    Chorizo Eggs Benedict
    Nick B.

    I was in Omaha for a long weekend stay with my family, and it was a struggle to find a brunch spot to eat at. We stumbled upon the Early Bird in the beautiful Blackstone District, and it struck our eye immediately. It has a very new and fun decorated interior, with a fully stocked bar and happy hour specials. The food was amazing, with myself getting a Chorizo Eggs Benedict, which was on their specials menu. The avocado crema and chorizo were incredibly tasty, and the hash browns were very crunchy which immediately stands out to me compared to soggy hash. My mom also had candied bacon with her meal, which I had never had before and were equally tasty. I would highly recommend anyone stopping by the Blackstone District to stop here for breakfast OR lunch, as their sandwiches looked great as well. I will be stopping by again for a bacon flight if i'm ever in town!

    Coffee & mimosa flight? Yes, please.

    Is there any better portmanteau than the word BRUNCH? When else can you combine two wonderful options for breakfast and lunch, usually happening after you've in the middle of a relaxing morning? Early Bird is just this kind of place. The menu is chock-full of brunch options, punctuated by mimosas in several varieties. Their specialty dishes are sublime, starting with the OG French toast, or get the Farnam French toast, topped with a sweet mascarpone cheese & a caramel drizzle. My lovely wife made very quick work of this dish, even before I could get a photo op! Omelets & Benedicts ('Hollandaise of Our Lives') are all over the place with tons of options to suit virtually any palate. Early Bird also has plenty of options for the back half of the brunch hour, such as a Crabcake Benedict, multiple chicken sandwiches, and heartier burger fare, because Nebraska. Wash any or all of that back with brunch-style cocktails such as a mimosa selection or a hearty Bloody Mary. Any of those choices are guaranteed to give you an opportunity to dial it back a bit and just enjoy your morning. Service was spectacular, even on a busy Saturday morning. Seating is plentiful and with a full bar, there is ample space for those flying solo. Parking is fairly easy in this area, maybe with a few added steps, but still easy. Early Bird delivers amazing value with their menu and our experience (especially with that mimosa flight!) was nothing short of spectacular!

    Very good breakfast spot close to downtown and Creighton University. The employees were friendly and sat our party in a cute round table that can seat probably 8. I had the early bird omelette that you can choose your own veggies and proteins, it's nice that it comes with both hash browns and toast. The vanilla latte was served in a giant mug that was delicious! We also had the crab cake Benny and waffle which was delicious! Solid place for breakfast that opens early at 6:30am.

    French toast sticks
    Alexis B.

    WOW! Every bite is delicious! I wish I could eat here daily to try each item on the menu. We started with the brioche French toast sticks which were a perfect combination on crunchy and soft on the inside. I love eggs Benedict so I got the cold smoked salmon Benny. It was like sushi and breakfast combined... so so good. The avocado made the dish. My husband got the chicken and waffles and the chicken was just so tender. Our server was great and friendly and we loved all the cute seating options and early bird decor. It is a bit higher priced than regular breakfast places, but you quickly realize it is worth the bill.

    My favorite breakfast spot. I think they're the only ones in town that get the smoked salmon Benedict right. Good portions, and their breakfast potatoes are tasty as well.

    Breakfast burrito!
    Becky Y.

    I had a great time eating at Early Bird! It was my first time, but we got seated immediately and I really enjoyed the El Gordo Burrito. It was HUGE and topped with an avocado cream and queso!! Unlimited free refills on the drip coffee too :) great music and vibes too. I'll be back!

    HASH HOLES  and early bird held on fruit or hash browns which comes with the early bird
    Mary M.

    All the rave for the hash holes! They were absolutely delicious and savory and it comes with a sauce. I ordered the early bird and held on the hash browns/ fruit that come with it simple because I knew the hash holes would be filling. It's so colorful in this location and I love it. It was very packed with a line outside as well for waiting. I sat at the bar with no wait so if you can do that then that would be my suggestion.

    Came here to have breakfast before going to the zoo with the family. I'm so happy we got there early as it really started to pick up closer to 9 o'clock and we had a large party ! Our server was great and gave us recommendations and the food came out shortly after. This place has kids meals, which makes it very family friendly to eat here. Do not skip the banana bread French toast. As I now consider it a primary food group. The restaurant inside is very clean and very hip with bright vibrant colors.

    Yummy brunch location in Omaha!! Our sever was on point and kept checking in on us! I recommend going to Early bird. The restaurant decor is cute as well!

    Every time I have been to Early Bird it has been good. They do get busy on the weekends so definitely check or join the waitlist before going! I've had a few of their egg benedict's and definitely like the crab cake one better than the salmon one. The breakfast pot pie was also delish!! My sister got one of the burrito bowls and it was good, but a bit spicy for our taste. It's a great and reliable brunch spot, just be sure to prepare for it to be busy if you go on a weekend!

    If you're in the Blackstone area and it's before noon, chances are you've been to Early Bird. This is one of our go-to breakfast/brunch spots here and this visit did not disappoint! Pro tip: Use the Yelp check in to skip the line before you arrive! We sat on their back patio on a warmer Sunday for lunch which is covered and perfect before the weather really gets cold. There are so many delicious choices, it's hard to pick just one. Today, we both went with their bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with fruit and tots. This "little" sandwich is packed full of protein and flavor, you definitely won't go home hungry! Their tots are my personal favorite for their crispy texture over hash browns. Service was excellent for a busy, Sunday lunch as well. You won't want to miss Early Bird next time you're in Blackstone!

    omelet and burrito bowl
    Kassie G.

    A personal favorite for my husband. He loves the breakfast burrito and the omelet is great! portion sizes are what you want. It gives off diner vibes with better interior decorating. Service is fast and our favorite spot to hit up if you wake up late on a weekend real hungry

    Alexis H.

    Vibes and aesthetic are on point at this place! Music is soo good and makes the place that much more perfect. We had a friendly and nice server. For a drink I ordered an iced caramel latte with oatmilk, YUM.

The space is super cute and bigger than I expected. I love that the windows open up and give it an indoor/outdoor vibe, and the tropical décor makes it feel fun and cozy at the same time. There's plenty of seating, and they can fit both small and big groups. We were a party of about eight and were still able to find a good spot together. Something I really liked is that they let you bring food from other places since they don't serve any, which is perfect if you want to hang out for a while. Their drink menu is huge, and the presentation is honestly amazing. When we first got there it was slow, but it definitely got busier as the night went on. We did struggle a bit when it was time to check out because all the servers were running around, so just be ready for that on a busy night. Overall, we had a great time. The drinks were really good, the vibe was great, and I'd definitely go back.

The seating was a bit of a challenge as we had to seat ourselves and we had a decently large group, so we had to wander around for a bit trying to find a spot, but we eventually did. I'll probably be back to try more drinks, but maybe when they are less busy!

The space itself is nice, and…read morethe tree at the center of the bar is genuinely cool--but if you're seated off to the side, that focal point doesn't really translate into the overall vibe. Drinks are expensive for what you get. I tried their premium old-fashioned, and honestly, it was no better than a standard old-fashioned elsewhere. Nothing wrong with it, just nothing memorable--certainly not at that price point. Service was slow, which was surprising given that it was a quiet night. On top of that, since the bar is in the hotel basement, there's no cell service. The Wi-Fi password I was given didn't work, which made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be.

But--I'd discourage going to this part of the hotel. After my experience from the first review, I called and had 2 separate conversations with the manager to try to rectify the situation. He sent the info to accounting and 2 months later, I still hadn't heard anything back. It was clear they didn't consider the situation important enough to look into, so that was really discouraging as an IHG hotels member and have spent a fair amount of money here over the past several years.

I made a reservation for five of us, and we were counting down the days like it was a holiday. When we arrived, we valet parked and made our way inside. The restaurant is a little tucked away. Head downstairs past the hotel lounge and you will find it. It kind of gives the place a secret, speakeasy vibe, which I loved. We were greeted warmly and led to a private dining room that was beyond charming. It featured a renovated poker table that now serves as a dining table. It was unique, intimate, and perfect for our group. We were offered still or sparkling water right away, and the service was attentive from start to finish. Joe, our server, was fantastic. He knew we were celebrating and made the experience feel personalized from the moment we sat down. He also knew I was there for the Beef Wellington. I had noted it in the reservation, which I highly recommend, because they only prepare a limited number each day. They saved one for me, and I am still dreaming about it. Since it was our first time, we went all out. We shared Caesar salads, a small chilled seafood tower, bourbon-glazed pork belly, and an artisanal cheese board. Everything was top-notch. I do not even eat seafood, but the tarragon sauce on the tower was absolutely incredible. I would put that on toast, fries, maybe even a shoe. It was that good. For mains, most of us ordered the New York strip steaks. My husband chose the Summer of Steak flight, and I finally got my hands on the Wellington. Every entrée was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. These were easily some of the best steaks we have had in Omaha. We also ordered four sides to share, which was just right for our group of five. The truffle fries were hot and crispy with a lemon aioli that I wanted to take home in a bottle. The asparagus was fresh and perfectly done. The mashed potatoes were whipped and fluffy. The aged cheddar mac and cheese was everything it should be--gooey, rich, and ridiculously satisfying. Naturally, we did not stop there. We sampled a few desserts: Baked Alaska, Coconut Torte, and the Blackstone Butterbrickle. All three were excellent. There was not a single bite left behind. The cocktails were also a standout. Some of the best margaritas we have had in a while. The bartender deserves his own round of applause. Yes, it was a splurge. With tip, the bill came to around $1,200. But it was a birthday, and as my dad always says, if the food and the experience were good, it was money well spent. And this absolutely was. The Committee Chophouse delivered at every level: flavor, service, ambiance, and attention to detail. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we can go back.
