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.

Disappointed my favorite menu item, Pork Tenderloin was not available. I've had it previously and was the main reason for returning to the restaurant tonight.

This Christmas dinner was wonderful. The environment was magical with all of the decorations. This was our first visit so that was fun too. The wait staff was very attention to detail and responded well to some dietary restrictions. Thanks for a special evening 🌲

It had been a few weeks since I last dined at Crave Woodbury. The weather was cold and the wind made it brutal. So about my dining experience. I was seated promptly with my OpenTable reservation. I orded my usual beverage, an iced tea. It had been awhile since I had calamari. It was on the Happy Hour menu and they must have changed the way it was breaded because it was super good. Think it was dredged in corn meal. I also ordered the wings. They were quite a few and tasty. My server was John. He said he had only been a server for 2 weeks. He did a fine job keeping my iced tea full and it seemed like he was seasoned server!

Very nice experience. The entrance is completely decorated with white lights as you enter off Hudson. The interior also decorated for the holiday. Waitress very pleasant and helpful. Music one person on guitar very quiet. A good place for a special evening. Food had several choices and both mine and husband meal was very good. We'll be back. Our new go to place now.
