They kind of had us at “boozy,” but the deal was sealed by the cinnamon roll cart, and caviar bumps for you and all your friends. This is the place to be on a Sunday in LA.
Why Baltaire?
Baltaire has long been Brentwood’s sleek steakhouse, where seafood towers impress and martinis never miss. But on weekends, the restaurant shifts into a different gear. On weekends, brunch brings a DJ, a bright terrace, and a crowd that treats the whole thing like a sport.
The airy, blond‑wood design sets the tone for a Champagne‑forward afternoon that easily drifts into evening. It’s a steakhouse by definition, but brunch is where it loosens its collar.
Brunch
Baltaire’s brunch has become a Westside ritual for a reason. The menu is indulgent: Filet Benedict, Lobster Omelette with caviar, and a rotating lineup of seasonal dishes that feel downright celebratory. There’s a floral photo backdrop at the entrance, a nod to the fact that brunch in LA is as much about the moment as the meal.
But the real draw is the tableside action. The Champagne cart rolls through the dining room like a parade float, followed closely by the Bloody Mary cart, which arrives fully loaded and ready for customization. And then there’s the caviar service, which appears tableside with a mother‑of‑pearl spoon before you’ve even decided if you’re hungry.
The Cinnamon Roll Cart (The Legend)
The cinnamon roll cart is the brunch’s unofficial mascot — a towering, gooey, oversized pastry delivered with the kind of ceremony usually reserved for birthdays or proposals. It’s decadent, dramatic, and impossible to refuse. The cart has gone viral more than once, and for good reason: it’s brunch theatre, and Baltaire knows exactly what it’s doing.
Cost
Most dishes fall in the $31–$50 range, though the Champagne, caviar, and cart‑based theatrics can nudge the bill upward. But that’s part of the appeal — Baltaire isn’t pretending to be anything other than a place where brunch is an event, not an errand.
The restaurant doesn’t hinge on a celebrity chef, but rather on a hospitality team that understands exactly how LA likes to brunch: beautifully, loudly, and with a little bit of spectacle.
