Celebrated our anniversary at Salted Edge, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Our server greeted us with an anniversary card and two glasses of prosecco, which immediately set the tone for the evening. Although we didn't sit by the water, the ambiance in our section was warm, intimate, and perfect for the occasion. We began with the Carnival Crunch Eggrolls, and they were phenomenal -- crispy, flavorful, and elevated even further by a sauce that deserves its own spotlight. Our entrées arrived quickly: the miso‑glazed Faroe Island salmon for me, and the braised short rib with lobster mac for my better half. The salmon was incredibly tender and buttery, while the short rib was perfectly seasoned and melt‑in‑your‑mouth tender. The brown sauce accompanying it was so good I'd happily put it on everything I eat. The lobster mac and cheese was, without exaggeration, the best mac I've ever had. Salted Edge is on the pricier side, but for a special occasion, the quality and experience make it absolutely worth it. read more

It's my 3rd time going to Salted Edge, and I keep getting more and more impressed with it. It's located right outside of Omaha on a lake. Pretty difficult to get a reservation on the weekend unless you think ahead but they also have a bar with open seating if you want to go that route which is what I did. The restaurant itself has an outdoor patio with impeccable views of the lake. Perfect for a night out with friends or a date night. This time I got wagyu bolognese, lobster bisque, honey cornbread, and wagyu sliders. The wagyu sliders were so moist and cooked to perfection. They're paired well with an aioli that's gives it a little flair. The highlight of the show was the Wagyu Bolognese. I often struggle with pasta being too heavy of a dish but this one was perfect. The pasta was very tender and was clearly homemade which was bonus points for me. Bar service was great and I've never had any complaints. Can't wait to be back for more here soon! read more

Everything we ordered was great, but we were definitely made to feel like the least important table in a not full restaurant. We waited an hour to get our order during brunch. As a table of five, we were repeatedly told it was very busy and the kitchen was backed up with large parties but any of the groups that were bigger than ours arrived after us. I enjoyed my everything Benedict, but mostly my Bloody Mary stole the show. It's out of the way for us, so I don't know when we would come back to try it again, but overall a decent experience, just pretty lackluster service. read more

We went for brunch and it was absolutely delicious. We shared the deviled eggs. I had the short rib hash skillet which was perfect. My dad said it was the best chicken and waffles he had ever had! Pictures show how perfect this elevated healthy and delicious the food here is. The service was phenomenal and our server Clayton was fantastic. The restaurant is beautiful and modern. Also appreciated we could hear each other. read more

Had an amazing time at Salted Edge with my friends for dinner. Made a reservation online for the Chef's table and it was awesome to see the food come out and be prepared!

We have been wanting to try Salted Edge for a while, and we finally got around to it! To start, the location is very nice. Everything is so clean and bright, and the service from everyone from the host to our server was fantastic. We started with the bread board and Brussels. Honestly, these are both must haves in my book! The bread seemed pricey, but you get a ton of it along with several unique and delicious butters. The Brussels sat on a bed of apples and had an incredible peanut sauce on them. My burger and fries were very good. My husband had the short rib. The short ribs was fall-apart tender, and the jalepeno potato cake it sat on may have been the best part of the meal. I'm excited to go back and try more! read more

My friend treated me to Salted Edge for my 40th birthday. We started with a few drinks, which were all fancy and delicious. For our meals, I ordered the Wagyu Bolognese ($30), and my friend had the Braised Short Rib ($39). We also shared the Herb Butter Buns ($8), which were fabulous--hot, soft, and served with whipped butter and flaked sea salt. Pure perfection. Unfortunately, the entrees were disappointing. Salted Edge is definitely more of a "treat" for us given the price, and we were both excited to try Chef Joel Hassanali's creations. With his background--growing up in Trinidad, working in his parents' Caribbean restaurant, and training under world-renowned chefs in NYC--we were expecting bold flavors and spice. Instead, both dishes were surprisingly bland. Her short rib, which comes with a jalapeño potato cake, Bloomsdale creamy spinach, and horseradish crumble, lacked the punch we were hoping for. The ambiance is lovely, the staff attentive and polished, and everything looks beautiful. The pasta was freshly made, the meat tender, and the presentation impressive. But for those of us who don't get to splurge on fine dining often, the food didn't deliver the wow factor we expected. Overall, it was an elegant experience, but I'm in no rush to return. read more

They do have a great happy hour but get there early especially if it's Friday. I've also had dinner twice and both meals were very good. Higher price points but quality food and beautiful ambiance with the lake off the side of restaurant. Wonderful service very efficient. read more

We came back for Valentine's Day and man they did not disappoint! They have a deal for a Prixe fixe menu and it was perfection. Out of the 3 apps we chose the short rib aranchini and cacio e pepe. Shared a 32oz porter house steak with crab legs, potato puree and carrots as sides and chose their crème brûlée as our dessert. It also came with a chefs app and a prosecco. The food was so rich and indulgent. It was the perfect Valentine's Day selection. We already talked about coming back next year! read more

Salted Edge never disappoints! We love their pizzas but also have enjoyed their steaks, bread boards and every app is delicious! They're too difficult to choose from. We like to go every year for our anniversary but it's a treat when we can get out there more often. The patio is a perfect view but the inside seating is lovely too. We've always had a great experience with their service. read more

Dinner at the salted edge was just as good as brunch and just as abundant... If you want to try all the things, like I do, I would recommend taking a good dining companion who is willing to share because we had all the breads and all the things and also all the leftovers! If you're planning to dine at sunset, maybe consider where you are seated because there can be a lot of light coming in through the windows but also apparently the outdoor experience is great for sunset though I haven't experienced that yet myself. Service is always so friendly and I can't wait to come back again! read more

I've been here multiple times and enjoyed the meals. Salted Edge has a sophisticated but welcoming ambience with a somewhat older crowd. Beautiful place to watch the sunset and they have a bar with heated seating on the patio. We went for HH recently and enjoyed the chicken wings (great value!) and some regular priced salads. The house wines I tried were just so so, I'd go with a cocktail next time. read more

I really enjoy this place. The service presentation is solid. Wait staff seems to have a handle on the menu and ingredients. They do a good job of talking about menu changes and upcoming culinary changes. The bread plate is a must! A creative variety of baked items including flavorful butters. I've been about a half dozen times and there's no loser on the menu from what I've experienced. Plating creativity and portions are solid. If the weather is nice I suggest trying to sit outside. Definitely in the top 30 Omaha area restaurants! read more

This is a great happy hour place! HH runs Tue-Fri 4-6 pm. We arrived at 4:30 and were they're only customers. It was a windy warmish fall day but decided to sit outside on the patio. The patio is amazing! Glass windbreak panels block most of the wind and the 2 large gas firepits and several large portable heaters made sitting on the couches so cozy. The view of Westshores lake can't be beat. We chose to have the house wine but there is a tempting list of cocktails to try. We didn't try any food this time and thisisn't your typical bar food menu either. We have eaten dinner here before and it was fantastic so I'm sure these appetizers are nothing less. We left at 5:30 and the bar was pretty busy which was good to see. IMO this is one of the best happy hours with a great view. Will be back soon! read more

My husband, daughter and I had an amazing dinner at Salted Edge right from the beginning. All the food was cooked to perfection, we had the 16 oz dryer aged prime ribeye, lobster Mac and cheese, and the French onion soup. My daughter had the pizza from the salty kids menu. Food was hot and the wait was approximately 5-10 minutes for the appetizers and cocktails. Our entree arrived shortly after, they were freshly made. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable she explained the menu gave us recommendations and ensured that we had everything we needed. The ambiance was quiet and romantic perfect for a date night or birthday celebration. read more

We had the best dinner! Our server, Kindle, was amazing and since it was our first time there she explained the food and provided info on the Chef. Everything we ordered was on point! We had the bread board, Brussel sprouts, coffee rubbed wagyu, halibut (the special that night) and crème brûlée. I'd highly recommend going. We have such a hard time finding a place that combines both great service with outstanding food, so happy to finally find the spot that delivers both. We can't wait to go back. read more

The food was exquisite. Service was excellent. Drinks, delicious. Views, lovely. The only thing I'd complain about is the noise - it's very loud, and the style of music makes everyone need to talk louder. Still, I would gladly return again. It seems tailor made for groups, and would be a really fun place to go with friends. They have a bread board that would have been too much for two, but amazing for a group! Highly recommend! read more

I went to Salted Edge for my 22nd birthday! They gave me a card with happy birthday written on it and free donuts at the end (totally forgot to take photo) :( Our waiter was so sweet and they give you warm towels before you eat which I think is awesome. I got the lobster mac and cheese and it was delicious! I also ate a slider and loved it as well. The brussels sprouts were good, and my family loved the food! Salted Edge also has the coolest view of West Shores and is such a cute picture spot if you want a sunset or lake background! read more

Although the Salted Edge is considered a pretty far drive from where I live in Omaha, I would say that it was worth trying at least once! The restaurant itself is very clean and it's nice how it's right by the lake. The food was definitely pricey, so me and my boyfriend just split a pizza! We got the hot honey pepperoni pizza and truffle fries (pictures included). Both were pretty good and it filled us up. The food did take a little longer to come out, but I won't hold this against the restaurant since it was super busy. Our server was also very nice and stopped by a few times to check on us while we waited for our food. The only thing is we had reservations for 7:30 but we weren't able to be seated until a little past 8:00 which is why I took a star off. Overall, I would recommend this place if you want to go on a nicer dinner with your significant other or a group of friends :) read more

I've been here a few times for dinner but first for brunch today and I have to say I'm underwhelmed unfortunately. Service was inattentive and seemed like we were a mild inconvenience, the brunch bread duo was pretty underwhelming as well, the monkey bread was good but a little dry, the breakfast pizza was the star of the show and was well done but other than that I don't think I'll come back for brunch. I expected significantly better service as I've gotten at dinner service and was touting how wonderful it was to my guest and felt like I may have disappointed them. Overall, wouldn't recommend here for brunch. Espresso martini was good though but not worth the drive when there's many other better brunch options in my opinion elsewhere. read more

I have been here twice once for a friend birthday and recently for a random late lunch date. The location is beautiful I love the modern minimalist look the location has. Let's not forgot about the beautiful water front view and fire pits that outside for outside sitting as well. Getting to the food I'm very simple when it comes to food. The hot honey pepperoni pizza is my favorite. I also order a side of the devil egg appetizer and a French 75 drink to wash it down. My waiter was very polite and attentive. We didn't have a reservation but since I arrived right when they open I was able to get sitting near the bar area. I would recommend reservations if you plan on attending the restaurant. read more

We celebrated our anniversary at The Salted Edge and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming--congratulating us with a signed card and a glass of prosecco, which made the night feel extra special. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The food was outstanding: the short rib croquettes melted in our mouths, the beet & burrata salad was the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory, and the spa rib French onion soup was pure decadence. My husband loved the wagyu bolognese, and the Kentucky bourbon cake was truly the icing on the cake. We'll definitely be back! read more

NOT what we expected from Waterloo! Excellent vibes, excellent service, excellent food. Are you sensing a theme, here?! We enjoyed every dish, but the highlights were the Brussels sprouts and (surprisingly) the mushroom truffle pizza! A must-have for coal-fired pizza fans that's reason enough for me to come back. read more

I was very excited to come here. Food and drinks were presented well, visually only . The establishment was a bit hard to find; I hope they invest in a clear sign, especially for the visually impaired. Very pretty location. My biggest complaint was the service. The server was cold and unwelcoming. Cleared EVERY plate before I was finished and rushed off. I even noted to her I was not done and before I could grab my plate back she rushed off with it. Very weird experience and a waste of money since I wasn't able to enjoy my meal. Food was sub par and underwhelming from what I did try. Waste of time and money. read more

I finally made it to salted edge after all those reviews and people non stop talking about it and it didn't disappoint! Starting with the service, this was top-notch, everyone was super helpful and professional. We always had someone come and check on us every 10 minutes. The ambiance is great, you can come here for a date night but also to catch up with a friend. The food was very good. Not in pictures but I also had the wagu pasta and it was to die for, my only complain about the pasta was that the portion felt too small. As for the salad, this was probably one of the best salad I have had in a while and this had enough to share between 3 people as an appetizer. read more

The place is just beautiful! Reserved dinner time around sunset because the views are just magnificent being by the lake. The food was also wonderful, as well as the server. Received some complimentary champagne since it was our anniversary. Bread board was filling and the butter pairing was just so good. Steak was cookies medium and was perfect, even took some leftovers home and still was amazing the next day! Braised short rib was soft and also delicious! The jalapeño potato cake on the bottom was crisp with each bite. Lobster Mac + cheese, well you really do get a taste of lobster and it's not too cheesy or oily imo! read more

I'm not sure if I was starving, or just so excited to be at Salted Edge for dinner that I didn't take many pictures, but believe me -- there were many delights! We arrived 20 minutes early for our reservation (and you absolutely should make a weekend reservation at least two weeks in advance), so we were seated at the bar while we waited. It was in the bar I got my first shudder that this might be a very expensive evening -- cocktails at $19. I guess I don't do fine dining enough? That said, all drinks were strong, fun and very tasty: a berry shrub, a chocolate martini and a browned butter manhattan. Called to dinner, we started with a charcuterie tray. Our wonderful server, Jeff, inquired for me about the possibility of goat cheese on the board (which is not a favorite). We were free and clear and subsequently loved every bite! One thing I'd improve on would be to add at least two more slices of the fantastic garlicky crostini. The salami was yummy, the gouda a smoky delight, and the olives, salty and addictive. The Caesar salad seemed simple enough -- whole leaves of endive, tomatoes, crouton crumbles, and a just right amount of dressing. Sooo good! Entrees included the Bison Bolognese, the Lobster Tortellini and the Scallops. For me, though all dishes were delicious, the star of the evening was the Scallops on Farro. I shared the dish with a friend, because as amazing and tantalizing as scallops can be, four large is just too much for me. Two was perfect. The other two dishes were enjoyed by the party with assurances they would order each again. Because it was a birthday celebration, we had desserts that ranged from a simple circle of caked topped with ice cream and berries to a mango topped key lime cheesecake to a bourbon infused cake. While all were delish, I thought the simplest was best. I love tart offerings, but that mango really made my mouth pucker. The bourbon cake tasted like something between a biscuit and cornbread. Nice, but not to die for. Overall, worth every penny and I'd love to visit again. Dress code is not at all fancy, though you'd be comfortable if you dressed up for your occasion. I dont see this as a child-friendly establishment, though everyone I encountered was lovely. The only drawback here is the noise. Sadly, it's difficult to have a conversation in a high-ceilinged, glass and metal box, so, sit close to whomever you hope to chat with! read more

Overall really enjoyed my meal. Restaurant is stunning with excellent lake views in the west shore neighborhood. Bread board is an absolute must. Really creative flavor combinations with accompanying butter varieties. We did the short ribs and charred broccolini for dinner. Broccolini was a bit of a miss...seemed a bit undercooked and not really charred. Loved the jalapeño potato cake that came under the short rib. Entree was this overall really tasty and short ribs very tender. Brown butter old fashioned ($20 each ) was outstanding. Price point is high but you are getting a high quality meal in a beautiful setting. I recommend putting on your list. read more

A beautiful venue to enjoy some great food. My wife and I had a reservation on a Friday night. We walked in about 15 early and were seated immediately. The restaurant is beautiful and lively, but not so loud that we couldn't have a nice conversation. Service was prompt and friendly, without being overbearing or bothersome. Our food came out perfectly prepared and very tasty. The heirloom tomatoes and burrata appetizer really stole the show! My wife enjoyed the mahi-mahi on a bed of black rice, while I tested the burger. My only negative critique of the evening is that my burger patty could have used a bit more seasoning. My wife and I each enjoyed a few of their house specialty cocktails. The brown butter old-fashioned was very tasty and perfectly balanced, but definitely on the more expensive side for a cocktail in Nebraska. We will definitely be back. read more

Went here for my birthday dinner and would definitely recommend! The waitress gave us a little history about the restaurant and the chef when we first sat down. I thought that was very cool to learn about where the flavors were inspired from. The menu had a variety of uniquely flavored dishes from seafood to steak to pizza. The bread board they recommended to us is probably the only time I'll ever order bread as an appetizer at a restaurant. They popovers were everybody's favorite and the different butters were fun to try. I highly recommend their pizza. The crust is chewy and soft and it's the best pizza I've had in a long time. Their burger and lobster Mac and cheese were also very delicious. I had the short rib and it was so tender. After dinner, they brought out a birthday dessert which were 3 mini donuts and vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. It was delicious! I'm always a fan of restaurants that have birthday desserts... it made me feel very special! Overall, the quality of food was superb here. I highly recommend. read more

Salted Edge - Bread board - Steakhouses Near Me - Waterloo, Nebraska

One of the most unpleasant dining experiences I've had. We had reservations for months to eat on the terrace with a group of 12. They never said we had to sit at two separate tables. The terrace is actually enclosed for the most part and the fans are too high to reach the guests. It was over 86 degrees with no air. They had to close the shades so there was no view. We were so hot, we had to ask for glasses of ice because there's no ice in the water. The server was told several times that the three of us were on one check. She said "We'll figure it out later." She didn't. It took over a half hour to pay and we had to sort out everything ourselves. The server reprinted the check for the first table after they sorted it out and then said she had to attend to other tables before taking our check, so we waited a long time before we could leave. The check was so mixed up, I had to Venmo a person at the other table and also had to pay for more than what we ordered. She could have just said "We don't separate checks" in the beginning. Since the tip was automatically included, she didn't care that we were unhappy. Three of us shared a pizza, wings and shrimp cocktail. None of us like the pizza. It was very chewy you couldn't even taste the short ribs on it. The wings were just average. One person ordered a hamburger and went home hungry. This place has the potential to be fun but "expensive" doesn't mean they've got it right. Our guests left dripping with sweat and not satisfied, but I don't think the staff cared. No one ever asked us how was everything. I've been there twice, and neither was a good experience. read more

This was our second visit to Salted Edge. This is a high end restaurant and priced accordingly. Our first experience about a year ago was first class. I was excited to take my dad and his wife there tonight hoping to share the experience we had the first time. We were very disappointed this time around. This visit was on a Sunday and an easy reservation to be had. We like the location, view and ambience but the service ,though well intentioned, was not acceptable for the price. The server was in training and tried hard but training and experience was poor. The bottle of wine we ordered was only the second he had opened EVER. He inexplicably struggled with the cork and pours. We are not high class customers but at this price it's fair to expect more than a five minute effort to remove a cork. The food was good not great. Service was very slow and we needed to ask for everything we got. A $400 meal for four should be much more enjoyable. Training and hiring of the wait staff needs attention. Very disappointed this time around. First visit was 5 star. This visit was one star. read more

Was so excited to finally try Salted Edge. We made reservations for our anniversary and had a great experience. I ordered the martini flight, which was so fun, even came with donut hole garnishes. Their version of the espresso martini was my favorite. We ordered the famous bread board for an appetizer and I would highly recommend ordering this at least once. The butter and bread were all so unique and was such a fun tasting experience. For my entrée, I did a surf and turf and thoroughly enjoyed both the lobster and the steak. It was also beautifully plated. We were definitely too full for dessert, but the staff brought out a champagne toast for our anniversary. I appreciated all of the personal touches. read more

I had extremely high hopes for Salted Edge and maybe I'm being more critical because of it. The 4 of us ordered 4 starters, 3 entrees, a handful of drinks and the dessert cocktail flight. Highlights were the Brussels sprouts (amazing) and burrata. The mushroom tartine had more goat cheese flavor than mushroom (the mushrooms had nearly no taste) and the deviled eggs were good but nothing super mind blowing (I actually keep forgetting we had them). My burger had good flavor (in my opinion, but another member of my party really didn't like the flavor of the meat) but the patty was way too thick for my tastes. I could only eat half of the burger and I think the flavors would have been more balanced with a thinner patty. I got to try the lobster tortellini and it was nothing like I expected. It had a very strong taste of lemon zest in the tortellini. I know it has a citrus sauce but the flavor of the lemon was overpowering. The cauliflower steak looked good but I didn't try it. The dessert cocktail flight looked gorgeous but the donuts were dry and the drinks were good but not phenomenal. I preferred the espresso one the most. The restaurant is gorgeous and the staff was awesome. Our waitress Cameron was excellent and we were greeted and treated well by everyone. I'll be back at least once (I forgot to use my loyalty discount) and will get the Brussels sprouts and burrata again for sure. read more

Have been hearing the buzz about this place for the last couple of months so had to check it out. We were not disappointed and will be back. Absolutely beautiful restaurant right on the water. We started with cocktails and oysters. I'm always hesitant to get oysters in Nebraska but this were wonderful, probably the best I've had in Omaha. Next we had to try the deviled eggs with shrimp. A fun twist on a classic. Our mains were the scallops and the short rib. Two completely different meals but both were amazing. We closed with butter cake and cappuccino, the perfect end to a great meal. read more
