"At Salted Edge, chef Joel Hassanali is expressing his culinary vision on the edge of the city, over by West Shores Lake. The chef, who is from Trinidad, brings a subtle Carribean bent to many of the dishes, like the Trini spiced mahi mahi with black rice, asparagus, shishito peppers, grilled pineapple salsa, and spiced cream sauce. The popular bread board pairs four house-made selections with a special compound butter. Lakeside patio drinks are popular during the summer months." - Sarah Baker Hansen

Andrea was our server and it was our first time here and the food and drinks were really good and absolutely loved the view of the water and sunset. Andrea was super nice and told us all about the chefs background etc. Loved her and we will be bringing our foodie friends here with us next time. You need to try this place everyone!!! The Bread board with the variety of breads and butters was even better than we expected. I’ve been all over as we are big foodies and we travel a lot so happy we found this place. We’re gonna try happy hour next time. ❤️🤍💙

I had my birthday dinner at Salted Edge and it was truly special. Food was amazing, we had the bison filet and the ribeye with the charred broccolini. The steaks were a little over, but I didn’t mind as it was still so tender and flavorful. Our waitress was especially attentive and warm. I had the Jam it in a Smash cocktail, which I thought was great!! The birthday dessert was okay though, I personally didn’t care for the cake as it was on the dry side. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and look forward to coming back for more!

This is my first time here. One of my girlfriends took me here for a hangout, and it was absolutely amazing. If you come here for dinner, you need to make a reservation, but we seat at the bar area. We ordered a couple of appetizers. It's delicious 😋 I am planning to come back here again for dinner.

We visited Salted Edge for a special occasion and while our main server was attentive and professional, the overall experience left us feeling a bit unsettled. One of the food runners consistently directed communication solely toward me, noticeably ignoring my partner. As an interracial couple, we have unfortunately encountered moments like this before and it is always disappointing when it feels like inclusivity is not prioritized. The food was presented nicely but fell a bit flat flavor wise. For the price point, over 100 dollars per person, we expected something more memorable in both taste and atmosphere. The setting is beautiful and the concept has potential, but our experience did not quite match the level of hospitality or culinary depth we were hoping for.

NOT what we expected from Waterloo! Excellent vibes, excellent service, excellent food. Are you sensing a theme, here?! We enjoyed every dish, but the highlights were the Brussels sprouts and (surprisingly) the mushroom truffle pizza! A must-have for coal-fired pizza fans that's reason enough for me to come back.

Went here for my birthday dinner and would definitely recommend! The waitress gave us a little history about the restaurant and the chef when we first sat down. I thought that was very cool to learn about where the flavors were inspired from. The menu had a variety of uniquely flavored dishes from seafood to steak to pizza. The bread board they recommended to us is probably the only time I'll ever order bread as an appetizer at a restaurant. They popovers were everybody's favorite and the different butters were fun to try. I highly recommend their pizza. The crust is chewy and soft and it's the best pizza I've had in a long time. Their burger and lobster Mac and cheese were also very delicious. I had the short rib and it was so tender. After dinner, they brought out a birthday dessert which were 3 mini donuts and vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. It was delicious! I'm always a fan of restaurants that have birthday desserts... it made me feel very special! Overall, the quality of food was superb here. I highly recommend.

My food was hands down a 5, my fiancée said a four for his-he wasn't blown away. The loudness and lack of cozy getaway tables in the environment doesn't quite suit the food quality. They might benefit by adding some acoustical tiles under the table tops. I've seen this work marvelously. That said, for french onion soup made with braised short ribs that's the second best I've had in my life (and I've eaten a ridiculous amount looking for the best), I'll just have to deal with it. Maybe we'll find out when they are the slowest and plan around that. I also had the scallops, he had the steak frites. Great old fashion. We will be back.

The place is just beautiful! Reserved dinner time around sunset because the views are just magnificent being by the lake. The food was also wonderful, as well as the server. Received some complimentary champagne since it was our anniversary. Bread board was filling and the butter pairing was just so good. Steak was cookies medium and was perfect, even took some leftovers home and still was amazing the next day! Braised short rib was soft and also delicious! The jalapeño potato cake on the bottom was crisp with each bite. Lobster Mac + cheese, well you really do get a taste of lobster and it's not too cheesy or oily imo!

I went to Salted Edge for my 22nd birthday! They gave me a card with happy birthday written on it and free donuts at the end (totally forgot to take photo) :( Our waiter was so sweet and they give you warm towels before you eat which I think is awesome. I got the lobster mac and cheese and it was delicious! I also ate a slider and loved it as well. The brussels sprouts were good, and my family loved the food! Salted Edge also has the coolest view of West Shores and is such a cute picture spot if you want a sunset or lake background!

I finally made it to salted edge after all those reviews and people non stop talking about it and it didn't disappoint! Starting with the service, this was top-notch, everyone was super helpful and professional. We always had someone come and check on us every 10 minutes. The ambiance is great, you can come here for a date night but also to catch up with a friend. The food was very good. Not in pictures but I also had the wagu pasta and it was to die for, my only complain about the pasta was that the portion felt too small. As for the salad, this was probably one of the best salad I have had in a while and this had enough to share between 3 people as an appetizer.

Came here for brunch and I thought it was pretty good! The place looks really nice when you walk in. Spacious and beautiful. The server was really nice and helped out our big table with everything we needed. The food was good as well. Absolutely loved the waffles and chicken with the bacon. The shared bread platter was nice as well.

and they done it again! Of course any occasion we will find an excuse to spend it at Salted Edge not only because of how bomb the food is but the experience of being wined and dined truly makes you feel special. The only issue i have with this place is that I can't eat everything on the menu. Might have to keep finding little reasons to celebrate... like surviving Mondays lol. Cannot recommend this place enough!

I was very excited to come here. Food and drinks were presented well, visually only . The establishment was a bit hard to find; I hope they invest in a clear sign, especially for the visually impaired. Very pretty location. My biggest complaint was the service. The server was cold and unwelcoming. Cleared EVERY plate before I was finished and rushed off. I even noted to her I was not done and before I could grab my plate back she rushed off with it. Very weird experience and a waste of money since I wasn't able to enjoy my meal. Food was sub par and underwhelming from what I did try. Waste of time and money.

A beautiful venue to enjoy some great food. My wife and I had a reservation on a Friday night. We walked in about 15 early and were seated immediately. The restaurant is beautiful and lively, but not so loud that we couldn't have a nice conversation. Service was prompt and friendly, without being overbearing or bothersome. Our food came out perfectly prepared and very tasty. The heirloom tomatoes and burrata appetizer really stole the show! My wife enjoyed the mahi-mahi on a bed of black rice, while I tested the burger. My only negative critique of the evening is that my burger patty could have used a bit more seasoning. My wife and I each enjoyed a few of their house specialty cocktails. The brown butter old-fashioned was very tasty and perfectly balanced, but definitely on the more expensive side for a cocktail in Nebraska. We will definitely be back.

Overall really enjoyed my meal. Restaurant is stunning with excellent lake views in the west shore neighborhood. Bread board is an absolute must. Really creative flavor combinations with accompanying butter varieties. We did the short ribs and charred broccolini for dinner. Broccolini was a bit of a miss...seemed a bit undercooked and not really charred. Loved the jalapeño potato cake that came under the short rib. Entree was this overall really tasty and short ribs very tender. Brown butter old fashioned ($20 each ) was outstanding. Price point is high but you are getting a high quality meal in a beautiful setting. I recommend putting on your list.

Brunch bread board! I love alliteration and I love amazing food and I love Salted Edge. It's a pretty significant jaunt from my Dundee neighborhood but WORTH THE DRIVE. I enjoyed every little tidbit and it was also surprisingly kid friendly. Looking forward to going back for other meals and maybe some special occasion events!

Was so excited to finally try Salted Edge. We made reservations for our anniversary and had a great experience. I ordered the martini flight, which was so fun, even came with donut hole garnishes. Their version of the espresso martini was my favorite. We ordered the famous bread board for an appetizer and I would highly recommend ordering this at least once. The butter and bread were all so unique and was such a fun tasting experience. For my entrée, I did a surf and turf and thoroughly enjoyed both the lobster and the steak. It was also beautifully plated. We were definitely too full for dessert, but the staff brought out a champagne toast for our anniversary. I appreciated all of the personal touches.

I had extremely high hopes for Salted Edge and maybe I'm being more critical because of it. The 4 of us ordered 4 starters, 3 entrees, a handful of drinks and the dessert cocktail flight. Highlights were the Brussels sprouts (amazing) and burrata. The mushroom tartine had more goat cheese flavor than mushroom (the mushrooms had nearly no taste) and the deviled eggs were good but nothing super mind blowing (I actually keep forgetting we had them). My burger had good flavor (in my opinion, but another member of my party really didn't like the flavor of the meat) but the patty was way too thick for my tastes. I could only eat half of the burger and I think the flavors would have been more balanced with a thinner patty. I got to try the lobster tortellini and it was nothing like I expected. It had a very strong taste of lemon zest in the tortellini. I know it has a citrus sauce but the flavor of the lemon was overpowering. The cauliflower steak looked good but I didn't try it. The dessert cocktail flight looked gorgeous but the donuts were dry and the drinks were good but not phenomenal. I preferred the espresso one the most. The restaurant is gorgeous and the staff was awesome. Our waitress Cameron was excellent and we were greeted and treated well by everyone. I'll be back at least once (I forgot to use my loyalty discount) and will get the Brussels sprouts and burrata again for sure.

Have been hearing the buzz about this place for the last couple of months so had to check it out. We were not disappointed and will be back. Absolutely beautiful restaurant right on the water. We started with cocktails and oysters. I'm always hesitant to get oysters in Nebraska but this were wonderful, probably the best I've had in Omaha. Next we had to try the deviled eggs with shrimp. A fun twist on a classic. Our mains were the scallops and the short rib. Two completely different meals but both were amazing. We closed with butter cake and cappuccino, the perfect end to a great meal.

Everything we ate was really good. Probably one of the best restaurants in Omaha area. The restaurant was larger than I expected, it has a nice view of the water and even has some outdoor seating. We went with a group and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. My favorite things were the Mahi Mahi, the bone in ribeye, and the potatoes. I probably would not get the beet salad again, but it was good. Although I didn't try it, the table agreed the potatoes were the best side and they would get 2 of those instead of the lobster Mac next time. We got drinks at the bar when we walked in and the bartender really took his time in making a beautiful and tasty drink. He was very knowledgeable about all the drinks and seemed to be in charge of making a lot of the items that were made in house. I got the Every Second Counts cocktail. It was really good! Would get that on a return trip as well. The only negative thing that happened was that our friends at the table ordered a glass of wine recommended by our waiter and when they got the bill, we were surprised to see it was $70 a glass. After talking with the manager, they were able to get half of the charge removed, but it was a real shock when we hadn't been told the price and the highest priced wine on the menu was around $20 a glass. Hopefully that's not something others are experiencing, but I would recommend asking the price on a special or recommendation if you aren't told up front.

My friend and I finally got to try Salted Edge for her belated birthday dinner. We tried a little bit of everything, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is quite lovely, right on the water. The highlights for me were the Jam it In Smash cocktail (tequila, berry jam, and lime) and the bread board! We also tried the deviled eggs, bison sliders, and some oysters! Our server was friendly and helpful navigating the menu for the first time. I will definitely return for a special occassion dinner!

I'm not sure if I was starving, or just so excited to be at Salted Edge for dinner that I didn't take many pictures, but believe me -- there were many delights! We arrived 20 minutes early for our reservation (and you absolutely should make a weekend reservation at least two weeks in advance), so we were seated at the bar while we waited. It was in the bar I got my first shudder that this might be a very expensive evening -- cocktails at $19. I guess I don't do fine dining enough? That said, all drinks were strong, fun and very tasty: a berry shrub, a chocolate martini and a browned butter manhattan. Called to dinner, we started with a charcuterie tray. Our wonderful server, Jeff, inquired for me about the possibility of goat cheese on the board (which is not a favorite). We were free and clear and subsequently loved every bite! One thing I'd improve on would be to add at least two more slices of the fantastic garlicky crostini. The salami was yummy, the gouda a smoky delight, and the olives, salty and addictive. The Caesar salad seemed simple enough -- whole leaves of endive, tomatoes, crouton crumbles, and a just right amount of dressing. Sooo good! Entrees included the Bison Bolognese, the Lobster Tortellini and the Scallops. For me, though all dishes were delicious, the star of the evening was the Scallops on Farro. I shared the dish with a friend, because as amazing and tantalizing as scallops can be, four large is just too much for me. Two was perfect. The other two dishes were enjoyed by the party with assurances they would order each again. Because it was a birthday celebration, we had desserts that ranged from a simple circle of caked topped with ice cream and berries to a mango topped key lime cheesecake to a bourbon infused cake. While all were delish, I thought the simplest was best. I love tart offerings, but that mango really made my mouth pucker. The bourbon cake tasted like something between a biscuit and cornbread. Nice, but not to die for. Overall, worth every penny and I'd love to visit again. Dress code is not at all fancy, though you'd be comfortable if you dressed up for your occasion. I dont see this as a child-friendly establishment, though everyone I encountered was lovely. The only drawback here is the noise. Sadly, it's difficult to have a conversation in a high-ceilinged, glass and metal box, so, sit close to whomever you hope to chat with!

On the whole, I had a good experience at Salted Edge. They get an extra star for the location. It wasn't that far outside of Omaha and the restaurant is lovely. It is modern but warm and inviting. Just a beautiful space. Loved the small little lounges outside near the water's edge. I could see coming back in the summer or late fall with the fire places. Our server seemed new. She was trying hard to remember the menu when we asked several detailed questions. She did have to check with the kitchen a number of times but she was friendly and delivered items promptly. There are two mocktails on the beverage menu. It's nice to have nonalcoholic drinks that aren't soda. However, they were out of some of the ingredients for the Free Willy I wanted to try. The other beverage was good, but not what I had my heart set on. The drink I did get had pieces of herb, I think, tarragon, cut finely enough that they came up through the straw. And there were quite a few of them. Cutting them bigger would have been a nicer drinking experience. As others have said, the bread board is the highlight of the menu. Lots of creativity with the different types of bread as well as the spreads. I think my favorite was the orange rosemary biscuit...nice glazed top and fluffy in the middle. If I'm being picky, the "smoked" butter really just tasted salty. I didn't get any smoke. A couple of the flavor combinations of spreads and their intended bread was a little much, so proceed with caution. The one item I really didn't care for was the goat cheese topping along with the lavender and the cornbread. Just too many competing flavors. But on the whole, the baked items were well executed. And what a unique sharing board! A lot of their menu items were good, but not perfect. For example, the lobster bisque was decent, but not great. I enjoyed the tableside soup pour, but the pieces of lobster were small. I also wanted the bisque to be creamier. I expected the frites to be hand-cut but they came out not very warm, and I think they're fried from frozen potatoes. I was disappointed by the short ribs. I thought the meat had good beefy flavor, but the texture was a little stringy, more along the lines of a pot roast than what I would expect from a short rib. Whew! I could say more, but hopefully you get the gist. Some hits and misses, but lots of good things going on here.

Immaculate is an understatement. From the atmosphere, to the staff, to the food, it was all incredible! Although it was all delicious, the Brown Butter Bourbon Crème Brûlée, Scallops and Risotto from the shrimp dish were true standouts. Chef Joel has curated a menu that encompasses a wide range of options that make it possible for everyone to find something they enjoy! The staff went above and beyond! I prefer a sweet wine (mainly moscato) and our waiter helped to find me a sweet white that was absolutely delightful with my scallops. And to top it all off, after being nervous about an 8:15 seating (a bit late for us) as we walked out we were offered a box of leftover donuts from Sugared Ledge. Absolutely made my husband's night! And with a quick pop in the microwave the next morning they were as good as fresh!

Great place!! I thought it was just going to be super bougie and maybe a little uptight, but it was great. Waiter gave us a rundown on why it's there and it started as a place for people to be able to be on the lake and come in for a great meal. It was a laidback and relaxing atmosphere. My husband and I went for my birthday and they had a little birthday card for me. So sweet! Food was great and reasonably priced. Not a cheap date but great spot go and enjoy the lake and great food.

We went for Social Hour on a Wednesday and were pleasantly surprised to get a nice high top by the bar. Our server Mike was very good. Made some delicious cocktails, especially my Whiskey Sour. Probably the best one I have ever tasted. The deviled eggs were very pedestrian, very little flavor for $3 a piece. The braised short rib fried balls were mushy, not much meat. The pizzas, we had a mushroom and a sausage, were okay. Not at all like the quality pies at other places here in Omaha. Truffle fries were good, think they were the frozen kind, but we enjoyed them. The pork belly sliders! These and my cocktail will bring me back for sure. They were delicious. Cool build out, great service and fun vibe (meaning very loud) so we will be back for social hour for sure but want to sit outside next time.

This is it! There is no reason to look for any other place when it comes to a guaranteed good time, friendly staff and amazing food. My wife and I went there to celebrate our anniversary and let me tell you that we were so impressed not only by the food but the attention to detail. As soon as we walked in and let them know what name of our reservation was they told us happy anniversary. This detail mattered to us not because they probably knew based on the reason we gave for our reservation but because they cared enough to have a signed card from everyone who worked at the restaurant wishing us a happy anniversary. It was a nice touch and a memorable one. The staff were so friendly and cared a lot about our experience. Our waitress was funny, attentive and checked on us frequently. I keep thinking about the food we ordered and how good it was, about amazing service they and how they paid attention to everything. It made me realize how important good customer service and the experience is. It is something that you don't realize until you get a taste of how good it can be. I can't wait to go back and eat there again.

Two words: Blown away. Four more words: You must eat here. My husband and I decided to have our 4th year wedding anniversary after hearing about this new "waterfront" (as waterfront as you can be in Nebraska) spot in Waterloo. If you want to stop reading here I'll say this THEY DID NOT MISS. From the initial greeting from the team, the servers, and service in this restaurant was top of the line. We put in our Open Table reservation that it was our anniversary and they presented us with a card that all their waitstaff signed and each of our main servers wished us a happy anniversary all night. This was paired with complimentary champagne. Our drinks were the preachers daughter and the jam it in smash. Both excellent and the champagne was slightly sweet and crisp. Our appetizer was the charred pineapple wings. Yal these wings were better than most places who have them as their specialty. They were all equally sized, charred, well seasoned, and honestly could have been an entree themselves. For our entrees, my husband ordered their burger and I ordered the chicken. The portions at this place are out of this world and make the price absolutely worth what you spend. Every element is really carefully crafted and in the dining room there is carefree atmosphere. The Salted Edge is well staffed and their team seems happy. Our server was joking with us and was so friendly the entire night. For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée apple crumble. We did everything but lick the bowl clean. The flavors were incredible and not too sweet. They toasted the meringue on the plate and it made you savor each bite. We received our drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts all within 1 hour and 15 minutes. We were shocked especially with how new the restaurant is. You have to try the Salted Edge. From the food, to the service, and the atmosphere I think we've found our new favorite place. Every detail screams that they care about you, your experience, and that when you're with them you're like family. Oh, did I mention that the chef is a Black man? I love it! We'll be back!

This is my second Salted Edge review, because I just got to try their new brunch offerings. As always, the food was impeccable. We got a bread board for the table, which I would absolutely recommend. Our hostess was so helpful in substituting one of the breads for a gluten free donut from Sugared Ledge next door to accommodate one of our group that is gf. The savory was delicious and the sweet melted in my mouth. For my main course I got Amanda's Beni and it was fantastic. The crab cakes were large and delicious, and I love that it was served on pieces of grilled baguette instead of an English muffin. If you're a brunch person you absolutely need to go to Salted Edge!

We enjoyed our visit to this distant restaurant. It's an attractive location. It's waterside at West Shores Lake, with an attractive view facing west. Seating indoors and waterside, weather permitting. The service is plentiful and cheerful. They happily sat us outside due to being already booked indoors. We managed to get back inside due to chill winds. They were very accommodating. The food was delicious. We had a charcuterie plate to start. It was a delicious blend of cheese, meats and fruits. For dinner, we split the chicken dish. It was plentiful and succulent. Overall we would return.

Back at Salted edge last night. Friend from England is in town so 5 of us went for dinner. Once again absolutely amazing ! Everything we had was perfectly cooked and prepared. The mushroom + truffle pizza was a huge hit. So delicious ! Ned time I am coming for just pizza I think. I had the steak and frites. Perfectly cooked medium rare. So much flavor. Loved it! We shared the bourbon cake for dessert. Could have crushed that by myself. Love this restaurant!

Food was above and beyond! Austin offered wonderful info and suggestions for wine and dinner. Ambiance was good but I had asked to sit closer to "the view" (and it was a beautiful sunset") and was told all seats were reserved so we were seated up front. Seats remained empty as we were there early. I let Austin how disappointed we were and he let management know. They immediately apologized. We will go again and bring friends. Appreciated their genuine concern. Try the SCALLOP RISOTTO - Heaven on earth! YES, Chef!!

Salted Edge has been on my radar for quite some time. I highly advise making a reservation or arriving early to secure a spot. My husband and I decided to drop by around 5 with the intention of grabbing a quick bite at the bar. However, the bar was completely full and with the outdoor seating feeling a bit too chilly, we were relieved when our server offered us seats at the chef's table. Despite the table being reserved for another party later in the evening, the staff graciously accommodated us. We made sure to show our gratitude by tipping generously for their flexibility. The cocktails and food were exceptional. We shared the plum chicken, and it was perfect. As we sat at the chef's table, we got a close-up view of the kitchen in action. It was evident that each dish was meticulously crafted with care - every detail attended to. It's definitely a spot we'll be returning to.

Salted Edge is absolutely wonderful. It was on my Omaha "to try" bucket list and it lived up to my expectations. The Bread Board is a must for all bread lovers. I got the braised short rib and it was the best I've ever had - so tender and flavorful and the potato cake underneath was the best compliment. the other entrees we got were just as good though! The lobster mac ACTUALLY had decent-sized lobster chunks too! score! The drink selection was great and the atmosphere was modern and nice dim lighting for the evening. Our service was nice too! The parking lot is a slight jaunt away from the entrance but still easily accessible. I definitely recommend and will be back to try the whole menu (especially that HUGE chicken entree)!

We had a yummy & lovely time! But dang was it expensive, and we usually don't care what a meal costs! it was all really good and like nothing I've ever had before, shrimp on a deviled egg, who would have thought, but that was my favorite item we ordered. My husband's favorite item we ordered was the Bread Board, specifically the Corn Bread! My favorite was all the specific butters for each bread, wow they really thought that entire board through with all the little details. Service was top notch. They were always there refilling waters, checking in, and asking if we needed anymore drinks and food orders! Bringing new silverware for each dish, running down the drink & food menu since it was our first time, she explained the restaurant and the chef and his background, which was really cool to get that knowledge! The building is updated, modern, beautiful space, love the indoor and outdoor seating, love that parking is close, and plenty of it! We did have 6:15pm reservations, showed up at 6pm and table wasn't ready, waited about 10 minutes and it was ready for us! HIGHLY recommend reservations for any night! Tables were close to one another, but it wasn't loud enough to hear other conversations, and the place was FULL the entire time we were there! Food was quick, we were in and out in a little over an hour! Everything was played so nicely and looked really thought through!

Had a wonderful anniversary dinner, Our server was really nice, I think her name was Sophie or Sophia. We went with the ribeye special and half a dozen oysters. Ribeye was absolutely perfect, we ordered it rare. I felt the pommes aligot was amazing but just slightly too salty but boyfriend thought it was perfect. We also loved the oysters from Massachusetts. Pistachio cheesecake was to die for! Overall I will definitely come back for other special occasions, there are many other items on the menu I'm dying to try.

Had the BEST night at Salted Edge with family of 8 last night! Chris, our waiter, was awesome! Totally attentive and timed out our service perfectly! Our food was so delicious. Two had the steak and fries, I had the short rib cavatelli. I would order that every time--it was mouth watering!!!!! We met Chef Joel at the end of the evening! Thank you Rory, for making our night perfect! We will be back soon!!!!

It was a very loud environment- thought we'd try it for date night, not for couples wanting to sit and talk. The service was fine but the food was sub par. Ordered lobster pasta and it tasted like warm oranges, 8 individual pieces of pasta for $35, after 2 bites couldn't eat the rest, ick!

Food was great. Price point is fair for the quality. Service was very hospitable, but slow in a large group (7). A little far away from central Omaha, but worth the drive.

Service was excellent. I had the aged ribeye, which was cooked to perfection (MR). My wife had the salmon which was also prepared excellently. We shared the lobster Mac and cheese which was also very good. Noise level was not too bad, I'd give it a 3 on a scale of 1-5. Only disappointment was the drinks being over priced, short pours.

Outstanding! We were a party of 4 for a birthday dinner. The food, the ambiance, the service was all amazing! The fire roasted artichoke was tangy and tender. The shrimp on the shrimp cocktail were super meaty. My husband never comments on food and he mentioned the size of the shrimp. The bison bolognese was filling and flavorful. The strip on the steak frites was soooo buttery. Everyone took home some leftovers and we're excited to eat them again. We will be back!!

We finally made it out to try Salted Edge! I was unsure of what to expect but the food blew me away. The interior is very minimalist and modern looking (we went during the holiday season and I wish it was a bit more decorated). The music was odd for how upscale the restaurant is but overall it was such a great experience with our the food and the service. We ordered a couple of bread boards to start. Each bread was so different and came with the most amazing specialty salt on the side. The Herb Butter Buns were my favorite. For dinner we ordered the classic burger, truffle risotto, another truffle risotto but instead of shrimp she added salmon, pear balsamic pizza, pepperoni pizza, steak and fries, and the surf and turf meal. For sides, brussels sprouts and cauliflower. The drinks were also a 10/10 phenomenal. We ordered an espresso martini, hot toddy, spicy marg (Don't be salty, Chef!), beer, and old fashions. The spicy marg was definitely my favorite. Of course the entire experience wouldn't have been complete without trying the desserts. We ordered two desserts - the butterscotch bourbon creme brulee, and the pistachio cheesecake. Both desserts were truly incredible, if you can only get one, not much can beat butterscotch! If you are looking for an elevated dining experience in the Omaha area, this should be on your list! Hot Tips: - The espresso martini is very espresso forward, not too creamy - The spicy marg (Don't be salty, Chef!) is the perfect summer drink but also just a great drink in general - The steak and fries is worth every penny - Try the butterscotch dessert before anything else

The SiL chose this as her birthday dinner and I was ECSTATIC to try a bison steak so it was full steam ahead to this restaurant after work. We walked into a wonderfully elegant restaurant that felt modern and to air on the side of finer dining. We were greeted by our waitress Brittnee and she knew that menu inside and out, what was hip and how to describe everything as well as give insight to possible tastes. Probably one of the best waitresses I've had the chance to experience so far. We started off with the bread board and all the breads could honestly make you want to make fresh bread every day for the rest of your life and turn your nose up at the bread aisle in any store. The corn bread was extremely moist and had a wonderful frosting on it. Absolutely a must have as an appetizer. The bison steak was tender with a very beautiful earthy flavor and cooked absolutely perfect. However I think the Salmon really shined here because I am still trying to remember what was with that corn because I could eat that with the salmon every single day and not get tired of it. I was barely able to snap the photo before the misses had that plate cleared. I did not taste the lobster bisque but saw that yelp needed photos for many of the items so I snapped the brother in laws. The drinks are something I only wish I could create. In all, I strongly recommend this restaurant. For date night, a business meeting, or a random urge to eat delicious food from a chef that studied in France. You really can't go wrong.

Went for 1st time & will definitely be back! Food was outstanding & service was top notch! The bread board & brussel sprout appetizers were very good (& filling). My husband wanted to try the steak, but didn't have room for that much food. He ordered the pasta instead & I had the Caribbean mahi mahi!

Such a nice spot with very modern feel, and one of the best lake views around Omaha! The outdoor patio is by far the best vibe I've found in the city, from the modern bar decor to the comfortable lounge chairs, all with an excellent view of the gorgeous lake. The food was amazing--we went during a soft opening and were able to order from 3 different menus which all had a few entree/app options. Short rib was my favorite! I'm not even sure what the sides were but they paired very well flavor and texture-wise--some sort of fried cheese base, and a creamed spinach under the short rib. The pizza was fantastic as well--very thin crust but not crunchy, charred on the bottom, and very fluffy at the top. One of my favorite pizza doughs I've ever had! The shrimp cocktail was great as well, although I didn't feel this was a great value for $22, but the cocktail sauce was great. My favorite taste here was the one night stand espresso martini--so sweet and delicious yet I could feel that it was still a strong drink! Best tasting drink I've had in quite a while Overall I will for sure be back for the drinks and patio view/vibe. The food is pricy, but very good and worth it if you are ready to splurge!

I was very excited for our first trip to salted edge. I didn't know what to expect and had no premonitions before arriving. Initially entering the restaurant, you pass by large cuts of beef in dry aging refrigerators. The restaurant itself has a unique modern vibe to it mixed with a modern kitchen type feel. The dining room opens to the kitchen and serving window along with the area where the pizza oven is. There is also a very large wine room off to the one side of the restaurant and a large bar opposite of that. On the other two sides of the entire restaurant is mostly windows looking out over the lake, the restaurant is very inviting....up scale to a certain degree but also casual. Our waiter came around to take drink orders and I typically like bourbon so I asked him for the bourbon/drink menu which he said they didn't have one. It just so happens that they had a brand of bourbon that I liked and a variation of that type of bourbon that I had never had and I was quite impressed with the high west double rye. My wife opted for the sangria which she said was very very good. The entire table got a couple bread appetizer plates, which is the star of the appetizer selection here at this restaurant. Let me tell you, it may not seem all that intriguing, but the 4-5 different types of bread are made in house, comes out warm with different types of spreads, and it is flat out fantastic! As for our meals, my wife got the chicken breast and I got the bone in ribeye. We also got the lobster Mac to share for a side. The ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium and seasoned well, but I think the cut/quality of meat was off. I found the steak to not be as tender as I would prefer and some pieces were chewy. Disappointed for the price you pay - if I recall $78. I hate to dock a restaurant for this but if you're commanding a top of the market price, the quality should match. Unfortunately with meat, anything can happen so I give this one a partial pass. My wife was head over heels for her chicken breast. I do not think you could've cooked it any better. It was incredibly moist and delicious. She was raving about this dish. As for the lobster Mac, it was a healthy portion and there was plenty of lobster meat in the dish. The cheese sauce was creamy. The noodles were good and the flavor was great overall. I would've liked more lobster flavor, which I'm surprised didn't really come through on this dish. 3 of the people we were with got the short ribs and raved about them. Apparently fork tender and delicious!

It was ok. We booked a table outside and were told it was closed due to weather and then 5 minutes later a table sat outside. Someone in our party asked about an item on the menu and the server said " it wouldn't be on the menu if it wasn't good" we went for brunch . Two had eggs /potatoes, another person an eggs Benedict. We did have the bread board . It was over 90.00 for that. I think the view looks great. Super pretty bathrooms, but I can't imagine we would go back.
