To make matters worse, there was no adjustment made to our bill! I was also concerned about the order in which the food arrived.

This was our second time dining here before a show at the Orpheum, and it did not disappoint. The decor is stunning, and the wine selection is impressive. The menu is fun, delicious, and offers a great variety. We made a reservation and were seated at a charming table for two. An added bonus: we used the valet service at Hotel Deco, and our car was safe and sound throughout the show for just $15! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, especially Jack, our server. Even though he was a bit overwhelmed at one point, our food was served promptly, allowing us to reach the show with plenty of time to spare. I highly recommend this place! While it may be pricier than some spots in downtown Omaha, there are also many reasonably priced options available. You're paying for a superior dining experience and the convenience of being directly across from the theater. Five stars!

Horrible, overpriced food. Not surprising that there was almost no one there. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful restaurant and hotel. read more Horrible, overpriced food. Not surprising that there was almost no one there. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful restaurant and hotel.

The restaurant has a lot of potential but the food was just okay and, for the price, would recommend other restaurants in Omaha. Our server, Jack, was fun and knowledgeable and we appreciated his honesty regarding what dishes to order.

We had a lovely romantic dinner. The strip steak was absolutely delicious. It was on the pricey side, but definitely worth it. read more We had a lovely romantic dinner. The strip steak was absolutely delicious. It was on the pricey side, but definitely worth it.

Good the calamari app was stellar, the menu is very simple and limited IMO. As were our main courses, but ok nonetheless. Bad-wine service is non existent, and they use Libby wine glasses, the corking fee is extortion, $25 per btl, and I had to open the wine myself ...priceless! Bad-our server had absolutely no knowledge of anything on the menu from the beers to the soup, cheese board to the mains. Not sure how long she has worked there? Good-she was efficient and pleasant even thou she had zero knowledge. Ugly-valet parking, more extortion. Beware it's $10 whether you eat there or stay there, and they don't tell you that until you get your car back, the guy actually attempted to hold my car hostage until we paid-we didn't pay. If your going to charge for valet tell the patrons up front and not hold there car for payment! Most hotels/restaurants comp any valet fees if you eat there-common sense.

They expertly guided us through the menu, recommending cocktails and perfectly paired wines. The team was prompt in clearing finished plates, striking a balance between attentive service and a leisurely dining pace. This seamless experience left a lasting impression, and we can’t wait to return. Monarch is a standout addition to Omaha’s dining scene, and we’re eager to introduce it to our out-of-town friends. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem!

I had the black pepper marshmallow foam on a potato leek soup to start—absolutely amazing! The unexpected flavor combinations truly surprise the palate and are visually appealing as well. The wait staff strikes a perfect balance, being attentive and professional without being overbearing. The presentation of each dish is stunning, and the fresh, mouthwatering food only enhances the experience. It’s really a well-rounded sensory delight. On top of that, the ambiance of the restaurant is gorgeous. It’s going to take me a moment to come back down to reality after this meal!

The filet was undoubtedly the best beef I've ever tasted. The red potatoes and asparagus rounded out our meal perfectly. The carrot cake was anything but ordinary; the chef added a unique twist to it!

I dined with vegetarians and found those options to be delicious and some of the best items on the menu especially the gnudi. I highly recommend goat cheesecake for dessert.

This was my initial visit and I'm hoping that the food is consistent in the future, because if it is, it will be one of my favorite spots in Omaha. As well, I do hope that the service is friendlier in the future. It was professional, but a bit cold which was a little uninviting (from our server). The hostess and everyone else was very warm however. Blistered shisito peppers 5 stars This is the best shisito dish I've had in Omaha so far. Often they are flavored with an Asian sauce, but the chef let's these peppers shine on their own. Herb marinated Olives 5 stars Remiscent of my visit to Chicago when I was staying on the Fairmont gold floor. Wagyu steak and frites 5 star The sauce was so good on this. The flavor was subtle but I couldn't get enough. It was exceptionally tender. Pork shank 4.5 star Technically it could be a 5 star, my best friend certainly thought so. The outside was a bit over cooked but the inside closer to the bone was perfect. It might be an issue with the size which is absolutely massive. If you're hungry I'd recommend this. Lemon tart 4.5 stars A bit too sweet for me, but still an excellent dessert. The crust is stiff like a cookie so it took a bit too break. Creme brulee 5 star One of the best versions I've had. The sugar on top was a bit thick, I would have preferred a thinner crust, but the perfect consistency of the custard won me over. Parking is metered street parking but there is a parking lot. We paid $10 for the evening. We did not inquire if there was other parking available (for example in the hotel)

Lots of stuff to see and the people watching is excellent. We shared the wyobi steak tartar...this was a first for me, but we heard they have the best in the area, can 't go wrong , so we tried it. It was excellent! The bar tender did an amazing job too...professional at every level. Highly recommended!!!
