Boiler Room

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Omaha! The atmosphere, the service and specially the food are amazing!My wife and I went there for our anniversary and we were seated at a table surrounded by wine that made the experience very intimate and romantic. The waitress was funny and answered every questions we had. Overall it was an amazing by experience that I can't wait to do it again!

Wow, this restaurant is so unique and the food is amazing. It doesn't look like much on the outside. It's in a run-down industrial brick building. When you walk in, it's an amazing space with an open layout and you can see the kitchen right away. I got seated right above where the chef plates food. It was hot being above the stoves, but what an amazing experience! The food was amazing and I've never been to a restaurant where I can watch them cook and plate all the dishes. Highly recommend!

If I could give 10 stars I would. This was our first time coming here and won't be our last! We came for our anniversary and they had specially printed menus that said happy anniversary, it's small but it felt really special! They also gave us two glasses of champagne to celebrate.Started off with the honey nut squash soup and scallops. The soup will be something I dream of for the remainder of my life and did we try and recreate it? Yes. The scallops were also very delish!For dinner we split the wagyu ribeye steak and when I say it's the best steak I've ever had I mean it. It cut like butter and was amazing!We rounded out the night with mignardise and a chocolate cake. I very much recommend the mignardise because it has a few small bites of different desserts and they were all delicious.The experience was great and the service was excellent! Don't come here thinking you will be walking out with a small bill, but it's all worth it!

Very romantic place and matches its name BOILER ROOM!! and the seating is very cool, overlooks the chefs and kitchen area! Received complimentary champagne for our anniversary! The wagyu beef tartare was yum!! Tasted almost like pâté! The venison was paired so well with the sweet potatoes and everyone else on the plate. The pairings that came with the Wagyu sirloin steak was a bit salty, but steak was cooked to medium just perfectly. The dessert... not usually a big cherry person but the spiced cake was interesting and was so good with the ice cream and milk crumb! Service was nice and helpful when it came to helping with choosing wines to pair w our meals! Expensive, but so worth a try for a special date night!!

A wonderful restaurant for all occasions. We have been here a number of times before and always enjoy a special meal. Tim Nicholson of The Boiler Room is a nominee for Best Chef: Midwest as part of the 2024 James Beard Awards and well deserved. After years of street construction parking access to the restaurant is much easier. You actually enter the restaurant at street level which is the upper level dining area. The restaurant includes a party room and a wonderful viewing of the bar and area from upstairs. Downstairs offers additional seating. Tastefully restored the restaurant has a modern vibe with preservation of the historic structure.Service is always premium at this restaurant and it did not fail today. The food selections were wonderful and all top quality. While a little pricier than some area restaurants, it's truly worth the treat. Nearly everything served is made in house from bread to charcuterie, sides and attention to detail is obvious.

Perfect service, perfect table where I could see chef doing all the plating including my own dishes! The dishes I ordered were all beautifully plated and tasted amazing. I loved the crispy seafood croquettes, the tomatoes with the burrata and basil pistou, and the chicken terrine with the cornbread and pickled okra were also fantastic! The chef kindly delivered my check with an ube macaron. It was such a nice experience! I love this restaurant because of the old brick and interesting art with the view down into the kitchen. I'll always be back here whenever possible.

Came here for Valentine's Day! Very romantic & cool interior design. Pricey but expected for the high quality cuisine. The staff was very friendly - A+! We said we'd definitely come back and even make it a Valentine's Day tradition because we enjoyed ourselves so much

Ambience- The place was very cozy and inviting and a nice set up for a date night or dinner with a small group. It was a mix of rustic with modern touches. Very elegant overall without being too stuffy.Food- the food was overall very good. The starters were unique both in texture, taste and presentation and we thoroughly enjoyed each item we tried. For the main courses, all of our meat was cooked to perfection and the dishes were all beautifully plated. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and of good quality and the dishes were overall very flavorful and well balanced both in taste and texture. I would happily order any of the items we tried again. The food came in a reasonable time. The cocktails were good but I wouldn't come here just for the drinks. Service - unfortunately this is the area that lost points from us. I feel as if I could not rate the restaurant higher than 3 stars solely due to the poor service we received. Our server was nice and pleasant however had absolutely no insight into virtually any item on the menu. We asked about taste and descriptions of a variety of cocktails, appetizers, and meal items and the common answers we received was "i'm not sure" or "i don't know I haven't tried that" or " I don't eat or drink xyz so I couldn't tell you". They were not even sure what was on the menu that evening and at one point we were reading the menu together. I understand the menu changes and i don't expect a server to know every detail or every item but I expect a restaurant of its caliber and price point to have servers who can provide at least a small amount of insight into the menu items and provide better answers than "i'm not sure". I have received better service at diners. This place was pricey but overall we did enjoy the food. I would return at least one more time and think it's worth trying at least once.

I apparently failed to review this fine establishment before! This is something I now will remedy.The Boiler Room is a delicious fine dining establishment. The street level entry doesn't prepare you for the open-basement view of the kitchen and bar area. The bar is quite good, reason alone to visit them. The dining can occur there, but the good tables are up on the first floor.Service is excellent and prompt. Whether table side or at the bar, we found it suited us, then and now.The food is rich and delicious. Even the charcuterie plate for the nibbling is quite good. Well worth the visit.

Fantastic food, excellent, knowledgeable staff. Best of all was the restaurant itself. I will be going back again.
