Great food and good service! Had ahi tuna and brussel sprouts- yummy! My husband had the salmon. Executed very well. Dessert was good had the creme brulee. Would suggest a French roast coffee though with dessert.

However, the roasted prime rib was middle of the road. Drinks were great!

We started with a bottle of the Peirano Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon from Lodi, California (2017). It was delicious, not too heavy, and not too dry with great flavor to compliment our steaks. Perfect for sipping all throughout our meal. We began by splitting a caesar salad. A classic caesar salad to start a meal beats a house salad any day in my book. The baked parmesan crisp was a nice, unique touch. Could’ve done without the whole anchovy on my plate though. We also shared some warm dinner rolls with butter alongside our salads. They were honestly average dinner rolls not any Cheesecake Factory bread or Texas Roadhouse rolls by any means. Could have been softer and hotter with maybe a sweet butter. I think you can base a lot on a restaurant’s bread. For our entrees we each ordered a 12 oz. medium New York Strip with garlic butter mine with lobster macaroni and cheese topped with bread crumbs, my significant other’s with buttery mashed yukon gold mashed potatoes. The steaks were definitely the best part and why shouldn’t they be? They were cooked PERFECTLY. That sear... so juicy and excellently seasoned. The mashed potatoes were also great and a good portion. The lobster mac and cheese could have been bigger. It was so rich and creamy though... absolutely delicious! Which is why I wanted more lol. My only complaint other than the size would be that there was just one little piece of lobster in there... I would recommend just getting the regular mac and cheese. Our last anniversary we went to J.Gilbert's and their lobster mac (and burnt ends mac... and for that matter their BREAD) were all much more noteworthy. Our server was fantastic and attentive, the atmosphere was romantic, the seating was appropriately distanced at every other table, and they let us choose a dessert on the house for anniversary. We chose the chocolate decadence cake topped with chocolate ganache and with a small scoop of Ted and Wally's rice crispy ice cream. Again, only complaint is that it could have been bigger. “Decadence” makes you think bigger. But it was very moist and absolutely delicious. Overall no regrets, and definitely recommend checking this place out.

Wife loved the Troon..so much she had two..I know the nights going to be great when that happens. I had the old fashioned and it was well made. I had the Cheesesteak sandwich and the chef told me it was the best in Omaha..id say it was right up there but the old cheese choice of yellow American caused a slight deduction. The steak was the real attraction and it was well seasoned. The prime crostini was outstanding as well and we could have easily ordered another. Got to spend about 15 mins chopping it up with the Chef. He was personable and told us about the menu and we got to know a bit about him. Great dude. Overall a great night with great food and drink. We will be back soon to have dinner.
