    Short Rib and Chorizo Nachos
    Nate D.

    We came here for our anniversary and as soon as you walk in you are met with a darker and elegant atmosphere. We were seated quickly and our server was attentive and helpful with recommendations through out the night. The two cocktails we ordered were good, but the highlight of the night was the appetizers. The Bread of Life with the chimichurri and spreads were bomb, the bread itself was soft with a little crunch. We wanted more! We demolished the chorizo nachos. All the toppings paired well together with the toasted chips. For the main entrees we were a tad underwhelmed not because of the quality of the food but because of the portion size for the price. The Sea Bass with a yuzu glaze was a pairing of delicious Asian flavors, and the lobster roll was good but there was too much bread and not enough lobster. Overall the experience was great and we enjoyed all the food. It was pricy but that's to be expected.

    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.

    Oysters, new york strip, mashed potatoes

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Went for a birthday dinner. Steak was very good and one of the better ones I've gotten in the twin cities! Got the 8 oz Filet. The béarnaise sauce was one of the best I've had. Also got the spicy lobster Mac n cheese and the mashed potatoes. Not usually a big lobster person but the flavor was very good and not very fishy. Would recommend both sides. Server was very good and checked on us the right amount. Gives normal steak house vibes and appreciate the complimentary desert which was Sebastian's joes coffee ice cream (really good stuff). Parking lot is shared with the mall but has dedicated spots for the restaurant and didn't have to park too far away. Would definitely come back.

    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

    Bread is Life. YES.
    Jingle M.

    Again, a win! Amy was so cheerful and guided us to Bread of Life starter, which was outstanding! Soups are all delish and the half French Dip prime Rib Sandwich was huge! Such a beautiful place to be.

    8oz. Filet Mignon
    Benjamin S.

    Baldamar is a very upscale spot and if you're willing to pay for the experience, it will provide. FOOD: I got the 8oz filet mignon (not their "specialty version" but the prime one). It was very well cooked and flavorful. I would have expected a vegetable or something else on the plate (especially for $57 pre-tax and pre-tip) since the steak itself is small. But the flavor was all there and made me forget about sides. (Although I was still hungry and ate an apple fritter at home after lol). I also had the caesar salad and shared a bottle of wine with my partner. Both the salad and wine met expectations. AMBIANCE: lively and busy but not too loud. Close-knit but not crowded. I felt it to be a well designed space. SERVICE: great and friendly PRICE: expensive. Our subtotal was $180 for 2 entrees, 1 salad, 1 bottle of wine. So bring your extra wallet. It was a great experience but I've had similar quality food/experience for less, especially not being in North Loop/downtown. PARKING: easy, they have a lot.

    My lady had never been and decided to take me for restaurant week. This is a place I've always enjoyed. Made reservations and would recommend cause its usually pretty busy. Space is elegant and feels upscale. Staff is always friendly and seem to love working there. Grabbed apps, entree and dessert. Came out in decent time. I always get their wings, but everything else we got was my first time trying. Presentation was great and good flavor. My date loved her steak. I got the seabass and it was good. I dont go here as often cause I dont live close by but Its a go to when I'm in the area.

    First time in this restaurant. We were told it was a 45 minute wait and my first thought was, wow,…read morei can probably go down the road to the Garden that grows olives and get in right away. That's decent food. We went shopping across the road and I think within 15 minutes got a text our table was ready. So that was a pleasant surprise. The ambience was great. This is a clean classy place. It looked expensive but I was.... I mean my WIFE was all in and Happy Wife, Happy Life so yeah..... we're going for it. Service was well.... it was over the top. The wait staff and others all chipped in to watch the tables. Different people filled our water, brought us more bread, brought out food out when it was ready, picked up our dishes. It was a TEAM effort and it showed. Service was outstanding. My wife ordered the Salmon Sofia. Not sure what that is exactly and I don't care. It's salmon. To me, it's gonna taste bad no matter how great you prepare it but she said she loved it and would definitely get it again. I had the Italian Pasta if I remember correctly. Slightly spicy cajun pasta with sausage, chicken, shrimp, peppers and onions. It was amazing! There was quite a bit of it in the bowl. My wife says, "Wow, that's a lot. You'll have some to take home!" But I'm no quitter. If the food is good, i'm finishing it. And i'm happy to report that i did finish it. It was really good. I did not however get to try the mountain sized carrot cake. I really wanted some of that but I was too full. Oh, the bread. The bread was not warm and it was different than what i thought, but by the time i finished my 7th piece, I really liked it. All in all this was a very nice meal, perfect for a date night.

Positives - good variety on the menu - great wine selection - service - walnut Gorgonzola salad - after dinner drink list - manager took off after dinner drink and dessert due to food problems (see below) Opportunities - hubby ordered the beef tenderloin special. Cooked perfectly, but the tenderloin was a flat piece of meat; interesting cut. - I ordered surf and turf. Very interesting that most of their seasonings are Cajun. I've never been to an Italian restaurant that had only Cajun seasonings on their seafood/fish - my hubby's food was hot, mine was luke warm. I sent mine back. They literally recooked my same plate of food. That's fine; I didn't know you could do that (food safety reasons, etc). Not the best experience for our first time, but we will go back and try again

    I have reviewed Lindey's before and they are (to be redundant) consistently consistent. Whether…read moreyou first visited in 1979 (my first visit - they opened in 1958), or 2026, not much has changed. The inside of the restaurant is nearly identical, the food is nearly identical, much of the staff is identical, the signature meal is nearly identical. The only significant changes are the ever-increasing prices of the steaks. The rustic cabin vibe never gets old. However, one thing that I did not previously review are Lindey's lunches. This has to be the only restaurant where the lunch menu offers more choices than the dinner menu! Now, keep in mind that the dinner menu has only four choices (really only three, if you don't count the prime sirloin which no one orders because it's only a dollar or two less than the "special." However, in addition to the "full" dinner menu, at lunch you can get steak sandwich, two sizes of hamburger, a grilled chicken sandwich, and a grilled cheese sandwich. If my math is correct, that's double the options! On the plus side, the steak sandwich is excellent and costs less than third of the Lindey's special. It is tasty, juicy, comes on an excellent hoggy bun and seems be the same cut as the dinner steak (albeit, a smaller quantity of course). All sandwiches come with either chips or their funky (but lovable salad with Russian dressing), and a pickle spear. Please note that if you want their potatoes, it's $2.95 extra, and additional ingredients -- from onions to tomato to lettuce are about a dollar extra per ingredient. Still, it's a solid value. Also, if you are used to the dinners, please note that the potatoes are not limited and the price is per person, not for the table. All in all, I recommend Lindey's for both dinner and lunch. However, if you have only had dinner there, I urge you to try if for lunch too!.

Not a big deal on its own, but since they were the only bartender working for the entire restaurant and a full bar. We weren't confident enough in their abilities to get order anything else. We went on a day that was very snowy and not a lot of people were there. I'd be willing to try Axels again, but maybe not for brunch. Plenty of parking and the bathrooms (shared with the hotel area) were very nice and clean.
