About the restaurant

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 went out for a birthday dinner and had a great time! The drinks and food were delicious and the service was excellent. We're planning on coming back sometime in the future for another special occasion.

I really enjoyed the food. The server forgot to bring out my salad. However an other person brought me out one after I said I never received it with no charge. Everything tasted great enjoyed it all. The decorations were dated and table cloths cheap. They were playing the movie the God Father which I get for the theme of the restaurant however with the nudity and people getting shot up and blood and flesh flying after being shot was very unappetizing and not in good taste. Not suitable for the small children that were in the restaurant. I personally would order food for take out.
