Restaurants near Coon Rapids Village Shopping Center

My husband and I had lunch at Baldamar for the first time. We were very impressed with the professionalism of the staff! Our server was friendly and knew the menu inside and out. My husband loved his prime rib sandwich! I enjoyed the harvest salad and sweet potato fries. The chipotle aioli that accompanied the fries was also very flavorful. We ordered the brussel sprouts based on our server’s recommendation and they were also very tasty and crispy. We appreciated the attention to detail in the way the cocktails were served in quality glassware with nice garnishes. The menu has a great variety overall but I’d have loved to see a few more vegetarian entree options. Something heartier than soup or salad.. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is great.. definitely upscale vibe and the menu prices reflect that. Definitely a great restaurant for a date night or dinner with friends! However, due to higher prices on menu items we’d save Baldamar for special occasions.

Food and service were great as always. Tried a new cocktail which was also very good. One of our favorite restaurants. Appreciate that they take reservations.

My wife and I I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. I have been to Buona Sera several times and it never disappoints. We had shared the calamari(with two dipping sauces, which were both delicious). I had the Chicken Parmesan, I highly recommend. My wife had a lemon shrimp pasta, which she really enjoyed. We shared the Crème Brûlée which was a Carmel espresso and it was delicious! Please, visit Buona Sera for your next dinner out!

I really enjoyed the food. The server forgot to bring out my salad. However an other person brought me out one after I said I never received it with no charge. Everything tasted great enjoyed it all. The decorations were dated and table cloths cheap. They were playing the movie the God Father which I get for the theme of the restaurant however with the nudity and people getting shot up and blood and flesh flying after being shot was very unappetizing and not in good taste. Not suitable for the small children that were in the restaurant. I personally would order food for take out.

The employees did a great job of making it a fun evening.
