Absolutely loved our experience at Pivot Prime! We went for a Friday night date night and arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation. They were ready for us and took us to one of the smaller rooms with about 10 to 12 tables in it, which was separate from the main area which was louder. I really liked the quieter, more intimate atmosphere of the smaller room. The ambience is upscale but comfortable...perfect date vibe. The food was flavorful, well-seasoned, and very high-quality. I can't remember having a better filet mignon at a restaurant in recent years. I was happy that they had one of my favorite red wines, Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon, which was a really nice pairing with the red meat. We loved our shared sides, and of course I had to go with the fun appetizer, the beef tallow candle with bread. Loved the addition of the balsamic with the beef tallow to cut through some of the richness. The service was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. And the only negative part of the experience was the dull steak knives. I was surprised because I expected a steak place to really have nice sharp knives, but I had a hard time cutting my asparagus, let alone my steak. I asked for a sharper one, and it wasn't much better. Definitely suggest they replace or sharpen their knives more often. read more

I've been excited to check out pivot for some time now and while we had a really good meal, the price point did not match the experience. We started with the tallow candle which we loved and was so unique, I recommend this dish. We then ordered a dozen oysters for $44 but they were poorly shucked, one oyster had at least 5 shell fragments. For entrees we went with the butcher block, I loved the opportunity to sample 4 different cuts of meat and they were delicious but when the block was dropped off the meats were misidentified by the server... when an item is $150 those details need to be well executed. Cocktails were creative, I loved the wasabi martini and our Brussels sprouts side was also excellent. It was hard to write this, for the most part we had a very good meal and I love that pivot took over the old mahogany spot but the meal was nearly $300 and for that price point in Omaha some of the details mentioned above need to be cleaned up. read more

Overrated and overpriced. As I write this review, this place has 4.7 stars and with many glowing reviews. I dissent. The beef tallow candle with bread was okay, but nothing super. The bread is fine, but real sourdough would have been better. Both salads were way too big; the size and price should be cut in half. I had the Cesar and it was a huge disappointment. Not tart and sharp. The anchovy was nothing. I get that beef is high now, but the meat wasn't great either. At least it was cooked right. I ordered a specific brand of wine that was slightly over $100. The waitress brought out a much higher priced bottle and claimed that they were out of my brand. I said no and was going to reorder something in the same price range; Austin Hope per a Yelp reviewer. The waitress then found the brand that I first ordered. I was wearing a suit and my date was nicely dressed so maybe the waitress thought she could pull a fast one on me. Hard to say. I won't attribute a bad motive to her; I just report the facts. I was very surprised at how loud this place was. read more

This is a fantastic newer spot in Omaha! The location is beautiful and has a high end psh feel without being too stuffy. The menu items are creatively crafted and each dish is well seasoned, beautifully plated and thoughtfully balanced. There are no bad items on the menu. The beef tallow candle is a must try as well as the lobster appetizer. The shishito Caesar was fantastic and unique. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable and added to the overall experience. We thoroughly enjoyed this place and is one of our favorite finer dining spots! read more

For our second wedding anniversary, we decided to celebrate at Pivot Prime and we're so glad we did! Since our anniversary fell on a Tuesday, the restaurant wasn't too busy, which made the evening feel even more special. When the hostess walked us to our table, we were surprised to be seated in what felt like a private room, complete with a cozy fireplace. For cocktails I had the Chocolate Espresso Martini and my husband chose the Signature Jack & Coke. After one sip, he immediately turned to me and said he had to know the recipe it was that good, especially with the foam on top. For appetizers, we tried the Beef Tallow Candle. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it ended up being such a fun and delicious experience. The candle was fully edible and paired with the fresh sourdough bread. I also ordered the Maine Lobster Bisque, which had just the right amount of lobster meat. For our main courses I went with the Truffle Ravioli. The ricotta filling was delicious. My husband ordered the 16oz Prime Ribeye and savored every bite (he even shared a few with me). He paired it with the potato leek gratin dauphinois. Our server was fantastic. She even treated us to a celebratory champagne toast, which was such a thoughtful touch. Every staff member we interacted with made us feel welcome and taken care of. read more

We had such a great time trying out Pivot in its first week open! The menu is larger than most steak houses, and we struggled to make our decision, but had great input from our server James. We ended up with the filet Rossini (pivot recommendation), and the 16oz ribeye. These were both incredible--cooked perfectly, with delicious seasoning/spices! The ribeye I got was SO tender, and the flavor of my friends Rossini was perfect. Described by our server as a Christmas dinner--he was spot on! One of my favorite dishes was the brussel sprouts. With cooked apples, cheese, and plenty of oil/balsamic flavors, this was the perfect blend of flavor and texture on the crispy sprouts! I highly recommend getting some!! Our drinks were impressive as well. Although the cocktail list is full of whiskey (not my thing), I was able to get 2 of the mocktails, and added a shot of Tito's. These were perfectly sweet and refreshing! Overall this was not only an incredible meal, but such a fancy atmosphere, and most of all an INCREDIBLE staff!! We were waited on by no less than 7 members, and probably saw at least 30 during our visit! There was NO shortage of anything thanks to the staff who all were smiling every time we interacted with them. I highly recommend coming in and trying this spot!! read more

Wonderful addition to the steakhouse scene in Omaha. From the Salted Edge family, Pivot is in the old Mahogany location with a fresh, modern look. We were fortunate enough to get reservations opening weekend. The signature beef tallow candle is a fun twist on a bread course but our favorite was the exceptional "Best parts of French Onion Soup". We had the signature steak and a 16 oz. Ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly to temp. Plus I love getting to puck my steak knife. Favorite side dish was the cheesy goodness of the potato and leek au gratin. We closed with the banana foster bread pudding, which was bruleed tableside. The service was mostly great, although we did sit waiting for our check for quite a bit. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

I was very impressed with the food, service and ambiance. This was my second visit and it was great. The wait staff were very knowledgeable about the menu especially the food allergies. I have a gluten allergy and my waiter Peter guided me through the menu quickly but completely. Everything was cooked to perfection. After leaving a review previously about the absence of a gluten free indicator in the menu, Pivot made this change and delivered. I am glad I gave Pivot a second chance. This change told me that they truly care and listen to their patrons. That attention is clearly present from the greeting at the door to the last bite of a delicious meal. I am excited for my next visit. Great job Peter! Well done Pivot! read more

If I could give this 10 stars I would! Fantastic ambiance, inventive menu and phenomenal service. This is the best steakhouse in Omaha hands down. Ok let's start from the beginning, the wine menu is fantastic! So many great bottles and 2 Cabernet Franc options and Bella Glos by the glass!! There's also a huge selection of bourbons and whiskeys to choose from. It was so hard to decide on appetizers because every single one of them sounds delicious. We went with the bone marrow beef tallow candle (unctuous and so flavorful) and the Chicken Ricci with caviar (perfectly coated and fried with a slight hint of salty ocean). Both were amazing and set the excitement for our main courses for sure. The steaks are off the charts delicious, perfectly cooked and sliced. The toppers are just as exciting, crab cake oscar, chimichurri (best I have ever tasted) and an off-menu fois gras butter that was incredible. The sides are also hard to choose from because of so many great options. We had the Lobster mac and cheese and the Leek and Potato au gratin. Both are saucy, well seasoned and perfect with and cut of meat! Next time I want to try the truffle ravioli as a side! And dessert! Gotta have dessert! From the chocolate espresso martini and the key lime pie martini to the lemon curd pavlova and chocolate mousse tower....you smile, keep eating and enjoying every single bite. If you don't do this, you're doing it wrong! Our server Mike was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items and had great recommendations, including some off-menu choices that made our dinner extra special. Chef Joel has curated a perfect gem in the sea of Omaha steak houses and is winning the game with Pivot Prime. Go and experience it, you'll be glad you did! read more

Absolutely amazing. After the dinner I had at Pivot last night I feel confident saying this place might be a contender for best steakhouse in Omaha. Since this is the same building that used to house the original Mahogany before the moved down street I was curious to see how it would look. Everything from the decor to the layout has been completely redone, and it looks beautiful. We started out with the wagyu meatball and a bottle of red wine, the meatball was huge, perfect for 2 or 3 people. It was one of the better appetizers I've had in a while, the balance between the amount of spice and the overall texture and flavor were perfect. For dinner I opted for the 8oz red wine aged Manhattan steak with garlic butter, and it did not disappoint. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and the seasoning was spot on. The butter added the right balance of richness to the meat. The service was wonderful, everyone we encountered from the hostesses to the bartenders were warm and helpful. I have not been this impressed with a new restaurant for a while, Pivot is a welcome addition to the Omaha dining scene. read more

I walked into Pivot Prime not knowing quite what to expect, and left absolutely blown away. The service was warm and attentive, and the food was outstanding from start to finish. I started with a glass of Willamette Pinot Noir and the grilled shishito Caesar. The baby romaine had a perfect char, and the espelette Caesar dressing, anchovy, crispy potato, and parmesan created such a balanced, flavorful bite. For my entrée, the red wine aged Manhattan steak was cooked perfectly. The 14-day aged Winterfrost American Wagyu, topped with blue cheese butter and served with jumbo asparagus, was rich, tender, and unforgettable. Easily one of the best meals I've had in Omaha--and I'm already looking forward to coming back. read more

Definitely an amazing night! The service was incredible and the staff was so friendly--always available to answer any questions we had. My favorite dish by far was the Brussels sprouts (baked apple, peanut miso dressing, spiced cashew, espelette, and pecorino). They were so good that I was still craving more even after we left! Already planning my next trip back! read more

Hi-ho! Kermit the Frog here, and let me tell you; Pivot Prime is the kind of place that makes a frog want to put on a tiny suit jacket and declare, "Yes, I do belong at a fancy steakhouse." This spot used to be Mahogany (which we already loved), but somehow... someway... Pivot Prime hopped right over it. Better food, better vibe, better everything. It was the perfect place for a pretty special night: celebrating my master's degree! (Yes, frogs go to grad school. Very advanced amphibious curriculum.) Our waitress asked what we were celebrating, and when we told her, she lit up. She made us feel seen, appreciated, and genuinely celebrated; the kind of service that sticks with you. Drinks? Ohhhhh buddy. I ordered a coffee martini that looked like it belonged in a magazine spread titled "Frogs With Exquisite Taste." It tasted even better. My wife ordered a banana cocktail that made her so happy she immediately ordered another; which is always the truest review. Food? Ribbiting. She had the salmon over sea greens with caviar folded into the sauce. One bite and we both said the same thing: "This tastes like the ocean... in the good way." Like the version of the ocean from a memory montage in a movie. I went classic: steak frites; but not the boring, thin little fries you usually get. These were thick-cut, beef-tallow-fried masterpieces, crispy enough to make me forget I'm usually more of a fly guy. And the steak? Massive. Delicious. I ate half and immediately felt victorious. The other half is waiting for me like a gift from Past Frog to Future Frog. We were so blown away by everything (the food, the drinks, the service, the whole vibe) that we left the biggest tip we've left in years. No hesitation. No second thoughts. Worth every penny. We'll be back. Probably embarrassingly soon. Final Verdict: Pivot Prime isn't just good; it's "sing a banjo song about it" good. Absolutely phenomenal. Hop there immediately. read more

Do I have to give any stars? We are done coming here. We have given this place (and Salted Edge) so much grace and the service continues to fall flat. Once again I question the leadership of this organization. We will not ever come back. read more

This place deserves 6, no 10, wait 25 stars. It is that good. Jordan was our server and she lit up the room with her attitude and smile. They knew it was our anniversary and they pulled out all the stops. From our greeting to the final bill this was an experience we soon shall not forget. We loved the build out, cozy and warm tones, not too loud. Great improvement from the old restaurant that occupied this space. For cocktails we had dirty martinis, then the tallow candle for our starter. So unique, and delicious flavors with the sourdough bread for dipping. Then the lobster bisque. Chunks of lobster meat did not go unnoticed. She had the Wagyu selection for the night, a beef shoulder cooked perfectly medium rare. I had the filet with truffle béarnaise. Probably the most perfectly balanced flavor and doneness of any steak I have ever had out. And the Crack Fries. Wow. Dessert was perfect as we enjoyed the pistachio ice cream with expresso poured over and a meringue cookie. Service, food and ambience are all exactly what one would expect for a fine dining establishment like Pivot Prime. Bravo! read more

Crab cake, beef tartar, and seafood tower were excellent. We were not expecting to leave with a bill of $360 so be warned, but it was amazing. read more

Excellent food and service. The added bonus was the amazing seafood options and added extras like soup, salad and appetizers. The shrimp were so good. $60 per person is a bargain for amazing, all you can eat steak and seafood especially when you consider a 12 oz steak with a salad and a side at Ruth's Chris is $100. This place was awesome! read more

Service was out of this world! Everything we had was delicious! Thank you for a fantastic meal.

Restaurant is nice and modern, with pleasant ambiance and great service. However, the particular day we were there, it smelled bad in the entryway. The beef tallow candle was quite delicious, I would definitely recommend! The truffled lobster Mac and cheese (it is $27) and Brussels sprouts were also really good. For dessert, the banana foster and triple layer cake were quite tasty! However, the crack fries were mediocre at best and $14!! The oil tasted old, the fries were not sufficiently seasoned, and the garlic aioli lacked flavor. The steak frites were alright, but the meat was quite fatty, and way too expensive for what you ended up getting. The béarnaise sauce was underwhelming and did not really add to the dish. The ribeye was ok, but under seasoned. We tried a couple of the butters, in my opinion, they are ok, but very rich and do not make up for the under-seasoning of the meat itself. Additionally, you have to pay $4 to add a butter when the steak is already $70. The peach crème brûlée was not good at all in my opinion. The price is just FAR too high for what you get, especially in terms of the steaks and entrees. All in all, you would be much better off at a different steak restaurant in Omaha. read more

Lovely bar and excellent service with a nice ambiance. The wine list was slightly disappointing for me, with mostly California wines, but the cocktails were great. The steak tartare was delicious, as were the king crab legs, but they were $115 and I got less than two whole legs including the crab salad that was served on the side. It was plenty of food for me, but the price was a bit high, even considering this location is far from the sea. My boyfriend's steak was perfectly cooked, but the mushrooms were a little too acidic and the brussels were nothing spectacular. Didn't really pick up on any French inspiration, which I would have loved, but overall not bad. Just a little over priced. read more

Take what you know about fine dining in Omaha as far as steak, service, and ambiance go and toss that aside because Pivot has raised the bar so high that the others will have a hard time catching up or meeting the new diamond standard. Pivot is not just another new steak place to try in Omaha. Pivot is an experience that rivals Chicago, New York, Boston, Dallas... FRANCE. There's Michelin quality there. I hope Michelin comes and finds them... read more
