspect of Baltaire which makes it an iffy to get it out of the way. The lighting. Fortunately, the dining area is better lit but if you want to pop in for a quick cocktail and small eats at the bar or lounge just know the room will be dim. It's all part of the vibe, but if you're looking for a place with good lighting I would look for other spots in the area. That being said, the service is great. The food is solid. The ambiance is intimate and lively. The noise levels are determined on your timing so if you want to hear each other go on the earlier side of the early evening (4-6 pm). Definitely a great spot for any and all occasions.
I cannot say enough great things about Baltaire.
The ambiance. The service. The food. The drinks. Amazing.
We had a "light" dinner here a couple of weeks ago.
There were 6 of us. The setting is beautiful (one of the nicest looking interiors in LA) and the service was great. We had: Seafood Tower - 5/5: One of the best seafood towers, everything tasted great (and the shrimp are huge!). Comes with oysters, shrimp, lobster and king crab. Bone-in Ribeye - 5/5: Cooked perfectly and so full of flavor. Lobster Risotto - 5/5: Probably the best risotto I've ever had. Dover Sole - 3.5/5: A bit of a miss compared to the other foods. Just okay, not a whole lot of flavor or anything unique about it. We had some sides as well, but I don't really remember. Overall a great meal, and we'll definitely be back.
The food was amazing! Wagyu was divine! We had a few side
The food was amazing! Wagyu was divine! We had a few side dishes and the creamed corn was our favorite! All the dishes including dessert came out nice and hot! Drinks were delicious and service was spectacular! Thank you for a special night
WOW. What a luxurious brunch experience. Everything was so
WOW. What a luxurious brunch experience. Everything was so worth the price point honestly. The best part of the brunch was the 5 appetizer dishes that came before your main. Not gonna lie it was a LOT of food - but so worth it and the service was attentive. Favorite app was the zucchini bread and favorite main was surprisingly kc's French toast
Perfect
Gorgeous dinner at Baltaire. The meat was perfect (taste and cook). Amazing selection of wines from all over the world. Sure you will fine the good wine for your donner there.
Excellent expérience at Baltaire’s: meat, wine, service, all was perfect
Excellent experience at Baltairés it's rare to have meat that arrives hot, even simmering, and so good. The desserts were succulent, with a special mention for the "BUTTERSCOTCH POT DE CRÈME", which was Jimmy. The wine selection is fantastic, with an international wine list. The service was impeccable, the waiters very attentive and the sommelier's advice very good. Great restaurant with a very intimate decor. We'll be glad to come back the next time we're in Los Angeles.
Never disapppoints!
This is our favorite places for dinner in Brentwood. Our server (Kynnedy D--our favorite) was attentive and humorous. The food was delicious as always: one petite filet mignon, one filet trio, and one Boston Bibb salad. We loved our wine--Chateau De Parnay, "Le Blanson," Saumur Champigny, Loire Valley, France. The ambiance is lovely as well. Do make a reservation as we've never dined here without one, and the place is always bustling.
Omg!!! What a night.
The service and food were amazing. Baltaire was intimate and worth every minute there. My only issue was trying to see the menu was difficult as we needed more light. And our wonderful server, Charles? Tall and handsome dripping in bling, lol. I think that was smhis nane. He was so gracious to provide more light. I'm sure we got on his last damn nerve. But he made my birthday evening memorable as I'm sure we did his. The food, my rib eye, was the freaking best steak I've had in a while. Shit, everything was fire. The cocktails, the dessert, and those salmon and crispy rice bites, guurrrrllll, I would be at this place every day just for those. Fun times for sure. Check them out, you will not be disappointed.
Such a great beautiful restaurant the ambiance and music
Such a great beautiful restaurant the ambiance and music cannot be beat! The food is incredible, the steak, mushrooms, oysters and artichokes were incredible. The service was ok, we were left alone a lot and then our waitress was super super chatty. The only thing I didn't like was: the timing of the courses and that everyone working there kept trying to take our plates while we were eating? Like anytime we put a fork down they would swoop in for our plates, even if they were full of food. However 10/10 would come back!
Good drinks good food good atmosphere.
Good crowd. Good bar. Fancy, expensive and recommended
This place is all talk and no taste.
Food and drinks are overpriced and staff is overworked by snotty managers. There are better places to spend money in a city of thousands of options. Major MEH
We went for a light early dinner and ordered the oysters,
We went for a light early dinner and ordered the oysters, steak tartare with sourdough, filet mignon tasting with mushrooms, and powdered beignets. All in all, dishes were good. Not great, but good. Unfortunately this place was so loud we could barely hear our own conversation, which was very odd since it wasn't very crowded at the time. The service was very inconsistent as well, but we just chalked it up to the volume of the background noise as they still managed to fulfill our requests after some clarifications.
Food terrible and overpriced.
Great location but don't eat here. Years later how bad and how expensive it was lingers
Food - seafood and steak among other things.
We had the bone-in ribeye, brocollini, and whipped olive oil potatoes and all are delicious!! Also had eagle rock west coast oysters as part of the appetizer. Service - full service and good! Ambiance - classy and loud especially at dinnertime. Make your reservations as we waited for over a couple of hours. It's a good place for socializing and having a great dinner too!! Lots of convo and is happening. Bar area is big. Fine dining in LA near Brentwood in San Vicente. Big baller area for sure. Just bring your Ferrari and your Channel bags. You'll need to back up your flex. Valet in the front but metered street parking can be had. But don't let this deter you because it's a good place to visit even if you want to have a drink and some appetizers, coffee, and some desert. Casual but dress like a dapper or understated baller. Don't know if this place attracts certain type or class of people, but certainly seems to in my opinion. See or be seen!
Came here for my husband's birthday last week and we were
Came here for my husband's birthday last week and we were so extremely surprised by how great our experience was. I received an email asking who's birthday it was, so when we arrived, the staff right away wished my husband a happy birthday and sat us right away. There was a beautiful birthday card on the table and our server, Danielle, came over right away and introduced herself and wished my husband a happy birthday. Danielle was absolutely fabulous and really made our entire experience unforgettable. The food was also amazing. My brother had the Wedge salad and said it was the best he's had. My husband and I shared the Greek salad that was made table side and we really enjoyed it. We were also surprised that it was big enough for two. I had the Ora King Salmon and it was amazing - it was crispy on the outside and was like butter on the inside and was a generous portion! My husband had the pan seared salmon with pea risotto and that was great also. My brother had the Lollipop lamb chops and said they were great. The portions were very generous. We couldn't decide on a wine, so Danielle brought a taste of the two different wines we were thinking of. I was so thankful because I usually get a Pinot Noir but tonight I really liked the Syrah better. Throughout the entire meal, Danielle was absolutely amazing. She was kind and funny and treated us as if we were everyday VIP customers. I must say we were a little skeptical expecting super high prices for very little food, but was so pleasantly surprised at how great everything was, especially Danielle. She made our evening extra special and we can't wait to come back again soon. Thank you, Danielle for such a memorable evening and making my husbands birthday so special! You're the best!!
I love their Sunday brunch! So much fun and such a vibe!
I love their Sunday brunch! So much fun and such a vibe! Kid friendly and the staff is always so nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend the Bloody Mary cart and their lobster omelette was just to die for- very tast

Baltaire
Baltaire was the site of our most recent bros dinner. Nothing like a good bros dinner. As Michael Scott once said, "Bros before hos. Why? Because your bros are always there for you. They have got your back after your ho rips your heart out for no good reason." The 3 bros sat down in the beautiful open air patio on a nice evening with no humidity. Gotta love LA. The feng shui in here is immaculate, as it just feels like a completed space with no clutter. Everything is as it should be. First and foremost, I need to shout out our waiter Jose. He was JOKES! Engaging with our un-witty banter and humor, just a good people person overall. He also had some great recommendations for wine and food, URGING us to get the octopus as a starter and what a fantastic call it was. Jose even played along with us as we asked what wine he recommended when we were just going to get the cheapest one anyway ahahahaha. We are on the come up but the bros aren't there yet! For starters, we went with the aforementioned octopus, the tuna tartare, and a mix of west/east coast oysters. I'm biased but west coast oysters are LIKE THAT. Apps were fantastic, no misses there. For mains, 2 of the bros got the filet mignon and one got his RARE like a psychopath. He dug his heels in the sand and said that at a good steakhouse you should always order rare. I couldn't disagree more, but this type of civil discourse is what pushes our society forward. He also grew up on a sheep farm so maybe he does have a bit more credibility than me... I always ask for affogato for dessert even though it's rarely on any menu and, much to my chagrin, most times they say they can't do it. Jose met my request with a furrowed brow, light smile, and a quick head nod while saying "Of course" in a tone as confident as Floyd Mayweather when talking about any potential opponent. THANK YOU JOSE THAT AFFOGATO SLAPPED. After dinner, the bros hopped in an uber and ended up playing Super Smash Bros and Rocket League into the wee hours of the night. A true bros night. IG @jnov_

My wife and I treated a friend to dinner here. Our server (Jonas A.) was attentive and humorous. The food was delicious as always: two petite filet Mignon, Maine Diver Scallops, jumbo asparagus, hand-cut fried, and Beignets for dessert. The ambiance is lovely as well. Do make a reservation as we've never dined here without one, and the place is always bustling.
Save you sanity
Arrived on time for our reservation. Were made to wait 35 min in the extremely loud and full bar that had live music reminiscent of a bad 80s cruise ship band. Nobody could hear themselves think as people who arrived for later reservations were sat before us. We finally found the manager who was not very apologetic or nice for that matter, he went to the host stand and arranged for us to be brought to our table. The servers were not very attentive came 2 times throughout, one of them mentioned she was so sorry it was so loud and she had to shout at us. Nice right? The food was fine, not the most mind blowing, but also not awful. The drinks were ok, nothing to write home about. I don’t think I’ve ever felt less comfortable at a dining experience, so if anyone wants to shout at their friend to maintain a dinner convo, get treated like garbage by the employees, and have mediocre food/drinks while being a captive audience to a bar mitzvah style rendition of a Jackson 5 song while trying to enjoy a ‘Michelin’ rated meal, Baltaire is gonna be your jam!
Horrible food and service. Go somewhere else.
Don’t quite understand where the good reviews come from… The Food is very very MEDIOCRE to be nice. Salmon crispy rice, rice was super hard, lobster Mac and cheese was very bland, we had to dip it in our sauce to give little more flavor. Branzino was small portion and salty. We dipped it in Mac and cheese to make it little better tasting. Drinks were not good, didn’t leave us wanting to order more. The old fashioned tasted like Potpourri and on top of that we told them we had birthday and nothing… for fine dining restaurant I definitely have been to way better places in LA. If it wasn’t for the fact we were there for a birthday, I would have definitely walked out. Also told them twice we had birthday and nothing. would not go again!
Local Gem/World class amazing restaurant!
I had very low expections- this is popular place and it was a Saturday evening- surely very crowded. Well- i stand corrected. Meredith , manager I think, was wonderful. She helped our group seat ourselves together at bar seating for my friend‘s birthday. Greg was an exceptional bartender. He made a cocktail I‘d never heard of- and it was one of the best things ever, ever. The ahi tartar was good, the octopus , the steak tacos…… and whoa, I forget what they call the beignets but they‘re even better than beignets. Meredith did not lead us astray even once; greg neither. And Shoutout to Marco who served our table. Pro tip- if you‘re smarter than I am, request extra tarot chips w the ahi! I usually do not leave my area but Baltaire does everything above and beyond. Advice from a local! (Ask me anything )
The service was 5 star for sure.
Our waitress was Pari. Very attentive... she was patient with us and when we said we needed to hurry and catch a movie.. she wanted to make sure we got our complimentary anniversary dessert. The ambiance was surprisingly loud. But not bothersome at all. It gave us a positive ,live feel. It sure was busy with many groups from friends to couples. It still was classy place to take a date out. Bit dark, booths were close together but spacious enough for I would say a hundred people in the house. I give the food 4 stars only bc the they gave us was as hard as a rock. The appetizer we ordered was salmon on crispy rice for $32 . It came with 5 pieces. That was crispy and flavorful. . The $200 tomahawk came next.. 40 0z rib eye. did not disappoint. We shared a medium well rib eye. So juicy and tender. Already sliced. We qaso got the macaroni and cheese with added lobster. This was yummy but nothing different from other places. All in all 4.5 stars. Let's round it out to 5. Only bc I loved the service and the rib eye. Thank you Baltaire in Brentwood, ca.
This review is for the bar area staff only.
I went and had a nice dinner with my boyfriend. After, we went to the bar area to hang with friends. I was in the bathroom when they announced "last call" but one of the bar tenders said he would still get me a drink. Then, his manager came upto us and said no way. He then proceeded to pour two drinks for another guest and so my boyfriend asked what the big deal was if he was clearly still serving drinks to others. He then said "I told you, Dawg, no more drinks, get your boy outta here" to me. I will never return. The bar manager was a bald , short hispanic man.
Asked for medium rare for bone in ribeye and comes out well
Asked for medium rare for bone in ribeye and comes out well done. Waiter takes it back and brings back another ribeye 2 minutes later that was medium. You pay almost 100 bucks for bone in rib-eye you would expect them to get it right.
Amazing.
One of the best restaurants in LA! Perfect for business meetings with a fun vibe.
Baltaire is one of my favorite restaurant.
I love the ambiance, the service is always good and I usually go for dinner and always really enjoyed the food. This was my first time going there for lunch. We ordered chopped salad which was ok, nothing extraordinary, and for main course I ordered the burger and for the first time I was disappointed. I ordered to be cooked medium but it looked burned and not very appetizing. My friend ordered the open face steak sandwich which also looked kind of dry, the other friend ordered sea bass sandwich which looked good and she was happy with it. I guess because of my previous experiences I had a high expectation from this place so I am not sure if the dinner menu is better or we just had a bad day there.Should I go back for lunch? I don't know......
Gonna keep it short and simple Parking: valet or street.
You will most likely need to valet. Host: sat us down immediately, not waiting. Table: big round table for a party of 4 , meaning it was spacious. Noise level: loud, all you hear are people chattering , which is understandable. Food: you can tell the quality of the food is VERY good, but I felt that the chefs they have do not cook things as good as other steak houses. They either under cook or over cook. That was a bummer.Cocktails: TERRIBLE, no alcohol, it was juice like. Service: the waiters and bussers are very helpful and attentive. Despite all of the above I only give this place 3.5 stars because I've experienced better and I came in with high expectations.
Just an absolutely spectacular steakhouse with an
Just an absolutely spectacular steakhouse with an incredible wine list. I love that they also have local wines available. You can't leave there without tasting their tartare their oysters, their incredible steak trio and their insane onion rings. Their sommelier David is so intelligent and really knows a lot about his wines. So if you're ever nervous or do not know what to pick, he can absolutely help you out. I love coming here just to grab a drink on a casual weekday or weeknight evening at the bar which is always so lively and often has live music. I also enjoy coming here to celebrate special events with the family.
this is stupid i have never been there and after getting
this is stupid i have never been there and after getting hounded by your app i don't intend on going
My go to restaurant, although the prices are pretty high.
The decor and service is always impeccable. If you have an important event, a private room is the way to go. It can be quite loud for dinner.
Food and service were excellent.
Absolutely loved the ambiance, very romantic and elegant. 10/10
A People Watching Experience
This is clearly a place where people come to see and be seen. While the food overall was very good, Not sure that it was so good as to be commensurate with it's prices. Service was overall very good to excellent as well. Worth a try for that special occasion
I was looking for a special place for Valentine's day, and
I was looking for a special place for Valentine's day, and boy did this place disappoint. I'm lucky my girlfriend has the same standards for food as me and we've been dating a year because otherwise i'd be embarrassed to take anyone else here. this place is the epitome of having dollars but no sense. the food is so mediocre. they're milking the valentines day crowd for all they're worth and hoping they're too proud or self conscious to call out the dryness of the steaks, the cheapness of the pasta, and the overpriced wine. if you're an LA hotshot wannabe who wants to spend money for very little in return, this is the spot for you. but if you're with anyone with any discernible taste buds in their mouth, your money can be spent elsewhere.
The atmosphere was beautiful but the my meal, the chicken,
The atmosphere was beautiful but the my meal, the chicken, was mediocre at best. But what really set the night off was the waiter barging into the middle of our conversation to share the daily specials. Come on guys. This is Waiter101 stuff. Was it really that important to cut the three of us off in the middle of a conversation to tell us about the fish of the day. Just swing back around in a few minutes when there is a pause in the conversation. This is not Denny's and one should expect more from a $$$$$ restaurant. To be fair, my two friends enjoyed their meal, so maybe it's just me.
Spectacular service
The food is exceptional, but great food is nothing without great service. This spot certainly does provide excellent service. The meats are well chosen and well-prepared, and the wine list is impressive.
