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.

Wonderful experience all around. The cauliflower and sweet potato appetizers were great. Pizzas (Korean BBQ and mushroom) were excellent! The glazed pork ribs were out of this world. Perfectly (fall off the bone) cooked and paired with a tasty salad and kimchi dish. Will definitely return again before they close in Sept

They closed the Red Lobster in my suburb so had to drive a bit to get to this one for a Ladies lunch. So impressed with the cleanliness, service and food! We had an awesome waiter, Nate, who was very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend this Red Lobster! It reminded me of the initial years they were open and excelled, unfortunately the one in my town went downhill in a big way but this one is so refreshing!
