Baltaire

This Brentwood steakhouse has one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the city—with the sort of well-heeled, designer bag-carrying local clientele that one might expect for the area. Enter through Baltaire’s enormous wooden front doors and you’ll be treated to a refined take on classic steakhouse fare, plus a few standout California-style sides like spicy salmon crispy rice and seasonal grilled artichokes. The menu prices might be steep, but executive chef Samuel Jung’s attention to detail shines through in the juicy, well-marbled and perfectly cooked bone-in ribeye and a crisp wedge salad topped with decadent bacon lardons and plenty of blue cheese dressing. Finish your meal with the freshly made powdered beignets or a slice of banoffee pie—and maybe a cinnamon-spiked tequila espresso martini.
