We've had tables on days where it was very easy to have a quiet discussion and ones that seemed like the acoustics funneled sound toward the table. Despite that, service, food, and the vibe will always bring us back. GF options are a definite plus.

QUICK REVIEW: After 20+ years, Mahogany is still our Go-To Steakhouse in Omaha. Great service, nice new digs, outstanding food. Highly Recommend. Yes, we will go back. LONGER REVIEW: Over the years, we have been to Mahogany 30+ times. Both for business and social occasions. Never disappoints. We travel and entertain extensively, and Mahogany still is one of the Top 10 Steakhouses in the country. SERVICE: Seated promptly in a booth (by request) at reservation time. They moved their location recently, and we are glad they kept the "big booths" along with other table options. Marzia and Kim - our main servers - were outstanding. There when you needed them and a great attitude to boot. Nice job! WINE and COCKTAILS: We were celebrating our anniversary and started with the Strawberry martini and Old Fashioned. Two reds by the glass with our meals. Wines by the glass had good choices, many above 90 points - we checked. The wine and whiskey lists are excellent for a Midwest Steakhouse. FOOD: Wedge Salad to share, Bone in Ribeye and Petite Filet. Baked potato on the side. All perfectly cooked - very, very tasty. A grasshopper for dessert! Nicely done. OVERALL: Can't go wrong, we have never had a bad experience ever at Mahogany. Yes, it ranks up there with top Vegas, Chicago and New York chophouses. Highly Recommend. Get reservations, on the weekends it gets busy. Yes, we will be back.

About the restaurant
Get a taste of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Swiss, and Australian cuisine at Wave Bistro in Omaha. Its menu features a variety of dishes from many parts of the world. Some dishes diners can enjoy while eating here include Thai green curry chicken, cashew-crusted salmon and seafood gumbo. Because each entree comes with a salad and a bowl of soup, all of its meals are very filling. But, if one still has room for dessert, a souffle cheesecake or a mousse torte might satisfy the sweet tooth. Inside, its decor is quite contemporary. This family owned and operated restaurant has been in business since the late 1990s.

Located in Omaha’s historic “packing house”district, this is the second time we’ve eaten here. Everything was great. Excellent cocktails and wine list, along with very attentive and helpful wait staff. The tuna entree was creatively assembled and reasonably priced.
