    Amazing food, super-attentive service, great food - Loved it! Great time with some incredible food. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I had everything the way the chef suggested and it was worth every moment. Thank you!

    I was fortunate enough to be invited to a trial feeding in preparation of opening. We were warmly greeted and seated at our leisure as I wanted to have a cocktail in the bar before dining (prefect cocktails were had). Once seated, our sever Tad went over the menu and highlighted some of the local ingredients. Our party of 4 started with the bone marrow aka beef butter as the server put it, clams, watermelon/burrata salad, and couscous. I ordered the wagyu filet with hollandaise for my main course. So good! It was cooked to my exact liking and the sauce was perfectly balanced. Sides were zucchini, beans, and asparagus. All were delicious. The pole beans were tender yet had a slight crunch, and I loved the addition of grilled peaches to the zucchini! Dessert was also enjoyed by all. So excited to have this beautiful restaurant in town and cannot wait to go back.

    Spicy Braised Pork Sandwich

    Stopped in during the week for lunch. The hotel in itself is really nice. Everything looks and smells so new and nice! The valet parking guys are fantastic...really everyone that works there is super nice and personable. When we went into the hotel someone greeted us and walked us to the restaurant and gave us a little history on why the restaurant was named Society 1854. Very cool! Started out with a Moscow Mule, and while I was disappointed it didn't come in a copper mug it was quite delicious! We ordered the Charcuterie Board for an appetizer and it was very good. For my entrée I ordered the Spicy Braised Pork Sandwich. It came on a toasted sesame seed bun and had Gochujang, Sesame Greens and garlic mayo. While there were a couple pieces of dry pork, overall the sandwich was tender. It was tasty with just a little kick of spice. Came with house made potato chips that were good as well. My dining partner had the Wagyu burger, and while she ordered it well done it still looked juicy inside. She raved about how good it was. I enjoyed my visit however the price was a bit too high for me to frequent. Typical hotel prices for sure. Worth a try for sure though!

    Cuban and chips

    Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night and the place was pretty dead at 630, unfortunately a large group got seated behind us and the way the building is set up you are basically eating in the lobby and large hall way and the acoustics are terrible and a lot of echoing. I still have to give 5 stars because our server was exceptional. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was a bit overwhelmed with a couple large groups so a little slow for us but her attitude and attention to detail made up for anything. They gave me my Black Manhattan on the house due to slow service. That drink was strong to say the least. They normally fry their brussel sprouts but to accommodate a gluten free diet they sauteed them and gave a garlic aioli that was very good. My wife enjoyed her bunless burger and salad but the burger was a bit over cooked. My cuban sandwich was top notch and I really enjoyed the home made crunchy chips. Overall the prices are a bit higher for what it is but given the area etc its about right. If I'm in the area again I wouldn't mind stopping in to try some other items on the menu.

    We went to society 1854 for their thanksgiving lunch event - the area they had sectioned off was very nice and they added to the mood with a saxophone musician. Food was served family style so you really felt "at home" with whoever you were sharing the meal with. The waiters and waitresses were all very kind and fun to talk to. The thanksgiving meal was a traditional thanksgiving dinner. They poured us complimentary cranberry mimosas and gave us as much dessert as we could take home (they literally gave us a container and told us to fill it up with sweets haha). I don't have a picture of the food but the setting and dessert table looked amazing.

    Although the menu itself is not super vegan friendly, the staff was VERY accommodating! The chef offered to modify the special and created a vegan farro risotto with veggies, microgreens and a butternut squash purée. Be still, my heart! One of the best meals I can remember having! It had subtle spices, layered flavors and was cooked to perfection. The chef is obviously a magician in the kitchen! I can't wait to stay here again and see what he can create next time!

    2nd trip and it's officially 5 stars. The wait staff is so good and every dish for both of us has been on point. If the restaurant was in a better "ambiance location", it would possibly be my favourite in town.

    Violette - excellent!

    I wrote this on my Facebook about my experience while traveling from California:…read more Today I was at a super cute café and ordered breakfast. After a couple of minutes, I went back up to the counter and asked if they had already started making it, because I wanted to change my order. The kitchen was open, so I said to the cook, "Don't worry about it if you've already started. I know my indecision can impact people, and I don't want to be a problem." He looked at me and said, "No, it's totally fine. Would you like some veggies on the side?" "Yes, that would be amazing," I said, and walked back to my table... and burst into tears. It wasn't just what he said. It was the kind energy in his eyes. I felt someone who took pride in what he was making, and who genuinely wanted people to be happy. I found myself asking, why am I crying? Because in a world where so many people in power feel disconnected, where corporations can make us feel like numbers, being genuinely cared for in a small café reminded me how much I love humans. Most people have love in their hearts and are trying to share it in their own small ways. As the world cracks, these simple things are more meaningful than ever.

The steak was cooked perfectly! We were sat right upfront to over look the old market and it was clean and I loved the home feel of the space, very casual and comfortable. Our server (ugh, can't remember his name) was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. The ONLY thing that was a downside is that on yelp it says the restaurant is pet friendly and that is not the case. We traveled with our puppy and we had to leave her back at my daughter's apartment downtown which was a big bummer. Other than that, not one single bad this to say.

    We found Jackson Street Tavern on Yelp while looking for a place to eat that was 1. walkable to our…read morehotel, and 2. would have hamburgers for the kids. This fit the bill so we walked over around 5pm one evening for an early dinner after spending the day exploring the zoo. When we arrived the place was pretty empty - think maybe two tables occupied, and the hostess asked us if we had a reservation. We did not, and honestly she seemed a bit put out for a bit. I kind of wondered if we were going to be able to eat in this empty restaurant, but alas she decided it was okay and we were seated. This is one of my pet peeves at restaurants. I know, I know, that there could have been a ton of business booked for later, but it's such a bad look to make such a big deal about reservations when the place is empty. Also - while it did start to fill it was by no means full by the time we left. At any rate, things perked up at that point and we all got seated, ordered drinks, food etc. and had a good time. The server was kind and thoughtful and the food was pretty tasty. I had the fish and chips and shared it with my husband as the entrees are a good size here. My six year old had the kids hamburger, though we did have a bit of a scare when the server said "your cheeseburger will be out soon!" we had a long wait on the kids meal and when she said cheeseburger I immediately said - "no cheese!" the menu item was described as a "hamburger" with no mention of cheese and our kid doesn't like cheese her burgers so that was a really close call. I sort of got the impression that server wasn't accustomed to kids, but when the burger came out it was right and even though she had to wait, my kiddo gave it two thumbs up. Overall this is a good pub style restaurant in Old Town. Nothing really to write home about, but they do have decent food and local beers which was all we really cared about after a long day at the zoo.

The service is exceptional (for dinner) and they go out of their way to take care of their guests. Then comes the cocktails, which were also quite excellent. And they have an extensive (VERY extensive) wine list! Impressive. The food is also (mostly) excellent. We dine in fine restaurants all over the world from Chicago to Paris to Tokyo and London and the food here was top quality, prepared exceptionally, and really delicious--largely due to their wood fire oven. I hadn't seen an oven like this since Grant Achatz's Roister/Fire in Chicago. I was very impressed. We started with Wood Fired Oysters, which were delicious. Their house corn bread and honey butter were also quite good. I normally don't care for corn bread but this was a really nice accompaniment. My wife and I shared the ribeye and truffle cava mac and cheese. Both were very good. On our second dinner we had Omaha Farmer's Board, a very good charcuterie and meats appetizer. But the Ricotta Agnolotti was our only complaint to this truly exceptional restaurant. The pasta dish felt like it was trying too hard to be fancy. A parmesan foam on top was cold, brining a nice hot dish down. The overall look of the plated dish was "overfull diaper." Not appetizing. The creme brûlée was very good. Overall, highly recommend this place as a steakhouse with an incredible wood fired grill. This place should be busier than when we went, to be sure. It deserves attention and it deserves to be recognized as one of the top restaurants in Omaha.

I was less than thrilled and did not eat it! I left eating 2 of the 4 scallops, and a scoop of potatoes- the server made multiple excuses, but never a tried to make it right.
