    Everything was fabulous. The food was amazing! The portions were filling , yet not overwhelming. The service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. Other servers would help if they saw something that needed attention, which indicates an excellent culture of teamwork. Outstanding all around.

    Very cool building. The mackerel was outstanding but the only good dish we had. The hanger steak was too bland and not the best cut of hanger. Charcuterie board was uninspiring.

    The appetizers were excellent. We had the charcuterie board which was very good and the pork belly which was excellent. Three of our party had the hanger steak with demi glaze with gratin potatoes, oyster mushrooms, and tomatoes. The steaks were very good, but two were not prepared to order, being more medium rare, instead of medium. The last order was duck with fingering potatoes and brussels sprouts. The brusssel sprouts were the best ever. The duck on the other hand was not enjoyable, and had a chewy texture. All in all we really enjoyed the experience and some of the food was excellent, while some included mistakes. Considering the price and reputation, the mistakes were a bit of a let down. The waitress was very good.

    This restaurant is what I would describe as chic with an open atmosphere that encourages one to view your surroundings. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary which the restaurant acknowledged with complimentary champagne to start the experience. The staff were composed and engaging and drinks and food arrived in an acceptable timely sequence. Our cocktails were truly unique and quite tasty and we enjoyed a recommended Bordeaux to accompany our Wagyu entrees. Accoutrements were successfully paired with the perfectly cooked steaks. We completed our dinner with lemon meringue dessert and an ensemble of four delicious bites cheesecake, hazelnut bar, raspberry caramel bonbon and spiced macaron. An espresso added a nice assist to the samplings. Price point was what we expected and we feel the product and service was deserving of it. This is now our favorite restaurant in the Omaha metro.
