    Burger
    Ingi E.

    Baldamar is a beautiful restaurant! I've had take-out a couple of times (the burger is worth it!) and finally dined in recently. We started with the Brussels sprouts, which are flavorful and crispy. For entrees, we tried the short rib (melts in your mouth) and had to get the burger (decadent + delicious). Our server was very attentive and multiple friendly people working there made it a positive experience overall!

    We stopped here for the first time in AGES. It was a Friday afternoon around 3pm and I didn't think we would need a reservation, but we did if we wanted to eat inside. It was a beautiful day out, so we sat outside. Our server was great! We started with the birria tacos and French dip sliders. Both were decent. The real star of the show was the Brussels sprouts and the loaded baked potato! We also ordered a steakhouse burger to share, but were so full by that point that most of it went home. Desserts looked great (a FIFTEEN layer chocolate cake!), but we decided we'll try that next time. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back.

    First time here and it was FABULOUS! From the moment we stepped in, we knew this would be a great dining experience. The vibe was classy and elegant; the atmosphere filled with upscale furniture and decor - everything was so neatly placed. Our server was friendly and gave us great recommendations. We had a few cocktails and it was wonderful. The food was absolutely amazing! We had the Bread is Life for appetizers and it was so amazing! The bread was served fresh and hot and the variety of cheese spread was delicious. My husband had the Estate Burger and I had the special, the lobster gnocchi...both were delicious!! We topped off our dinner with the flan dessert and it was devine! I highly recommend this restaurant - such a wonderful dining experience for our date night!

    I was in town and went to Baldamar with friends. We decided to share a bottle of red wine. The ambiance of this restaurant is superb. The decor and atmosphere of the restaurant is very appealing. The service was excellent. Our server was top notch and the food was delicious. We had scallops that were so tasty and a salad with steak. We shared several dishes which was perfect. I've been here before and will definitely come again.

    Everything is great. I'm a big eater so it didn't help that some of the portions are small. Still love the lob mac and cheese. It's just very expensive but good. I would come as a date, but to eat more i would rather go somewhere else. It is super busy and pack. Definitely have to reserve. The service was good.

    Lobster Ravioli. That is all you need to know. Lobster Ravioli. The ravioli are stuffed with lobster in a perfectly fine sauce. But then they sprinkle on the magic seasonings and it is elevated to ethereal status. The salty finish elevates it. The prime rib was unfortunately cold. And the au jus sauce. If you are going to serve cold meat then the au jus should be hot. I did appreciate that rare was an option. A nice selection of entree choices. The steak au poivre with it's accompanying potatoes was excellent. As was the shrimp chimichurri. The desserts were slightly above average, although the macarons were great. Too basic for the price point. The Pineapple Express is a great mocktail choice. We came here for Mother's Day and they need a great job of keeping the chafing dishes full of hot food. We would come here again easily.

    Went there for a date night, they had a great cockktail menu and unique items on the menu! The food was delicious.we ordered the calarami, the lobster pasta and the pomegranate sauce chicken. The quantity of the food was good for a fine dine restaurant. Definitely a good choice for a celebration, date nights or get togethers!

    I said we'd be back, and we came back :) we went without a reservation which was a mistake. We ended up sitting at a high top in the bar area in the doorway and overall just felt too in the doorway. Food 4/5: we started with the pork belly. It was overall well cooked and flavored. We both got steaks and shared mac and cheese and the Brussels sprouts. The sprouts were the star of the show, I just wish the portion was larger. The Mac and cheese was just ok. We did get it without the lobster, but I overall prefer a creamy Mac and cheese and thought the spice didn't compliment the cheese included in the Mac. I got one of the wagyu steak and it was just ok. I asked for medium and it was more towards a medium well. We finished with the chocolate cake and they also brought some ice cream thing we didn't order. Both were decadent and well balanced. Service 5/5: our waiter was attentive and overall did a good job. Ambiance 3/5: overall this place has a cozy elevated vibe. The table we sat at was a bit of an anomaly to the overall aesthetic. We were so close to the doorway and anytime the door opened we were met with the ice cold air. Our table was also not even, so anytime someone was cutting their steak, the other person had to hold onto the table so things didn't fall over/spill.

    Short Rib nachos $26
    Jay W.

    I actually love this place & will continue to go. The food is great, servers are fun & friendly & the menu is fantastic. This time i ordered the Trendsetter cocktail, Sooooo Goood. I highly recommend it. My friend & I decided to try the short rib nachos & unfortunately we were extremely disappointed. For $26 nachos there was hardly any meat.... like barely any. What's worse, is as we seen them bright to other tables around us they all looked so much better. I don't know what happened but i felt that we got totally screwed over.

    Oysters, new york strip, mashed potatoes
    Brenna L.

    This was actually my third time coming here but first time for lunch. We came to celebrate my partner's birthday. He had the new york strip steak which was hands down the best steak I have ever tried in the state. Cooked to perfection. I had the oysters which were also delicious. For starters, I highly recommend the "Bread is Life " with three dipping options. So freaking good we ordered two. As a native Californian, I'm a wine person and REALLY appreciate a food wine list - which this place absolutely has. Overall, this was my third time here but obviously won't be my last.

    Baldamar lived up to the hype for me! My wife and I came in for the Champagner brunch and it did not disappoint. We tried way too many dishes to list. But I loved the scallop, the steak and eggs, and the king crab Benedict. And let's not forget get about the drinks. So much more than champagne which is flowing liberally. There are several tasty cocktails. Between us I think we tried them all :) The 14 Karat Queen may have been the highlight. But my favorite drink was actually the Pinot Noir. It was super tasty especially for being featured in an all you can drink menu. It's certainly not your typical house wine. Oh and pro tip. Save the French toast for last call. It's massive and you can bring it home when you don't finish it. We brought this and the Sticky Toffee Pudding. If I'm not picky the only downfall is that this menu is served in a room off the main dining area. The main dining area being a wide up and super cool looking space. So the side room just can't compete. I'm guessing though this is what helps keep the service super perfect for this all you can eat menu. So I think the trade off is worth it. Yes this is a pricey meal but it's worth it for a splurge.

    Truffle fries and ribeye steak
    Mariah L.

    Service was great! Served was so attentive without being overbearing. She also fixed an issue I had with my drink right away. Roasted artichoke was done great. Calamari was good, but a little too sweet and not enough peppers in our bowl. Steaks were cooked perfect. Loaded baked potato was to die for with the crispiest skin. Oysters are always a good idea

    Baked potato, mashed potatoes inside potato skin
    Mallory J.

    The service was attentive. Went for lunch on a Friday. Got the street corn and the server offered it with chips as a dip, it was much more cheesy than I anticipated it to be. My friend got the BLT and a salad and I got a baked potato which I realize is silly but that's what I was in the mood for and they are usually incredible at a steak restaurant. The potato was twice baked which wasn't noted on the menu, I wouldn't have ordered it if I had known that. They gave us a complimentary dessert since it was our first time in. Large menu with lots of options and I'm sure it's great for dinner but we were just there for lunch!

I'm a patient person but that took roughly 20ish minutes for her to change it...I think she forgot and then all of a sudden remembered. I ordered what I ordered the last time which was the chimichurri cauliflower steak bowl. It was great but missed the lime wedge it had on my last visit. The food was good. I also noticed that when she did have time to check in on my hubby who was drinking beer she didn't notice that my drink was empty as well as my sons. Therefore she didn't ask if we needed a refill. Hopefully the service will be better next time.

That's when we realized we had accidentally booked at their Lakeville location. Thankfully, they were still able to seat us, which we really appreciated. Our server, Asia, was fantastic, very attentive and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The menu is definitely focused on steak and seafood, so if that's not your thing the options are limited, but that was fine with us. The decor stood out to me, especially the old-style photos of cattle on hooks, which gave the place a unique touch since it's a steakhouse. For appetizers, we ordered the Cajun walleye strips, which were fresh and full of flavor. My wife went with the petite filet mignon, while I tried the crab-stuffed Atlantic salmon. Both dishes were excellent, and everything came out hot and well prepared. The booths were comfortable, the vibe was relaxed but upscale, and the overall atmosphere made it feel perfect for a date night. As for dress, I saw a mix of casual and business casual outfits from other guests. Since it's more of a fine dining spot, we were both dress casual, we normally do business to dress casual when we choose fine dining. The restaurant is easy to get to, right off 35E and Little Canada Road, just minutes from Hwy 36 and 694. Parking is a little tight, so I'd recommend arriving early to grab a spot. Overall, between the service, food, and atmosphere, we had a wonderful evening here and will definitely be back.
