"This is an Omaha staple I have wanted to cross off my list for years! As you walk up to the restaurant entrance and are 10 feet from the doors I began to hear music with monk chanting overlayed on top of it. This was such a fun touch to setting the mood for the dining experience before even entering the restaurant itself. we arrived around 11:30 am on a Friday and were immediately seated. All the seating options have phenomenal decor surrounding them, some have you surrounded by a library of old books others have you seated in a wine cellar-esque room with a warm fireplace. I give the monk-themed ambiance a 10/10 rating. I was a fan of the lunch menu options, I ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich Au Jus with a fully loaded sweet potato. My mother took a trip to the salad bar and ordered some French Onion Soup. Both meals came with homemade, warm rolls-their bread made in-house is amazing (I could have eaten a whole loaf in one sitting). Service was speedy and staff was super friendly. Portions and prices were reasonable."

Phenomenal!!! I ordered the queen cut prime rib and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had - extremely tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. They have daily specials, a fresh and varied salad bar, and a generous menu of quality homestyle cooking, not to mention the insanely affordable prices.The ambiance made for a unique dining experience. Gregorian chants were playing outside. When you step through the heavy wooden doors, you enter into another world of subdued grandeur. Every room is designed to mimic a different section of a monastery and the details are authentic, down to the selection of real aged classic books on the full wall of shelves. What stood out to me was the patience and kindness of the wait staff. I had lost my voice and was dining alone, communicating through writing. Never once did I feel overlooked or condescended to. The waitress even joked with me at the end! They are genial on the phone as well and let me know they can store your luggage safely while you dine. I left stuffed to the brim with delicious steak and warm hospitality. A must-visit in Omaha.
