Old-school steakhouse charm meets modern LA dining in a Frank Gehry mentor's historic building
Notable Picks
#1
The Wilkes
8.1
Chef Brian Rigsby (Animal, Son of a Gun) and restaurateur Dana Slatkin deliver elevated comfort food in a stunning 1954 Streamline Moderne building designed by architect Alfred T. Wilkes. The latke-encrusted chicken schnitzel and Snake River Farms steaks draw Brentwood's well-heeled crowd to leather booths flanking a wood-burning fireplace, while the Rossi marble bar pours bacon-infused manhattans that keep neighborhood regulars returning weekly.
Must-Try Dishes:
Latke-Encrusted Chicken Schnitzel, Snake River Farms Wagyu NY Strip, Molasses Bread with Salted Date Butter
What Makes it Special: Old-school steakhouse charm meets modern LA dining in a Frank Gehry mentor's historic building
#2
Matu Kai
8.0
A steak omakase concept serving exclusively 100% grass-fed New Zealand wagyu in composed multi-course dinners, with each cut arriving warm-red and unadorned to let the beef speak. The $64-87 prix-fixe pricing undercuts comparable wagyu experiences significantly, though the moody room runs loud enough that conversation competes with the atmosphere.
Must-Try Dishes:
Steak Tartare, 13-14 oz Ribeye, 24-Hour Bone Broth
What Makes it Special: Exclusively serves 100% grass-fed New Zealand wagyu in composed multi-course dinners resembling steak omakase

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

A 17th-floor hotel perch atop Hotel Angeleno that trades on 180-degree panoramic views stretching from downtown LA to the Pacific, pairing the skyline with sharable plates that pull from Latin, Mediterranean, and Asian kitchens. The kitchen runs technique-forward dishes like prosciutto-wrapped monkfish and corn-truffle ravioli, though hotel-level pricing means you're paying a premium for the elevation as much as the plate. Best on quieter weeknights for date nights—busy weekend crowds can push the volume toward sports-bar territory, which cuts against the rooftop romance the setting promises.
Must-Try Dishes:
Scottish Salmon with Okinawan Mash and Mango Chutney, Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze, Tuna and Golden Beet Tartare
What Makes it Special: 17th-floor perch atop Hotel Angeleno with 180-degree panoramic views from downtown LA to the Pacific, serving locally sourced sharable plates with Latin, Mediterranean, and Asian influences.
