Big group and well taken care of by the staff. Very accommodating to all requests. Food from group received good reviews for chilli dogs and burgers. Sides were good too and everything came out hot. Cold beer and hot food is an accomplishment during a rainstorm following the end of a CWS game. Only complaint was Pulled Pork sandwich. Shouldn't have ordered it outside the southeast. Pork was very dry and sauce was already mixed in. Tasted like it was pulled in the morning and left in a warming pan all day. Not a good sandwich or representation of pulled pork anywhere. Tasted like grocery store from a tub bbq.

Food (5/5): We had some wonderful food here. We had the following: TSUNAMI MAKI inside * shrimp tempura, crab mix, cream cheese / outside * crab stick tempura, spicy honey mustard, sweet soy, sesame seeds (8 pcs) WAGYU MEMOIR DIP* - smoked shaved beef, crescenza cheese, horseradish aioli, french bread, fries or simple salad Both were really delicious. For some reason, I missed the the "dip" was a "French dip sandwich" - I thought tit was actually a dip (haha). We split the sandwich as it was huge, and then ended up ditching the bread and adding the beef to the fried rice, below. BEEF FAT FRIED RICE - egg, snow peas, carrot, scallion Service (5/5): Server was kind and efficient. Ambiance (5/5): Cool, modern and upscale vibe. We had a cool corner booth. Loved the atmosphere.

The staff did a great job keeping things moving, and once we found a table, the service and food both came out quickly. The confusing part was that it was self-seating despite a line stretching outside the building. Having dozens of people wandering around hunting for tables felt pretty chaotic, and many people seemed frustrated by it. Even the staff seemed more stressed because of the chaos. Overall, the food was good and there were plenty of options. I'd definitely recommend adding a host during busy events. It would make the experience much smoother for everyone.

Regardless, staff was kind and prompt, the place was clean and well staffed, food appeared quickly, and staff stayed on top of their work. *The appetizer was not my favorite/my dates favorite.

Actually, we enjoyed our meal and service so much we had dinner there twice. First off, the restaurant is really well designed inside. It's a really contemporary space with a great vibe. The service is exceptional (for dinner) and they go out of their way to take care of their guests. Then comes the cocktails, which were also quite excellent. And they have an extensive (VERY extensive) wine list! Impressive. The food is also (mostly) excellent. We dine in fine restaurants all over the world from Chicago to Paris to Tokyo and London and the food here was top quality, prepared exceptionally, and really delicious--largely due to their wood fire oven. I hadn't seen an oven like this since Grant Achatz's Roister/Fire in Chicago. I was very impressed. We started with Wood Fired Oysters, which were delicious. Their house corn bread and honey butter were also quite good. I normally don't care for corn bread but this was a really nice accompaniment. My wife and I shared the ribeye and truffle cava mac and cheese. Both were very good. On our second dinner we had Omaha Farmer's Board, a very good charcuterie and meats appetizer. But the Ricotta Agnolotti was our only complaint to this truly exceptional restaurant. The pasta dish felt like it was trying too hard to be fancy. A parmesan foam on top was cold, brining a nice hot dish down. The overall look of the plated dish was "overfull diaper." Not appetizing. The creme brûlée was very good. Overall, highly recommend this place as a steakhouse with an incredible wood fired grill. This place should be busier than when we went, to be sure. It deserves attention and it deserves to be recognized as one of the top restaurants in Omaha.

If you love late night snacks, this is a good spot to hit. There are about 5 meat types you can choose from (mostly beef and pork). You venture inside and order at the cash register (CASH ONLYYY) and then someone comes out and makes the tacos for you on the street and you can stand/sit there and eat it off a little Styrofoam tray. As of recently, $2.25 for taco, which is a pretty standard price these days up and down 24th st. for a non promotion price (aka taco tuesday). So far everyone we have worked with speaks English well. We have never tried the full menu inside for the sit down part of the restaurant. Fun little late night spot and never "dangerous" on any of our visits.
