Scheduled to open in October, this will be the restaurant's second location, after the first Baltaire restaurant in Los Angeles. LGE Design Build in conjunction with its engineers, designers and sub-contractors implemented creative solutions to overcome the challenges presented by renovating the older structure.There's a swanky new restaurant coming to the Biltmore and the owners are looking for staff to fill 100 positions in front and back of house.įLINT by Baltaire will offer wood-fired cooking, Santa Maria-style grilling and contemporary dishes inspired by the Mediterranean, all served in an elegant space across the street from Biltmore Fashion Park. Providing structural support for the retractable roof and new, enclosed patio space required anchoring to a concrete slab over an existing parking structure.

The restaurant was demolished back to the studs and the building footprint expanded to add an additional 1,200 sf to the ground floor. Working hand-in-hand with the owner to execute his design vision, Flint by Baltaire is the truest example of a design build project. LGE Design Build relied on their 20+ years of expertise to construct this extensive remodel. The conditioned patio space provide flexible dining options it can be closed and heated during the colder months, but open the shutters during spring and fall and you have a beautiful open-air patio experience.

That energy emanates outwards from the kitchen to the raised dining platform, providing an exclusive view into the art of preparing inventive, beautiful dishes. Enclosing the kitchen in glass allows diners the ability to view and participate in the energy of the food prep. Almost every dish served is prepared either in the wood fired pizza oven or massive wood burning grill. The concept for Flint was to provide a visceral, elevated dining experience to every patron. Modeled after the award winning steakhouse, Baltaire in Brentwood, CA, Flint by Baltaire serves up wood fired contemporary American fare accented with coastal Mediterranean and bold Middle Eastern flavors. Visionary developer, Steven Yari, saw the vacant restaurant space at The Esplanade as a perfect setting for his new restaurant concept.
