We did a dinner in their private dining room. Korean Tacos 3.5 stars An average offering for myself. WIth so many other better options, this is a skip for me. Grilled Octopus 5 stars Not overcooked, with great flavor Lamb Balls 4 stars Good option with a decent lamb flavor. My friend who does not like the flavor of lamb was not happy with it, but if you like lamb this is for you (my friend who loves it gave it 5 stars) I do love lamb, but it just wasn't a top pick here for me. Mushroom Risotto 5 stars Delicious. I love mushrooms and the risotto was nice and creamy. Fried brussel sprouts 4 stars If you like very bursts of flavor, this is it. It was overly salted for me, but I can see other people loving this. Sweet and Creamy Drink 5 stars after adding cream. Also it was only 2.50 NY Strip 4 stars The first one was tough and chewy. My friend who ordered it informed the server. The server brought out a new piece that was much more tender. Lamb Shank 4 stars They didn't have the lamb bone. Solid choice. Lobster bolognese 4 stars It was what you would expect. Nice and creamy. The lobster pieces were prominent as well. There was a little something missing here for me though. It was my friends dish so I didn't have enough to figure it out. Sea bass 4.5 stars Most of this dish was amazing. I wasn't a fan of the vegetable dumplings that were served with it. I didn't eat it (though other people at my table did). The fish itself was 5 stars when paired with the kaiware sprouts. So good. Creme brulee 4 stars Solid great offering Cheesecake 3 stars The texture was off for me on this one. Something chocolate 4 stars (Probably 5 if you love chocolate) This was a better texture than the other cheesecake. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I'd get this before the cheesecake. Bread pudding 5 stars This was a resounding success with the majority voting on this one. Crisp 5 stars Perfectly paired with 2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream Tiramisu 5 stars Loved the presentation of this and it was a very good solid choice. Service was 4 stars. They always resolved everything, but not everything was handled in the most professional manner.

Intimate locals favorite restaurant with a nice variety of dishes. Olive and hummus appetizer was great. Fried olives seemed like something we should try and they were delicious. The calamari wasn’t as successful (slightly undercooked) and bland. The beef tenderloin dinner was terrific. Lovely beef cut on a bed of lobster risotto and a side of broccolini. The small house salad was a good starter and the champagne vinaigrette wasn’t over sweet. My companions enjoyed their meals as well. The strip steak comes with onion ring toppings. The noise level was tremendous and shouting was required. Service was very good. Large wine selection though non alcoholic drink choices are limited to the usual sodas and San Pelligrino water.

Love this place. Eat here at least once a week. Great atmosphere always with a groovy playlist. Possibly the best food in Omaha - crazy good!

We had a great meal tonight! Salmon and Steak and Pumpkin Cheesecake -- everything was delicious and we will be back!

Worked here, great experience and wonderful staff! It takes a lot of effort depending on the shifts you take but definitely worth it. Most places treat you really badly if you leave/get layed off but these guys are great people, and if you stick with them it’s pretty good money for restaurant work. The actual food and dining experience provided is phenomenal, great care is taken in the choice of menu and preparation. 10/10 would recommend, if you’re considering stopping by you won’t regret it!
