 Popular Dundee dinner spot |
4949 Underwood Avenue Omaha, NE 68132 United States +1 402 553 5000 |
This ultra-trendy dining spot situated in historic Dundee offers a little spice and lots of energy. It was recently listed in Bon Appetit magazine as "One of the Best Neighborhood Restaurants in the Nation." The interior, which until 1999 housed a corner hardware store, now sports a sleek, modern look. The large dinner menu includes Caribbean Salmon (USD16), Diver Sea Scallops (USD19), Argentinean Spice-Rubbed Filet (USD20) and other tasty options. Since the dining room tends to be a bit noisy, this is not the place to conduct a quiet meeting or a romantic dinner for two. When you come to Bomba Dia, plan to party. No checks accepted.

Fresh seafood with a view |
4150 South 144th Street Omaha, NE 68137 United States +1 402 894 9411 |
A wide selection of seafood sets this restaurant apart from similar upscale dining rooms. Ranging from scallops served with pasta to seafood-stuffed prime rib, you may find it difficult deciding what to order. Non-seafood lovers have plenty of other options, including tender steaks and chicken. Large picture windows provide a view of a small lake. The atmosphere is upscale, so attire should be on the dressy side of casual/informal. Reservations are recommended, especially for large groups or weekends. Additional locations can be found at 3604 Twin Creek Drive in Bellevue and at 3321 South 72nd. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The place for Nebraska steak |
2121 South 73rd Street Omaha, NE 68124 United States +1 402 391 7440 |
Locals flock to this casual steakhouse for Whiskey Steak, prime rib and other classic cuts. Not in a "steak mood?" Try the King Crab leg dinner, a platter overflowing with big, meaty legs. All dinner entrees include potato, vegetable, bread and the freshest salad bar around. Rustic wooden tables, cowboy prints, low lighting and a flickering fireplace set the intimate atmosphere. The bar is especially inviting, with great service and an extremely generous pour. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Northern Indian food with freshly brewed beer |

This Indian restaurant, located in Rockbrook Village, offers great food and custom brews.

Swiss dining with flair |
1224 South 103rd Street (One Pacific Place) Omaha, NE 68124 United States +1 402 955 1485 http://www.wheatfieldscatering... |
This European-style cafe in One Pacific Place is well known for its crepes, omelettes, casseroles and decadent desserts. The lunch and dinner menus are very similar; however, the dinner menu also offers pastas and steaks. Try one of the sumptuous cheese, meat or dessert fondues or a crisp Salad 103. Be sure to save room for dessert. With more than 50 to choose from, you may need to save room for several. The Alpine Torte Cake, a mix of chocolates and cream, is fantastic. Review © 2007, Wcities |
