Finally, Omaha is growing up. Among the myriad of fast food venues disguised as restaurants, an exception as finally come to Omaha and it is called Prestige. How fitting!
The term casual-upscale dining has never fit a venue better than this. Casual in the sense that the staff is absolutely superb at making you feel like family in a good old fashioned Midwestern way. But upscale in terms of what the venue offers. An awesome menu that includes the best of the best without sacrificing quality. I have had everything from the Lobster Nachos to the Swordfish Oscar and every time I am blown away by the quality and presentation of my food. No, Prestige staff won't bore you to tears rambling on with a scripted dialogue of their nightly specials. What they will do is take your order in a nice, I am glad you are here manner and then serve it up so quick that you might think you were at a fast food restaurant but one bite, and you know this food was made from scratch. And prices are VERY reasonable. A comparable dinner at a snooty restaurant would cost 2-3 times more without any improvement in quality.
The wine list is excellent and just as reasonably priced. A couple can enjoy a five star dinner including nice bottle of wine for under $1205. Or, if you prefer, you can have a wonderful 3-4 star dinner with drinks for well under $100, take your pick. If you live in Omaha and have not given Prestige a try, you are missing the boat. If you are visiting and don't put Prestige on your to go list you are just plain crazy.
