    It’s a beautiful restaurant. From the moment you arrive, you feel as if you were transported to a classy restaurant in a large metropolitan city. The food is consistently good and reasonably priced. With a wide variety of items on the menu, it’s certain to please even the pickiest palate. It is one of few elegant restaurants in Omaha that still serve dinner after 9:00pm which is greatly appreciated. The staff is very attentive, providing the best service. I’m now a regular and routinely look forward to my next visit.

    I was celebrating a birthday and wanted to go somewhere nice but not too pricey. I was so pleased with my choice. We made reservations for 8 p.m. and got seated quickly. Megan was friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent! An indulgent birthday dessert was offered and enjoyed without the loud Happy Birthday song. It was all quite lovely.
