Espresso Martini
Autumn M.

I went to Baltaire to celebrate my birthday. Upon entry, the room was warm, elegant, and beautiful. The hostesses greeted us and took us to our seats and even said happy birthday which was a nice touch before leaving us. She even pulled out my seat! Juan was our server and he was amazing! The food though not so much. The seafood tower was good, but the only items truly good were the oysters and the lobster. The crab legs were extremely salty and the shrimp was overcooked. We didn't even finish it. For my entree, I got the Branzino. I took a bite and felt bones, but I didn't say anything because I had already complained about the shrimp. I took it home, tried to eat it, and THERE WERE MORE BONES. Juan did bring me a dessert for my birthday which was the butterscotch one. That was so delicious and it made me forget about the Branzino until I got home. Overall, I would not recommend this place for food but I would for drinks and for the service and ambiance. This place was as expensively priced as a Michelin star but the quality did not even come close.

Sides- yummy

Reservation for 6 pm, valet parking available-very reasonable and efficient. Sandy Z was our Server in the bar prior to seating for dinner, she was very cordial and accommodating. Got seated exactly at 6! Lisa our server is for dinner was fantastic. Love the formal uniforms, the ambiance and feel. Table Side Greek Salad was good needed more cheese and a very little more dressing 7/10, Wagyu Steaks were great, Steak Sauce was phenomenal, sides were fantastic (Brussel Sprouts-Mac & Cheese & Onion Rings) Beignets were good, pot de crème 10/10. My only advice is don't charge an additional amount for Truffle Butter when the establishment didn't fix the steak properly in the first place. We will go back for the Burger. The staff was on top of their game, very professional!

Petite filet trio

I've been to Baltaire a few times before but only for brunch, and this was the first time I have come by for dinner and it was absolutely incredible! On a limb, me and my girlfriends decided to have a Friday night out and steak and potatoes were what everyone was craving. All of us have had Voltaire on our radar for dinner and haven't been there before to indulge in their amazing steak options as well as side dishes On a Friday night it was definitely buzzing at the bar, and our reservation was at 6:30 p.m. but soon the restaurant started to fill with seated patrons. You ordered an array of the side dishes and two different steak options... And everything was absolutely delicious. The highlight items for me were the petite filet trio, loaded baked potato and the banana foster dessert. Voltaire has a corkage fee which was really kind, and one of our friends brought a very rare vintage wine to pair with dinner but we also ordered a couple rounds of cocktails which all of those were also another way to make the dinner unforgettable. The ambiance was romantic, moody, and yet had a really lively atmosphere with other groups of folks as well as people on date nights. Service was attentive, friendly and extremely professional. The experience was 10/10 and can't wait to go back!

Dessert

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.

One of my friends really wanted to try their cinnamon roll so we decided to give it try. We were very excited the moment when we walked in. The restaurant's light concept is so beautiful...it felt like enjoying natural outdoor light while still staying warm and cozy inside. Our server was the best. She was very professional, polite and informative. She even offered me extra drink samples so I could choose my favorite. Their drinks were so good!!! I tried my friend's drinks as well, and they were all delicious. We then ordered caviar tray, deviled eggs and brunch courses...Everything was fine till it wasn't. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to expectations. For this beautiful restaurant I expected much better quality in the meat and the seafood, as well as stronger presentation. At one point, we were eating and laughing because we realized we had spent more than $1k mainly for the vibe. Finally we got to the main reason we came..the cinnamon roll...I appreciated the service and that's all really I can say. Overall, it may not just be for us but we did genuinely enjoy the vibe and the atmosphere.

Caviar
Zakia W.

Baltaire absolutely delivered on a chic, elevated brunch experience. From the moment you pull up, the scene is already set -- valet is $12, and inside it's giving modern luxe meets trendy LA brunch energy. They had a DJ spinning smooth vibes, which added to the stylish and lively atmosphere without being overwhelming. We opted for the pre-fixe menu, and let me just say... the Bloody Mary cart alone is enough reason to come here. A total chef's kiss moment -- fun, unique, and so well done. We also decided to go all in with caviar bumps, and honestly, no regrets. Brunch should always feel like a celebration, right? For my main, I ordered the steak and eggs. It did take a bit longer to come out than expected, but when it finally arrived, it was 100% worth the wait -- tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And listen... THE cinnamon bun. I get the hype. It's talked about for a reason -- soft, warm, and just sweet enough without being over the top. Absolutely to die for. Don't skip it. Huge shout-out to our server, Josh, who was incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely made the experience even better. Service matters, and he nailed it. Now I need to go back for dinner because if brunch hit like this, I know dinner is going to be an experience of its own. Food: $$$$ Valet: $12 Atmosphere: Hip/Trendy/Upscale

Wow! What a fantastic meal! Went for our dear old friend's birthday party! Everything was delicious and service was terrific! Thanks Danielle for being our server!

on my top 10 restaurants!! have nothing to complain about. every dish we got, AMAZING. service was IMPECCABLE. loved how half the restaurant had dim romantic lighting & the other half was more natural light.

A friend and I had been dying to check out the DJ brunch for over a year, and we finally went yesterday. We had an excellent time from start to finish! For starters, the restaurant is gorgeous. We were seated inside in the upper area, which I actually preferred to the area on the left. Service was also impeccable. We were even given small frozen Paloma shots to start! You get SO MUCH FOOD. The $89 prix fixe includes a large variety of starters and your choice of an entree. We also added on caviar bumps and I did the Bloody Mary cart (how could I not?). The Bloody Mary was delicious, so were all of the starters, especially the salmon and zucchini bread. And the caviar bumps were amazing! I got French toast as my main - it was good, but not my favorite. It was a little too eggy for me. The only thing we missed was the cinnamon roll cart. We had every intention of getting it but we were just too full. We definitely have to go back! This isn't an inexpensive brunch by any means, but it is an EXPERIENCE. Definitely one of my favorite meals in LA as of late!

Jasmine B.

very fun vibes with a live DJ. Food was good but I'll probably switch up my entree order when I return because I wasnt a fan of the prime benedict or the mahi tacos. Service was amazing. My favorite items were the zucchini bread and the salmon and blini. Overall, it was a really fun experience and I'd love to revisit.

Jamie R.

The atmosphere was beautiful. Our server was very personable and helpful! And the food did not fall short! Unfortunately, my food pics aren't a good quality, but would recommend the lamb chops and steak and creamed corn if it's available! Amazing!

For Sunday Brunch, people start to gather 15-20 minutes before they even open. The line starts to stretch along the sidewalk 10 minutes before hand. The valet line starts to stack up too. If you're going to come for Sunday Brunch then come 15-20 minutes before hand.

Baltaire is one of my favorite spots in LA. The live music nights are spectacular, me and my wife love the food and cocktails. Especially the espresso martinis. Very friendly and professional waiters and bartenders.

Naturally, we were thrilled when the Los Angeles location opened a few years back in the Arts District, but our first few visits left us disappointed. While the food was always good, the service felt kind of arrogant and snooty. GATG subsequently fell off our dining radar. However, a recent invitation to a private group event completely turned things around. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was flawless--starting with a warm welcome at the hostess stand and continuing with the incredibly attentive, friendly servers assigned to our room. Because it was a set menu for our party of 12, we ended up trying several dishes we wouldn't normally order on our own, and every single one was spectacular. The creative cocktails were equally impressive. While the location is, for us anyway, still a bit off the beaten path, the space itself is beautiful, featuring a gorgeous blend of indoor and outdoor seating. Our private dining room was lovely and comfortably hosted our group, though it could probably fit a few more. If you are looking to host a small group event with great vibes, stellar food, and top-tier service, I highly recommend giving them a look.

I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around.

My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times.

The chicken was well seasoned and crispy paired with tangy pickled vegetables and a tasty pretzel bun. The combination of flavours packed a punch but we did wish for a thicker slice of chicken. The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness.

Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

I ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight. The mussels were flavorful, the calamari was crispy and cooked well, and the fries were delicious. Those dishes really saved the experience . Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink. Prank is a convenient place for dtla residents in surrounding apartments to come get some quick bites and drinks and catch a live game

Distrito Catorce is a gem in Boyle Heights that delivers on all fronts. The food was outstanding!…read moreFresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

I knew heading into Distrito Catorce that I wanted to see three things . The closing art exhibit,…read morehear the live band, and finally try Chef Jonathan's menu. It was basically a grand slam. To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

We enjoyed a solid Friday night at Manuela in the Downtown LA Arts District, with a 7:30 PM…read morereservation, before heading to a concert just down the street at the Moroccan Lounge. This is a GREAT launching point for an evening in the area. Dinner, drinks, live music... what's not to like? First, parking. There's plenty of parking in the surrounding area, but finding a spot on a busy Friday night might require some patience. Fortunately, Manuela offers valet parking for $22, which instantly solves that problem! Finding the restaurant is part of the adventure. Tucked away within the Hauser & Wirth art gallery complex, you make your way through what feels like a little alley before discovering this hidden gem. The atmosphere is idellic! Manuela has a cool industrial-meets-rustic vibe, with exposed brick, interesting artwork, warm lighting, and plenty of greenery. The open kitchen adds energy, while the beautiful outdoor courtyard offers a more relaxed setting. A terrific combination of art, architecture, and dining! Our waiter, Luke, did a great job shepherding us through the evening. Truth be told, I never even looked at the menu! I put my trust in Luke, and he certainly didn't steer us wrong. The chicken was OUTSTANDING! Beautifully roasted, exceptionally moist, tender, and loaded with flavor. The accompanying sauces added just enough kick, and the portion was GENEROUS! My wife and I split the chicken, and there was plenty for both of us. We paired it with a delicious arugula salad featuring fresh pears, creamy goat cheese, spiced pecans, and aged balsamic. A wonderful combination of sweet, tangy, and crunchy. The pecans were particularly good! To wash it all down, I enjoyed their refreshing white sangria. Light, fruity, and VERY tasty. I could have easily enjoyed another! Now, a couple of observations. The atmosphere can get LOUD. We had a long table for six, and those seated at either end occasionally had to strain to hear the conversation. Of course, maybe I'm just getting old? LOL! Either way, it's a lively restaurant, so don't expect a quiet, intimate evening when the place is hopping. Another interesting twist: the restrooms aren't directly connected to the restaurant. You'll need to step outside and head across the way. Not a big deal, just something worth knowing. Speaking of the restrooms, ladies, apparently there's some rather unusual wall art awaiting you. Keep your eyes open for what looks like a chocolate-colored garden gnome crossed with Chewbacca. And take a CLOSE look at the interesting adult toy he appears to have discovered in the garden. Let's just say it's definitely NOT a carrot! LOL! Apparently, even the bathroom art has a sense of humor. Bottom line: We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Manuela. Excellent food, terrific service from Luke, a unique atmosphere, and an ideal location for a night out in the Arts District. The chicken alone is worth coming back for! Great food, good friends, live music afterward, and apparently a naughty garden gnome. I'd call that a successful Friday night!
