• Steak • Roseville
Booked 129 times today
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.

    Very good service. Timeliness of meals was exceptional. The sides were perfectly portioned to share amongst our table of 4. We had the carrots, brussels sprouts, and sweet potato au gratin. Steaks cooked to perfection. The garlic knots were delicious. I would return for sure!

    If you’re missing a dining experience in New York City, try Baldamar. It’s so fabulous. The food, the server, April, the drinks, the desserts! We’ve been feasting here since it opened in 2019, thru covid and now. Ask for Michael. He’s the best

    We had an incredible time at Hell’s Kitchen and can’t say enough great things about the experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was electric and inviting. Our server, Phoebe, was absolutely outstanding—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made sure every detail of our meal was perfect, going above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable dining experience. The entertainment provided by Mark Joseph was the icing on the cake! His talent and energy elevated the entire morning, creating a lively and memorable ambiance. And, of course, the food—WOW! The fruit pancakes were impeccably prepared and bursting with flavor. It was a true culinary masterpiece, and we savored every bite. We’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to relive this amazing experience. Thank you to the entire team at Hell’s Kitchen for a Birthday to remember!

    We had such a fun evening at Milly’s! The wines we tried were delicious (my friend and I shared three of the “wine fights” and had fun guessing which of each was the expensive one) and we deeply enjoyed the food as well. Our servers were friendly and attentive and the ambience of the place was swanky and cool - definitely will be coming back to Milly’s!
