    There was a beautiful table, generous cocktails, and a delicious dinner. But the topper is that I did not finish my dinner; it was beautifully packaged and placed in a black take-out bag for me. I forgot the bag when leaving the restaurant. I was walking down San Vicente, and I heard someone calling my name. It's Quentin, our waiter, bringing me my leftovers. Amazing, above-and-beyond-service. Baltaire is in my top five restaurants in LA. Quentin, thank you again.

    This was my first experience at a steak 48 chain and I must say it was amazing!! Doug was our server and he was exceptional and knowledgeable of every single aspect of the menu. He acknowledged our food allergies and was very cautious of making sure we had a wonderful experience. Everything was delicious and well prepared. I will be frequently this restaurant in the future.
