Best American Restaurants in White Bear Lake

Amazing bloody mary and mimosa bar, almost a meal in themselves! We were celebrating a birthday, which got us a free photo booth token and dessert to share. I didn't realize how big this place is! We were seated in the quieter dining side, but the live music playing in the other area wasn't too loud. Looks like a nice happy hour, too, so we'll have to return soon for that!

great server great food and drinks. good portions and didnt feel rushed

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.

Our waitress, Diane, took great care of us. We shared the duck "eggs" a la orange appetizer. It was wonderful. One of us had the sunnies, and one of us had the parmesan crusted swordfish. Both of these fish entrees were so fresh and tasty. Diane recommended the signature desert, which was a pecan pie crust filled with caramel and deliciousness, topped with chocolate. We highly recommend the Lake Elmo Inn, and especially Diane!

Delicious dinner, great service and beautifully decorated for the holidays! I had the lobster and spinach bacon salad. My husband had soup, walleye and baked potato. Warm rolls were served too. Chocolate torte for dessert was awesome!
