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 staff was very accommodating when we asked for a table and not a booth. The options for food and drink were plentiful and the wait time in between services were just perfect. Overall I would say everything about our experience was amazing!

Good, friendly service and tasty food. I had the beet and quinoa salad and it was good. I would have preferred a more flavorful vinaigrette though. My husband and I ordered coffee and it had a very strong chemical flavor, so we told the server and she brought us new coffees. Evidently they used the wrong type of water to make the coffee the first time! Nice rewards program.
