Baltaire

On our lists of the best live music venues and special-occasion restaurants in Los Angeles.

A wall of floor-to-ceiling glass doors opens the mid-century dining room onto an outdoor terrace at this Brentwood steakhouse, with an adjacent lounge for cocktails and live music on Thursdays and Fridays. Executive chef Samuel Jung's menu runs from high-grade steaks to an oyster and raw bar; weekend brunch adds king crab deviled eggs and a tableside bloody mary cart. Reservations run through OpenTable, and the cheapest steak on the menu is not the cheap seats.
