I am consistenlty awed by the food and service at Balboa. The forty day dry aged New York strip melts like butter in your mouth. Every appetizer is creative and delicious. The sides are reminiscent of old school steak house sides, but updated just enough to keep you interested. The award winning wine list is extensive but not pretentious. I'm a huge fan of Balboa for both the food and the service. Nowhere in LA have I experienced such professional, courteous and welcoming servers as at Balboa. Every server I've had has been well versed regarding the menu as well as the wine list, and if there is ever any question, the manager, Brent, instantly appears at your table side to recommend the perfect wine to compliment your meal. It's great to know that LA is truly becoming a foodie town.
Pros: food, service, wine list
