We visited Revival House because a friend picked it to celebrate their birthday, and I was really…read moreexcited since this place had been on my list for a while. The space is super cute and bigger than I expected. I love that the windows open up and give it an indoor/outdoor vibe, and the tropical décor makes it feel fun and cozy at the same time. There's plenty of seating, and they can fit both small and big groups. We were a party of about eight and were still able to find a good spot together. Something I really liked is that they let you bring food from other places since they don't serve any, which is perfect if you want to hang out for a while. Their drink menu is huge, and the presentation is honestly amazing. When we first got there it was slow, but it definitely got busier as the night went on. We did struggle a bit when it was time to check out because all the servers were running around, so just be ready for that on a busy night. Overall, we had a great time. The drinks were really good, the vibe was great, and I'd definitely go back.

I've been wanting to try Revival House for quite a while now, and it was pretty good! It was so…read morecute inside and the drink menu had a decent variety. It was kind of confusing whether we had to go order at the bar or if someone was going to come take our order, but eventually someone came to us. I got the Exotic Bird and it was definitely my favorite drink out of the group. The seating was a bit of a challenge as we had to seat ourselves and we had a decently large group, so we had to wander around for a bit trying to find a spot, but we eventually did. I'll probably be back to try more drinks, but maybe when they are less busy!

I recently visited the Cottonwood Room and came away underwhelmed. The space itself is nice, and…read morethe tree at the center of the bar is genuinely cool--but if you're seated off to the side, that focal point doesn't really translate into the overall vibe. Drinks are expensive for what you get. I tried their premium old-fashioned, and honestly, it was no better than a standard old-fashioned elsewhere. Nothing wrong with it, just nothing memorable--certainly not at that price point. Service was slow, which was surprising given that it was a quiet night. On top of that, since the bar is in the hotel basement, there's no cell service. The Wi-Fi password I was given didn't work, which made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Overall, it's a visually interesting space, but the combination of pricing, slow service, and connectivity issues made it not my favorite bar experience.

It was clear they didn't consider the situation important enough to look into, so that was really discouraging as an IHG hotels member and have spent a fair amount of money here over the past several years.

Even worse, is that the drinks weren't great. My date ordered a Titos and Tonic (his go-to) and after one sip questioned the bartender on what she'd given him. She didn't offer to replace it when he said he it didn't taste right, so he just dealt with it and flagged down the other bartender when he was ready for a refill. Somehow, her Titos and Tonic was even worse. My Captain and Coke was weak but tasted fine otherwise. I'd be hard pressed to come back.

We sat ourselves and were given menus to order from. They were out of a couple ingredients, so I could not order the drink I wanted. But the server recommended something similar I may like- which I really appreciated. My Saint Levant cocktail was exactly like described. Fruity, earthy, and funky.

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.

Next time I would like to try one of their cocktails instead. Overall, we still had a great time and I would like to try some more options on the menu.

They really committed to the theme--every corner looks like it was pulled straight out of Whoville, and the attention to detail is honestly impressive. The space itself is kinda small, though. Cozy if you're with the right group, cramped if you're not. And while the staff was friendly and attentive, there was definitely... an energy in the room. Hard to put a finger on, but let's just say some folks seemed to fit the intended esthetic a lot more naturally than others. You can feel who this place was really designed to make comfortable. That said, the Grinch cocktail was a standout. Bright green, topped with cotton candy and a candy cane, super fun looking. They nailed the novelty drink game. Overall, it's a cool spot for the right people. If you're part of the crowd they clearly had in mind, you'll probably have an amazing time. If not... the decor isn't enough to stop in for.
