📍 Baltaire Restaurant 11647 San Vicente Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049 🔸 Reservations recommended | Valet parking available Ambience is elegant and intimate – perfect for romantic dates, girls’ night, friend gatherings, or even business dinners. Fun fact: Justin Bieber and Hailey celebrated their anniversary here! (Though fair warning… the crowd is… very white 👀) As one of LA’s top-ranked steak houses, Baltaire offers a broad menu – appetizers, seafood, mains, sides, desserts, and an impressive wine list. Great for those of us who love to order a bit of everything! Service was attentive – options include indoor tables, bar seating, and patio. 🧡 What We Tried: 🍞 Complimentary Bread: Crispy on the outside, soft inside + creamy butter 🧈 🐟 Ahi Tuna Poke: Fresh tuna, avocado, topped with crispy taro chips – refreshing and crunchy! 🥩 Prime Beef Tartare: Served with toasted bread. decent but nothing special – bread was slightly over-charred. 🔥 Bone-In Ribeye (22oz): Dry-aged, incredibly juicy and flavorful. Simply cooked to highlight quality. So satisfying! 🐟 Chilean Sea Bass: Tender, flaky, with a slight sear. Served with cabbage and chili – felt like a tasty Chinese-inspired steam fish fusion. 🍚 Maine Lobster Risotto: Absolutely heavenly 😭 Generous chunks of lobster, rich and aromatic… tastes like the ocean, truly! 🍫 Chocolate Cake: Creamy top, baked crust base – a solid dessert, especially for chocolate lovers. 🍷 Cabernet Sauvignon: Toasted to friendship! This meal was a highlight after a long day – good food, great friend, much gratitude 🙏 Working hard is worth it when you can enjoy life’s finer moments. ✨ A little reflection: Sometimes we get so caught up in winning, in being exceptional… But what we’re truly seeking is happiness. Letting go often brings what we need – inner peace and contentment. Treasure every moment of joy. The present you is already complete. The ending is already written – so be boldly yourself, do what you love, and trust your path. Wishing everyone finds their own happiness 🌸 Highlights: Excellent food, perfect atmosphere, and forever friendship 💫 #LosAngeles #DateNight #OldMoneyAesthetic #BeverlyHills #Steakhouse #Baltaire
