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.

I've been to 3 of the 4 Hazelwoods in the twin cities area. The Woodbury restaurant is by far the best! Ambiance , food presentation, and quality of food were all outstanding. No complaints and I would prefer to go back to this location than any other. (however, it took us an hour to get there). The noise level was too high. It was hard to talk to the other couple we were with due to the high volume of noise.

This is a wonderful place to celebrate special occasions. Our server, Diane, was lovely and took excellent care of us. The food was outstanding, and we saved room for dessert from a number of tempting options. The ambiance was warm and cozy and the noise level was low, which was a big plus. We look forward to our next dinner!

The vegan choice is poor; Please offer more choices with vegan protein ie; tofu (the bowl offered is not up to par) beans, quinoa etc. Crave is always my first choice for lunch with friends, but not after yesterday.
