• Steak • Roseville

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.

    My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Baldamar. When we sat down there was an anniversary card with decorations on the table. I ordered a rhubarb cosmo. Delicious! We both had steak. It was the best steak I have ever eaten! Our waitress was very nice and enjoyable to chat with. We will definitely be going back!!

    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

    My friend has many physical challenges. I called ahead and alerted the staff regarding any extra help that may be required. The staff was phenomenal in accommodating our needs. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. It was such a pleasant experience for all of us and we were so thankful to take our friend out for lunch. Thank you again to your wonderful staff
