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 8 or more.

Staff was very attentive and accommodating. First time and we went for date night. Food was really hot when it arrived and took a little long, which meant it was being prepared and not just heated up. (Also forced us to not rush and actually enjoy conversation and be in the moment) There wasn't a lot of people, so it wasn't very loud a d the lighting and ambiance were inviting.

Great service - knowledgeable and friendly. Great wine- like the dual options. Good sharing menus. Best way to describe this place is quaint yet energetic, so it is good for conversations with a girl friend or a date spot. Highly recommend.

It was a nice place, service was pretty good for a Friday night. I'll admit there is no great parking in this area. So many spaces are blocked off for valet for another restaurant. This made it more of a hassle for folks who don't typically come to this area.
