• 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 8 or more.

    Right away from entering the establishment the level of service was outstanding! I had dropped my girlfriend off at the the door and the staff knew right where she was. Pointed me in the right direction. While waiting for our table we had a drink at the bar & the staff there made great recommendations. Another hostess came to get us for our table. Once we were seated our server fully explained the menu for our first time being there. She was absolutely amazing! We took her recommendations for an appetizer and our steaks were cooked to perfection! The flavor profile was stunning! The level of service was absolutely outstanding! To end our evening experience we got to chat with Santa & Mrs Claus! When leaving the restaurant every staff member thanked us for coming in tonight. We look forward to dining again there!

    Our server Katie was amazing and funny however we didn’t feel the food was worth the price. Salmon with no real sides just squash underneath it. Only 2 tacos per order.

    My wife and I had an excellent experience at the Beacon Public House. We were greeted by our hostess upon arrival and taken to our reserved table. Our waitress was Meili. She was super attentive and very friendly. We had ordered some appetizers and some cocktails to start off followed by a rueben sandwich with sweet potato fries. Very good. Meili stopped over to check up on things several times during our meal which was much appreciated. The restaurant is very close to UMn sporting events which makes this location ideal. After the game we attended, we came back for a nightcap. Our bartender Mara did an excellent job with our cocktails and was also very friendly. This restaurant has a great location, good food and an excellent service staff. We will definitely be coming back again.
