    The excellent entrees, the delicious food, the drinks on point, full of creativity and touches that make them different. The menu is not very extensive, but fair and adequate as it should be, with enough variety to choose from, without having too many to overwhelm. The atmosphere was relaxed and elegant, with pleasant lounge music playing in the background, the waitress was attentive and fast, with a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. From the reception the attentions were excellent, we were in celebration of our birthday and they took the gesture to put a printed greeting on each menu. The place is a bit hidden from the bustle of downtown, but that is what makes it so unique and interesting. It's definitely not a cheap place, but it's totally worth indulging yourself once in a while.

    Omaha recently started to grow up on me, and Old Town Market is mostly responsible for it. Any given day or evening, it's such a pleasure to walk around and enjoy the architecture, wall art, and some of the storefronts. If you plan on going to Old Market for food either for The Boiler Room or for another restaurant, I suggest parking a little further than your destination and taking a walk. You will not be disappointed. The Boiler Room is located a little off of the beaten path, and as you walk towards the restaurant, just the view of the building and the colorful garden area immediately elevates your mood. It is relatively small and I strongly recommend you make reservations. The restaurant door opens to a second level, looking directly over the bar and kitchen. Second level seating, which is the best location in my opinion, offers open floor plan and high ceilings. The lower level ceiling is a little too low, and clearly, this restaurant is not made for bar customers as the bartop is a little too narrow, and the chairs, let's say, a tad too uncomfortable View of the aged brick walls, dark brown steel posts, steel pipes, beams, and ducts overhead really complete the ambiance as you are looking to the wine cellar. Great wine and cocktail selection. If you are getting red meat, I would recommend La Sala del Torriano, you won't be disappointed. I have ordered wagyu sirloin steak. I don't like the cold center, so I ordered it medium, and it was cooked to perfection. This dish is executed to perfection with eggplant puree, marinated lentils, shishito, cherry tomatoes, and mushroom demi glace. Bitters from eggplant puree and rich mushroom demi glace really elevates the soft tender sirloin, which really compliments to chef on this brilliant option. I would really be excited and interested in to try a steak dish with Béarnaise sauce from this chef. I am not posting the menu, because I was told it is constantly changing, so I would not want to mislead anyone to certain menu items. Here are a few setbacks; The server forgot to get my drink, had to finish the second half of my food without a drink, In summer, avoid the left side of the bar as the fan from the fridge blowing hot air right on your feet, Bathrooms, oh god, I'm not sure what ladies one looks like, but the men side reminded me of LaGuardia restrooms. It's clean but just not fitting the restaurant. Really can use some upgrades. Also, please install a door stopper and fix the hole in the wall. So if you are going on a date and impress your date, or if you are in town for business for a great bite, this place with its cool ambiance and delicious food should definitely be on your list. May be a plan on logistics ahead of time to avoid restrooms, score a second floor table with a kitchen view, and you have gotten yourself a great night.

    Every time I eat there, the food is absolutely exquisite and the drinks are incredible. Last night was by far the best experience I've had there yet! They had some of the best dinner and dessert items to date, and when my fiance proposed, the server and pastry chef were so wonderful and covered our dessert and champagne! Truly made a wonderful experience even better. I cannot wait to go back!

    When I tell you this is the BEST meal we’ve ever had, I do not exaggerate. From the appetizer to the steak to the swordfish, it was absolutely divine. Had a new to us beer & amazing hot tea from a local vendor which I adore. We look forward to making this a weekly dining experience as their menu changes weekly. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the service! Our waitress was EXCELLENT & on top of it all. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Wine was good, as well as the charcuterie. But the dishes both tasted like pickles, which was gross. I ordered steak, fiancée ordered grouper. Neither should taste like a pickle. Terrible experience, almost ruined my proposal!

    Pricey, but excellent food. Wait staff cordial and efficient, but not as attentive as in other higher end downtown Omaha restaurants. Lingering smell from a repaint or restrain job the night we were there. Otherwise interesting masks and decor.

    We had a beautiful first anniversary here - the service is fantastic and the food is such a unique and delicious combination of flavors no matter what you order. The upper dining area was 3/4 full even at 8:30pm during our reservation, and the servers worked together to ensure everyone was cared for and each table’s special occasion was known to all throughout the evening. The pork belly curry appetizer was our favorite; such a unique dish with Indian flavors, and the lamb and the salmon entrees were delicious. They brought us a complimentary glass of champagne to start which was a nice touch, too. We will be back for future special occasions!

    Delicious restaurant in an old brick building with candle light and wine all around. Presentation of food was wonderful, as was the service and food itself. Enjoyed their cocktails as well.

    1st class dining! Excellent service, classy & modern ambience and the food was amazing. We visited The Boiler Room for a date night and left very impressed. Our first experience with steak tartare and definitely won't be our last. We both agreed it may be one of the best appetizers we've had. Both meals were prepared perfectly. We will definitely be back!

    What a great place to eat! I had the lamb shank and my daughter had the wagyu steak. Both were excellent! Charcuterie plate and rhubarb/strawberry tart were superb! Great service also.

    My boyfriend and I went to Boiler Room for the first time last night. The atmosphere is super romantic, cozy and the perfect place for a special celebration. My boyfriend ordered one of their signature drinks and I ordered a mocktail. Both drinks were good! For dinner I had the wagyu sirloin and my boyfriend had the wagyu ribeye. Both entrées were excellent! We will definitely be back!

    Service was top notch, atmosphere was excellent, and the detail level and quality of the food was impeccable. The menu is constantly changing, so be prepared for surprises when you get to the restaurant. The cocktails are very complex and delightful. The Nashville pork croquette was a delightful spicy appetizer. My wife had the Norwegian halibut, a beautiful piece of fish, cooked perfectly with delightful sides to accompany. I had the roasted porchetta, which was savory, juicy and delicious. The greens and red eye gravy elevated it even more. We each got the chocolate torte for dessert because it was too good to share!

    I recently dined at The Boiler Room in Omaha, and it was a bit of a mixed bag. The halibut was a highlight - cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. However, the ratatouille left something to be desired, lacking the same wow factor. The steak was decent, and the pork chop was alright, though neither left a lasting impression. What did stand out were the ricotta agnolotti and the jalapeño pork sausage - truly exceptional dishes that I couldn't get enough of. The service was solid, and the lively ambiance was a perfect match for the Downtown vibe. Our table was located by a painting of pig heads, which was strangely unnerving, but it didn't overshadow the overall experience. I was quite pleased with my Archer Scotch drink - impeccably smooth. The sourdough bread was a delightful addition, soaking up every bit of the delicious sauces. While I thoroughly enjoyed many aspects of the meal, I did feel that the prices were slightly on the higher side. All in all, The Boiler Room provided a mix of flavors and experiences, with some definite highlights that are worth trying.

    Very lovely spot for dinner! We got the charcuterie board for an appetizer, and it did not disappoint. It paired well with both selections of wine we chose for the night. Both our steaks were cooked perfectly, and all the sides were equally delicious. The apple tarte was perfect, although didn't quite satiate the sweet tooth. Overall, very filling and delicious.

    We came here after a work meeting and it was the perfect way to unwind! The food looked and tasted amazing. The drinks were very unique and tasty. Our server made our experience memorable as well! I really enjoyed the experience and the use of locally sourced food will have me coming back.

    Best dinner we've had in a long time. Husband's pork chop was super tender and delicious and my swordfish was maybe the best cooked piece of fish I've ever had. Service was great. Food came out fast. Atmosphere was modern and kinda cool.

  • 5/5 Amanda P. 5 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    One of the best meals we’ve ever had, even as people who have traveled all over the world. Chef is incredibly talented and we will absolutely be dining here again. We started with a raw scallop appetizer and they were the best scallops I have ever tasted. I also got the Fluke that came in a light curry sauce—it was incredible. The chocolate cake for dessert was the perfect ending to the meal.

  • 5/5 Christina & J. 1 year ago on Google
    If we could give another star. We would. The wine is incredible. We had the waygu skirt steak and the duck. It was cooked to perfection and taste like heaven. The atmosphere is intimate and perfect for get togethers with the ladies or date nights. Dessert was unconventional and out of this world. Please stop in to this place. If you want reservations give Emily a call. She's your girl.

    Fabulous experience. My son took me last night for an early Valentines day dinner. We were spoiled! Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. Chef Tim, Chef Zach AND Chef Chelsea (the pastry chef) all visited our table and that meant a lot to me. Our waitress, Ashley, was delightful! I felt like we became good friend in that short couple of hours. I definitely recommend The Boiler Room for a fantastic dinner experience. Thank you D

    An amazing experience, service was excellent. Food was delicious and well thought out. Be prepared to be treated to a wonderful dinner. Though look at the expense beforehand to plan as this level of service comes at a cost. Will be back again as the beef cheek was just decadent.

    Nostalgic district with a creative dining menu. Tasty menu and quick service. Raspberry desert was amazing.

  • 5/5 Jim K. 1 year ago on Google
    Consistently over delivers. Small but powerful wine list. Great cocktail program. Duck is a go to dish and fish dishes are always inventive and on point. Best place in DT Omaha from my experience. Enjoy!

  • 5/5 Ashley K. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Just an amazing restaurant experience. Snuggled in a less busy part of Old Market this restaurant is high end dining at its best. Outstanding customer service and food that will be not only delicious but culinary works of art. GM, Emily is amazing and attentive and will make sure you are completely satisfied. The Boiler Room is perfect for special occasions where a ordinary meal won't do. Reservations highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Steph B. 1 year ago on Google
    The Boiler Room, where do I begin? It is truly the embodiment of everything I adore about Old Market Omaha. Only in the neighborhood of cobblestone streets and repurposed warehouses could you find a restaurant so effortlessly charming. This isn’t one of those modern monstrosities. It’s determinedly romantic with its exposed ceilings, rusty aesthetic, uneven brick walls, beautiful glassware, soft candlelight, and abstract art. I have no notes for improvement, everything from the complex flavor profile, the service, and the atmosphere was sheer perfection. An absolute must if you visit Omaha Old Market.

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a reservation last night and was blown away by the quality. My girlfriend has a allium allergy and the server and kitchen not only assisted my ordering, but also were able to direct us towards an appetizer that was one of the best gnocchi dishes I've ever had. The cocktails were inventive and delicious, the food was top quality, the wine list was modern and diverse, and the service may genuinely be some of the best I have ever received. I would give it 6 stars if I could. Thank you so much The Boiler Room!

    Everything was top notch. Service was impeccable. Food was amazing, charcuterie and cheese trays were delicious, entrees cooked to perfection, and dessert scrumptious. Cocktails were unique and delicious. Truly one of a kind fine dining experience.
