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.

7. The Lexington

• American • Saint Paul

Booked 35 times today

The Lexington is more than a restaurant, it’s an institution. Located on the corner of Lexington Parkway and Grand Avenue, this St. Paul community was the most fashionable at the turn of the 19th century. The St. Paul elite lived just blocks away and the first electric trolley brought visitors up and down Grand Avenue. The Lexington opened in 1935, after the end of prohibition, and was a popular neighborhood bar to gather and socialize. Previously operating as a speakeasy, the expansive wood panels were perfect for hiding a little booze and one can only imagine the shenanigans going on beyond the hidden staircase behind the coat check. For decades following, The Lex, as it’s called by locals and enthusiasts alike, was the place to be seen; business dealings, cocktail hours, and milestone celebrations were a regular occurrence for St. Paul socialites.

An absolute perfect date night. We wanted to do something nice before the holiday craziness and Baldamar delivered. My Italian husband loved the holiday special mozzarella appetizer platter and the extra bread we ordered was perfect. The rhuberry cosmo was a perfect drink not too strong or sweet. We got the brick chicken and prime filet to split between me and my husband for our mains and it was perfection. Our water glasses were never empty, our server was super sweet, the only complaint would be that we couldn’t make room for dessert after all the wonderful food. We will be coming back soon!

Our party of four found a lot to love about Milly’s, from the wine pairs and reasonably-priced pours to the many menu options that worked for every kind of dietary restriction to the desserts and dessert wines. The deviled eggs and bacon-wrapped dates were a great way to start, the flatbreads got raves and we wished we had room to try a cheese and charcuterie boards, too! We did get a chocolate board and crème brûlée for dessert. We’ll definitely return!
