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.

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.

    We had a 6:30 reservation. We showed up about 10 minutes early and were seated immediately. The restaurant was busy, but the service was on point. We had the cauliflower as our app and the Amalfi pizza as the main course. I had a Modist beer and my wife had house Negroni. Everything was exceptional. One of the better dining experiences I've had in years. Our server was friendly, timely and knowledgeable. The food came out fast, and the service team worked exceptionally well together. Hard to tell who the manager was because everyone was working hard, independently and took ownership of whatever task they were doing. A+. We'll be back.

    Amazing service and fun food experience. Authentic sushi and fresh from Japan. Our server was so knowledgeable which I appreciated when you’re not familiar with the variety of sushi and fish options. Lots of non sushi options too for our daughter that prefers warm food.
