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.

A great place for a special occasion always -- but esp. at the Holidays. Great decor, lovely free music, cool drinks, great service and the photo booth all make for a fun time. And being employee owned is a cherry on the top of the sundae. I wish they had more vegan dishes. There is very little there for me to eat.

What a great place! Expansive menu, great value, casual, welcoming ambience, and great service. The food is very good—we had a delicious pan-fried walleye and the fish and chis—the latter just beautifully deep-fried. We had a wonderful time!

We had a lovely time. Service was great the guys were nice and attentive, but not smothering. Food was beautiful and tasty. The amount was about right for the price. Checking out is a bit of a process, not that I can’t handle it, it’s just rare to find something that takes several steps. The place is an arcade and sports bar. It’s not overly loud, but there are times where you have to talk louder to hear the rest of your party. It is a very busy environment was visual stimuli. (Again excepted)
