• Sushi • Downtown / North Loop

There are ninety-nine different ways to write “sushi” in the Japanese script of kanji. Each with its own unique interpretation and meaning. It was with great deliberation that our founder, Billy, chose 寿司 to best represent his personal interpretation of the word - Celebration of Fish!That’s exactly how Billy feels about the art of making sushi and the atmosphere that surrounds it - it should be a celebration! Which is why Billy Sushi is more than just a restaurant, it is an experience for anyone who allows themselves to take part. A three-ring performance of sorts - sushi bar, sake bar and dining room - brought to life by the performances of sushi chefs, bartenders and servers. And the Ring Master and your host, Billy.

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.

    We went for restaurant week and the food was amazing. We ordered oysters off menu from the restaurant week menu and it was delicious. We had the best server, Theresa. She was so personable and the staff at Baldamar was top notch. I worked in the restaurant industry for a long time and have eaten at many restaurants whether it’s 3 Michelin stars to James Beard award winning places and Baldamar was up there. The staff made sure the plates were cleared, water was filled, checked on us consistently but very timely and food came out perfect!! Definitely recommend Baldamar!

    We liked the total experience at the Landing, especially because the menu offers not just traditional lunch items, but also breakfast items as well, akin to a brunch. Our food was tasty, and the service was prompt & efficient. We'll be back!
