Best Steak Restaurants in Dinkytown

My wife and I did the Champagner Brunch at Baldamar on Nov. 23. It was fantastic; everything we hoped it would be. The wait staff was very well informed about the food and drink offerings, and provided us with valuable insight. The food was very good, though somewhat hit and miss. The Scallop and pasta dish was fantastic; we ordered it twice. The crab cake was more cake than crab. The calamari was very good, as was the lamb curry. The cocktails, and limitless champagne and wine, were great. They did not go cheap on their alcohol offerings. Bottom line, it was a memorable experience for our anniversary celebration, and well worth the expense.

Another brunch before a Gopher football game. Once again, a terrific meal. Bloody Mary, one with vodka, one with gin, with just the right amount of spicy tomato mix. I had the eggs Benedict with short ribs and a generous amount of hash browns; my friend had a traditional breakfast with breakfast potatoes and Nueske bacon. Requested bar seats in order to watch the IU/OSU game and the Manny’s host delivered. Met a group of PSU fans who enjoyed pre game cocktails in the main dining room. worth the $$$$.

Fantastic experience. Great waitstaff. Food was phenomenal, fresh and prepared to perfection.

Murrays for Steaks is still the favorite among locals-You're assured you will enjoy a sensational meal as will your guests when no one needs to look at the menu because they have their favorites and have looked forward to meeting at Murrays. And while all the entrees are filling, no one can turn down their signature dessert, the fresh raspberry and chocolate pie. Always exceptional food and the most gracious hosts.

The service last night was mediocre. I had to flag down a server to get a refill for my wife, and no one came to check if our food was satisfactory. However, the food was good!
