Wonderful experience, as always. Food and service are second to none. We had a great date night.

We went to Baldamar on the recommendation of a friend and it did not disappoint. We made a note in the reservation that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and from the moment we checked in they made a point to wish us a happy anniversary. There was a cute card and decorations at the table too, which was such a nice touch. Our server was fantastic and very attentive. The food blew us away

Always great food. Never disappointed. Sebastian Joe ice cream and sorbets are lovely for dessert. A quiet booth is great for a private chat with friends
