Balitaire

So first time for brunch here and the last one! It’s fine, nothing interesting and extraordinary, but there is nothing like it in LA, so we came to check it out. Amazing Bloody Mary cart!!! Delicious cinnamon roll - order with your server upon arrival, steak was great, the rest was good. Even it’s $89 per person, Bloody Mary service, champagne service & cinnamon roll are not included. We spent $509 for 2 people (service 20% included). DJ wasn’t creating any vibe at the place, was really boring. Was or worth it - strong no.

Baltaire is definitely a vibe. Upscale and luxurious! We went for the DJ brunch and ate to our hearts desire: it’s pre fixe $95. A lot of food so bring your appetite. We took advantage of the Bloody Mary cart (for an additional charge). It was decadent with all the fixings! We had a spread of shareable plates and then each of us picked a main. Big portions! Our waitress surprised us at the end with the most delicious dessert. I have to say that service was exceptional. Would love to return for dinner. They also had a huge cinnamon bun made to order which looked so good.. maybe next time! We ordered steak and eggs, filet Benedict and crab salad. Everyone raved about the Benedict so that’s what we ordered but I have to say the muffin wasn’t as amazing as I thought it would be. Valet is available and for lunch was $13.

This place is a revelation. The service is better than any of those other chain restaurants. The steak is so incredibly tender and full of flavor. I would take a few sips of water and like magicians the wait staff would make sure my water was topped off at all times. As soon as my empty coke bottle hit the table it was gone. After appetizers they came cleaned the table, reset the covers, and it was picture perfect like when we arrived. This place deserves every single praise it gets. Definitely will come back. (Even if it’s expensive)

Really enjoyed the entire Baltaire brunch experience! It's a beautiful restaurant. Service was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. It's definitely a must try at least once kind of place, then it's either your jam or not. I'd be happy to go back anytime. In terms of the food, it seemed endless so come very, very hungry or call this your one meal for the day. Really enjoyed all the shareable appetizers. Favorites were the gravlax and mediterranean mezze. All were decent. There were a ton of options for the main brunch dish. We went with the carne asada chilaquiles (delicious) and the prime filet benedict (miss). The prime filet was not good, but eggs were done well. Cinnamon roll prepared tableside was fun, but it was a bit dry. Virgin Mary was good and they will prepare it tableside too via their amazing cart if you just ask.
