    Lobster Bisque
    Grant S.

    My family whole family (6 adults and 4 kids) went to Sand Point for dinner before our Good Friday Church service and had a phenomenal experience! From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by friendly staff. Our waitress was very friendly and delightfully kind and patient with the kiddos! Great service from start to finish! The ambiance was super fun, feeling like an upscale New England waterside tavern. Loved the nautical themes and decor! The drink and food menu was great! Several of us got local beers and wines. Drink local! The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Everyone loved each dish they got, but I am partial to what I got: the Haddock fish sandwich with Lobster Bisque as a $3 upcharge side. I was debating between this meal and one of the fancier entrees, but this was such a great deal because I got fish on the sandwich AND their phenomenal soup for less than the fancier entrees. A great deal! The lobster bisque was DIVINE. Everything was so so good, but the Lobster Bisque was the star of the show. It came with a shot of sherry on the side to pour over top before eating to really bring out the rich flavors. I could have had the bisque as my entire meal and been happy. It was incredible. The haddock sandwich was bursting with flavor and was lighter/fresher since it was made with cornmeal instead of flour fried. Yummy! I would definitely get this again! My spouse also did the soup/sandwich pair with the Reuben and clam chowder. He loved both, but we would recommend getting fish since that's their speciality. All the adults loved their food and the kids ate their entire meals with glee. Delicious, filling, and kid friendly! Prices were reasonable, the space was clean, plentiful parking, and reservations always welcome. If you haven't been to Sand Point, try it out today! You will not be disappointed!

    There are not many fresh raw seafood restaurants in Omaha and when I saw they had a promotion, I knew I had to try it. I came to try their Thursdays $1 oysters and they're very fresh. Most of the oysters served are from the east coast and the head chef came out to show and explain us about the oysters that were about to have. Great experience and atmosphere and I'll definitely come and try some of their other food on the menu too

    Alfredo Capellini with shrimp
    Lori B.

    Had reservations last night (Saturday) at 6:30. We were seated right away, noticed it wasn't very busy. Service was a bit slow to start but we were with another couple so we were busy visiting. Got better from there, place started filling up, and our server was very helpful in recommending apps and dinner. Food came out quickly and everyone loved their food. Two of us had the Connecticut lobster roll (warm) and it had plenty of sweet lobster in the roll. Hubby had the Alfredo Capellini with shrimp and he raved about it. SIL had the open faced seared tuna and absolutely loved it. I also had the lobster bisque with the optional shot of sherry....soooo good! They also bring out their house cornbread and butter beforehand which is a bit thin and dense but still good. This was our third visit and will not be our last, hard to find anyone that makes a better lobster roll.

    Sand Point was awesome! When entering, the restaurant was pretty quiet overall. There was lots of seating available and it was easy to make reservations. The service was great, our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I really enjoyed the Lobster Roll and French fries as a side, all tasted so fresh for being in the middle of the country! We also had the oysters and they were fantastic as well. Will definitely be back!

    Tuna
    Kristin G.

    The delicious food *almost* made up for the poor service. (Patrons should never have to wait so long for their drinks or to get their appetizer plates and menus removed. Basic.) Nice ambience. Tuna with sweet potato and citrus was . Bathroom also needs a refresh and redesign if this restaurant is going to live up to its ambition.

    Gluten free open faced mahi mahi sandwhich and flash fried Brussel sprouts.
    Abby F.

    Gluten sensitive girlie here! The service was great, the food was pretty good, but the prices seemed a little steep for the serving sizes. I got the open faces mahi mahi sandwhich that was on special. They made it gluten free for me with a bun instead of the regular bun. It was tasty, but very little fish. The aide was flash fried Brussel sprouts. They were the start of the meal for sure! We started the meal with a cup of lobster bisque and clam chowder. They came out cold, but the staff was great and got us new pipping hot bowls quickly. They were both really good! The soup was on special, so price was fair, but $60 for a lunch for two with water and soda seemed like a bit much. Overall good experience, but not sure that it worth it for the price.

    Fish & chips entree

    Recently my wife & I were in Omaha overnight as part of a road trip. Online, we came across Sand Point, located about 5 minutes from our hotel. We opted for an early (4:45) dinner and were probably the evening's first patrons. What a welcome! We were seated in a beautiful booth. Our server was very attentive, and over the course of the dinner she took the time to have several short conversations with us about the Omaha area and other things. At one point, the owner even came over to see how we were doing, and we talked a little about how she came to open a New England seafood restaurant in the heart of the Midwest - again, a very welcome exchange for two visitors to the area. And we can't forget to mention the food. We only ordered entrees: my wife had the salmon, I had the fish & chips (see photo) -- both just excellent. Entrees were hot, flavorful, ample portions. We really hit a home run with Sand Point. It was obvious why this is rated the best seafood in Omaha.

    Swordfish's
    Theresa H.

    We enjoyed Sand Point with a group of friends on a Friday night. We ordered the brussels sprouts which were amazing and I had the swordfish. So good and a lovely plate. My husband had the warm lobster roll and said it was so delicious. Everyone in our party really enjoyed the food and cocktails, especially the chocolate martini. It was a quiet night overall in the restaurant with not many diners, which surprised us as the food was so good. They served us seamlessly the whole night. It's our third time there and we'll continue to go back.

    We visited Sand Point on a Wednesday night in early evening (after work). They are still quite a newly opened establishment, but are right by our house so we broke our rule of not popping in for a few months after a place opens. Sand Point had started as a food truck called Three Kids Lobster, that ran out of the Trucks and Taps food truck depot. We had always been intrigued by the food truck, but never had a chance to stop in when we had been at Trucks and Taps. So we were super excited they were opening a brick and mortar right down the street. The ambiance was very laid back with a lot of black, white, and grey decor touches, and then orange was what they chose for a pop of color throughout, and it works great. The service was excellent, and our server was very honest about what they liked and didn't love so much, making sure we were happy with what we ordered. We started with the beef tips with truffled corn sauce. It came out on a black plate looking so fancy. The steak tip bites were on the smaller side, but were so juicy and tasty, especially with the sauce they were paired with. I also ordered a cup of the Lobster Bisque, which came with a side of sherry that you can pour in or leave out. The soup itself was SUPER good and reminded me of J Gilbert's Maryland Crab Bisque. Very creamy with a touch of tang in the saltiness. I first had the bisque without the sherry added in, to have the pure experience, but then added the sherry to compare. It was still "fine" with the sherry, but it did add quite a bit of alcohol flavor, which I'm not a fan of. So if I ordered it again next time, I would not add the accompanying sherry (maybe just sip it by itself outside of my delicious bisque LOL) For my entree (though we shared both entrees), I ordered the Glazed Salmon, which was a salmon filet with a rosemary maple glaze. It was a HUGE cut of salmon, which is normally a good thing, but the large nature of the filet made it so that the sauce didn't get to the middle/bottom and only sat on top - so the rest of the non-sauced areas were a tad dry. My salmon came with a side of roasted rainbow carrots, and was served on a bed of rice pilaf. The pilaf was a little sweet, maybe because the maple glaze of the salmon kind of seeped down into it. The rainbow carrots were stubby little chunks, and were good, but nothing to write home about. My husband had the Lobster Risotto. When it came out, the size of it looked a little on the small side, but it had a LOT of of lobster chunks in it so I think that is where the cost comes in, not because of the portion size. Taste-wise, it was great, and definitely lived up to the promise of being heavy on the lobster. For dessert, our server recommended, a Fluffernutter, which wasn't on the normal menu. It was toasted, super-soft bread with warm peanut butter and marshmallow spread in the middle. It was really tasty and deceptively simple. Overall, I think they have a few very small kinks to work out on the menu, but the service, location, and quality were definitely there! We will for sure be back to try the Lobster Roll and the other desserts!

    Lobster mac & cheese, and Aji tuna sandwich. It was actually supposed to be a crabcake sandwich though.
    Kristy H.

    Was so looking forward to trying Sand Point as I love lobster rolls. Unfortunately, was disappointed overall, because of a few misses, but I understand they've been open less than two weeks, so will definitely try again in the future. I got an espresso martini to drink, overall wasn't my favorite, a little too strong, but did foam up nicely. I ordered the Connecticut style lobster, roll, and lobster bisque. The lobster bisque had good flavor overall and did come with a shot of Sherry to add if you so chose. My lobster roll sadly came out cold, not a Maine style on accident, was more of a was warm, and had been sitting there a while. The lobster was unfortunately very dry as well. My husband ordered the crabcake sandwich and lobster mac & cheese. He was actually served the Ahi tuna sandwich instead, however, he really enjoyed it. The lobster mac & cheese did lack flavor overall, but was really creamy. Our server was very attentive, and there was a lot of friendly waitstaff. Again, I understand it's a new restaurant, so will for sure come back after it's been a while. Excited to have this as an option in Omaha .

    Haddock sandwich
    Chad W.

    Went here for lunch today. Our service was spot on and friendly. Absolutely loved my lobster bisque. Nice and creamy with lots of flavor. I ordered the crab cakes as well. I wish they had more crab in them and less bread filling. Nobody in Omaha makes a real proper crab cake I feel. But it was still good though. The haddock sandwich was pretty damn good. Will be revisiting this place for dinner and then re review. Will be back for sure. Nice place to have close to home

    Maine Course
    Cat F.

    I am just gonna start with this. GET THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!! We had a reservation and expected it to be jammin. It was not, and that was just fine with us. We were seated immediately (at a very wobbly table) by a super helpful lady that quickly returned with water. The booth we opted for was clean and the table was too. It only took our server a few moments to arrive to take our drink order. Either she was super sleepy or super high and it showed. She had no idea of the drink choices, especially the beers on tap. I chose a beer in a can and asked for a glass, my wife chose a beer in a bottle and asked for a glass as well. The server returned with 2 glasses and my beer and then read off the drink list. I ordered the Fried clams and asked for the wife's beer. It took a bit, but the beer arrived with the clams. The fried clams are a good sized dish, the breading is good and there are fried clams in there. I promise. The tarter sauce that comes with the clams tastes good, real fresh tasting. I was hoping there were a few specials, but our server wasn't able to tell us about them. I ordered the Flank steak, Rare. I asked if the cous cous could be subbed with the Brussel Sprouts and was told, Absolutely. I also chose to add shrimp to my plate. The lobster risotto was the wife's choice. We did not wait long at all for our meals. The flank steak was prepared perfectly for my liking and the mustard sauce, shrimp and the cippolini onions were delicious. The Brussel sprouts were to die for, simply amazing. So good, I can not speak more highly of them. Smashing good. The risotto was a good sized portion, crazy rich, super good with a lot of lobster. The small lobster portion on the top was a bummer, It was well over cooked and tasted old and dry. Our server was sleepy, but offered us dessert and again she needed to read from a menu once she fetched one. We got the Blueberry pie and the Lemon panna cotta. Holy crap the panna cotta was fantastic. It had a great texture and just full of the lemon flavor that I love. The pie center was good, lots of blueberries. The crust of the mini pie was almost hard. It looked flaky, but it was not. The ice cream that accompanied the pie was tasty and plentiful. I recommend Sand Point and look forward to going back.

    Is the lobster roll served hot or cold?

    You have a choice of cold Maine roll or a warm Connecticut roll. The warm Connecticut roll is the way to go.

The complimentary bread came with a delicious olive-and-pesto dipping sauce. For our entrées, I ordered the Cod Imperial, and my wife had the Parmesan-Crusted Rainbow Trout. We finished the meal with pineapple cheesecake and mango crème brûlée. Everything was served promptly and at the proper temperature. My cod was cooked perfectly, and the lemon-and-caper sauce was very well balanced, with just the right amount of acidity. I also tried my wife's trout, and it was equally excellent. The Parmesan crust and the other ingredients came together beautifully. The side dishes were prepared to the same high standard as the entrées. The broccoli was fresh, crisp, and flavorful. The desserts were spectacular. The only drawback is that they are seasonal, so anyone interested in trying them should visit soon. They are definitely worth it. The service was attentive, the food was carefully prepared, and the entire experience made our anniversary dinner especially enjoyable. We would gladly return and highly recommend Fishbone and Grill to anyone looking for a very good seafood restaurant in Omaha.

We also got the Queso Dip which was also a bit spicy to me, not sure if it was because of the cocktail or not. For our entree we split the Mole Enchiladas. The mole was great, full of flavor with the blend of spices and chocolate. It was the perfect amount to split, we each got an enchilada and shared the rice and beans. Even with a couple of things being on the spicier side everything was delicious and we would come back to try more off of the menu!
