"This beautiful historic hotel/restaurant has been on my to-go-to list for years. My husband treated me on a weeknight so we were able to get in without a reservation. The ambience is top-notch, taking you back to early twentieth century splendor. Food choices were unique but I went with the Omaha classic Reuben. I’m a Reuben fan and wasn’t impressed by the other Omaha restaurant that claimed to have the original. The Blackstone hotel truly has the best in town or anywhere for that matter. This was one of my favorite dining experiences, and we go out a lot. I have given quite a few five-star reviews but this one is hands down in the top 1 percent. I need to go back!"

"Wonderful experience. I had the afternoon tea, lobster deviled eggs, & the clubber. It was all amazing! Afternoon Tea was a little lite in the savory assortment. Also, it is a preset menu. You cannot order what you like. Just an FYI. Other than that amazing experience! When you go in... ask to be seated in Lance's section! He was the server! Would go back just for him!"

"I had the Ruben and truffle fries. The Ruben was awful. It tasted more like pot roast then corn beef. Super chewy, but the truffle flies were some of the best I’ve ever had. Disappointing, because the venue was awesome. The staff was phenomenal. It was also really pricey with tip it was $70 for two people. I feel like that is a lot for two Ruben, sandwiches, and fries."

"When in Omaha, be sure to have at least one breakfast/brunch at The Orleans Room in the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel (and definitely stay in the hotel if you are able - it’s amazing!). The Orleans Room (actually the whole hotel) has a gorgeous old-school vibe with excellent service. The menu is unique, but with plenty of traditional favorites. Two of our faves are the shakshuka, and the Reuben Benedict. We’ve been multiple times and have probably tried the entire menu / highly recommended!"

"The BEST Ruben in town!! Went got a Ruben twist called The Rachel which is also amazing and the Cobb salad"
