About the restaurant
Ever since the first caveman decided to slap a side of mammoth over the cave fire, man (and woman) has enjoyed the flavor of food cooked over a wood fire. At Timber Wood-Fire Bistro, all of our dishes are made from scratch using the highest quality ingredients. They are then cooked either over our state-of-the-art wood burning grill or in a brick oven heated by the embers of logs.
Cooking in this way imparts a slight smokiness as it brings out the natural flavors of the food. A juicy ribeye sizzles and caramelizes, giving the tender beef a gorgeous crust. The homemade dough for our pizzas rises in the heat, and the crust gets to be the perfect combination of crisp and chewy. Vegetables share an entirely new flavor profile when cooked over wood. Dining at Timber brings an experience both classic and innovative. Come eat and drink with us as you watch our fireflies dance above the wood-fired grill.

Our recent visit was a party of eight. The menu had something for everyone and nothing disappointed. The restaurant was running at capacity over the holiday weekend and was a little noisier than usual, but that is to be expected. Despite the capacity crowd, our food was very good without a long wait and service was exceptional.

It was a large group from work. We got a reservation for 8 on short notice. The place looked amazing online for ambience and did not disappoint. To be fair it was after dark when we got the and the initial curb impression was a 60s strip mall. But inside it really delivered. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food hot and the drinks cold. The pretzel crusted Cheese curds and the stake frites were the don’t miss appetizers. Everyone enjoyed the food from the Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf, to the chef’s special steak to the Shrimp Diablo. It was an amazing, fun, experience. Would definitely go back again and again.

About the restaurant
For any requests or accommodations for dinner parties of 7 or more guests, please contact the restaurant by phone.

This is a restaurant where steak is the star–where great steak is the rule, not the exception. Mahogany’s steaks are the finest custom-aged U.S. Prime Midwestern Beef, known for its excellence in marbling, texture and flavor. We broil it exactly the way you like it at 900 degrees to lock in the corn-fed flavor. We serve it sizzling on a heated plate so that it stays hot throughout your meal. Selections from the ocean include Australian Rock lobster and the freshest fish daily based on availability. Service will be outstanding, but provided in a casual, less intimidating fine-dining atmosphere.

About the restaurant
The first Oven Restaurant, located in the heart of downtown Lincoln, has been around since 1988 and owned/operated by a dedicated family of chefs who have been creating Indian cuisine for over twenty seven years. The Oven Restaurants specialize in Northern Indian Cuisine which is known for its rich colors, flavor profiles and a unique style of cooking in a clay oven, called the Tandoor. Chicken, shrimp and lamb marinate for several hours in a yogurt and spice mixture and placed on skewers while various breads are being hand made by our chefs fresh each day. The skewers and breads are then placed in the tandoor over an open flame where breads are cooked to perfection and the rich flavors are sealed in to ensure tenderness and quality of the meat. Whether you enjoy the historic Haymarket atmosphere to the relaxed vibe of the Cellar, we have what you want!

The four course date menu or the chef’s 7 course tasting menu are our favorites! Tonight the Korean chicken starter had great flavor with the right amount of heat! The butternut squash soup with homemade roasted marshmallow was our next selections. Terrific! I chose the scallops for my main course while my spouse had the linguini with clams. The pumpkin crème brule dessert and coconut sorbet were a nice ending to our meal! Our friends had a beautifully plated and delicious beet salads and rack of lamb with mango sorbet. We had a relaxing 2 hour dinner with great service and time with Chef Anthony! Our favorite chef-owned restaurant in Omaha!

The food had great flavor. You would think being a steakhouse they would be able to cook steaks to the correct temperature. The prime rib was tough and was extremely under done. Ordered medium and got it rare. Other than that everything else was amazing. Our server was awesome. It was nice and quiet and had a very cozy feeling to it.
