We are new to Delaware and have been searching for a local food scene, we moved from NYC area and have been missing gourmet/foodie options. Man oh man was Baldea exactly what we were looking for! We sat at the bar as we had no...reservations, the service was stellar. The bartender (I believe it was Sam but husband heard Sara, we were many delicious cocktails in at that point) was a total rockstar. The entire bar was absolutely slammed but Sam was on top of our drinks and when a wine glass broke over the ice bin she drained the entire thing to ensure no glass was in it. My hubs and I both worked as servers and know how often people skip on protocol when they are busy so major respect to Sam! (I’ll be so embarrassed if her name is Sara) The food was delicious, literally everything we got was stellar. The flavors were also super unique, even their more traditional dishes like meatballs had flavor profiles outside of what you’d typically expect. We started with the avocado which truly set the tone of the night, as we weren’t sure what to expect from the portion/presentation and were blown away by the taste! The cabbage dish was unlike anything I’d ever had before and the steak was melt in your mouth perfection. There was a slight delay between courses which we honestly didn’t even notice and the manager came over to apologize for the wait and comped that course without us asking. I’ve never quite experienced a staff so on top of things! I was so happy that their desserts were on par with the food! We got two to try, a special that was like a cinnamon bun croissant and the baklava and they were just perfect. We will definitely be back, 10/10 experienceMore
