Last night, I surprised my wife with a birthday dinner at Baldi after making reservations nearly three weeks in advance, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Our server, Jared, truly made my wife's birthday dinner even more special. His knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and genuine care for our experience were second to none. The food was absolutely outstanding. We enjoyed appetizers, the Kale Caesar Salad, Ribeye Steak, Wagyu, Truffle Mac & Cheese, and Broccolini. Every dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. There wasn't a single item that missed the mark. Beyond the food, the ambiance and decor were incredible. For a few hours, it felt as though we had been transported somewhere far beyond Beverly Hills. The atmosphere was elegant, warm, and memorable. We also had the pleasure of meeting Randy, the General Manager, who was incredibly gracious and welcoming. It's clear that hospitality and guest experience are top priorities for the entire team. Of all the surprises I planned for my wife's birthday, this dinner was truly one of the highlights of the celebration. Thank you to Jared, Randy, and the entire Baldi team for making the evening so special. We can't wait to return with friends and family and highly recommend Baldi to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Everything was simply perfect. read more

The food is good, but noticeably VERY pricey for what's being served though I suppose prime Beverly Hills Hotel rent doesn't pay itself. Service is perfectly fine, just nothing memorable or worth raving about. Make sure to reserve for inside as outside seating has nothing to offer. The biggest downside is the ambiance. The crowd skewed much older, and even the bar area lacked any real energy or buzz. If you're looking for a lively, cool dining experience, this probably isn't the spot specially for LA with all other options. Overall, it's a decent pricey meal and an interesting place to try once, but not somewhere I'd rush back to or consider a go‑to destination. read more

If you want top-notch food and stellar service, head over to Baldi!!! Located in Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, this brand new addition will make you drool!!! Highly recommended for EVERYTHING in utter deliciousness!!! This is what I had...... Tuna Carpaccio, a secret menu item, fresh and very tasty!!! Thin slices of mouthwatering tuna with out-of-this-world flavors of lemon zesty oil, and other ingredients, that's difficult to describe. You won't be disappointed with this dish! Sweet Corn Tortellini. Aww!!! The buttery truffle flavors. The pasta just melts into your mouth. Piping hot and fresh!!!! This dish is definitely impressive, and an absolute joy to eat!!! If you're into sweet corn, you'll definitely taste that! For Dessert...... Their Cheesecake.... NOT at all like any cheesecake that you would get at The Cheesecake Factory. Night and day comparison. I'm not a cheesecake person, but I'm so glad to have tried this dessert. Once you take a bite, it had the consistency of a mild cheesy mousse with sweetness that is so satisfying. Not overly sweet, and it was perfection!!! The berries complemented the textured creamy cheesecake with gusto!!!! Watch out, Yelpers!!!! Baldi is pricey!!! But this place rocks!!! Outstanding customer service, and the lively bar and atmosphere is the ticket to an enjoyable evening!!! This place is highly recommended to impress your clients, an elegant first date, or an amazing celebration!! What a most memorable evening, I've experienced!! Baldi certainly knocked my socks off!!!! Please call or make an OpenTable reservation ahead! Weekends are a challenge to score a reservation! Dress sharp!! You bet, I'm returning!!! Trust me, you won't regret it!! Cheers and Enjoy!!!! read more

They've been open only 6 weeks . Wanted to check out the E Baldi bigger sister restaurant in the Waldorf . Beautiful wood decor . Got bar seating only . The steak was good . Came with sauces . The shiitake mushrooms were not the same like ebaldi. Not crispy enough . Looking forward to coming back for the Florentine steak promised that is only available Wednesday to the weekend. Bar service personnel were friendly and fun . read more

My friends and I were so excited to try this brand new restaurant Baldi in the Waldorf for my birthday. When you pull up, valet takes your car and it's $15 with validation. You walk into the beautiful hotel and Baldi is immediately to the right. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful with high ceilings and decor. They also have outside seating where I saw the beautiful Elle Fanning dining with her Rollingstone boyfriend Gus. The vibe here was luxurious and lively. There's a bar area too and the co-owner of the Waldorf came to talk with us and told us to come back during happy hour which he said we will love. From my very first step inside everyone from the staff was wishing me a happy birthday which felt really good. Now let's get to the food. Our waiter Omer gave us some recs when asked. If you're expecting the same menu from giorgio baldi or e. baldi, don't...this is a steakhouse so the food is a bit different. We ordered the following: lemon spritz, espresso martini, chicken meatballs, burrata, Piccolo Grand Fritto Misto (calamari), Hamachi Carpaccio, sliced artichoke, Sweet Corn Tortellini, Lobster Linguine, Large Ricotta and Butternut Squash Gnocchi, Thin Filet of Salmon, Chicken Milanese, charred broccolini, and a slice of Cheesecake and slice of Chocolate for dessert. Everything was good, some better than others. My fave was the chicken meatballs, sweet corn tortellini, and butternut squash gnocchi. The artichoke and chicken Milanese leaves a lot to be desired and the hamachi was good but the peppercorn on it threw me off. I had a good time here and I'm excited to come back for happy hour and more nights out with my girls. They have only been open a couple of weeks and I already know this is going to be the new go to spot in Beverly Hills. read more

What an incredible dining experience. E & Co did not disappoint. The hamachi was fantastic, the Kale take on a Caesar salad was incredible and the Tiramisu plus coffee ice cream was so delicious! Omer provided us was excellent service, and the rest of the staff were just as accommodating and professional. Definitely coming back! You can thank me later. read more

Baldi - Beautiful Decor - Steakhouses Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

FOOD=5 The meal was truly delicious. The minestrone was delectable. The tagliatelle with mushrooms was sublime. The roasted potatoes with rosemary and sage were spectacular. I could just eat them and be totally satisfied. The cheesecake was very good but not quite as good as it is served at the Belvedere, let alone the Belvedere presentation. SERVICE=5 Olga, my server, was most helpful. Very professional and knowledgeable. All servers were spot on. My water glass was continually refreshed without having to ask. My plates were whisked away when a server noticed I had finished. Top notch service all around. AMBIANCE=1 I love Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles (saw them in '65) but NOT in the signature restaurant of a Five Star hotel, let alone the Waldorf-Astoria. I found the music loud, out of place and even jarring at times. If it weren't for Martin, I may well have left. And I found the décor lacking. The overhead lighting was quite fascinating and, in its way, beautiful. But the open kitchen, to me, is an eye sore, especially in a venue such as this. BOTTOM LINE=It is unlikely I will return and that is ONLY because of the ambiance, most especially the selection and loudness of the music. I just can't tolerate it, even with such wonderful food and superior service. It's really a shame. read more

Had a great experience at Baldi tonight. First off, the service was one of the best I've had in a while. From the moment you walk in to the end, you have a great staff trying to make your experience the best they can. The space is also beautiful. We sat outside and felt like we were on vacation. The food was great. We ordered the artichoke salad, corn tortellini pasta, pomodoro pasta, kosher ribeye, and potatoes. Everything was delicious. I would recommend this spot for a special night out. read more

First let me say the renovations on this former Jean George are incredible. It's a lovely setting and wonderful ambience. Also all the staff are incredibly professional and helpful. The reason for my rating is the food was just ok and the prices extremely high. I would say the prices are on par with a Michelin establishment but the quality really sub par. The food was tasteless and bland and the wine by the glass selections needs improvement. I will give it another try in a few months as perhaps they can smooth out these issues. read more

Got to join the crew at 3 month old Baldi on their first Monday night service. Never saw this space before its new incarnation but it is currently visually appealing. Booth Tables sit a bit low and tight for big guys like me, but no big deal. Staff were fun and friendly with their presentations. Helpful with suggestions. I tried a Francezco Spritz which was refreshing thoughI was leaning towards the Rabarbo. Starter courses were the Chicken Meatballs, Off Menu suggestion of Melon and Prosciutto, Kale Ceasar and Sweet Corn pasta. Meatballs were very flavorful practically like Thanksgiving Dinner in small bites. Melon salad was sweet and in season. Kale Caesar not too intense, could go stronger on dressing and cheese for me. Sweet corn pasta tasted different than competitors but good. Rather than going all out for wagyu, our trip opted for Rib-eye steaks . Though a Kosher Bone-in premium was offered, I really just wanted to enjoy a proper rib eye. Baldi being Italian fare serves a red sauce and a green sauce with their steaks. Don't want to give away too much details so I'll leave some mystery for your visit as far as their flavor profiles. All need be said they were good for the meat. Steaks arrived beautifully rare. On the side had some charred broccolini and toasted potatoes. The broccolini was a bit soft but not over done. Potatoes were well done, maybe too much for my friends but I liked them for that style. Finished off the meal with the Budino, Apple Pastry a la Mode, and Cheesecake. Nice portions and balanced sweetness. We were 2nd party at quiet opening but the house seemed filled by the time were headed out. With Mondays being limited now for dining out, Baldi will stand out among those still serving. read more

Fabulous food at the beautiful new upscale steakhouse Baldi at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. We had the Wagyu Australian Tomahawk steak and the rib eye steak - both were cooked and flavored to absolute perfection. One of our guests said " best steak he's ever had in LA!! " Our delicious sides , asparagus, roasted potatoes and broccolini were perfect. We tried 3 desserts , burnt cheesecake ( beyond description!! ), apple pie with ice cream equally yummy , old fashion banana split! The service was exceptional, personal, attentive, warm and gracious ( thank you Jerod!) Highly recommend this epic new restaurant. read more

They've just opened. Based on E. Baldi on Canon, I cant wait to try them! They're inside the Waldorf-Astoria next to the Beverly Hilton.

Food is good but oh my god the service is so bad! I can't believe they get away with charging this much for such bad service! And it's so loud in there oh my god! read more

So excited to try new Waldorf venues! Unfortunately, we made a reservation for the standalone Baldi restaurant nearby rather than the Waldorf location. Thankfully, hosts were able to accommodate us, notwithstanding a special event. Restaurant uses the full space: dining room, bar area, and covered outdoor patio. Service was exceptional. Food was excellent. Dining room was amazing. Look forward to many more meals at Baldi. Thanks! read more

Went Saturday night, date night and wanted to try out the new "Hot Spot". Decor and staff were excellent and very welcoming. Restaurant was very busy, little on the louder side but not horrible. What we had: Chopped Kale Caesar - excellent and fairly large Tuna Carpaccio with caviar - was special of the day, and was very good but for $75 not worth it. Corn Tortellini pasta - excellent 8oz NY steak - excellent Soufflé - not the best I've had and also for $45 def not worth it imo. Overall was very nice dinner and food was good, but a little over priced for certain dishes. I'll be going back for sure to try some other dishes...looking forward to it :). read more

Tortellini corn dish was amazing as was the carpaccio. Our ribeye steak was just okay. The service was amazing.

After arriving to the restaurant for a 5PM meal we were walked to a table for four in the very back of the room by an open door with a cutting breeze. We requested to seat on a banquette but were told they were all reserved. Then the manager Martin showed up and said you can have the banquette but only for two hours. WTF ? A time table pressure not good. Then he suggested a banquette on the terrace with heaters which is where we finally sat. It was the most unprofessional handling of hotels and restaurant guests. One greeter even said to us " we get a lot of famous people " if she only knew.... dumb tone deaf remark . It soured the great experience we were looking forward to having. But in all fairness the food mitigated some of the sting of the seating debacle. The Dover sole was disappointingly ill prepared .. thick and tough ?? BTW from our table outside we could see the empty banquette we were turned away from even as we left at 7:40PM To not even attempt to comp a dessert or a glass of wine or any overture to smooth what was obviously an unfortunate first impression was shocking. The bill for four was almost $900 read more

Went for lunch. Great service food and ambiance. Pricey but will return. Terrific server and sommelier.

It doesn't get much better than this. Everything was terrific from the convenient valet parking with easy entrance to the restaurant to the hostess, maître D, servers, food runners, bussers. Everything was wonderful. Very enjoyable meal. Not rushed. Highly recommended. read more

Very disappointing service pacing for a high end venue. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet we felt incredibly rushed. We ordered Champagne, pastas, Dover sole and chicken Milanese, all brought to the table within 20 minutes. It was impossible to enjoy the experience-we were eating nonstop just to prevent the food from getting cold. We decided against ordering dessert and more Champagne because of the pressure to leave. read more

great food and atmosphere! we go to all the baldi restaurants!! they have been around forever and if your in the mood for the best pasta and italian steaks go to baldi!! read more
