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.

I have been waiting to go there since it opened as a restaurant from Lake Elmo Inn. I had an opportunity to take my girlfriend for her birthday. It was the first place I thought of to go. We were welcomed when we came in and loved the ambience of the area. The customer service was fantastic. Broad variety of menu, something for anyone. Price point was great and quality was fantastic. This restaurant is a gem. Downtown Saint Paul has continued to suffer with restaurants leaving the area. I hope this restaurant stays. They also have a venue for special events that looks really cool. Also, the location has great parking so it’s very easy to get there park and come to the venue.
