• Steak • Roseville

Booked 104 times today

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.

Had a very enjoyable dinner with friends. It was very busy and noisy (as expected) due to the open concept and time but we could still have a good conversation. Booth seating was comfortable, service was great, we didn’t have to wait long for our food (tasty but nothing exceptional). I’d definitely go back and have the walleye bowl for lunch. The server was very thoughtful and brought our dessert out for our anniversary with a candle in it.
