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.

You brought back the broccolini!!!!!!!!! Thank you! As vegetarians, we haven’t been back since you took it off the menu. It’s such a great innovative flavor for a pizza, we’re so happy it’s around again. Also the rice cake starter is A STAR. WOW.

This was a first experience for me and I sat in Char Bar. The waitress was great, she was accommodating and attentive. I throughly enjoyed the drinks. I had the teaches of peach drink and it was so well made and perfectly balanced. I ordered the blue crab beignets and they were absolutely delicious, so light fluffy and full of crab meat. For my entree I ordered the salmon and it was crispy on the outside and so soft and well cooked on the inside. The flavor was just right. I would definitely dine here again. There’s much more on the menu I’d like to try.

The food was good. It is expensive, and it was a little disconcerting when our waiter rolled his eyes when asked to box our one leftover. Valet was not available at the end of the evening (within the closing time) and we were told to find him in the lot in a car with lights on. The only car I could find was a couple making out. Clearly not our valet. And then he was rude. Disappointed.
