Lone Star Beer Is Making Hard Seltzer in Texas - Eater Austin

"Omaha chain Flagship Restaurant Group opened a new restaurant, Plank Seafood Provisions, in the Domain as of March 29 for dine-in and takeout services. The restaurant focuses on serving responsibly-sourced seafood and meat through its partnership with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch. There are oysters, grilled seafood, seafood towers, and more, as well as weekend brunch. For now, takeout orders can be called in; the webstore will be launched later this month. The group also operates self-described “Tex-Asian” restaurant and bar Anthem on Rainey Street, and it will expand its Japanese restaurant Blue Sushi Sake Grill into the Domain later this month." - Nadia Chaudhury

Hands down the best Sunday happy hour in town! The fresh oysters are always spot-on, the cocktails are top-notch, and the peel-and-eat shrimp are absolutely fabulous. I love the location — I can mosey in, enjoy some amazing food and drinks, and then head right back out to explore the other local shops nearby. Definitely a regular stop for me!

Plank was delicious and had amazing service and a beautiful atmosphere. We got the lobster bisque, calamari, broiled oysters, crab dip, shrimp tacos, fish sandwich, and the catfish. Literally everything was amazing

I recently visited Plank Provisions in Omaha after receiving a 50% off coupon as part of a promotion showcasing their new menu. Naturally, as a seafood enthusiast, I was all in! I rallied the family for a downtown stroll followed by 5 p.m. reservations. We had a stroller with us, which gave me a bit of anxiety—first time bringing one to a restaurant. I was fully prepared to run it back to the car, but figured I’d ask if they could accommodate it. When we walked in, I politely asked the hostess if there was a place we could stash the stroller. Without so much as a smile, she replied with, “Do you have a reservation?” I said yes, and she responded, “Okay, ‘cause otherwise I was like…” (??) Definitely not the warm welcome you’d expect from a restaurant that wants to be in the elevated dining category. No guidance was given on the stroller, so we ended up folding it in half and tucking it aside, awkwardly. Not a huge deal, but it set a strange tone. Now, the food... We kicked things off with cocktails from the happy hour menu. The Strawberry Surfer was light, fresh, and disappeared fast. My mom thought it was strong—I thought it was perfection. I could’ve had a dozen. For apps, we went a little wild (no regrets): Maryland Crab Dip: Rich, decadent, and came with perfectly cooked focaccia. So good, but definitely a shareable—just a few bites will do. Crispy Rice Cake with Spicy Tuna: Great texture on the rice, though I wanted more heat from the tuna and a punchier sauce. Still a fun bite. Parker House Rolls: We were skeptical at first—they looked burnt—but it turns out that’s part of their flavor profile. Soft, hushpuppy-esque, and absolutely worth it. Cacio e Pepe Caesar Salad: The winner. If you love black pepper, this salad is a must. I’d order it again and again. Calamari: A miss. It was mostly fried crumbles with barely any squid filets. The Mexican-inspired sauce wasn’t my favorite pairing. I’d skip this one. For entrées: Scalloped Orzo: The orzo itself could’ve used more cheese to make it rich and gooey, but the scallops? Absolute perfection. Some of the best I’ve ever had. Walleye with Tapenade: Delicious. The fish was well-cooked, the tapenade added a nice salty bite, and the creamy polenta underneath? Chef’s kiss. Blackened Mississippi Catfish: Great flavor on the catfish, rice was well-seasoned, and the green beans had that ideal al dente crunch. But the crawfish beurre blanc was a letdown—it barely made it on the plate. I’ve seen photos where it's smothered; ours was barely a drizzle. Our server was excellent—great timing with refills, cleared plates quickly, and got us the check right when we needed it. Love that. Despite a rocky start, Plank remains a solid go-to seafood spot in Omaha, with a stylish vibe that works for both casual and special occasions. Grab a bite and enjoy a post-dinner stroll along the riverfront—it’s a winning combo.

Our experience at Plank Provisions Omaha was nothing short of phenomenal! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a vibrant, coastal-inspired atmosphere that immediately set the tone for a great evening. We started with the ceviche, which was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced with citrus and spice. The lobster bisque was rich, velvety, and full of deep flavor—easily one of the best we’ve had. The calamari was light and crispy, with a delicious dipping sauce that added the perfect touch. We also enjoyed a round of fresh oysters, which were incredibly fresh and beautifully served. The highlight of the evening was the shrimp & lobster pasta—a creamy, decadent dish loaded with generous portions of seafood and seasoned to perfection. Beyond the food, the service truly made the night special. David, our server, was outstanding—professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. He gave great recommendations and made sure everything was timed perfectly. We also want to give a big thank you to Brian, the manager, who personally stopped by our table to check on us and make sure our experience was top-notch. You can tell the team here truly cares about their guests. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service shine equally, but Plank Provisions nails it. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just looking for a high-quality dining experience, this spot should be at the top of your list. We’re already looking forward to coming back again soon!

Everything was great. We had ahi tacos and truffle fries to start, butter lettuce salad, and then ahi pasta and crumbed walleye with polenta. Everything tasted great. We enjoyed our cocktails and wine as well. Their kids menu is very family friendly, and comes with veggies, fruit, and fries. Everyone left full and happy. Megan’s service was on point and she hit all of our modifications/requests perfectly.

What a great place, happened to stumble upon this place during happy hour and would highly recommend. The service was outstanding and knowledgeable of the menu items, especially regarding questions about the oysters. There is a lot more to discover in this area but can see myself making my way back should I find myself in Omaha again.

Took advantage of new menu discount offer and was not disappointed, a great change to the menu with some classics. Reservations for 5:30 Saturday and the place was packed but the staff handed well. Grabbed some happy hour oysters and apps. Oysters were presented well and were delicious. Spicy yellowtail was more "fried" than I anticipated, but still very good. Highlight of the apps was the Baja Ceviche, absolutely delicious! The curry clam chowder should be on everyone's list to try. The fusion of flavors works so well together and I can now never go back to regular clam chowder. Scallop risotto and lobster and shrimp pasta Americane were mains. Scallops had a great sear, slightly burnt on one with acrid flavor, but still very good. The pasta was top tier!!! Pasta was thick and cooked to chewy perfection, the chunks of lobster and shrimp were huge and didn't feel cheated at all. Had several cocktails, all delicious, strawberry surfer is a great starter. Finished the night with the menu classic, bread pudding, Bread pudding is my favorite dessert and this one is in my all time top 5! My only complaint was we were offered dessert with the server letting us know they needed our table in 15 minutes for a large party coming in. We were well within our generally accepted 90 min of dinner for 2, absolutely ZERO reason to mar our otherwise outstanding dinner and service because your restaurant did not time the tables correctly.

One of my favorite places to go Drinks are amazing, I haven't had a bad one (the lemon drop martini is the best) I like to go for the happy hour oysters but the fish and chips are SO good I'm always taken care of with water refills and constant check ins from the wait staff Amazing as always

I realize that finding a seafood place in Omaha seems like a bit of an odd quest, but that's what we were in the mood for. I was quite glad we made a reservation because the place filled up pretty quickly though was surprisingly empty when we first arrived. The food was delicious and we tried a variety of things. The beignet style hushpuppies were rather what you might expect from that name, a hushpuppy with a bit of a dessert twist. We also got the spicy tuna roll appetizer and that was also quite good. I should mention we managed to arrive at the tail end of happy hour, and the prices for happy hour are definitely worthwhile. I had the baja fish tacos and fries, because well, fries. That said, the service was definitely subpar, thus one less star. The drinks took a long time to arrive, and when we asked for a wine list between appetizers and meal (twice!) it never arrived. Attempts to get refills on water were also a challenge. It's a nice place, perhaps a bit loud for a quiet meal especially once it gets crowded. I'd give it another chance, because the food was good, but the service really left something to be desired.

OK, I know what you're thinking. A seafood place, in OHAMA? Are you kidding me? No - I most definitely am not. This place knows seafood, and they absolutely kill it every time. I've been here twice now (I live very far from Omaha...) but both times I've been here with coworkers my choice of venues has been met with open skepticism. Until the meal is over, when I gladly accept apologies and dole out a few well earned "I told you so's." Plank has their seafood flown in fresh daily, and it shows. Everything we had there (large group, we tried a LOT of options) was delicious and well prepared. The service was prompt and our server knew the menu and made excellent recommendations. Even though it was pretty busy, our large group had plenty of room (I made a reservation months in advance). The restaurant is in a hip part of downtown and we all enjoyed our meal there. We will be back. Oh yes.

A good seafood place in Omaha! The place wasn't too packed and we got our food pretty quick. The calamari and thai clam chowder was the highlights for me! There's street parking available nearby! Must try in Omaha!

My boyfriend and I were visiting Omaha for the weekend and decided to come here to celebrate our engagement. The restaurant was extremely busy so I'm glad we made a reservation. We liked the vibe and decor. We ordered oysters to start with and they tasted great but we were not told which ones were which. We shared PEI Mussels, shrimp toast, blackened fish tacos, and crab and curry basmati rice. Mussels were sooo tiny and had way too many pork rinds in it. It also had chunks of avocado in it. Not sure if it was meant to be in there. Shrimp toast was way overcooked and so hard. The top layer under the sauce was basically black. Tacos were ok. I really enjoyed the crab rice. It had the perfect flavor but wished the crab meat were bigger and not so minced. We were a little bummed we didn't fully enjoy the food here.

We went to Plank on a whim when we had time to kill before a flight. It has been years since we've been here since we live out west. That was clearly a mistake because it was even better than we remembered. We did a variety of shareable, a couple of drinks, and dessert. The non-alcoholic Palmer was a great way for the driver to still have a cocktail. The Cucumber Collins was light and refreshing sitting on the outdoor patio. We started with the happy hour oysters and they were some of the largest we've had. Loved the little droppers for the mignoette sauce and the hot sauce. Next we had the Tuna Poke, the Smoked Salmon Tartine, and the Fish Dip. Personally the tartine was not to my taste, seemed like dressed up avocado toast, but my husband enjoyed it. And we both really enjoyed the Tuna Poke and Fish Dip. Not full yet we added on the Hush Puppies and these are not to be missed. Often hush Puppies are super dense but not the case with these, and I enjoyed the corn kernels throughout the dough. To finish we took the waiters recommendation to get the banana bread pudding and it was amazing. Served with bruleed bananas on the side, vanilla ice cream and topped with caramel sauce it was the perfect finish.

My husband and I came here for our five year anniversary! The ambience is gorgeous and nautical themed - there isn't a bad seat in the house. On a Thursday evening at 7pm, the restaurant was packed and I was very happy that we had a reservation. We ordered the hushpuppies to start and they were such a star, I would return just for those! They accidentally brought us a golden beet salad as well which was delicious. I have a dairy, nut, and peanut allergy, but they were very accommodating with moving sauces to the side or not adding cheese. I ordered the shrimp diavola and it had the best flavor and kick! I had never had the radiatore pasta shape before and the sauce clung to every part of each pasta. My husband ordered the blackened catfish with the sauce on the side so I could sample it and it was perfectly flaky and delicious. My husband loved the sauce and poured it on as soon as I had taken my few bites. We didn't save any room for dessert, but looking around us, most people ordered oysters, drinks, and dessert on top of their entrees. Definitely come prepared to eat!

1. Food was really good fried shrimp and hush puppies. Both were delicious! The coleslaw was meh. I was sad too because I love coleslaw. 2. Service was okay, he left a lot to be desired. Not very friendly, no smile, had to ask for bill. 3. Ambiance was cool. Nice aesthetic. Forgot pics. I was so hungry! Sorry!!

I really love the atmosphere of Plank. I love how it feels super open and has what looks like the outline of a boat above you. There's also a cute light up sign that has fish that make it look like one is jumping over the water. I was not impressed with my service tonight as I felt my server was not very attentive or personable. I felt like she did the bare minimum honestly. My ahi tuna was good, but I was still hungry after honestly. I don't see myself coming back again sadly. I was really hoping to love it, but I think that it's pretty pricey and my experience was not the greatest.

I have loved Plank since I moved to Omaha a few years ago. However, this time, I left a lil disappointed. Mussels is my favorite thing and they were taken off the menu. I have had them every time at Plank however way they were cooked and they were amazing. This is definitely the main reason of my disappointment since I used to loved them so much. We got an fried calamari appetizer instead and there was way too much batter you could barely taste the calamari. Although, the lemon butter mahi mahi was really really really good! 100% recommend. Walleye was good nothing really especial about it but good. They have also added a sushi bar and which, honestly, if feels a lil out of place since it's not a Japanese restaurant. I much rather have more seafood platter options than that sushi bar, how it used to be before.

The vibes of this place is on point as you feel taken in by the nautical theme. The booths give you enough privacy for your table without feeling too pulled away from the crowd. The service was great and our waiter was super nice. He knew the menu well and made some solid recommendations. I got this fish tacos for the main course. They were good but overall tasted very peppery and the slaw lacked that "kick" to even out the pepper taste. We started with the hush puppies which were my favorite part. They are a must! We ended with the lemon tart which looked great on the plate and overall was a good sweet to citrus flavor, but I was hoping for more here as it lacked dimension.

Enjoyed drinks and chowder at this beautiful restaurant. The service was good. The ambiance was nice. The drinks were pricey but strong. The waiter helped me decide on the seafoam margarita. I loved it. It was well balanced and so tasty that I wanted a pitcher of them. My only critique is that the glass had so much ice, it really wasn't worth the price. If it had been filled with half as much ice so I got more liquor, it would have been worth it. So my next drink was the same as my hubby--the Killer Whale. Wow, that drink was fabulous! I'd have that again (and again). It's a different interpretation of a Long Island ice tea. It was delicious. The Thai clam chowder was very good! It had a tiny kick of heat with excellent flavor. We left happy!

Starting with the expresso martini, it was very decadent but balanced in taste, even went back a 2nd night just for the drink! The calamari was tasty and presented well. The. The salmon I was able to blackened which made the dish 10x better, lol, the spiced black rice was not too bad just an aquired taste due to the texture for me l, but overall delicious. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was great.

I was visiting here from Wisconsin. I made a reservation a month in advance. It was so amazing of one of the managers to call and advise me that they weren't having their patio open but they had a table set up inside for me. After we sat down our server came over right away and got us drinks. Let me tell you YOU MUST ORDER THE HUSHPUPPIES with jalapeño jam. They were the best things my taste buds have ever had the pleasure of tasting. My fish tacos were even more amazing. I would drive from WI TO NE just to eat these. The catfish was a very good portion and tasty as well. Our server (TOM) was so kind and actually took time to conversation with us. Lastly, the parking here is limited and you have to pay for parking 9 am to 9 pm. Try to get to the restaurant early so you can find parking and pay so you aren't rushing!

I ordered the snapper ceviche which was pretty busty. It was a bit smaller than I was expecting but it was still very good. I also usually despise avocado, but the avocado served in this dish had great texture and was a great supporting ingredient. I definitely order this again and you should too. Service was great. I had the embodiment of a pure extrovert for a server and she did a great job. Food was served quite quickly which was nice and the wait staff was polite and helpful. The ambiance was my favorite part of the entire restaurant. There was so much decor but it didn't make the place feel cramped or congested. I was kind of bummed because I chose a seat that didn't look inward more at all of the indoor ambiance. Bathrooms were pretty clean and taken care of. There was a chill dude who left the sink on for me when I finished peeing. I had a great time here and you should too. I would come back 100%

We went for lunch with the little ones. The decor inside is clean, fresh, and is on theme for a seafood restaurant. We ordered: 1. Brussel sprouts - these were seasoned well and had a great texture. (4.5/5 ) 2. Beignet style hush puppies - this was a unique elevated take on this classic seafood side. We enjoyed the flavors and textures. (5/5 ) 3. Thai clam chowder - fresh quality ingredients, with a side of heat . Each bite added to the slow burn on this dish. Overall, it was pretty good, and we enjoyed the innovative flavors on this classic. (4/5 ) 4. Caesar salad with grilled chicken - this was probably one of my favorite salads to date. The chicken was prepared perfectly and had great flavors. (7/5 ) 5. Jalapeño salmon burger - overall good flavors, wasn't my cup of tea, but the SO enjoyed it. (4/5 ) 6. Fried snapper sandwich - solid sandwich with good fries. The person who ordered said it needed a little more salt but still tasty. (4.5/5 ) 7. Kids meal - cute presentation and had great side options. Our service was great and I would return if in the area to try some additional dishes.

Plank is consistent considering all the change on this corner. Huge windows and great staff make it a go to place for us. And the seafood is great. Ironically the blackened catfish is my favorite, but it's tough to go wrong here. The space is modern/nautical (sounds wrong, but that's what it is).

First time visitors Great spot for group celebration date night Street parking or meter parking Indoor and outdoor dining Plenty of seafood choices / fresh / raw / cooked Different seafood tower options to choose from! The service was decent nothing to outstanding Reservations probably is recommended but walk in are good too! Broccolini and Mac n cheese tasty sides - cook to order and can easily be shared The cerviche mussels were a pleasant surprise! Unexpected flavors and served chilled The salmon was delicate and the shrimp was plump Plenty of sauces to choose from to try individually or mixed together Certainly a place to return to when visiting Nebraska again!

Truthfully, didn't love the food. I really wanted to based on the reviews but was turned off by the fact I bit into a bone in the dip during our appetizer. The oysters he said were nothing to write home about and wish we could have ordered a half pound versus having to order one at a time. And the ceviche was okay but just not worth the price, and got slightly spicy. The service was fine. Our waiter was sweet and she was trying, you could tell she'd been trained to try and make small talk with her tables. It was an average level of business for a Wednesday early evening. We walked in and were able to get a table but again, it's just not a place I would go back to spend my money when there's better restaurants in the area.

If I could give this restaurant a 10 star review I would. Everything here was phenomenal! Reservation was easy to make and ready upon arrival (we were even early!) The service was excellent. Our server made sure we were taken care of, but not rushed. Checked in an appropriate amount of times to where it didn't feel overbearing. We started with oysters and those I went with got a round of drinks. The drinks were heavily praised (two old fashions and a flute of rosé). I had never had oysters and I am glad this was my first experience. They were served with optional sides of horseradish, hot sauce, a slice of lemon, and another oil. Our entrees were DELICIOUS! Everything was well put together and seasoned perfectly. The ranch (if you're a true midwesterner and care) was to die for. They accommodated my meal even though an annoying ask (beef patty instead of salmon). Then, when kitchen ran out of ingredients compensated my meal! Did not ask for this, but was gravely appreciated! The place itself is very lovely and lively. All plants are real and well kept. The music is upbeat and fun!

Seafood in the middle of the country? Sure thing, if not spectacular, very solid. Passing thru town and wound up in the Old Market area and wanted to dine outside on a gorgeous night. A large appetizer selection sported some interesting options, particularly their raw towers. We opted in for the smoked fish dip, which features 3 kinds if fish. It was fine, but lacked real flavor, even with the everything bagel topping. A tastier option were the Beignet Hush Puppies. Served with a Jalapeño Jelly. The Jelly was good, but needed a bit more of the Jalapeño. Our entree was the Blackened catfish. Served as a 1/2 filet if the fish, on top of French cut green beans. The Dish sported an ample amount of Crawfish and made a bit too much sauce. Great service by Emily made the visit enjoyable!

I took my son here when my husband was sick. I had no clue where to go downtown, as we were going to the Star Wars Symphony. They have a huge kids meal, which was very fun. All day happy hour Sunday. I had a small plate appetizer and a glass of wine. Service was quick and we were able to avoid the Berkshire crew that day. decent sized patio for the spring and summer. Will be back again!

4:30 on a Friday afternoon after a great day at the zoo. Went to Plank and they said they were fully booked and could not seat us. Only a couple of tables were occupied. Walked by an hour later after spending our money at Blue Sushi (who graciously seated us) and many tables were still empty. Plank obviously lied. C'mon you're a restaurant in Omaha for cripes sake. You can't afford to be pretentious. Won't ever go back and will tell anyone who'll listen to avoid Plank. Also there are an additional four full pages of one star revues for this place that for some reason are not counted in their rating. Looks like Yelp must be getting a little extra revenue to make Plank look better than it is.

Looking for a nautical seafood place where casual meetings fine dining? Plank is where you'll find it! This place is a long time favorite that sits in the heart of the old market. It's got a corner spot that's perfect for people watching if you get a window seat. The staff is friendly and efficient. It was busy this Valentine's Day evening, but our waiter always snuck by to clear our table and the food was prepared surprisingly fast and to perfection. I started out with a strawberry surfer for my cocktail, which was a bit too sour for my taste. Nonetheless, it was presented adorably with a pop of pink. The calamari was delicious topped with pickled onions and slivered radishes. The aoli was a perfect pairing. The iced oysters tasted fresh and was served with dropper bottles of red wine vinegar and hot sauce, which added an adorable touch for precise measurement. We made it just in time for all of these to be on happy hour, which ended at 6 PM. Golden beets were a perfect medley of flavor paired with grapefruit slices, goat cheese, dill, and fried quinoa. It was a fresh break in between courses. The star of the show was the sea scallops that were cooked and browned perfectly. Squid ink linguine and the carrot ginger sauce added to the scallops made this dish a buttery heaven. Finally to finish off the meal, we had the butterscotch budino. This dish was surprisingly the perfect ending to our meal. It was smooth and hit the sweet tooth right on the sweet spot. The rosemary shortbread cookies paired well to cut down the sweetness of the custard and caramel. Overall, the meal was perfect and did not disappoint. This is a perfect spot for a casual lunch or a dressy date night. The service and food was top notch.

This is one of my favorite seafood places. The oysters there are to die for which is odd since it's a landlocked state. I met one of the managers there and she was the sweetest. Always remembered us and was very kind. They changed their menu while I was there and we still kept going because the food was still 10/10. It's def a cute casual date spot as well.

Plank is one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha. I absolutely enjoy every experience there from the delicious food to the wonderful ambiance. I love their happy hour! The menu was recently updated with some great additions and changes. Most recently, we tried the salmon crudo, had a dozen oysters and the blackened fish tacos- all 5/5 absolutely delicious. This place is definitely our favorite place for oysters. The service is also amazing and that consistently has been our experience over the years. We can't wait to go back to try some more things on the menu!

Been to Omaha a few times within a year, and the first 2 times I didn't really see many restaurant options available. This time around, while staying in the Old Market area, a bunch of options came up. One might get a little skeptical with a seafood place in a landlocked town. But, I decided to give it a shot. I ordered several items that you don't normally see on menus. The first was a thai curry clam chowder. Yes, you read that right. With it being something unique, I had to give it a shot. And it did not disappoint. One might think that curry and chowder don't mix. But this was really good. And it had a bit of a kick. Highly recommend. For my main, I went with the salmon burger. Don't see too many of this item in restaurants. This was unique, as well, with a tempura jalapeno and some cream cheese. The salmon was cook perfectly, but the tempura jap could have been cooked a little longer. The flavor of the cream cheese added a nice touch. Good choices all around.

My wife and I love this place. This is the 3rd time we have dined here and I've tried a few different things and they have all been great. The restaurant is clean, the staff is fantastic, and the food is delicious. This trip was to celebrate our wedding anniversary and they gave us a free champagne as a treat, wasn't expecting that!

We came in on a Saturday for happy hour and were seated right away. We heard this place had some of the best seafood in town. The atmosphere was trendy, beachy, a bit upscale. The service was great overall. Happy hour deals seemed pretty reasonable. - Strawberry surfer (4/5): a bit sweet but very refreshing, good flavor - Oyster shot (4/5): sour and spicy, super yummy with the oyster - Clam chowder (5/5): WOW! So yummy. The chowder was perfectly seasoned, perfect flavor. Love the crunchy bacon - Calamari (3/5): pretty good but not amazing. Breading was a bit thick, but good with the marinara sauce. Didn't taste the most fresh - Oysters (4.5/5): these tasted fresh! Loved the variety of oysters. We got the walk the plank to try different types. All of them had a unique, distinct taste. My favorite was very tender, with mild brine. A bit pricey but would recommend!

I really enjoyed the pasta! And their ceviche is the best thing I've ever eaten (and I forgot to take a picture)

It's my first time in Nebraska (visiting from Los Angeles) and was so impressed with the quality of food and exceptional service (thank you Jen, Ryan and Nathan)! The owner, Anthony Hitchcock, was so incredibly gracious and made the experience that much better. Highly, highly recommend !!!!

We enjoyed a nice evening at Plank. We had reservations and the staff was able to accommodate us when we arrived a little early. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining. Parking can sometimes be a little tight in the downtown area but there is a nearby parking garage that offers a lower cost option to on street parking meter rates. The restaurant has a very open and modern vibe. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is very friendly. We were able to get in just before the end of happy hour and enjoyed a great perk of 25% off on a bottle of wine. A number of the appetizer favorites are also offered at a nice discount for happy hour times. The dishes offered generous portions and were nicely flavored. The clam chowder was not very hot and had quite a bit of oil and potatoes (not too many clams) , the Calamari was a little chewy/overdone and the walleye perhaps just a tad too much breading. The cost per plate Felt a little high for the quality of food and may just be a sign of the times. I would recommend that you try checking out this location during happy hours when prices are a little bit more palatable. I Will try giving them another chance.

A nice Sunday afternoon outing to PLANK. Delicious meal with exciting new spices with a kick. Opened up with the hushpuppies warm from the oven. Love to try clam chowder from all over, so of course, I tried theirs. The twist of Thai chowder was a nice change. Oyster platter offered, sweet sauce, horseradish (wowza!!) and lemon to taste. Pleasant, prompt service and casual atmosphere to enjoy your meal. Nice bar service and separate sit-down dining room. Crazy, I know, but I love the decor especially the restroom! Nautical themed, classy, clean and trendy! Walking distance to parking and other bars & restaurants. Great eats!!

Extraordinary fresh seafood for the middle of America. I would go here simply for the Thai clam chowder. One of the best clam chowders I have ever eaten. Rich flavor and well balanced with a Thai slant to it. The fish tacos were fresh and tasty. The service is on point. Wonderful staff that is super helpful! Lovely modern and inviting interior. Only knock a star off because I went in The afternoon and they were out of menu dishes. Now this is a hard thing because it lets me know they only use fresh ingredients and when out they just stop serving it. So that's great! But it also means inventory management could improve. Still definitely try this place!

Very fresh seafood considering Omaha is a landlocked city. They get their oysters imported directly from Massachusetts! If you're craving seafood, this is definitely the place to go to in the city. It is not the best seafood place ever, but considering it is in Omaha, it is pretty dang tasty! This place has a fantastic happy hour menu & deals! I definitely recommend going then or at night for a date night. My friend I got their strawberry surfers and they were super strong haha! But definitely worth the $7! For food we split a half dozen oysters, potato crusted calamari ($14), and chowder fries ($13). My personal favorite were the chowder fries. Super crispy, salty and flavorful. I've definitely had better calamari so I was a little disappointed in those. I couldn't even taste the squid, just the breading. This was my first time ever trying oysters and they were super good! My friend is from Boston and enjoyed them too. She said they weren't the best oysters she's ever had, but they hit the craving. The ambiance and our server were equally great. I loved the vibes of the place and the service we got was excellent.
