My friend and I finally got to try Salted Edge for her belated birthday dinner. We tried a little bit of everything, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is quite lovely, right on the water. The highlights for me were the Jam it In Smash cocktail (tequila, berry jam, and lime) and the bread board! We also tried the deviled eggs, bison sliders, and some oysters! Our server was friendly and helpful navigating the menu for the first time. I will definitely return for a special occassion dinner! read more

Drinks were amazing and the food was good. I would recommend this place if you are wanting a place to be seen. You order a main entree and then order separate sides to finish out your meal. The sides are somewhat smaller than other restaurants of this style. I have visited other establishments with food just as good as Salted Edge but was half the price. read more

Service was spectacular, ambiance is fine dining, but not too bourgeoisie, and the dry-aged ribeye was the best steak I have had in some time. That's a high bar because I have worked in and even run several steak restaurants. Can't wait to go again. read more

Great place!! I thought it was just going to be super bougie and maybe a little uptight, but it was great. Waiter gave us a rundown on why it's there and it started as a place for people to be able to be on the lake and come in for a great meal. It was a laidback and relaxing atmosphere. My husband and I went for my birthday and they had a little birthday card for me. So sweet! Food was great and reasonably priced. Not a cheap date but great spot go and enjoy the lake and great food. read more

My food was hands down a 5, my fiancée said a four for his-he wasn't blown away. The loudness and lack of cozy getaway tables in the environment doesn't quite suit the food quality. They might benefit by adding some acoustical tiles under the table tops. I've seen this work marvelously. That said, for french onion soup made with braised short ribs that's the second best I've had in my life (and I've eaten a ridiculous amount looking for the best), I'll just have to deal with it. Maybe we'll find out when they are the slowest and plan around that. I also had the scallops, he had the steak frites. Great old fashion. We will be back. read more

We enjoyed our visit to this distant restaurant. It's an attractive location. It's waterside at West Shores Lake, with an attractive view facing west. Seating indoors and waterside, weather permitting. The service is plentiful and cheerful. They happily sat us outside due to being already booked indoors. We managed to get back inside due to chill winds. They were very accommodating. The food was delicious. We had a charcuterie plate to start. It was a delicious blend of cheese, meats and fruits. For dinner, we split the chicken dish. It was plentiful and succulent. Overall we would return. read more

Back at Salted edge last night. Friend from England is in town so 5 of us went for dinner. Once again absolutely amazing ! Everything we had was perfectly cooked and prepared. The mushroom + truffle pizza was a huge hit. So delicious ! Ned time I am coming for just pizza I think. I had the steak and frites. Perfectly cooked medium rare. So much flavor. Loved it! We shared the bourbon cake for dessert. Could have crushed that by myself. Love this restaurant! read more

This is my second Salted Edge review, because I just got to try their new brunch offerings. As always, the food was impeccable. We got a bread board for the table, which I would absolutely recommend. Our hostess was so helpful in substituting one of the breads for a gluten free donut from Sugared Ledge next door to accommodate one of our group that is gf. The savory was delicious and the sweet melted in my mouth. For my main course I got Amanda's Beni and it was fantastic. The crab cakes were large and delicious, and I love that it was served on pieces of grilled baguette instead of an English muffin. If you're a brunch person you absolutely need to go to Salted Edge! read more

We have tried and tried and tried to give this place grace and it just continues to disappoint. They consistently serve luke warm martinis. They do not chill their martini glasses which seems like basic mixology 101. But then don't shake it long enough to make up for a warm glass. This may seem picky but a reasonable expectation for a place of this caliber. I don't see this place surviving and I would love to see it improve but we've tried to give it a chance. We've spent a lot of money here for a less than excellent experience every time. The food is good! I question the leadership. I hope you take this review to heart that you need to take a serious look at excellence and consider if you are really providing that kind of experience. Take the time to hire the best and/or train those who need development. Sadly we will not be back or recommend to others. read more

Salted Edge is absolutely wonderful. It was on my Omaha "to try" bucket list and it lived up to my expectations. The Bread Board is a must for all bread lovers. I got the braised short rib and it was the best I've ever had - so tender and flavorful and the potato cake underneath was the best compliment. the other entrees we got were just as good though! The lobster mac ACTUALLY had decent-sized lobster chunks too! score! The drink selection was great and the atmosphere was modern and nice dim lighting for the evening. Our service was nice too! The parking lot is a slight jaunt away from the entrance but still easily accessible. I definitely recommend and will be back to try the whole menu (especially that HUGE chicken entree)! read more

Had a wonderful anniversary dinner, Our server was really nice, I think her name was Sophie or Sophia. We went with the ribeye special and half a dozen oysters. Ribeye was absolutely perfect, we ordered it rare. I felt the pommes aligot was amazing but just slightly too salty but boyfriend thought it was perfect. We also loved the oysters from Massachusetts. Pistachio cheesecake was to die for! Overall I will definitely come back for other special occasions, there are many other items on the menu I'm dying to try. read more

Went to Salted Edge for our 20th Anniversary. Reservations made 3 weeks in advance and asked for a 'nice table with a view' to celebrate. Called back multiple times during business hours to ask for a corkage fee in order to bring a special wine. No answer and they never returned our call. Showed up and seated at a less than stellar seat in a very busy and loud room on the north side of the restaurant. No view other than the undeveloped lot to the north. Sat near the window and sun glared in my eyes the whole dinner through the break in the blinds. My chosen meal was 'sold out for the season'. Spent $163 on two appetizers, two alcoholic drinks, and two entrees. My plum creek chicken was pretty good but green beans were barely warm and super crisp/under cooked. Would have rather spent the money at another one of the Omaha Metro fine eating establishments instead. Brittnee (server) was delightful. Mixed drinks pretty good. Old fashioned fair/pretty plain Jane. On an upbeat note, they welcomed us with a happy anniversary card and sent us away after complementary prosecco drink. Overall: Ambiance-less than stellar. LOUD Table/chair comfort-less than stellar Mixed Drinks-well done Food-pretty good overall, but maybe not representative of the menu price Service-Brittnee was excellent! Lady that brought the bread - we now refer to her as "grumpy bread girl." I'd spend my money and time elsewhere next time. read more

We had a yummy & lovely time! But dang was it expensive, and we usually don't care what a meal costs! it was all really good and like nothing I've ever had before, shrimp on a deviled egg, who would have thought, but that was my favorite item we ordered. My husband's favorite item we ordered was the Bread Board, specifically the Corn Bread! My favorite was all the specific butters for each bread, wow they really thought that entire board through with all the little details. Service was top notch. They were always there refilling waters, checking in, and asking if we needed anymore drinks and food orders! Bringing new silverware for each dish, running down the drink & food menu since it was our first time, she explained the restaurant and the chef and his background, which was really cool to get that knowledge! The building is updated, modern, beautiful space, love the indoor and outdoor seating, love that parking is close, and plenty of it! We did have 6:15pm reservations, showed up at 6pm and table wasn't ready, waited about 10 minutes and it was ready for us! HIGHLY recommend reservations for any night! Tables were close to one another, but it wasn't loud enough to hear other conversations, and the place was FULL the entire time we were there! Food was quick, we were in and out in a little over an hour! Everything was played so nicely and looked really thought through! read more

50 Went for brunch,, we had 13 people in a reserved room. Our waitress was trying her best but was so busy with other tables ( she should have been assigned to the room only ) Food was cold, were out of steak and eggs, also out of breakfast potatoes because everyone got French fries with their meal. Everyone had their meal and one person was waiting a while for theirs. Couple of people had to send their eggs back. Totally under cooked. Highly disappointed and most everyone said they would not come back ! Food read more

We finally made it out to try Salted Edge! I was unsure of what to expect but the food blew me away. The interior is very minimalist and modern looking (we went during the holiday season and I wish it was a bit more decorated). The music was odd for how upscale the restaurant is but overall it was such a great experience with our the food and the service. We ordered a couple of bread boards to start. Each bread was so different and came with the most amazing specialty salt on the side. The Herb Butter Buns were my favorite. For dinner we ordered the classic burger, truffle risotto, another truffle risotto but instead of shrimp she added salmon, pear balsamic pizza, pepperoni pizza, steak and fries, and the surf and turf meal. For sides, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. The drinks were also a 10/10 phenomenal. We ordered an espresso martini, hot toddy, spicy marg (Don't be salty, Chef!), beer, and old fashions. The spicy marg was definitely my favorite. Of course the entire experience wouldn't have been complete without trying the desserts. We ordered two desserts - the butterscotch bourbon creme brulee, and the pistachio cheesecake. Both desserts were truly incredible, if you can only get one, not much can beat butterscotch! If you are looking for an elevated dining experience in the Omaha area, this should be on your list! Hot Tips: - The espresso martini is very espresso forward, not too creamy - The spicy marg (Don't be salty, Chef!) is the perfect summer drink but also just a great drink in general - The steak and fries is worth every penny - Try the butterscotch dessert before anything else read more

It was a very loud environment- thought we'd try it for date night, not for couples wanting to sit and talk. The service was fine but the food was sub par. Ordered lobster pasta and it tasted like warm oranges, 8 individual pieces of pasta for $35, after 2 bites couldn't eat the rest, ick! read more

Such a nice spot with very modern feel, and one of the best lake views around Omaha! The outdoor patio is by far the best vibe I've found in the city, from the modern bar decor to the comfortable lounge chairs, all with an excellent view of the gorgeous lake. The food was amazing--we went during a soft opening and were able to order from 3 different menus which all had a few entree/app options. Short rib was my favorite! I'm not even sure what the sides were but they paired very well flavor and texture-wise--some sort of fried cheese base, and a creamed spinach under the short rib. The pizza was fantastic as well--very thin crust but not crunchy, charred on the bottom, and very fluffy at the top. One of my favorite pizza doughs I've ever had! The shrimp cocktail was great as well, although I didn't feel this was a great value for $22, but the cocktail sauce was great. My favorite taste here was the one night stand espresso martini--so sweet and delicious yet I could feel that it was still a strong drink! Best tasting drink I've had in quite a while Overall I will for sure be back for the drinks and patio view/vibe. The food is pricy, but very good and worth it if you are ready to splurge! read more

Ambiance was good but I had asked to sit closer to "the view" (and it was a beautiful sunset") and was told all seats were reserved so we were seated up front. Seats remained empty as we were there early. I let Austin how disappointed we were and he let management know. They immediately apologized. We will go again and bring friends.

Immaculate is an understatement. From the atmosphere, to the staff, to the food, it was all incredible! Although it was all delicious, the Brown Butter Bourbon Crème Brûlée, Scallops and Risotto from the shrimp dish were true standouts. Chef Joel has curated a menu that encompasses a wide range of options that make it possible for everyone to find something they enjoy! The staff went above and beyond! I prefer a sweet wine (mainly moscato) and our waiter helped to find me a sweet white that was absolutely delightful with my scallops. And to top it all off, after being nervous about an 8:15 seating (a bit late for us) as we walked out we were offered a box of leftover donuts from Sugared Ledge. Absolutely made my husband's night! And with a quick pop in the microwave the next morning they were as good as fresh! read more

Absolutely terrible. The food has no flavor or is too salty, over cooked, and served the wrong temps. Fruit was warm, eggs cold.

Service was excellent. I had the aged ribeye, which was cooked to perfection (MR). My wife had the salmon which was also prepared excellently. We shared the lobster Mac and cheese which was also very good. Noise level was not too bad, I'd give it a 3 on a scale of 1-5. Only disappointment was the drinks being over priced, short pours. read more

The SiL chose this as her birthday dinner and I was ECSTATIC to try a bison steak so it was full steam ahead to this restaurant after work. We walked into a wonderfully elegant restaurant that felt modern and to air on the side of finer dining. We were greeted by our waitress Brittnee and she knew that menu inside and out, what was hip and how to describe everything as well as give insight to possible tastes. Probably one of the best waitresses I've had the chance to experience so far. We started off with the bread board and all the breads could honestly make you want to make fresh bread every day for the rest of your life and turn your nose up at the bread aisle in any store. The corn bread was extremely moist and had a wonderful frosting on it. Absolutely a must have as an appetizer. The bison steak was tender with a very beautiful earthy flavor and cooked absolutely perfect. However I think the Salmon really shined here because I am still trying to remember what was with that corn because I could eat that with the salmon every single day and not get tired of it. I was barely able to snap the photo before the misses had that plate cleared. I did not taste the lobster bisque but saw that yelp needed photos for many of the items so I snapped the brother in laws. The drinks are something I only wish I could create. In all, I strongly recommend this restaurant. For date night, a business meeting, or a random urge to eat delicious food from a chef that studied in France. You really can't go wrong. read more

We went for Social Hour on a Wednesday and were pleasantly surprised to get a nice high top by the bar. Our server Mike was very good. Made some delicious cocktails, especially my Whiskey Sour. Probably the best one I have ever tasted. The deviled eggs were very pedestrian, very little flavor for $3 a piece. The braised short rib fried balls were mushy, not much meat. The pizzas, we had a mushroom and a sausage, were okay. Not at all like the quality pies at other places here in Omaha. Truffle fries were good, think they were the frozen kind, but we enjoyed them. The pork belly sliders! These and my cocktail will bring me back for sure. They were delicious. Cool build out, great service and fun vibe (meaning very loud) so we will be back for social hour for sure but want to sit outside next time. read more

Outstanding! We were a party of 4 for a birthday dinner. The food, the ambiance, the service was all amazing! The fire roasted artichoke was tangy and tender. The shrimp on the shrimp cocktail were super meaty. My husband never comments on food and he mentioned the size of the shrimp. The bison bolognese was filling and flavorful. The strip on the steak frites was soooo buttery. Everyone took home some leftovers and we're excited to eat them again. We will be back!! read more

I was very excited for our first trip to salted edge. I didn't know what to expect and had no premonitions before arriving. Initially entering the restaurant, you pass by large cuts of beef in dry aging refrigerators. The restaurant itself has a unique modern vibe to it mixed with a modern kitchen type feel. The dining room opens to the kitchen and serving window along with the area where the pizza oven is. There is also a very large wine room off to the one side of the restaurant and a large bar opposite of that. On the other two sides of the entire restaurant is mostly windows looking out over the lake, the restaurant is very inviting....up scale to a certain degree but also casual. Our waiter came around to take drink orders and I typically like bourbon so I asked him for the bourbon/drink menu which he said they didn't have one. It just so happens that they had a brand of bourbon that I liked and a variation of that type of bourbon that I had never had and I was quite impressed with the high west double rye. My wife opted for the sangria which she said was very very good. The entire table got a couple bread appetizer plates, which is the star of the appetizer selection here at this restaurant. Let me tell you, it may not seem all that intriguing, but the 4-5 different types of bread are made in house, comes out warm with different types of spreads, and it is flat out fantastic! As for our meals, my wife got the chicken breast and I got the bone in ribeye. We also got the lobster Mac to share for a side. The ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium and seasoned well, but I think the cut/quality of meat was off. I found the steak to not be as tender as I would prefer and some pieces were chewy. Disappointed for the price you pay - if I recall $78. I hate to dock a restaurant for this but if you're commanding a top of the market price, the quality should match. Unfortunately with meat, anything can happen so I give this one a partial pass. My wife was head over heels for her chicken breast. I do not think you could've cooked it any better. It was incredibly moist and delicious. She was raving about this dish. As for the lobster Mac, it was a healthy portion and there was plenty of lobster meat in the dish. The cheese sauce was creamy. The noodles were good and the flavor was great overall. I would've liked more lobster flavor, which I'm surprised didn't really come through on this dish. 3 of the people we were with got the short ribs and raved about them. Apparently fork tender and delicious! read more

Had the BEST night at Salted Edge with family of 8 last night! Chris, our waiter, was awesome! Totally attentive and timed out our service perfectly! Our food was so delicious.

Went to Salted Edge for their first weekend of brunch and it was delicious! My fiancée got the fabulous French toast and I got a very flavorful short rib huevos rancheros.

It was very nice to have a view of the water here in Nebraska, and the restaurant itself was so beautiful. I will definitely be returning for dinner service! read more
