About the restaurant

If you're going to take your name from a badass like the patron saint of blacksmiths, you better be able to back it up. Baldamar marks the turning point where we usher in the new standard for style, service and steak. It means the menu’s made with old-world craft at its core and modern day meat eaters in mind — with flavors forged in fire and folded into pure primal perfection. It’s where every steak is aged 40 days and 40 nights for a taste of biblical proportion, and where crazy-fresh seafood means it was caught during your morning commute. At the bar sits every spirit imaginable, and someone who isn’t afraid to use them. This is more than a new steakhouse. It’s a line in the sand. It’s not just where you celebrate special occasions. It’s where you create them.

*A 20% Service Fee is added to all groups of 6 or more.

The food was delicious and the service was professional and excellent. Had the crab cakes for an appetizer and I had the walleye while my friend had the black and blue steak. It was his birthday so we appreciated the small cake to finish the meal. Glad we had reservations as they were full. Enjoy supporting a local restaurant.

Steak was great, prepared exactly as I had ordered it, because we were seated right next to the prep area it was a little noisy and busy with staff going in and out of the prep area. The server was great and we've had her before and she always goes out of her way to make sure we have a great experience.
