    I had the Ribeye and it was way over cooked it well I order medium! The server and manager did an excellent job resolving the over cooked ribeye steak at 50$ it needs to be spot on ! I have been told by others that have had steaks in the past they were overcooked!

    Was not as impressed as I have been in the past. Small choices on the menu. They use to have a much better menu. Such as Beef Wellington, Chicken pot pie, and more.

    Our first time here. We went during lunch. Ordered Crunch Burger and Popper Burger. Handcut seasoned fries with garlic aioli. Best burgers we ever had. Fries with the aioli were perfection. Nice clean facility. Excellent service. Will definitely recommend & patronize in the future.

    First time visit. Decided to try out the Odessey. We will definately be back. It is well worth the drive from lincoln. The customer service is the best I have experienced at any restaurant. Every worker greeted us that we saw. Our waitress said hello like she knew us forever....and actually she saw us at a VB game earlier in the day and somehow remembered us. She super friendly, knowlegable about the menu, and very nice and helpful. The food was fantastic and i cant wait to go back and try additional menu items. My husband had the swordfish and i had the bacon wrapped filet with mushroom glaze and shredded brussel sprouts. For appetizer we tried the mozerella fried stuffed rissota which was delicious. We booked our reservation on open table about 10 min before we arrived. They had a small tabke set up with a happy anniversary sign which was sweet. We were celebrating our 35 anniversary and my birthday. Had a fantastic time.

    Please bring back your original brussel sprouts! I was at the Odyssey on 9/15 and was very dissapointed. We were there again on 9/22 and I told our table not to order the sprouts as the recipe is flawed. Overall, the food is still very good, but the brussel sprouts need rediscovered!

    Had a delicious meal at Odyssey for our Anniversary. We had a very personable waitress who kept us hydrated, removed dirty dishes and checked on us often. Our only complaint was how slow the food came out of the kitchen. I know it is hard to get workers now a days so we put it down to that being the reason for the slowness of getting food. As for the food, my husbands Filet was cooked perfectly (with mashed potatoes & Brussel sprouts) yet I had the best dish, the 7oz wagyu zabuton steak (with gnocchi, sauteed mushrooms and spinach, broccolini, bleu cheese crumbles and red wine reduction). It is something I would order again. Thank you for a Delightful Evening

    One can never go wrong ordering beef in Nebraska. It is exceptionally well prepared at The Odyssey. Friendly and attentive servers (but not too attentive). They’re able to recommend a good wine to complement your meal. Any dessert is fantastic!

    As far as the ambiance and wait staff go it’s 5 stars all the way. Four stars for the food and the value. This may not matter to some but when you’re paying $40 for a Wagyu steak dinner you’d expect the meat to be very near perfect, mine was flavorful but there were more than a few areas of very stringy, chewy meat that I had to spit out. It is a 7 oz cut so for that I expect a near perfect piece of meat. I should’ve ordered a regular steak. The gnocchi, mushrooms and spinach were covered in a delicious sauce however after a few bites it was too rich, it needed some component that is a little sweeter to balance it out. They do not allow substitutions on any of their dishes which I do not disagree with but that being said the entrees need to be well balanced and near perfect in that case. We will definitely go back. The drinks are good and so are the appetizers. Our waitress was amazing.
