    We chose Dynamite for our one year wedding anniversary dinner and are SO GLAD we did! The ambience is so cozy and perfect for winter, but the windows make it a great spot anytime of the year. All of our food was amazing and our server was the best. Can't wait to come back!

    Excellent food , wild caught snapper , black angus ribeye steak ,wild mushrooms and farm fresh produce. All the appetizers were great ! We have a group of six people. Enjoyed the food and the ambiance very much . The only drawback was we like to sit around for a little bit to chat . They clear the table so fast and gave us a check . It made us feel like leaving and then we end up waking in the park nearby to chat a little bit. They have lots of empty tables so there was not a rush to leave the table . Here is what we ordered . Dynamite wood fire grill Appetizer:Reuben croquettes Crab cake Sides : two orders of each , grilled asparagus; wild mushrooms. Steak sauce : red wine Demi Main courses : 16 oz ribeye steak with red wine demi sauce . Chicken Bolognese ; Two Tagliatelle : roasted wild mushrooms, coconut dashi broth , baby arugula. Can added shrimps or 4 oz sliced filet ( Morgan ranch ) Red snapper with a cute presentation. Would like to return again in the future.

    Ambiance | Service | Presentation Ambiance--The first thing you notice about the restaurant is its presentation from the outside. When you walk up to Suju and come in, there's a certain type of gravity and ambience that the restaurant possesses, which is impressive. Service--We had Elijah as our server, who was very nice, knowledgeable, and consistent with his service. He helped us navigate the menu and suggested wine and dessert pairings. He also had a great tableside manner and presentation, which made the experience ideal. Presentation--The restaurant's food presentation is very high, so it's very photogenic when the meals come out. Additionally, the menu is digital, and you can see photos of the meals with a deeper description, which is unique. Therefore, you have more knowledge about your choices before you make them, which is an enhanced experience. Pro tip: there's a lot of street parking within the block; therefore, you don't need to add too much time to your drive Pro tip: Each meal has a preferred wine pairing at the bottom; therefore, I highly encourage you to listen to the chef and the sommelier.

    Not the fine dining i'd be willing to pay for again. It is quite over prices for the quality and experience. The interior and ipad menus are the most impressive things about the place. Food was fine but underwhelming because of the portion size for the scallops in the pasta and the sides that came with the steak were better than the steak

    Dynamite Woodfire Grill is located in the Farnam Hotel, an upscale, modern high-end design property that is very well located in downtown Omaha. Everyone has their opinions about a "hotel restaurant" and they're usually not great - but Dynamite doesn't fit that stereotype at all. It's a very beautiful, well designed, and exceptionally well operating fine dining experience. The space is gorgeous with its layout, furnishings, lighting, and finishes. The kitchen, back of their main bar, is a sight to behold with its Beech custom made woodfired ovens from Australia. As a diner its fascinating to watch the staff and the flames, and enjoy the sounds and scents emanating from this cooking process. We didn't sample any of the drinks, opting for an IPA and a bottle of wine. We selected a Hartford Court Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2019 for $89 and we absolutely loved it! Key to that great experience was the wait staff replacing our beautiful Bourdeau glasses set on the table with the appropriate Burgandy wine glass - and especially key to me was the absolute crystal-clear condition of every glass. I'm a stickler for the beauty, design, and cleanliness of glassware in a restaurant. Dynamite understands wine and people who love it! We began our dining experience with two shareables. Our highest review went to the Panko-Breaded Stuffed Blue Cheese Olives - beautiful and an amazing flavor. We added the Spanish Octopus, and it was also good but paled in flavor to the olives. For dinner starters we chose a Wedge Salad and the Crab Gazpacho. The wedge was artfully presented with a great addition of bacon lardons and house-made blue cheese dressing. The absolute star was the Crab Gazpacho. Poured tableside with a mound of tender crab, topped with a small scoop of icy cold avocado sorbet sitting in the center of the bowl. An impressive presentation that was exceeded by the taste. Exquisite! Dinner choices were the Prime Ribeye, perfectly seasoned and grilled on a white plate, with a side of Truffle Mac & Cheese served in a cast iron ramekin with lid, and the tender and mild Miso Wild King Salmon. Both were excellent entrees. The highlight, besides all of the above, was our server, Chris. This guy is a pro! Engaging, fast, fully knowledgeable, and fun. The perfect combination to season a great dinner with great service. Omaha has a lot of great places for steak and fine dining. Dynamite deserves a spot near the top.

    Situated in the Old Market with a great atmosphere, this place is great spot for date night. They have a decent menu with an impressive wine list. Some of the side dishes were just OK, particularly the truffle mac and cheese. The service was above average but the price point was a little steep for what you are getting. We'll probably return and see if we'll have a better experience next time.

    Food was great. The atmosphere is new and beautiful with an open kitchen concept. This is the best steakhouse in downtown and would pick it over 801 Chophouse any day. Our party got a lot of different items from the menu and non of them disappointed. The drinks are also some of the best. The service is top tier!

    Stopping in for some brunch at the dynamite! I was delighted to find out that this location is available for brunch. An added bonus was that they take reservations, which can really take the edge off of long waits on the weekends. Located off the newly renovated Gene Leahy mall, metered street parking is available (free on Sundays). The Dynamite is adjacent to the lobby of the AC Marriott. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated for our reserved table. Our servers were just super, walking us through options on the menu and just offer the pleasant visit. The menu was surprisingly extensive and pricing in line with brunch restaurants in Omaha area. Having a small group allowed us to try a number of things and everything we had was just outstanding. Breakfast and lunch standards all done perfectly and added twists made for creative and delicious options. The restaurant is cozy (I love a full set of cutlery and linen napkins) and clearly offers a tremendous wine selection. Everything about this visit was five stars and we will be back! Can't wait to try their dinner menu. After brunch, we began talking with the host, who proceeded to show us the back patio area that is open in the evenings on weekends and offers a wonderful outdoor seating area, as well as a full bar inside.

    For the price I think there are better options in Omaha, such as Au Courant, The Boiler Room, and V Mertz. The ambiance was nice but our server seemed overwhelmed and continuously attempted to up-sale us with the most expensive liquors and wines. We started with a variety of apps, the Ruben Croquettes were well fried but the caraway seeds overwhelmed the little ball and the Corn Beef has the texture of potted meat. The Octopus was by far the best app, it was perfectly grilled and accompanied by fingerling potatoes atop a flavorful sauce. For a main, I had the ribeye and found it to be under seasoned and lacking flavor which is odd considering it's a ribeye. I also had a side of wild roasted mushrooms which seemed sautéed in a skillet and also did not have the taste of truffle as advertised.

    We had been at Dynamite once before for appetizers and enjoyed everything about it; the food, atmosphere, and service. So, on this trip we treated our friends to a night out and we were blown away. First, our waiter Armando was fabulous! He's very knowledge about food, traveling, and pairing wine to food. THE FOOD: our friends had dined here before and noticed the menu had changed, which is normal obviously. I'm excited to see what changes they will have next. I had the 8 oz. Beef Tenderloin which is sourced from Piedmontese Beef, an excellent operation in Lincoln. We buy their meat for home cooking. I recommend Piedmontese if you see it on a menu, it's likely from the Lincoln operation. It was prepared just as ordered, medium and well seasoned. Tender. You are offered a side, which I choose a loaded baked potato (prepared very well) and a side of sauce. I was torn between bernaise and horseradish. I was served both. Bernaise was a bit bland. Honestly, the filet didn't need any sauce. My dining partner ordered Tagliatelle with 4 oz. sliced filet at an additional cost. I was tempted to order this too. It's the only menu item I noticed that had the option to add beef, fish, or shrimp. This has noodles with Wild Mushrooms, Coconut Dashi Broth, and Baby Arugula. I sampled it and was still torn as to which once I should have ordered. Both menu items were solid. The coconut broth was interesting to say the least. I'm adding a picture of cocktails that we enjoyed before dinner at the bar just outside the host stand. Another picture shows how Dynamite incorporates LOCAL to this fine dining experience. It was a great night out!

    I really enjoyed the opportunity to check out a new downtown restaurant on a recent Friday night. As the name implies, a lot of the dishes focus on a smoky flavor - from the cocktails and appetizers to entrees themselves. Our table enjoyed the charcuterie and cheese and I liked the smoked beet salad to start. I went with the short ribs for dinner and for me, the meat was more like a pot roast, than short ribs. I loved the ambiance, and our server was kind and attentive. This is definitely a nice option in downtown Omaha.

    Ask the Community - Dynamite Woodfire Grill

    Does anyone have menu prices or a general range for the steaks, sides, and desserts? Thank you!

    Steaks are all over $50. Sides are $10 and up but are shareable (2-3ppl).

    What is the pricing like here - on average how much is dinner for 2? The menu doesn't list any prices.

    Depending on if there's alcohol, $100-$150 for two.

He looked at me and said, "No, it's totally fine. Would you like some veggies on the side?" "Yes, that would be amazing," I said, and walked back to my table... and burst into tears.

My husband and I first visited Memoir for our anniversary, and it was such an awesome experience, especially for a special occasion like that. After we were done doing all of our (admittedly annoying) photography of the awesome ambiance, we finally sat down to order and eat - and the original amazingness didn't stop there! The menu is not gigantic, which I always appreciate - because I get overwhelmed by too many choices. We picked a few things to share, at the recommendation of our server (who was also amazing and made sure we had a great anniversary dinner). They even gave us a card signed by the staff wishing us a great anniversary! Those little extra touches are what really make a dining experience special. We had the Kale and Bacon Dip for an appetizer, which was DECADENTLY delicious. The dip was smooth and silky with a toasty focaccia which went really well together with the two different textures. And we also grabbed the Pork Potstickers, and my oh my, were those fantastic. Delicate potsticker wrapper, with tons of filling, resting in a carrot-ginger dressing that complemented the potsticker fantastically. We were already so pleased, and didn't believe the entrees could top the starters, but they were just as awesome, which should be no surprise. It was easier to share two entrees, because we couldn't decide between two. Our first entree was the Faroe Island Salmon, and it was cooked to perfection, and served atop an indulgent bed of sweet corn risotto that I still dreeeeam about. And our second entree was the Rigatoni Alla Vodka, which was a little lighter of a meal, so was great paired with the salmon dish which was a tad heavier. I would recommend either of these dishes! We were SO full at this point but we knew we had to get a dessert since this was a special occasion. We shared the chocolate torte and devoured it, even with our extreme fullness. It was so fluffy and chocolatey and DELISH. From start to finish, this was one of the best meals I've had in Omaha. The service was on point, the eats were out of this world, and the vibe of the interior is something to behold. If you're looking for an awesome place to have a special occasion meal or just a nice dinner on a date night, look no further than Memoir for all of the above!

    In town visiting our kids from Florida and we stopped in JST for lunch yesterday. My lunch was…read moreabsolutely delicious! I had The Cobblestone salad... Chef's kiss. The steak was cooked perfectly! We were sat right upfront to over look the old market and it was clean and I loved the home feel of the space, very casual and comfortable. Our server (ugh, can't remember his name) was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. The ONLY thing that was a downside is that on yelp it says the restaurant is pet friendly and that is not the case. We traveled with our puppy and we had to leave her back at my daughter's apartment downtown which was a big bummer. Other than that, not one single bad this to say.

    We found Jackson Street Tavern on Yelp while looking for a place to eat that was 1. walkable to our…read morehotel, and 2. would have hamburgers for the kids. This fit the bill so we walked over around 5pm one evening for an early dinner after spending the day exploring the zoo. When we arrived the place was pretty empty - think maybe two tables occupied, and the hostess asked us if we had a reservation. We did not, and honestly she seemed a bit put out for a bit. I kind of wondered if we were going to be able to eat in this empty restaurant, but alas she decided it was okay and we were seated. This is one of my pet peeves at restaurants. I know, I know, that there could have been a ton of business booked for later, but it's such a bad look to make such a big deal about reservations when the place is empty. Also - while it did start to fill it was by no means full by the time we left. At any rate, things perked up at that point and we all got seated, ordered drinks, food etc. and had a good time. The server was kind and thoughtful and the food was pretty tasty. I had the fish and chips and shared it with my husband as the entrees are a good size here. My six year old had the kids hamburger, though we did have a bit of a scare when the server said "your cheeseburger will be out soon!" we had a long wait on the kids meal and when she said cheeseburger I immediately said - "no cheese!" the menu item was described as a "hamburger" with no mention of cheese and our kid doesn't like cheese her burgers so that was a really close call. I sort of got the impression that server wasn't accustomed to kids, but when the burger came out it was right and even though she had to wait, my kiddo gave it two thumbs up. Overall this is a good pub style restaurant in Old Town. Nothing really to write home about, but they do have decent food and local beers which was all we really cared about after a long day at the zoo.

    The Orleans Room is my go-to for brunch, mimosas, and any opportunity to have a girls day lunch…read moredate. Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but it is beautifully nestled in the Cottonwood Hotel, which is arguably the prettiest boutique hotel in Omaha. The service is relatively fast, and I have always had great experiences with attentive and knowledgeable waiters, who have recommended drinks to me before, all of which have been hits. I adore a mimosa, and the Orleans Room delivers every time. Their mocktails are also a great alternative. My go-to meal is the Reuben, which they are known for as the creators of the OG Reuben sandwich, and it shows. The sandwich is amazing; I don't think I can even have one elsewhere as they don't seem to compare. Everyone I have brought, whether my mom, grandma, or girl friends, has enjoyed every time we spend here as well. The vibes are immaculate, the food is spectacular, and the ambiance is always upscale and classy.

    Our daughter and I were visiting Omaha from Oregon for a concert, but I read that the Orleans Room…read morewas the place that the Reuben Sandwich was created. It was phenomenal. We love a great Reuben, and the Orleans Room version is that good. It is now tied with the Goose Hallow Inn from Portland that we have enjoyed twice. The greeting at the front was slow. There were only three tables in the dining room, and our server and someone else were conversing in the bar area. After we were finally sat, our daughter wanted Rose by the glass. I noticed the price of the glass was $15, but the bottle was $28? So of course we ordered the bottle. It was a perfect mid-afternoon treat. The server Lainey, was friendly, but it seemed to take too long to receive the bottle of wine. The Reuben...wow. The corned beef was so good and tender. The french fries were coated and remained hot and crisp thru the meal. The 1000 dressing is house made and terrific. The Sandwich alone leads me to give the Orleans Room 5 stars. We were also impressed by the approachability and friendliness of the GM, Mr. Johnson, and the Exec. Chef, Brandon. The General Manager told us of the great history of the Orleans Room and the former President's that had frequented the hotel, which is owned by Kimpton. We will definitely return to the Orleans Room for another Reuben on our next trip to Omaha.

    Everett's is a solid ten! At least that's what I would give them if I could. We had heard about…read morethem and were very excited to try. I'm sure everything on the menu is good, but we came here for wings and boy did they deliver. The house brined wings are Fantastic. We did the extra hot bubba, which is their extra hot sauce fried then grilled In garlic Parmesan, which was so juicy and flavorful and kicked the heat to a perfect amount where it was flavorful but not overbearing. We also did the cactus ranch, which is the medium hot sauce tossed with cactus ranch seasoning, also tried it grilled. Another solid selection that provided a nice amount of heat and flavor. Both were so amazing I can't even say which one I liked more or which one was hotter. The wings are huge, juicy, and came out well-sauced. I filled up after five of mine (my husband tackled them all) and took the rest home. I don't know how to say best wings in Omaha, since I don't live there and haven't tried enough places, but these were some of the best wings we have EVER had, period. And we get wings almost everywhere we go. Also---the hand-cut (you heard me) fries aren't to be passed up on. We tried with the garlic aoili, so good, and a huge basket for $6. Our server was great. They are always busy, so give them some grace. We came during late lunch, got lucky and got seated right away, and it was still a revolving door of people, tables don't sit empty for long. They don't take reservations, and I understand why. They have limited space and when full, you sign up on the Board, there is a bar next door you can also receive a buzzer and go have a few drinks while you wait. This place is definitely worth the wait and we will repeatedly be back when we make it up to Omaha.

    Delicious food! Isn't that the most important thing at a restaurant?! Of course it is! Everett's…read moredefinitely deserves 5 stars on that category. More about that in a moment. In addition, our server Laura was great -- friendly, efficient, came back to check on us, refilled water glasses, prompt with the food and with our bill. The atmosphere was just ok. Some eclectic posters adorned the walls. There were a couple of large tv screens tuned to a sports channel. Interior seemed a bit dark for a sunny mid-afternoon. But the food! My wife & I shared a BBQ Pulled Pork and Bacon Burger with a side of Branding Potatoes plus a Fry Basket option #3 (asian). Each item was totally delicious -- amazing blends of flavors! I cannot give enough praise. Some creative genius (maybe several of them) was involved in cooking up this kind of flavorful delight! Highly recommend!!

TONS of seating and the servers are great. We tried some new items out this time. If you're looking for a mocktail - try the berry basil smash. It's light refreshing, and packed with some fruity flavors. The stir fry noodle dish (I removed the egg) was delicious but VERY salty. Lots of good texture and flavors happening. Tuna poke was delicious and fresh! There is a paid garage and street meters for parking.

We typically start off with the bacon fondue fries, they are astounding, and is a repeat order EVERY single time. The first time we ate here I got the BBQ Chicken Mac & Cheese. This literally was like I was experiencing eating mac & cheese for the first time all over again. I personally love how the cheese sauce is a little more on the liquidly side, but not too much where the noodles don't keep any on them. The barbecue sauce used pairs sooooo well with the cheesy liquidly goodness, and the chicken and green onion tops it all off with the perfect crunch! Past the food, I love the beers here and love a good brewery vibe you get, you can for sure taste how much effort goes into their local drafts. Will always be at the top of my list for date nights or a quick bite and drink.
