The wife enjoyed her Mac and cheese quite a bit, but I found the short rib tacos pretty bland. Felt like the flavor was lacking given the ingredients list. Service was fantastic; prompt and attentive without being overbearing. Just what you want.

About the restaurant

Inspired by the city’s historical Saint Nicholas Claim House of 1854, Nick’s Quorum Bar & Supper Club is a modern bar and supper club in downtown Omaha. Serving brunch daily and dinner Tuesday – Saturday, the kitchen is led by Executive Chef, Cynthia Long and the menu features fresh interpretations of supper club classics, from relish trays for the table to prime rib carved tableside. Our full bar is mixing up classic cocktails like our Brown Sugar Brandy Old Fashioned (made with spirits from local Brickway Brewery and Distillery) and playful recreations of after-dinner sippers like the Pink Squirrel and Grasshopper. Housed on the ground level of the Hilton Omaha, Nick’s Quorum draws inspiration from the original supper clubs in the Midwest (notice our “immediate seating available” sign) at the host stand.

Everything was top notch, food was amazing, friendly staff, the table side prime rib was hands down the best in town! We got seated even before our reservation time and our server was completely amazing! We will definitely be back for more special occasions! Our group of 6 was treated like VIPs and very well taken care of! Highly recommend!
