It had 1/2 lb of shrimp, 1/2 lb of crab legs, and 1 piece of lobster tail. It also comes with 2 corn, 2 potatoes, and 1 egg. There are multiple different spices and spice levels you can choose from. I chose the garlic butter Old Bay with medium spice. I loved this spice combination; it was very seasoned, just the way I like it. My husband got the exact same thing but added 1/2 lbs sausage to it and chose the lemon pepper with medium spice and was extremely happy with it. We will definitely be back.

I ordered their 3 piece catfish with French fries. It was cooked to order, which means absolutely fresh, not sitting under a heat lamp. The fish was cooked perfectly, and seasoned to perfection. I don't know what they seasoned the fries with, but they were so good, you didn't need catchup. They have a small eating area under a awning, which was nice, no sun beating down on you, or if were raining you are sheltered. They were the nicest people who took my order, and during a Slack moment, the owner came out and talked to me. What nice young gentleman. I wish them well, and success.

I don't know how they can juggle so many orders and get everything out so quickly. And the shrimp itself is delicious. Personally, we like the Peel 'n' eat and the fried shrimp the best. I also eat a bunch of the buffalo shrimp. But we like to go with a group so that everyone can try each type. I also love treating myself to their yummy cheesy grits as a side. Great location, fast service, fun coastal decor, wonderful food - Shucks is a quality restaurant!

We made a reservation for New Year's Eve, which probably affected service, but the restaurant should be prepared for this. They seemed to only have two servers for the entire restaurant, which is not small. Our waiter was friendly and nearly running from table to table, but he had a lot of ground to cover. I ordered the NYE special, which came with a cluster of snow crab legs, a salad, a scallop dish, and a dessert. The crab legs were good, but of course, messy. A wet wipe would have been nice. The salad came out without dressing, but was good once that was corrected, although small for the price. The scallops were served with Brussel's sprouts, pickled radish, and kohlrabi in a sauce. An interesting mix with good flavor, but it only came with four medium sized scallops for $39. My dining companion ordered the whiskey salmon, which had a nice glaze, and some interesting sides, but the fish itself wasn't great. Not very flavorful and a touch dry. Dessert ended up being some coconut chocolate balls and sugar cookies. Similar to the Christmas cookie plates that we've had on the counter for the past several weeks. The Russian tea cakes promised on the menu were nowhere to be seen. Pretty disappointing. We had some nice takeout from here last year and thought it would be even better in the restaurant. Sadly our visit didn't live up to expectations, but you can see what they're going for. It may have been an off night for them due to the holiday, but there are a lot of other restaurants in Omaha we'll check out before trying Sand Point again.

Owned by a trio of dedicated foodies, this restaurant exceeded all my expectations, and their attention to detail shows. The quality of food, the attentive service, and the fastidiously clean and modern interior makes for a welcoming cozy atmosphere. Vote voted best of Omaha 2025 all I can say is they truly deserve it! Located just north of Dodge at 108th St., the restaurant is conveniently situated with a large parking lot and plenty of space for easy access. The restaurant takes reservations, but I had no challenge arriving mid afternoon for my first visit. I was pleasantly greeted and quickly seated. I was presented a fabulous menu plus specials, which made a hard decision even harder. Offering New England fare, I cannot recall since my childhood on the East Coast, where I saw clam strips on the menu, let alone freshly prepared on site. Cooked to perfection and offering a delightful twist, as the clam strips were served with traditional tartar and Chinese sweet-and-sour sauce. I was offered a complementary taste of their cornbread, prepared by the in-house pastry chef, which was by far the best cornbread I've ever enjoyed. The Portuguese fish stew offered a fabulous Bouillabaisse with plenty of muscles, shrimp, and clams as well as chorizo to fill me up! A full bar, plenty of beers on tap, and a lovely wine list offers great pairings with all the menu items. With their anniversary celebration, there will be specials offered, keep your eyes peeled on their website for menu items and wine offerings through the end of the month. I cannot say enough about this restaurant other than I will be back! I encourage you to check out the best of Omaha, or simply the best, at the Sand Point ASAP!

We live right by Acadian Grille, so we pop in there pretty often. It's a nice little Cajun…read morerestaurant, which there are not many of in Omaha. The interior is a little boxy, but with lots of decor like chandeliers with Mardi Gras beads hanging down, some uplighting, and cute New Orleans pictures on the walls. Our favorite little side/app, are the Boudin Balls, which are kind of like hush puppies, but with a nice helping of remoulade on top. Yum! My fave go-to entree is the Five Pepper Cream pasta, which is fettuccini tossed in a creamy creole sauce, with a huge breaded filet of blackened chicken on top. Another favorite is the Creole Mac, which is a Mac and Cheese, but with a spicy sauce/spices on top, and filled with andouille sausage as well as sliced, grilled chicken. It definitely has a kick, so if you're averse to any heat, then maybe choose something else. And lastly, I sometimes get the Cajun Meatloaf, if I'm feeling like a heavier dish. It is meatloaf, like you've obviously had a million times, but it is sitting in a dish full of grits and sweet potatoes, and topped with a creamy white béchamel sauce. They also have a lunch size portion of this, which I appreciate. And each entree comes with a little slice of cheesy bread, that's great to dip in the extra sauce of your dish! We sometimes also get the desserts, and they have a great crème brûlée and bananas foster. It's hard to find a good bananas foster in Omaha, and theirs is really good, and very large! The service we have had has always been pretty good, but we did have a weird encounter with one server recently. She made a joke about something (I can't even remember what it was), but it was a little bit poking fun at my husband. It was fine and we all laughed a little at it, but what was weird was that she kept coming over and repeating it over and over in different ways. It was a little annoying and awkward. The owner (I think?) was walking around making sure everything was ok and chatting with each table, so he was great - no complaints there. I will say the only other drawback is that it definitely is not an inexpensive place to eat, so you can't return TOO often. But when you do, you better come hungry and it needs to be a special treat. Acadian Grille is one of only a few creole/cajun restaurants in Omaha, so definitely give them a try if you are looking for that style of food - or know it and want to find it in Omaha!

I would return just for this and a margarita flight. Oh yes, a Margarita Flight. Four different flavors of margs, served on a tower with flowers and sparklers stuck to it. A+ for presentation! The Margaritas themselves were also quite good, fruity and sweet just like I like them. The menu has a small vegan section, but not a vegetarian one. So one can order a vegan meal or customize an entree without meat, for example. I went with a cheese quesadilla. The place is shiny and new, with a modern color palette and an insta-worthy neon light wall. Our server was really feiendly and helpful with any questions we had about the menu. Coke Zero establishment! I'll be back for more quac and drinks!

Update to my Bonefish review: Still 4 stars... some things improved while new issues arose…read more The texture of the mashed potatoes is much improved. In my last review I talked about how chunky and unpleasant they were. There are still some small chunks, but they are soft and the dish is much creamier and more enjoyable to eat. Glad they fixed that. Not sure if they had this last time, but I love the simply grilled menu. Ideal for people who are looking for a nice piece of fish and some sides, and the addition of a small sauce on the side is a perfect way to elevate flavors. Also easy for those who are watching their calories. The timing of things coming out of the kitchen was not ideal for us. The drink came out from the bar maybe a minute before the salad, so it took a while. And then we only had salads for a few minutes before they brought the entrées. They've also introduced those portable POS machines that the servers carry around. I understand there are many pros for these, but honestly, I really dislike them. It makes it really awkward to figure the tip and look at the bill while the server is just standing there waiting for you. It always makes me feel rushed and super awkward. I just wish they hadn't introduced these because in my opinion, it negatively affects the guest experience. All in all some good things, so I'm not so good things, but a solid experience at the Bonefish at Regency.

I've only been here for a Yelp event, but I really enjoyed myself. My friends had been and we were all expecting good food and great service. It started off good with appetizers and our server brought out drinks right away. We were chatting and having a good time until our entrées came out. They were all delicious except for my husband. He ordered a medium steak, but it came out rare. That was fine. They took it back, but it came back a second time a little more charred on the outside, but still RARE. By this time, everybody was about done with their food we were trying to flag down a server find a manager someone can help us. But to our dismay, we honestly couldn't find anyone for a good 20 to 30 minutes. My friend got out of her seat and walked around to find the manager. Sad to say they didn't really care. By the time the server came we let her know and she just said sorry they will remove it from the bill. My husband left last night without any dinner. He only had a few appetizers, but he was done after that. We were very dissatisfied and I don't know if it was because they were short staffed but this was very disappointing. I also wanted to mention how crowded it felt with the tables. When I first got in I went to the restroom to wash my hands and had to maze my way through the tables. When I got into the restrooms, there were chairs stacked up in the women's restroom. It was also very dirty and kind of gross. I know my husband will never want to come back, which is a bit of a bummer for me because I really like the food but oh well. The positive aspects were the rest of us ordered seafood, and that was all great. The sides now come separately and are gigantic. The greeter was friendly and seated us quickly. Despite all the negative, we still had a wonderful time with our friends.

I ordered the Bibimbap, which is my go-to every time we come here, and it was absolutely delicious as always. I love all the vegetables it comes with, and once it's all stirred together with the rice, every bite is packed with flavor. Perfection. My husband tried something new, the Steak + Frites and completely devoured it. He said the steak was delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy. You could tell everything was fresh.

I got the Bibimbop, which was not my personal favorite. This is 100% due to the fact that I don't typically like the flavor of the gojuchang sauce it comes with (I totally forgot this when I ordered). Luckily both the sauce, and the kimchi are served on the side, as I don't enjoy either. This is just my personal taste, not this restaurant recipe. Otherwise, this meal was great! The salmon and shrimp were cooked very well, as was the fried egg on top. There were more veggies than I expected, which was nice! It was odd to me personally eating raw vegetables, like cucumber, cabbage, and carrots out of a hot stone bowl, But I think this will be much better for those who enjoy the flavor of this sauce when you pour it over! The other dishes, I saw my friends order, looked amazing. I would definitely come back to this place, but try a different dish next time!

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.
