Twisted Cork

We found the Twisted Cork on a visit to Omaha for a birthday celebration. We are so glad we found this place! The food was wonderful and responsibly sourced. Elise was our server and she was knowledgeable and attentive. I frequently have the experience when I travel that people find my gluten sensitivity to be an annoyance in restaurants. Elise made sure that we were well taken care of never gave the impression that she was being put out. Instead, she made us feel welcome and cared for. We enjoyed it so much that we came back for brunch the next morning before leaving town. I would highly recommend this place!

Food was tasty. Portion size for the Sockeye Salmon was small, but my husband loved the tacos! The nachos and popovers were divine. We'd definitely go back, especially since their seafood is flown in fresh every 24 hours!

The Early Bird was great. The food was amazing ,the when pigs fly platter is all the bacon all the ways!! The hash and eggs was perfect. Pancakes were phenomenal. Best brunch spot around. The food was definitely worth the wait.

Ok, so I don’t wish to be dramatic…but this place is so awesome!!! The food is fresh, sources in an eco-conscious way that is environmentally friendly. The service is so prompt and the waiter was very willing to answer questions about the various menu items and their nutritional content. Now for the ground truth…the price…so very reasonable and in most cases less than a chain restaurant. This establishment, owned by a couple from Seattle in the heart of America in Omaha, Nebraska. I have to admit, I did chuckle about the guests at nearby table talking Nebraska Cornhusker football. Bottom line…this is a great restaurant!

My wife and I come in almost every week and sit at the bar. As a result, we've gotten to know restaurant manager / bartender Jennie. She's an engaging and excellent host, and after just a couple of visits, she anticipated our needs based on our past preferences - knowing our favorite wine and mixed drink. This is exactly what we look for in a non-chain restaurant - personal attention delivered with genuine thoughtfulness and care. We've found the greet staff and other waiters/waitresses that Jennie manages to be equally attentive. Obviously, there's one thing that's even more important than great service - and that's great food. Twisted Cork Bistro has that in spades - over the year and a half that we've been coming here, we've tried nearly every dish - and they are all winners. Of course, we both have our favorites - my wife really loves the Mahi Mahi and the Sea Scallops. I'm a big fan of the Prairie Fire and Hawaiian Ahi. The Bison steak is also over-the-top amazing. The key to most of their dishes is top-notch ingredients and really creative sauce and spice pairings. And speaking of pairings, if you're a wine fan, and you've always wanted to try wines from the Northwest, the selection here of reds and whites at every price point can't be beat. We moved from Newport Beach in Southern California, where there are any number of amazing restaurants, especially those that serve sea food. The owners are former Seattle, Washington restaurateurs who relocated to Omaha - and they have all their seafood flown in from either the West Coast or Hawaii every 24 hours, so have no doubt about freshness! Their meat offerings feature the best locally grown beef and bison. Their small bites are equally amazing, and they have a nice abbreviated happy hour menu that will let you get in and out with a great filling meal on a budget. If you haven't been there, be sure to give it a try. And tell Jennie that Bob and Marya sent you!

I highly recommend the Prarie Frie Steak. Recently remodeled building and deor. Looked good. A new (disappointing) addition is a surcharge for using plastic payments.
