    Great experience. The restaurant was a 5 minute walk from the Santa Monica Pier where we attended the Cirque du soleil show. We had reservations and we were seated promptly. The steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection. The service and food were great. Definitely will be back.

    Our dinner was absolutely wonderful! Starting with the hostess greeting us at the door asking about our reservation and letting us know they were a little behind. We were seating about 15 min past our reservation but all went well. Our waiter was excellent, giving us suggestions as we made our selection. After our dinner finished, we were surprised with 3 different deserts, on the house! We absolutely loved the Beignet's! So delicious! Thank you Baltaire for a lovely evening!

    This place was absolutely amazing! Everything from the service, the food, the ambiance. I got a5 wagu and it is the best filet I’ve had in my life. The hamachi crudo and the ahi tuna cigar were so beautifully displayed and tasted just as good. 10/10 and would definitely be back!
