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.

We had reservations on Valentines Day for lunch, so it was busy as expected. Everything was great. We waited maybe 10 minutes to be seated with a reservation, partly because we requested a booth instead of a table. I have waited longer in the past for a table without a reservation. The service and food were all excellent. We had a meal, cocktail and dessert. I have been to this location several times in the past and it has been very busy. I will mention that the only negative about it is because of the openness of the floor plan and how busy it is, it is sometimes quite loud. Otherwise, highly recommend!!

We were seated promptly, and our drink order was taken right away. The lobster roll was delicious and of course the biscuits were warm and also delicious. Our waitress was very nice and friendly.

Four people--three meal choices: the short ribs, the filet mignon, and the walleye dinner. All were outstanding. The ribs and the filet mignon were tender and flavorful, as was the walleye for which the Inn is known. We each had a cocktail and were very satisfied--no scrimping with the alcohol, which was nice. Sue, our waitress, was top-notch--I think she's been there for years so she is very experienced. No dessert for us although the choices looked yummy. Lake Elmo Inn is a special place and worth the trip there, for sure.
