    Our server Ellen was friendly and prompt with service. She was respectful of the conversation at the table, allowing us to enjoy our date night. The Prime Rib, NY Strip were great. I loved that lobster Mac and house cut fries. These went great with our old fashioned and espresso martini. Didn’t save room for d dessert, maybe next time. I can see why this place is a staple in the Omaha dining community. I highly suggest this restaurant.

    Had the BEST experience. The food was food, the restaurant was lively but not loud at all. Our server was great and the drinks were good too! We had a table with 9 people and I could hear everybody even sitting on an end. We got multiple apps, 9 entrees, multiple drinks and at least three different types of desserts and everybody liked everything. Things were so good we were trying each other's plates. Very pleased and will definitely come back and recommend to anyone who asks!!

    Best steakhouse in Omaha. My filet was perfectly cooked with delicious appetizers. Reservations required as it gets very busy especially on the weekends. Lots of parking but we had to park down the street.

    Food is thoughtfully prepared and presented using high quality ingredients. Everyone in our group of four enjoyed their entrees, commenting that the venison and scallop dishes were remarkable. Dessert of vanilla custard tart and housemade cranberry ice cream was a lovely close to the meal. Cocktails were good but not great, if there was any low point to the meal. Overall, a great experience, but I question the value for the price. Can an equal or better experience be had for less? Yes.
