Master Critic Review
Baltaire
7.8
A Brentwood power steakhouse with Flannery dry-aged beef, live jazz Thursday-Friday evenings, and a dining room that draws the designer-bag clientele. Steaks arrive properly hot and sizzling when the kitchen is on; some visits report inconsistency with temperature and cut quality. The lounge energy works for business dinners where atmosphere matters as much as the ribeye.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bone-in Ribeye, 48-Ounce Tomahawk Ribeye, Dry-Aged Flannery Kansas City Strip
