My favorite part was definitely the service and professionalism of the server. Thank you for making our visit profound and memorable!

First thing first, the vibe very cool: the basement, amazing decor, cozy booths and tables, quiet! I loved it all.

Our server was so friendly and made good recommendations and overall just awesome. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Before you read the novel below, I will summarize within the first couple sentences…read more We had heard about this small hole-in-the wall place and read rave reviews prior to reserving our table for a birthday celebration about a week in advance. We reserved for 4pm on a Sunday. 2 stars instead of 1 because 2 out of the 5 steaks ordered were cooked as ordered and were delicious. When we arrived it was to our surprise it was empty..no one else waiting/seated at the restaurant. It appeared to have one employee working, who happened to be the owner it turns out. We were seated and asked for drink orders and brought cans of pop, and told that Dr. pepper would have gone bad before it could get used so they didn't carry it. No big deal. Ordered a full spread of appetizers, didn't receive one item, asked about it and it was made and brought out. No big deal. Drinks were empty almost the entire time despite being the only table in the place and we were hardly checked on. Everyone ordered Rib Eye steaks except kids and one person ordered sirloin. We were told he was out of 10oz, so had to "upgrade" to a 12oz. All steaks were supposed to be medium rare. We were still the only people at the restaurant at this point...40 minutes later. The kids' items came out first, smart move. Then came my 12 oz steak which was burnt on edges, about 1/2" thick, and Well Done. Then, out came the 16oz rib eye and it was 3/4-1" thick, juicy and cooked to medium rare. As ordered. Then came my husbands steak, a 14oz cooked medium well and also about 1/2" thick the lobster tail was probably a 2oz tail and served meat side down on a leaf of lettuce...cold in the center. Then came the other 14oz that was about 3/4" thick, juicy and undercooked. Then came the birthday girl's 16oz and it was about 1/2" thick and well done. At this point, it was no longer a maybe because the 12oz was smaller it was over cooked, but a do they even know how to cook a steak? When I addressed the issue, I was told " Well, I cook on the plus side of what people order because some people say one temperature and mean another." I said "well, medium rare to me means warm red center. " He left and came back stating "I only have one steak left, so...." Just walked away. No apology, no explanation other than what was said. A table of 3 showed up about 5:30 and his attention went to them. We are business owners and know staff/supply shortages are real, we get it. BUT there is absolutely no excuse for the lack of service/explanation especially when charging over $20/$30 from a so called Wagyu bloodline that was over/under cooked 4/5 steaks. All he had to have said was, "hey, we are short staffed I am by myself, bare with me. I'm sorry it wasn't cooked to your liking, can I throw it back on or get you another/something else in its place?" But when you dismiss a complaint, offer no explanation, don't care to strike up a conversation with customers or even thank them for coming in there's a bigger issue. Especially when you shut down your Facebook page's option to leave a review after a message was sent directly to you regarding the service received is ignored. Something tells me maybe this wasn't the first time, maybe it wasn't an "off" night. Either way, reviews can still be left on other platforms and will be. We are not typically hard to please, be friendly, keep glasses filled up, bring us what we order and you receive a very generous tip and review. This was not the case here and people have a right to know what could happen during their visit especially since it seems any negative review is reported or replied to with a snarky come back.

Happy Anniversary to us! Well, yesterday but nonetheless decided we'd try a steakhouse we've read…read moremuch about in here. Honestly, we weren't that... impressed, but we gave it a valiant go on both meals chosen! Kinda bummed there wasn't a drink menu with cocktails, but they had a great selection of wine ranging from $100-$500 a bottle. So, we stuck with water. Bread and creamy butter was dropped off while we waited and who can't resist a warm roll? Got the Trail Boss Prime Rib, with salad bar, and baked potato side was requested as medium. The au ju lacked flavor, and only lasted a few bites before not used at all. The baked potato was delish though! Prime rib was very tender, a lot of cap which was nice, but it was just sorta.. average. I snagged their Teriyaki Tenderloin Kabob on a bed of wild rice, salad bar, and asparagus side (probably the first restaurant I've seen that's offered asparagus as an actual side), requested well done. By all accounts it does look a bit charred, but when the veggies were pulled apart, they were warm and tender and paired well with the teriyaki and rice. That rice was delish! Asparagus didn't blow any air up my skirt unfortunately, because I really wanted it to blow my mind. I felt like we left a lot of food on our plates, but that could've just been how it was. We just felt... underwhelmed and wasn't picking up on all the hype.

If Yelp would let me give Pivot Prime a 10/5, I would…read more We've been 5 or 6 times since they opened, including family celebrations, a couple of date nights, and a business dinner, and Pivot Prime has become one of our favorite restaurants in Omaha. It's where I take family when I want to treat them to something they wouldn't necessarily do for themselves, but it works just as well for a date night or a dinner where you need to impress someone. We're already planning to come back for our five-year anniversary. We almost always get the ribeye, medium rare, and they consistently nail the cook. Every. Single. Time. My husband gets the bone marrow bordelaise, I get the au poivre, and everyone is happy. We did splurge on the flaming tomahawk once, and yes, the presentation is fun and dramatic, but thankfully it isn't a gimmick covering up mediocre food. The steak itself was phenomenal. Whatever steak you order, get the potato leek dauphinois. I cannot stress this enough. It is ridiculously creamy, rich, and one of the best steakhouse sides I've had. My husband and I genuinely argue over who gets the last of it, which is probably the strongest endorsement I can give a potato. The shishito Caesar is our favorite salad so far. It's huge, super crisp, a little spicy, and has an excellent dressing. More importantly, there's actual flavor beyond just "we put something spicy in a Caesar." It's one of the few salads I actively look forward to ordering at a steakhouse. We've worked our way through a good portion of the appetizers at this point. RiRi's chicken is fantastic, the beef carpaccio is amazing, the meatball is superb, and the hamachi crudo tastes like summer on a plate. I realize I'm starting to sound like Pivot Prime has me on payroll. They do not. I have unfortunately paid them quite a bit of money. For drinks, I repeatedly order the French Kiss. Tart, sweet, bubbly, and dangerously easy to drink. My husband usually goes for an Old Fashioned with one of their Penelope selections, of which they have several. Their cocktail and whiskey program is clearly being handled by people who know what they're doing. We also never leave without dessert. The affogato is my winner, but anything chocolate we've had has been genuinely good quality. Their seasonal cheesecake with goat cheese whip is also incredible and exactly the kind of slightly unexpected detail Pivot does so well. Beyond the food, the service is a huge part of why we keep coming back. The servers are knowledgeable without being pretentious, friendly, smart, funny, and actually helpful when you're deciding what to order. The atmosphere manages to hit a sweet spot where I can bring family for a celebration, have a proper date night with my husband, or sit down for a business dinner and it feels appropriate for all three. It's upscale and special without feeling stuffy. I do wish their steak knives were better quality, each time they run on the dull side. But otherwise, my one complaint? No weekend happy hour. Pivot, some of us would like to irresponsibly order another French Kiss at a discount on a Saturday. Please consider the people. Otherwise, genuinely 10/5. After this many visits, I feel pretty confident saying the consistency is there. We bring people we love here, we choose it for our own special occasions, and we keep finding reasons to come back. Omaha has a lot of very good restaurants right now, but Pivot Prime is firmly one of the best.

Food was horrible first time overly salted, but service was excellent so we thought we would try again. Now food was better but still underwhelming. The service was sub par. No cleaning of a spill, no plate brought for sides when my bowl of ragout didn't allow for sides, I am shocked they don't have bread service still with their prices, the waitress did not seem to have a high knowledge of the menu, no specials, the dessert was ordered incorrectly and overall just not to the expectations of the pricing. Our bill was over $100/person when it felt more like a roadhouse or something. Also, I don't really understand the whole obsession over the crack fries. They are fried potato wedges that are cooked well but don't have much taste and yes the aioli is good but it just seems like a weird thing to be obsessed over. Maybe I have too high expectations of this place because mentally they are in the spot of Mohagany's and they are hard to match. I do not think we will be back.

It wasn't a bad steak, it just wasn't great…read more We came in as a pretty large group (over 10 people) and most of us ordered the Ribeye medium rare. We all agreed that none of us actually got medium rare but more medium. However, high marks were given because the steak itself was decent and the sides were excellent. I will say, the price was pretty affordable in comparison to Texas steakhouses, especially when they come with two sides. With that said, my steak could have been seasoned a tad more. Also love the fact you can choose your own style of steak knife. Brownie points there.

Our host was incredibly warm and welcoming, and she made a genuine connection with us from the moment we arrived, making us feel like more than just guests. Our server was fantastic -- knowledgeable, welcoming, and patient. She shared that the chef had traveled to Spain and brought some of that culinary influence into the menu, which made the experience even more interesting. I loved the high-tech touch of being able to explore the menu and wine selections on the tablet. You can take your time learning about the ingredients and the different options without feeling uncomfortable asking questions. It made exploring the menu feel fun and approachable. The food was outstanding. We had the octopus, beef tartare, steak, fried olives, and the green sauce that accompanied our meal. Everything was delicious, with beautiful balance and just the right combination of flavors. One of the things that really impressed us was the presentation. The cornbread was shaped like little ears of corn and was absolutely delicious. Our server explained that they use sous-vide techniques, which added that high-tech, creative element to the experience. The attention to detail was incredible. We also enjoyed wine, a mojito, and a Tom Collins, and everything was excellent. The décor was also beautiful and inviting, making the whole restaurant feel special without being intimidating. From the food and presentation to the technology, drinks, service, and atmosphere, every detail seemed thoughtfully designed. Dynamite is definitely more than just a meal -- it's an experience. We had an amazing time and would absolutely come back!

I'd definitely come back to try more of the regular menu next time we're in Omaha--even if we weren't staying at The Farnam!
