Restaurants near Hamline University

Excellent as always. We love going there for breakfast.

I have been here a couple times and both experiences were outstanding. A little higher priced than most, but I think it is well worth the extra cost. The Chicken Marsala is to die for. Best I have ever eaten, hands down. It is my go to dish, but I am sure everything is good on the menu. Enjoy!!

This was our first visit to Baldamar. We were celebrating my husband's birthday. I knew the menu looked good but we had no idea what to expect going in. It was one of the top experiences we have ever had at a restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy, sexy, and fun. We were greeted at our table with some confetti and a birthday card. Mason was our server and he made the experience so special. He took the time to walk us through the menu and the specials and offered us personal recommendations which we needed since everything looked wonderful! We had the holiday charcuterie board which we absolutely devoured. My husband ordered the prime ribeye and I had the miso sea bass- delicious! We will definitely be back and recommend Baldamar to any of our friends and family looking for a top-of-the-line chop house experience without the traditional pretentiousness.

Although extremely busy, our reservations for 6 were readily handled. Wide selection of wines, beer and cocktails; ours were enjoyable. Wait staff was professional, skilled, and graciously satisfied all special requests. Food, especially our turkey dinners, we're delectable. I recommend The Lexington for any special event or delicious meal prepared better than homemade. Thanks for working on Thanksgiving!

The manager helped us prepare 11 to-go orders on Thanksgiving Day and timed it perfectly so we were able to leave with hot food after we finished our coffee. The server, Ann, was wonderful and everyone was very attentive. We sat in the bar, and it was quiet and lovely. We would go back for sure.
