The bar here before dinner was so cool with great drinks and an awesome bartender. The whole vibe was lively and full of people. The restaurant was absolutely great as well. Host, servers, sommelier were all so nice. We had the beef Wellington which was delicious and split a great Caesar salad. Both excellent. This place is pricey but worth it. If ever in Omaha again we will be back!! read more

We celebrated my birthday at The Committee Chophouse, and let me just say, this place knows how to make an evening feel special. I made a reservation for five of us, and we were counting down the days like it was a holiday. When we arrived, we valet parked and made our way inside. The restaurant is a little tucked away. Head downstairs past the hotel lounge and you will find it. It kind of gives the place a secret, speakeasy vibe, which I loved. We were greeted warmly and led to a private dining room that was beyond charming. It featured a renovated poker table that now serves as a dining table. It was unique, intimate, and perfect for our group. We were offered still or sparkling water right away, and the service was attentive from start to finish. Joe, our server, was fantastic. He knew we were celebrating and made the experience feel personalized from the moment we sat down. He also knew I was there for the Beef Wellington. I had noted it in the reservation, which I highly recommend, because they only prepare a limited number each day. They saved one for me, and I am still dreaming about it. Since it was our first time, we went all out. We shared Caesar salads, a small chilled seafood tower, bourbon-glazed pork belly, and an artisanal cheese board. Everything was top-notch. I do not even eat seafood, but the tarragon sauce on the tower was absolutely incredible. I would put that on toast, fries, maybe even a shoe. It was that good. For mains, most of us ordered the New York strip steaks. My husband chose the Summer of Steak flight, and I finally got my hands on the Wellington. Every entrée was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. These were easily some of the best steaks we have had in Omaha. We also ordered four sides to share, which was just right for our group of five. The truffle fries were hot and crispy with a lemon aioli that I wanted to take home in a bottle. The asparagus was fresh and perfectly done. The mashed potatoes were whipped and fluffy. The aged cheddar mac and cheese was everything it should be--gooey, rich, and ridiculously satisfying. Naturally, we did not stop there. We sampled a few desserts: Baked Alaska, Coconut Torte, and the Blackstone Butterbrickle. All three were excellent. There was not a single bite left behind. The cocktails were also a standout. Some of the best margaritas we have had in a while. The bartender deserves his own round of applause. Yes, it was a splurge. With tip, the bill came to around $1,200. But it was a birthday, and as my dad always says, if the food and the experience were good, it was money well spent. And this absolutely was. The Committee Chophouse delivered at every level: flavor, service, ambiance, and attention to detail. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we can go back. read more

The Committee Chophouse remains an awesome option for a steakhouse in Omaha - the ambiance and vibe of the restaurant is just near impossible to top! Our food was all delicious this go around, just maybe a tad on the cold side by the time it got to the table. For a restaurant at this price point, I'd expect this to be better. But I am looking forward to my next trip here! read more

My husband surprised me and planned a dinner here for my 50th birthday. We had an amazing meal! Our server made it a really fun night - very knowledgeable about the menu and doing extra things to make me feel celebrated. A great place to go for those extra special evenings. I love that it's within the Cottonwood Hotel building, as we spent time exploring and taking pictures in the lobby after dinner. read more

Low-quality photo, high-quality dining experience! I went with a group of coworkers for a holiday dinner and were able to try many starters, sides and entree options. The vibe was upscale and sophisticated, and the team did a good job serving our large group. The oysters (both broiled and chilled) were delicious. We enjoyed the bread plate as a starter too. But the real star of the show (in addition to the 8oz filet of course) is the Truffle Mac and Cheese! I wish I had taken a better photo of it - all the more reason to go back! read more

Atmosphere: stunning! Tucked in the basement with an old nostalgic field and flare. Passing a beautiful lounge into their main dining room. We had a party of 6 and it was perfect for a nice event. Private yet open. They had additional private rooms if needed. Our waitress was amazing. Sadie made our night very special with introducing drinks and food. Was very professional, checked on us regularly and was just a great example of what service should be. The BEST PART. Drinks, breadboard, food was soo good! The Delmonico ribeye was stunning. The cook was perfect. The cut was excellent. We had the mushroom sides would have been an excellent vegetarian meal. Dessert- recommend their house made ice cream and cheese cake. Compared to some of the classic steakhouse and even the new one slightly out west, this has become my favorite place to go. Highly recommend! read more

I took my wife out for our birthdays that were this week. Everything was outstanding. The restaurant is on the lower level of the Kimpton Hotel in midtown in an art deco setting. The feel was like an old but very upscale speakeasy. The service from Sayde and the staff was very attentive. The drinks and the food were all excellent. I had the tomato bisque and wifey had the wedge salad. We both had filets, mine had the black truffle butter and my wife added shrimp to hers. The mashed potatoes and creamed corn were over the top excellence! I need to figure out how to make creamed corn like that! We finished with the baked Alaska which was outstanding and should not be missed. Wifey loved the Malbec the old-fashioned was top notch. This place hits a home run! We will be back! read more

Oh my goodness. There aren't enough words to describe the meal we had at the Committee on Sunday. The service was IMPECCABLE--probably some of the best service in Omaha. From the front of house who sat us and talked restaurants in Omaha and chefs and his history with us to our server Destiny who had such insightful recommendations & was so personable it was like we were having dinner with a trusted friend! I was happy to see the restaurant had a bit brighter lighting than the moodier vibe of the cottonwood room, and it had plenty of different types of seating options. I am obsessed with the chairs we had at our table, my back has never felt better which is a weird note but is a major plus for me. As for our food, we started with the pork belly & the bread board (the breads that evening were a herb/rosemary focaccia and garlic and cheddar bread both were scrumptious). Isaiah and I shared the Chateaubriand which was cooked to perfection! Dave had the airline chicken & cait went with the catch of the day which was the halibut! We got pommes aligot, roasted broccolini with garlic & pecorino Romano, and creamed corn to share and we had some left over! Everyone loved their meals and raved about them all night. This was our last big dinner in Omaha before our move & it definitely ended our time in Omaha on a high note. read more

Our server Sadie was wonderful and super helpful! The restaurant and hotel are both so beautiful as well. Our food and cocktails arrived with perfect timing and everything was cooked and tasted perfectly. Even the asparagus was perfect and amazing (I have noticed sometimes the veggie sides are sometimes an afterthought that don't get much effort but it was great!). Pricey but you get what you pay for! I had a large amount of leftovers as well. Highly recommend them for a special occasion. read more

This is the best steak I've ever had. Usually, steakhouses are pretty mid to me. But this one was actually amazing. The quality of the meat was so good and cooked to perfection. Our table all ordered medium rare and it was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. The whiskey strip has a great marinade. The filet mignon had good flavor and was a good size if you usually don't eat too much. Our waitress was nice and explained things to us if we had questions but was slow to come to our table when we were ready to pay. Valet parking is free/complimentary if you are coming to eat at the chophouse. It is quite pricey but if you are looking for quality, I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Came to celebrate a birthday. The ambiance is good; I love the waiting area (5/5). The service was mediocre (3/5), and the overall quality of the food was excellent (5/5). **Service**: They should be proactive in providing warm towels for customers ordering the seafood platter. I appreciate that they offer warm towels when asked, but unfortunately, they smell bad. It has a scent similar to deep-fried food in old oil, washed without any detergent--. **Food**: - **Chilled Seafood Tower**: 3/3 - **Land, Air, & Sea** (chef's seasonal preparation): MKT 2/3 - **Land**: Venison, medium rare: 3/3. I love it! It tastes like liver, but I really enjoy it. - **Air**: Pheasant: 1/3 or 0/3. The taste is good with crispy skin, but it's really tough; my plate moves every time I cut it. - **Sea**: Crab cake: 3/3. - **Beef Wellington**: 3/3. Perfect medium rare. - **Crème Brûlée**: 5/3. read more

Beautiful bar under the tree. Friendly staff and an excellent ribeye! The tartare was great too.

I do rate a lot of "5" stars but I think it is because I get to eat at really great places! However, if I could rate higher for this restaurant, I 100% would do it! When you walk down the stairs from the hotel lobby (I say this because there is another entrance which is street side), everything seems so enchanting. There is a circle var surrounding a glowing tree and you have taken a step back in time. Upon entering the restaurant, there is just a vibe. The courteous and sincere greeting from the host/ess makes you feel like you are incredibly special even in your first visit. The service is immaculate and everyone spends time explaining the menu in detail and exploring what really is the best option for the evening! Now my favorite part, this is the BEST steak I have ever eaten!!! I ordered the scallops and they were excellent with the perfectly cooked creamy polenta but when I took a piece (okay half) of my friends steak, I wanted more! Then we did a thing and ordered everything from the desert menu because why not?! It was a special occasion. Everything from the baked Alaska, strawberry crème brûlée, and cheesecake were delicious but my favorite was the butter bricks ice cream! Don't worry, I will be back and even though the menu changes, I might just get the cowboy steak Oscar style one more time!! Reservation recommended! read more

Pre-meal: Reservations recommended. Room: Sophisticated, clubby and reasonably quiet. Picture-taking: Dark. Beverages: Nice cocktails and fairly priced wine list. Food: Wide selection of steaks and seafood. First rate king crab legs. Very good Caesar salad. Denver steak (bone-out short rib) is a cut not often seen - mine was aggressively seasoned and definitely undercooked but was cheerfully cooked a bit longer. The end result the 2nd time around was a nicely charred, tender, chewy and beefy piece of meat. Our side dishes were quite good. Dessert was good too. Service: Excellent Price: Expensive Value: Good Summary: Sophisticated high end steakhouse that serves food worthy of the beautiful setting. read more

I really wanted to love this place. The reviews were great and I was so excited. We were there for a 5pm reservation to celebrate our anniversary and our friend's birthday. Loved the ambiance and vibe. The service was good and so were the drinks. We all ordered steaks. Our sides were mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, and asparagus. Although the sides were good, the steaks were over seasoned with salt and black pepper. Unfortunately, the wagyu steak, Delmonico steak, whiskey steak, and ribeye steak all tasted the same to all of us and not worth the price. It's a one and done for us. read more

So, I'm here for work and sitting at the bar area for dinner. It's a really beautiful setting and I love it. The food....not so much. Ordered the 8oz filet. It looks about 4oz and it's just not good. There is ZERO flavor. I ordered the medium rare and it's cooked ok, but it's soooo dry. How is a medium rare filet DRY?? So disappointing. I ordered the roasted mushroom side order and again...just ok. No amazing flavor I'd look for in roasted mushrooms. Please ...is there decent food in Omaha?!?! I also talked to the manager Alex and he could have basically cared less: Paid $68 for a bad steak....but the bartender was lovely!!! read more

Have you ever visited a place and felt like it was way too cool for you? That's how I felt eating at the Committee but in the best way! They offer complimentary valet parking which is wonderful. The food was excellent and the ambiance was amazing! The décor is beautiful and classy, right out of a movie. Our server explained the menu to us newbies, and gave us some drink recommendations. I went with a glass of Malbec and my friend did the Old Fashioned. We split the Burrata appetizer, and each got a steak and two sides to share (asparagus and scalloped potatoes). Everything was cooked to perfection and very, very good. Based on the cost, it's not somewhere I see myself frequenting very often, but for a special occasion (or to use a gift card!), I would totally return! read more

Run, don't walk, to the Committee Chophouse! One of the best meals I've had out in a long time. It definitely wasn't a budget dinner, but they hit everything out of the park in terms of food, service, and ambience. I haven't had such a pleasant dining experience in a long time. I'll start with the ambience because it's the most noticeably different. It was a beautiful aesthetic. I felt like I was on a madman set. They did a really nice job of taking classic aesthetics and then elevating them. The food was also phenomenal! When you're spending upwards of $170 for a large steak, you expect it to be cooked perfectly. And it was. A perfect, medium rare, and extremely tender and juicy. We also enjoyed the sides and the focaccia bread with the beef tallow broth. I feel like it's a bold choice to serve bread with beef tallow, but it was extremely delicious! We also got something off menu, crab. It was tasty, and a great complement to beef. Every bite of the Wagyu ribeye was delicious. Usually when you order a steak, there are parts that are more tender and less tender. Parts that have a little more marbling and parts that don't. But this entire steak was delectable. The service was also great. Our server was a little odd, but he was very attentive without being overbearing. He was knowledgeable about the menu and improved our dining experience overall. The only drawback was that the wine menu was pretty pricey. The cheapest bottle you could find was $100, which I understand this is a nicer place they want to promote really good wine. But there are a lot of bottles under $50 that are high-quality. I just felt like the wine wasn't very accessible. We chose a bottle of about $150, which was fine because there were three of us sharing the bill, but I feel like there are a lot of options that are less expensive that are still great wines. The website said they had free valet for people eating at the restaurant. But when we arrived, we realized this was not the case and it was $20 for valet. Not outrageous, but just different from what we were expecting. Like I said earlier, this is definitely one of those places where you pay for things to be right, but we had a great time, enjoyed delicious food, and we will definitely be back. Five stars! read more

I wasn't familiar with this hidden Chophouse located inside the Cottonwood Hotel, next door to the Channel 6 network building. If you are able, parking is free in front of the Channel 6 building while paying parking meters are across the street. The hotel doesn't have a great visible sign pointing out where the Chophouse is located. Once you enter, when you see the registration desk, turn left and take the narrow stairs down to the lower level, and you will see the bar and host station. Reservations were made in advance, and seating was performed quickly. The server was good except for telling us the specialties until after the fact. I ordered a specialty T bone combo with filet mignon along with the cream corn. Wait time was minimal, and the kitchen staff brought the dishes personally to you. Overall, I had a great time. Both steaks were tasty, tender, and succulent. read more

My husband wanted to take me to a nice date night so we picked this restaurant because it isn't a chain. I have been to so many restaurants with $$$$ next to the name and this is the first restaurant that matched its claim. The Committee Chophouse did NOT disappoint!! Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious and the service was spectacular. We started with their Oysters on the Half Shell, which was incredibly fresh, and Smoked Pork Belly, which tasted amazing and paired well with the salad that came with it. For our main, we split the 56oz Tomahawk Ribeye and the Black Tiger Prawn. The Tomahawk was so tender and absolutely the best steak I have ever had. The Tiger Prawns were cooked perfectly, very plump and juicy. All in all, an amazing dinner that we both enjoyed! read more

WOW! I try not to have too high expectations when going to new places, but I have to admit that this wasn't one of those times. Perfectly situated in the Cottonwood Hotel in the Blackstone District, the place looks modern--but not too trendy. The menu is a la carte and have a good selection of starters, main and side dishes. We ordered a cheeseboard and pate appetizers from their special and it was really good for sharing. The tempura walnut shrimp was also a hit. I got the Delmonico (medium) and have to say that this was one of the best one's I've had. We also got their Pan Roasted Halibut garnished with asparagus and king crab meat, really flavorful...tender and not too flaky. Lastly, their staff were amazing! Really responsive and just the right amount of interaction. Overall, a great place to wine and dine. Definitely a must try. read more

My husband and I ate dinner here at the Committee Chophouse, located in the lobby of the Kimpton Cottonwood, both nights we spent in Omaha. Even had the same server, Owen, both times! I had the whiskey strip Oscar style, and my husband had their regular strip and a couple of sides. For our appetizer, we went with the large seafood platter since you basically get double the things for... less than double the dollary doos. I believe the cocktails served here come from The Cottonwood Room next door, and after seeing cucumber on the cocktail menu, I wanted to try The Jackie while my husband ordered The Plush Horse (he liked it so much he ordered it again when we came back). I didn't like either drink very much as they were kind of syrupy and tasted almost like a non-alcoholic drink to me. HOWEVER. They make a mean old fashioned here, one of my favorites, and I highly recommend. The seafood platter came with: lobster claw salad (literally whole claws in here, so good), a half chilled lobster tail, smoked clams (quite interesting), six oysters (sadly were very small), JUMBO shrimp, and chef's choice, which happened to be sous vide octopus that night. I didn't care for any of the sauces that came with it but the seafood itself was a real banger, just super fresh and delicious. As for the steaks, they were cooked perfectly though I wouldn't order Oscar again because the crab meat was a little dry. The whiskey strip has a strong flavor of whiskey and was delicious. The sides are huge, two sides is way too much for two people. Okay, the large seafood platter and two steaks is also way too much for two people but we're trying things alright? Unfortunately our second time around, the food wasn't cooked as well. My steak came out quite rare (ordered med rare), the lobster was very salty from the butter I'm guessing, and overcooked compared to the chilled lobster. I really hate sending food back though and rarely will unless it's actually inedible. Lobster salad a la carte with an add-on lobster for steak was $50 and $100 respectively so at that point, ya might as well order the platter. We're still trying things. Great service, beautiful little restaurant, I love the booths and wallpaper. Owen's a cool guy, and food was pretty good. $500 bill both times is a little more than I would pay for food here compared to a similarly priced steakhouse. read more

My husband and I went here for an anniversary dinner. We had our wedding at the Cottonwood Hotel where Chefs Jason and Brandon whipped up the meals. Everything tasted amazing so we had to come back for the anniversary. It's perfect for a business meeting or date night. Both chefs came to our table to say hello, and it made everything so special.

Wow wow wow. We basically took all the waitress' recommendations and got what the chophouse is known for. The potato soup I could drink in a cup all day long, it was the best potato soup and they make everything in-house for it. The Cesar salad was even phenomenal they made the salad dressing with avocados so it is a bit different then normal Cesar's! They do have complimentary valet parking when you are eating at the hotel. The decor was just as great as the food, along with our waitress, in the time of day now service has gone way down but they HAVE NOT. you will spend a pretty penny here but it's all worth it for a special occasion! read more

I guess my first disclaimer to this review should be that steakhouses are not really my favorite type of restaurant, but I have been looking forward to trying this one because of the rave reviews. (I do just love tasty food after all). By way of another disclaimer I have probably only spent in excess of $200 on a two-person meal maybe a half dozen times in my life. And the rest of those rank as some of the top memorable mind-blowing meals of my life. Whereas... this one did not. Service was good, I do have to say. And that really counts for something. Friendly and attentive in just the right amount. The food was also very, very, good. Don't get me wrong. But when reviewing a menu on which the prices make you go... whoa. You also want the food to do the same in a big way - at least I do. We tried pork belly, steaks, mushrooms, and potatoes for sides. Oh, and several cocktails (of course!) So at the end of the day... would I rave about it to a friend? To a stranger on the street? Would I come here again and feel good about dumping out all the money in my wallet for a $50 a la carte steak? Even compared to some other comparable steakhouses in town...? Probably not. Sorry to say. And if it had been a $150 dinner, maybe I'd be at a 4-star review. But for almost $250 all in, I wouldn't say I left with the awesome feelings you'd want at that price point. The renovation is great and this hotel is a super cool place to be - even if you live in town, like we do. But I was slightly disappointed in my restaurant experience. Will stick to the bar and pool from here on out, probably. read more

Wedding anniversary #2 and all I can say is the quality is still top notch. We had the same waitress as the previous year who remembered us (Sayde is a gem!) and provided the same impeccable service. The oysters had new exciting mignonette sauce (pomegranate and saffron/champage). My entree was the Duck breast which to me is an incredible value compared to their steak offerings (which are still excellent). We went hard on desert and the German chocolate cake was probably the best I've ever had and the PBJ Cheesecake was sublime as well. Already looking forward to next year! read more

FOOD was 4.5- Filet was cooked perfectly at Med/Rare; Duck was very tasty; loved the Brussels sprouts.... Only suggestion would be to allow the chef to be more creative in presentation, especially of the steak. It was 12 ounces of meat and a single pepper on a medium size plate..... no other garnishing, sauces or, hey, an edible flower? Presentation makes a difference. SERVICE was 5-Star-- Joe was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging and humorous.. that, too makes a difference. AMBIENCE was 4.5- very relaxing, quiet, low light. Just what we were looking for and expecting. read more

I had heard this place could be hit or miss, and when drinks from another table were plopped down in front of me, I knew it was gonna be a miss. The Delmonico steak was over seasoned. The smoked duck was cold. Our server disappeared, and never asked about our food so nothing ever got fixed. For a high-end steakhouse this gets you two stars. At these prices, you can't afford to have hit or miss meals. I won't be back. read more

I can't figure out all the glowing reviews. My only thought is that after spending so much money it's psychologically better to try to convince yourself you loved it. Service was fine. Friendly and efficient. Our server seemed a little novice and definitely upsold the amount of sides we needed, etc. The cocktails were mid at best. The much touted old-fashioned is made with very high proof bourbon. which is fine, but had the waiter mentioned that I may have changed my mind. The food is so heavy. I'm still queasy thinking back on it. The steaks were appropriately marbled, and so salty. The sides were ridiculously fat laden. The weight of the sauce on the asparagus was probably greater than the weight of the asparagus. The broccolini was oozing oil. The cream of corn seemed to be whipped butter and cream with a few pieces of corn in it. The flavor of that one was outstanding, but...so heavy. Our vegetarian diner got the side of macaroni and cheese for her entrée, it was so salty and so oily she couldn't eat it. I tasted it and concurred. The worst were the desserts. I've never had baked Alaska and it was featured in a book I read as a kid. Thus I was excited to finally try it. The Committee chophouse baked Alaska was dense Oreo ice cream with cake covered with marshmallow. Good grief. There were six desserts all equally quite heavy. Not a single one had any fruit or fruit flavor. Our bill for nine diners was $1600. Four people had no drinks. We did have appetizers and desserts so we knew what we were getting into with the price. But every single person in my party just felt kind of grossed out afterwards about how heavy and salty it was. if I had to do over, I would not have gone. read more

Service - top notch. Oysters - surprisingly fresh. Filet - melt in your mouth. Cocktails - strong, but tasty ~ Recommend a few Plushy Horse rounds.

Attended another Creighton Law School Board dinner meeting in Omaha tonight at The Committee Chophouse located in the Cottonwood Hotel. "Mixed Reviews!" Tremendous wine list but the Silver Oaks though touted was not available. The Chimney Rock was an acceptable alternative for a robust Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Sancerre La Garenne was surprisingly pleasant as a refreshingly lite Sauvignon Blanc. Shrimp Pow Pow comprised of tempura shrimp, marinated cucumber, sesame powder, and a mildly spiced chili sauce, and Smoked Pork Belly-- pickled vegetable slaw, whole grain mustard aioli, whiskey glaze, jus de vie, we're served family style as starters. Not a fan of "family style' but the food was outstanding! The choice of a far too salty French Onion Soup or a rather pedestrian "Wedge Salad" made with baby iceberg, tomatoes, Mitch's bacon, pickled onions, and creamy bleu cheese dressing was exceptionally disappointing. Other than the Brussels Sprouts that seemed roasted with almond, bacon, jus de vie, and ricotta salata, the sides also served "family style" were so unremarkable I don't even recall the offerings. The entree options included what appeared to be properly seared and perfectly medium rare steaks (various cuts) and what should have been a delectable star of the evening, the "Millionaire Mac" undercooked pasta, butter poached lobster, citrus bread crumb, tobiko, and chives. The generous delicious and tender lobster saved this dish! No need to review the desserts--they didn't save this underwhelming dining experience. read more

We dined here for a fancy pre-symphony dinner with reservations at 5pm when they opened. I can happily report we were able to get to the Holland Center with enough time to order drinks for the show. We got their bread platter, Beef Wellington and drinks. There was enough bread for 4-6 people, but as there was such a variety and it was all hot and fresh, we were able to get through about 2/3rds of it. But the Beef Wellington was the star - crispy golden puff pastry and rare tenderloin. Even Gordon Ramsay would be proud of this Wellington, and as a beef-breed Nebraskan, I can attest this was top quality beef. However, the menu recommends the Wellington for two - it really should be for a party of four. We wanted to try their Baked Alaskan but there was no way after that Wellington. Total for this amazing dinner -$240 before tip. read more
