Brother Sebastian's

Loved the monastery decor and atmosphere. The bells ringing and chanting while you approach the entrance is a nice touch. Service was excellent. Never had to ask for anything, our server was there right when we needed him. Salad bar was excellent. Everything was fresh and the options were plentiful. The food was top notch and our Baked Alaska dessert was delicious and had a great tableside presentation. Will definitely go again if I am in Omaha.

Place came recommended by a colleague and it did NOT disappoint!! Some of the best prime rib I've ever had. The bread pudding old fashioned was absolutely amazing!! Pricing was reasonable. Service was very attentive. Different areas throughout restaurant are all themed/decorated a little differently. Salad bar was delicious and well maintained! Delicious bread to start. I will absolutely come back when I'm in town again!!

We had a fabulous family lunch meal experience with Nicole as our amazing and attentive service. We started with an appetizer sampler, Oso Bleu cocktails, and a caraf of wine. My rib eye was perfect and savory, as was the asparagus. I enjoyed the fresh salad bar as well. We had frog legs, and prime rib and meat loaf, and ended with a cinnamon cheesecake for dessert. Everything was hot, and plated nicely. We sat by the fireplace and had plenty of room for the 5 of us. We will be going back soon, and bring the rest of the family. Well worth the price.

Stopped by Brother Sebastian’s while in town and was blown away. Friendly host staff was able to get our group in right away despite a busy (and reservation-packed) evening. Server was friendly and attentive. A large beverage and cocktail menu has something for everyone. Salad bar also had tons of options and dedicated attendants keeping items stocked and the salad bar clean. My sirloin steak was incredible and I was blown away at the value. Trip to the salad bar (with full size plates! No tiny salad bar plates here!) large steak and two sides all for under $30?! In this economy? Highly recommend!

The place is very unique. It doesn’t seem like much from the outside, but it is super cool inside. The staff were very attentive and very cool. My only issue is the steaks. I was so excited to get the ribeye. I asked for it to be cooked medium, but what I got was almost well done. It was dry and flavorless, despite covering it with salt and melted butter. Did I say anything to the waiter for them to fix it? No, but I didn’t want to cause a scene. I’m not going to give them a crappy rating because I didn’t give them the chance to fix it. However, even though it was cooked way beyond what I asked for, it had no flavor and it was very dry. Also, my green beans were almost cold, and I could not chop them up with a fork and knife. Would I come back? Even if they got the meat cooked how I like it, I want flavor. I had a few people at my table who had the exact same experience as I did, but there were a few who had a wonderful experience.

This was my first dining experience with Brothers, and I would definitely return if I'm ever back in Omaha. The ambiance and decor was amazing! The staff were dressed like monks and were very attentive and professional without being a nuisance. My food was prepared perfectly and was delicious but a number of people in my party had steaks served at the wrong temperature. In fairness, they did not ask for it to be remedied but they were a little disappointed given the price. Definitely try the frog legs and scallops as additions to your entrée.

Always a joy eating here. It's nice and quiet for a romantic dinner or for a company dinner with a client. The appetizers are very good...shrimp scampi is to die for! The escargot was delicious as well. The prime rib is the specialty and was nice and tender. Overall, the experience was a delight and I always look forward to going back.

Ely was an amazing waiter. We had a party of 6 for an 80th birthday party last Friday. The food was phenomenal. I couldn't believe how big the baked Alaska was. This was our first time visiting and we have already recommended it to family and friends. Can't wait to return if we are ever in Omaha again.

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.

The food is too expensive to be this mediocre. Fiancé ordered a steak blue rare and it was probably more on the medium side. The waitress was great and immediately took it back and they made a new one. Salad bar is sad and it's funny they imply you can go up one time. The decor is cheesy. I saw another review saying this was a place your grandparents would love and that couldn't be more spot on. Lobster was a bit dry, but the crab was delicious.

OK, there may be some in Omaha who love this place, I'm sorry in advance. But I've also talked to some Omaha natives who agree with me on this. I also want to say that I've been getting heckled for 5 years by co-workers who I took to this place thinking it was all that. It wasn't. I think I also need to say that I haven't been here is that same 5 years since, so it might have improved, but based on what I've heard, not so much. So I'd never been to Omaha before (years ago) and when we arrived I asked the hotel concierge, our Uber driver and a couple of other locals to recommend the best steakhouse they could. They ALL said Brother Sebastians. So we went! I took a group of 10 or so co-workers to dinner here. Sigh. When we rolled up, we saw that the restaurant was in a strip mall, which isn't an indictment, but didn't bode well either. Then we saw that it was decorated in late 16th century monastery and had Gregorian chants playing as ambiance music. Hmmm. Going inside, it was dark-ish and monastic but still we kept our resolve. The food was "meh" at best. The steaks were rather tepid and grey-ish and the rest of the dinner was unremarkable. The salad bar had a sneeze guard on it, super classy. I honestly can't remember anything about the service, so it was probably acceptable. Suffice to say, I've now broken the vow of silence on this place and we won't be back.

I've recently been on an adventure out of morbid curiosity to eat at the old classic steakhouses around Omaha that I hadn't tried. I'd been to Venice Inn, Piccolo's, Gorat's and Mr C's in my childhood, so there were just a few I had to hit in my adulthood to finish my quest. Brother Sebastian's was one of those, and it was surprisingly pleasant! My husband and I went at lunch time because we live pretty close so could just bop over for a quick bite. It was still pretty busy, even being in the middle of the week, but the lunch portions and prices are a big draw, I think. The busy atmosphere didn't hurt the service one bit, and we had a great server who gave us a few suggestions (especially when it came to dessert, but I'll get to that later). And as the atmosphere goes, it is pretty dim and reminiscent of an Italian monastery/winery, with Gregorian chant type music playing and wine barrels worked into the decor. There are a few different areas of the establishment, and they are all named for parts of the monastery (the chapel, the winery, the study, etc). We started with the salad bar, and it was pretty great, with lots of options for toppings (including eggs and olives, which are my go-to). I had Thousand Island dressing but it was not the peach color we're used to, it was most-likely a homemade version that was very pale/almost white and SO good. A lot lighter tasting also than the Thousand Island I'm so used to at salad bars. My husband tried the traditional red dressing that Brother Sebastian's is known for, and it was also amazing - I will get that next time we go, for sure. You also get warm rolls with some decadent whipped butter to begin the meal, but definitely don't fill up on that! I chose the lunch size of the Beef Stroganoff, and it was so tasty and hearty. Large linguine noodles topped with perfectly seasoned beef, and the portion is HUGE, even at lunch time. I know you can also get this on the dinner menu, but I can't imagine it needing to be much larger. This also came with some toasted garlic bread that was a nice touch, as I had a little bit of the beef on the garlic bread too. My husband got the Chicken Fried Chicken, and it was served with mashed potatoes and chicken gravy. I had a few bites of his and it was wonderful too - very homey and nostalgic, like something your family would make at Thanksgiving. Excellently cooked and succulent chicken, with breading that wasn't too crunchy and gravy that was just the perfect mix of salty and savory. You can't go wrong with this one. We wanted to try a few desserts (one each), so I got the Raspberry Bread Pudding, because I'm a big bread pudding fan. It was warm and filled with fresh berries and custard, and topped with some white chocolate drizzle. It was almost TOO good, but I did eat as much as I could while saving room to share some of my husband's desserts choice. He ordered the chocolate cake, which our server suggested and told us was the specialty of a long-time customer/baker. It was DELISH, with four layers of rich chocolate cake, chocolate ganache frosting between them, and a buttercream chocolate frosting that was to die for. This was a chocolate bomb in the best way possible, but you definitely should probably share it with someone vs. ordering it only for yourself only. We were there at lunch time, like I said, but the low cost of this meal was SUPER surprising. With two meals, two salad bars, two desserts, and drinks, the entire meal was under $55 for two, at a nice sit down, steakhouse. As I said, I'm working my way through the classic steakhouses of Omaha, and this one has been my favorite so far. I definitely recommend this for a special occasion, a date night, a business meal, or just for a nice lunch or dinner out for any occasion.

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.

I went here for a work dinner, my coworker has been her several times before. Love the monastery atmosphere of the place. Service was excellent, although the steak not so much. The salad bar is a nice touch. We both ordered sirloin steaks and they were borderline inedible. From what I could tell the flavor was there but it was tough and the knife could barely cut it. Yes, we could have complained but after a long day of work we were done. We had filled up on bread, salad, and a glass of wine anyway. We were one of the last diners there for the night. I believe my coworker that it's a good place since she has always enjoyed her meals there. I guess they were off this night.

This review is based on food, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, and value. The food was okay. I wouldn't order the sampler again. Did not enjoy. It just seemed like frozen food section items at the grocery store. The salad bar was good. My steak was underwhelming. I ordered the 22oz porterhouse. It was a tad overcooked, but also not a great cut. The service was okay. The dining area was clean from what I could tell, but it was so dark it's hard to say. The atmosphere was weird, with the whole monk/cult theme. The value is where they take the biggest hit. They are changing premium prices, but are delivering mediocre food. Overall, not terrible, but also not worth the price. It's like an overpriced sizzler.

One of the best steak restaurants in the area . I love their prime ribs with the Queen cut . We went there 3 times in 2 weeks ! The lunch menu has the same Queen cut prime ribs with mushrooms and one free side but it is $7 less than the dinner price ! Love their dessert cooked cherry in wine and pour over vanilla ice cream . The decoration is like inside a monk seminary. Each section of the restaurant is decorated differently! You get a fry salad bar with diner and the salad is fresh with a variety of vegetables . Excellent dining experience!

This is my go to place every time. It has great food, great prices, and wonderful ambience. It can get a bit busy, but the staff is very friendly and tries to accommodate each person. Every time I go to Omaha, this is a must go to place.

My ribeye was really good, but I was very disappointed by my two sides. Both were pretty bland and I didn't really enjoy them. Would definitely be a 5 star experience if they had more flavorful sides!

I really, really wanted to like this place. We went there for our 24th anniversary. I mentioned that to the person when I called and made a reservation, and they made a comment that they would make sure it would be a nice location. Ummmm, it was just a table... the waiter didn't realize it was our anniversary. That's fine, we could have told our waiter but didn't really want to make a fuss. And can I say that they really need to take a few days to dust their decor. I couldn't believe the amount of dust on all the empty wine bottles on the wall. I could see in the next room with the casks and I could see dust on those props too. The plates on the salad bar were warm. Both stacks of plates were fresh-from-the-dishwasher-warm. I hate warm salad plates. Their greens were fresh. The salad bar options were typical. The best thing I ate all night was the peppercorn parmesan dressing. It was excellent, and I tried 3 dressings on different areas of my salad. The fresh bread brought to the table looked good and was piping hot. But it lacked flavor. Of any kind. So I used salt. My husband ordered the King cut prime rib. He was very disappointed in the size. He really thinks he got the Queen cut by mistake. My husband can look at something like that and tell you what it weighs. He's really good at that. Anyway, he said it was very tender. He gave me a bite. I am not the biggest beef fan on earth. But I like a good bite of steak. This was not it. It was bland and flavorless. This place is known for prime rib. Where is the seasoning? It was so lackluster and boring. We were in Omaha so I expected good beef. If I had gotten that plate I may have cried. He got hollandaise and it was a complete disaster--he said it was pretty bad. On a positive note, the au jus is brought out in a candle lit ramekin that keeps it hot. I got scallops. Oh boy. Where to start. The bacon wrapped around the scallops... it could not have been more limp. Like raw limp. I'm sure they cooked it, but I don't do limp bacon. I unwrapped it, brought it home, and finished cooking it. Literally. The scallops were ok. The Dijon sauce was ok... kind of weird with the scallops honestly. It was so unappetizing on a bed of lettuce that I didn't even want to take a picture. But I should have so others could see--sorry that I didn't. My sweet potato was burned on one side so much so that the inside tasted a little burned too, but majority of it was just fine. The Oso Blue drink was very good even if it was heavy on the ice. Given how disappointed I was with the food, I decided not to roll the dice and get the baked Alaskan dessert. I really wanted to, but I just couldn't. I just wanted the night to end. But my hubby got a bottle of wine to enjoy before we Ubered back to our AirBnB so I had a chocolate martini. That was the best decision I made all night. Get the chocolate martini.

I came here when a friend was in town visiting, and we both thought this was a really cool steakhouse. It's designed to be like a monastery, so the outside is sort of church shaped and they play Gregorian chant outside. The inside continues the vibe and I think it's super unique and cool. The service was good and friendly. The food was also super tasty. I ordered a medium rare steak with potatoes. My friend ordered a steak Reuben sandwich. Overall, would definitely recommend even if it's just for the vibes

I really wanted to love this place due to others who've had a great experience however my experience did not live up to the recommendations. The ambience is nice, has a fun yet cozy feel and is a restaurant that was full but not feel crowded. There is not a lot of waiting room space in the front so we ended up having to wait in our car for 45 minutes until it was time to be seated. Not ideal but not a big deal. Our service was fine, they seemed to be a little under staffed as it took awhile for us to be able to order but once we ordered our food did come at a reasonable time. As for the food/drinks. We got a few bourbon cocktails (old fashion and whiskey sour) which were just not good. They felt like old fashions we would've gotten at an old run down college bar before you knew what good alcohol was and not cocktails you'd except from a steak house. Granted they are more known for wine and not cocktails but i'd except it to taste a little better and be more well balanced. I really enjoyed the salad bar and thought it was a nice addition to your entree. Honestly this was probably my favorite part of the whole meal/experience. The bread you get with your meal is bland and tasteless. We got a shrimp cocktail for an appetizer which was good and very enjoyable but nothing special. We both got steaks entrees with a few sides. My steak was undercooked so I had them take it back and cook it a little more which was seemed to be a mistake because once I got to back the texture was chalky and the steak was overall barely edible. Our sides were lackluster and bland at best. Overall really not impressed with this place and did not enjoy much of anything we got. Not sure if it was just a bad day to dine there but there are much better steak houses in Omaha and likely won't bother to try it again.

I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. Upon entering, you'll find 8 differently themed rooms. Each is small with maybe 10 tables a piece. It makes for a very comfortable experience. The food was good and our service was exceptional. Our waiter was fantastic and the evening manager was continuously walking around checking on everyone's meals. The history behind this restaurant is remarkable and the love the employees have for it is highly apparent. You can tell they love their job and the restaurant. Give it a try!

Wife and I went for lunch today. We both had the chicken fried steak lunch. The food was perfectly cooked and very good, but the portions were significantly smaller than last time we had lunch there. The salad bar was absolutely fantastic, cold plates to put extremely fresh salad on everything fresh and the salad dressings were great. The service was good and the restaurant is very clean. The internet menu prices are cheaper than the menu prices, lunch is about a dollar higher and the salad bar with meal is $5.25 instead of the $3.50 on the internet price. Usually used to always get "doggie's" bag when done eating but not necessary with the reduced portions. Bottom line, will we go back, Absolutely, good food and great salad bar.

This was a fun environment and the staff treated us very well. The food was delicious and I would recommend this as a fun and tasty place to eat. It made for a great date night meal.

Not a place for a business dinner, let's start there and I accept some responsibility, but after searching both Yelp and TripAdvisor I decided to take a VP level person within my company out to dinner. Not the best idea, but fortunately the food was solid. Trip advisor it is definitely not $$$$, adjust please $$ First of all it's out in the middle of nowhere, first strike if you staying downtown Omaha. Second strike is the restaurant itself it is severely dated, you immediately transport to the 1970's both the outside and especially the inside, dark and dank right out of an Edgar Allen Poe novel. The menu was far too large and extremely confusing, recommend to throw out tradition and update. Wine selection was good and we settled on a nice bottle that did not disappoint. I started off with the French onion soup and it did not disappoint, could use a slightly more firm bread, but the broth and cheese were decadent. Salad bar, yes I said salad bar!!! When I saw that upon entering I literally about died, but the execution was solid, with chilled plates and a perfectly fresh selection. I personally love salad bars, but wish I would have know up front, more research on my part I suspect. Steaks were perfectly cooked and flavorful, both the filet and the strip steak. I was super happy with the execution for the main reason of the visit. As stated, probably a stable to the Omaha family tradition, but that doesn't mean you can't improve the establishment. You might start winning awards again!! I would actually rate this 3.5 stars if I could, but I applaud the execution of solid food!

We came here on a minication to Omaha and we are so glad we picked here for a steak dinner! I'll be honest, when we first entered the restaurant I was a little nervous because of the whole monk theme. The speakers outside the restaurant were playing Gregorian chants and the servers wear robes. It was a bit off-putting but I got past that feeling as soon as our amazing and friendly server greeted us. Our server treated us like royalty throughout the evening. I wish I remembered her name so I could give her a shout out. If the manager is reading this we were in the cask room (?) on Oct. 21st so whichever server was assigned to that room - give her a pat on the back! To the food: I had the filet & my husband had the peppercorn strip. Both were EXCELLENT. The meals came with salads from the salad bar which was GREAT. I don't know why everybody who spends a little more than average on a meal thinks salad bars are passé. I love picking what goes on my plate but to each their own. TLDR: Lovely service and amazing food. Highly recommend.

Just go with a sense of humor and have fun. If you take yourself and your steak too seriously, steer (pun intended) clear of this spot as there are plenty of stuffy steakhouses to suit your needs. Loved my steak and sides. And....a salad bar? Need I say more? Great time. Great ambience. Friendly service. I will be back.

We met friends for a graduation dinner. We had reservation for a party 8. We were seated right away. Our server did an excellent job with drinks, meal and cleaning the table. The meals were disappointing. My wife and i ordered salmon and sweet potato. The salmon portions were small. The salmon portions were not well seasoned and dry. The baked sweet potato was tasteless. The squash vegetable was unevenly cooked. Some pieces were crunchy and some were soft. One of my sons order the New York strip. He said the steak was under seasoned and the beef was tasteless. My other son order the kabob. One kabob was cooked medium rare. The other kabob was rare and almost blue. Overall i cannot recommend this restaurant. The prices seemed higher than expected especially for the food quality.

I've heard great things about this place and did enjoy it! I ordered the top sirloin which was not as much as I was expecting based on the reviews I've heard, but was much larger than I thought for $27! I LOVED the veggies--great butter flavor on the asparagus and excellent bacon mixture with the green beans. The steak was cooked perfectly (MR), but I wasn't a big fan of the crispy/charred outside. This is probably personal preference! In my opinion it could have had more flavor, and less char flavor. Salad bar was great as well--definitely a little higher end with mushrooms, and great dressings. I'd come back again but would probably try the prime rib or hollandaise steaks. My friends got these and they looked amazing!

Decided to try this steak place after not having been in many many years. We tried the ribeye and prime rib. Overall, everything was pretty good. I appreciated that the it included salad bar and one vegetable, and price was very reasonable. It wasn't the best steak I have had in Omaha, but still pretty good. The flavor could be improved and mine felt a little dry. We tried the Raspberry Bread Pudding for dessert and thought that was incredible! It was served warm and tasted like perfection!

The food was better than average and the prices were fine. I ordered a lobster tail with my meal; but, it was not put on the ticket. Service was friendly. Meat was cooked correctly. I ordered the prime rib. I would go again.

Our waiter, Sean, was phenomenal. He was attentive, fast, and polite. The food was excellent but I was very impressed with the service. Sean checked on us multiple times and was genuinely cheerful. As a visitor from California, I'd definitely come back. The steaks were top notch and the ambience was great too, which is always a plus.

15/10 would recommend. We loved this place. It's easily our favorite in town so far (we're visiting). I'm can be a a picky eater at times, and I enjoyed every bit of this meal. The salad was fresh, the steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection, the sangria was not too sweet, and our waitress wad wonderful. The theme was quirky, but it was so cool to see that each room was themed. It's also nice that each room makes the restaurant quieter and more intimate. I have a friend coming into town next week and have already told him it's a must while he's here. You MUST go here if you're in Omaha.

The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. My husband ordered a petite fillet and I ordered the Queen Prine Rib. It was sooo good. I will come to Omaha just for the steak.

Food and atmosphere are wonderful. Truly a Omaha favorite. Service is exceptional. Drinks are very well made with a great pour.

Pretty solid steakhouse. I got the queen cut prime rib. It came with the salad bar and two sides (choice of potato) and vegetable. Unfortunately, the only vegetable you didn't have to pay extra for was a zucchini/squash mix. Asparagus was $1.95 more. I'm guessing to get your baked potato "loaded" there was also an up charge, as my bill was more than the menu said. Or maybe it was the horseradish my server asked if I wanted? I'm not sure what it was for.. I wouldn't have minded if the charge was told to me up front. Anyway, no chives (or green onions), which was unfortunate. The bread for the table didn't have much flavor. The prime rib had a pretty good taste, though. I liked that the au jus came with a candle to stay warm in theory, but the heat wasn't close enough to keep it warm. Good try. The salad bar was pretty good, though I would have preferred a salad with romaine instead of iceberg. It's a better lettuce. And real bacon bits instead of the imitation kind. Service was good, but I'd recommend the restaurant invest in a POS system. Making the servers do things by hand is a bit much- unless it's part of the charm?? Cool ambiance. Nice wine list.

FANTASTIC steak. Easily ranks amongst the best I've ever had. I ordered the filet with mashed potatoes and carrots. The steak itself was perfectly seared on the outside with a nice little crust. The inside was exactly medium. Walking up outside and hearing the Gregorian chants and music was really fun. Loved the ambiance inside with the different rooms. If I'm ever back in Omaha I will definitely return. And HIGHLY recommended for someone looking for a fun experience and an epic piece of beef. Five stars easily given!!!

Had some friends visiting from out of town and they wanted to go to a cool steakhouse. They loved the vibe and the food. As with other restaurants, orices are def going up (queen cut prime rib is now $35+). All around solid experience and service. Each meal comes with 1 trip to the salad bar.

Wife and I went eat here for belated birthday celebration for myself. Salad bar was amazing as usual I ordered New York strip, which was very good and well prepared. Service was incredible. if you've never been here, you must try it. Ambience is very unique..

Friendly service. Food, nicely timed and as to order. Steaks are tasty and well seasoned. No extras needed. Kinda aged gimecky restaurant, nothing bad but not fine dining. Bourdon cacktails, specifically old fashion, stay away, I think they mulled a maraschino in it. All in all not a bad experience

Love the ambiance in this place, but the service and food was sub par. I was excited to experience this local steakhouse, but was let down by the steak meal. The steak and vegetable medley didn't really have much flavor and was not worth the price I paid. I'm also very picky when it comes to mushrooms and was sad when canned mushrooms were the topping instead of fresh. The only thing I appreciated was the salad bar.

Once again, Brother Sebastian's did not disappoint. Right as soon as we were seated, our server, Natalie, came over to welcome us and ask if we wanted anything other than water to drink. Salad bar with their homemade spinach dressing was great. My husband got the fried shrimp, loaded sweet potato and spaghetti as a side. I decided on the scallops Dijon with brown sugar bacon with a baked potato and zucchini with squash. Everything was great including my veggies (after I ordered, I was afraid the veggies might be overcooked). We ordered our desserts to go and when Natalie brought these out along with our to-go boxes, she also had a large scoop of ice cream topped with whipped cream in a martini glass. The glass was rimmed with chocolate and sprinkles. The ice cream was drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce and sprinkled with more sprinkles. She said she'd heard it was our anniversary so this was on the house! Natalie was very attentive. She kept our water glasses filled and checked on us a couple of times to see if we needed anything! She thanked us for dining with Brother's. As we were leaving another server as well as the host also thanked us for dining with them!

My family and I love brother Sebastian's and have been going since I was a kid. If you want the best steak or seafood in town- this is your place! I wish I could get everything on the menu but my favorite is the shrimp with mashed potatoes! My boyfriend loves the stuffed shrimp! Both are AMAZING. The salad bar is also delicious and always well stocked. The staff are awesome, kind & quick! They're all dressed as monks to fit the style of the restaurant. Our favorite room is the library room but it's all amazing and very cool inside. 10/10. I will forever be going here!

I ate dinner here recently with a group of 5 other people. All in all, an excellent experience. Two of us ordered customized steaks with no problem (we asked for the sauce from one steak menu item to be put on our steak, instead of the sauce that would have otherwise been served with our steak menu item). Our steaks turned out to be excellent. The baked potato I ordered was very good (and came with only butter on it, as I requested). Everyone enjoyed their meals. Service was great. Mixed drinks and wine were excellent. Atmosphere is fantastic. Parking is good. Just a couple of suggested improvements: - I asked if I could substitute a cup of soup INSTEAD of going to the salad bar (I have never eaten a salad, and at my age, I'm not going to change). I was told yes, but was only told after the fact that my soup meant a $3 up-charge. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to be informed of this prior, not after. - The soup I received was New England clam chowder. It tasted good, I just wish it had been served hot. The potatoes in my soup were actually cold, and the overall temperature of the soup was barely warm, not hot (as it should be served). - My vegetable (glazed carrots) tasted pretty good, but in my humble opinion, baked carrots should be tender. Mine were fairly crunchy. - The bread served at the table was nothing to write home about. I found it to be rather dry, and it really had very little discernible taste. Adding the whipped butter made it more edible. Overall, a pretty good dinner. But, be prepared to spend a bit of money here.

Great evening, lovely salad bar and the Prime Rib is "Mouth Watering"! Very cool concept with the Monk costumes.

When my husband asked one of my coworkers for a steakhouse recommendation, this was the first place mentioned. We are new to the Omaha area, and wanted a nice dinner out to celebrate my new job. Upon arrival, I was kind of surprised that there was monastery-monk music playing from speakers outside. My husband and I definitely exchanged a few looks. These looks just kind of got better inside, when we realized that the waiters are, also, dressed like monks. The restaurant's name suddenly made sense. The inside is actually pretty neat. It seems a bit like the restaurant could be in Disneyland. It's very on theme with everything else - monastery-esque rooms with low lighting. It would probably be fun for kids. They were playing Enya. I had never been to a steakhouse in Omaha before, and given the glowing recommendation by my coworker I expected the food to be amazing. The salad bar was fairly standard, but my steak was just okay. It was just a hair undercooked from my preference (med-rare), but it just didn't have much seasoning on it. When we went to Texas Roadhouse a week later, I was kind of shocked by how much better that one tasted over the one that cost almost three times as much as the one I ordered at Brother Sebastian's. We ordered a bread pudding for desert at the recommendation of our waitress, and it was definitely heated in a microwave - stone cold in the center and molten hot goo on the outside. Our waitress was friendly, but nothing in particular stood out about the service. I can't say I'll ever come back, but the experience was definitely interesting.

My wife and I have been coming here for over 30 Years! The food is always perfect. My wife's favorite is the breaded cauliflower! Did you know they have a salad bar? The steaks are always perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Thier fresh bread is also awesome. Every time we eat here we are always check on by management which is refreshing in this day and age. Not that it is needed because the staff is always friendly and prompt. Here is to another30 years.

Was visitng the areas from another state and was looking for a steakhouse for the one night I was in Omaha. Found this place. Cool theming, we loved our meals. The portions and cut were very nice. Pricing was moderate and within our expectation. would recommend.

Excellent historic steakhouse in Omaha. Decor is a bit dated, but then again we don't go there for the decor. The large variety salad bar is a hit with the spouse and the steak and potatoes are very well prepared. Service is good, non-assuming but attentive and there when you need them. We had the New York Strip, medium-rare to medium with mashed potatoes. Steak had a hard sear and was served hot. Perfectly cooked and seasoned and required not a drop of steak sauce. Highly recommended for all our friends. Get a reservation early, this place fills up quick and wait times can be up to +2hrs on a weekday and possibly longer on weekends and holidays. Give it a try and you won't be sorry.

Food quality and preparation are down hill from historic memory We, and several of our friends no longer go here. So sad!

I made a reservation here for my boyfriend and my two month anniversary because he really is a fan of good steak. The place had a really nice vibe. Dim lightning, cozy corners and very individualized private seating. Definitely perfect for date night! For the food we ordered the Baked French Onion Soup to start with and then split the Filet Sebastian. The Baked French Onion Soup was really fresh and warm and had nice cheesy coating on top. It was steaming but not at all too hot. This was actually my first time trying a dish like this and I really liked it. Good balance and flavor of the onion with that cheesiness. We took an extra salad bar with the main order because we were afraid there wouldn't be too many vegetables in the meal. The salad bar options were decent. Spinach and lettuce and some basic other vegetables. I really would have appreciated a few more options on there. Ended up taking a mix of spinach and lettuce with green bell peppers onions and mushrooms. I got the red wine when they go on top for the dressing and it really had a good flavor. I was happy that the items were still fresh even though it was around 9:00 at night. The Steak came with a choice of potato and vegetables of the day, which was green beans with bacon and butter. We asked to remove the butter from the beans just to avoid the extra fat and also replaced the potato with steamed asparagus. I was genuinely very surprised by the portion size of the vegetables here! I loved it! Most steakhouses give only a small amount of the side vegetables and a big piece of meat but this place did not compromise on the veggies at all! I'm also usually not a fan of green beans but these were cooked so soft and perfect I wanted to have the entire thing myself! We got the tenderloin cooked medium rare (that's how he likes it) and the cook was really on point. I wasn't too big a fan of this because I usually go for a medium but he loved it. My favorite part was the charred outside. Really good flavor. The mushrooms and hollandaise sauce were really beautiful as well! Perfect addition and even so good by themselves.

Such a wonderful experience when visiting Omaha. Have gone on several special family occasions and it never disappoints...always makes great memories and delicious food...can't go wrong with at night at Brother Sebastian's! Every room is a unique experience and vibe...very fun!

Brought a client here on his recommendation and I enjoyed the experience. Quirky building and décor set up like a monastery including servers wearing robes. Don't let the somewhat over the top style bely that the food here is quite good. I ended up getting a queen cut prime rib medium rare (how else?) and it was perfectly prepared along with a side of creamy mashed potatoes. It came with a bit of jus warmed over a candle, neat touch, and it added the right amount of flavor to the very tender steak. Service was very friendly and the prices were great considering the portions.

Very unique setting for a steakhouse. The monastery chanting music was calming and you can hear from the parking lot. The interior is quite dimmed and we were seated immediately in the Binning Cellar room. Their bread was soft and gave generous butter. We ordered king (12 oz for $30) prime rib with sweet potato and beef stroganoff with green beans. Prime rib was tender and flavorful. Beef stroganoff was ok as beef were dry and too chewy for me. A comfort food for me. Good service and would return for future visit!

Usually I would write how good our food and experience was dining at Brother Sebastian's however on September 3, 2024 we went to celebrate our wedding Anniversary. we were seated in the room right next to salad bar and our waitress must of been having a bad night because she barely said anything to us. I ordered chicken cordon bleu and baked potato. when we got our meals my chicken had some sort of sauce on it and sitting on a bed of rice. I thought that's strange never had this with a sauce on top. started to eat and there was no cheese inside ham and the chicken and ham was so dry I took two bites and couldn't eat anymore. Our waitress never came back to our table to see if our food was good. actually she never came back until we flagged her to get our check. she took our plates and never said a word. I'm not one to complain or make a scene so we paid and left. I guess I should have ordered the petite filet. The salad was very good

I thought that there would be monks serving us. I guess that I thought it would be a little weirder than it was. Very tame.

Great idea for a restaurant, poorly executed. Steak - properly cooked/temp, but no seasoning, not a good cut, not large, not tender. Rack of ribs - not falling off the bone, no seasoning, utterly covered in BBQ sauce that was not very good I ordered the garlic butter add-on for my ribeye. What I had in mind was a sizzling steak on a metal plate covered in melted butter. (Think Ruth's Chris) What I got was a steak on a plate that looked like it came from Ryan's buffet with a cup of odd-tasting whipped butter with (?)garlic(?) in it. It overpowered the bland steak rather than complimenting it. As a monk-themed restaurant, you'd expect them to have trappiste beers. They do not. A mix of lackluster beers, half of which are mass produced (Bud, Miller Lite, etc). The service was good. I heard they wore costumes (not the reason we went), but they were really half-hearted attempts. The decor is interesting, but doesn't make up for the below average food. If you want a good steak that is worth the $35 price tag, go to Drovers.
