Best Spots for a Romantic Dinner in Omaha

Dinner at a nice restaurant is often an important part of a couple's Valentine's Day plans. But choosing a restaurant that is good and not booked solid can be difficult on this holiday. Here are several suggestions to help you find a nice, romantic restaurant to kick start your Valentine's Day plans.

Brother Sebastian's Steakhouse and Winery is well-known in Omaha for their excellent steaks and extensive wine list. In 2004, they won the Best of Omaha Award from Omaha Magazine. They first opened their doors in 1977, and it is was through their ability to deliver such fine cuisine that they have been able to maintain their position at the top of Omaha restaurants. They offer selections that are considered unusual for Omaha, and even throughout the entire midwest. Such selections include escargot and frog legs. They offer 155 wines by the bottle, and a large selection by the glass. The wine ranges from inexpensive to quite pricy. Almost everyone in the Omaha area would include Brother Sebastian's on their list of most romantic dining spots. Brother Sebastian's is located at 1350 South 119th St., and their phone number is (402)330-0300. Call now if you are searching for Valentine's Day reservations, because they will fill up fast.

Many people have heard of the Flatiron Building in New York City, but did you know there is also a Flatiron Building in Omaha? The Flatiron Cafe is a romantic spot that serves fine cuisine to patrons that demand high-quality, innovative dishes. Their menu changes seasonally so that they can provide the freshest dishes. Currently their menu includes such items as a half roasted duck in a blood orange and anise reduction, with kumquat cherry marmalade and forbidden rice. The prices are exceptional considering the quality of the dishes. This is truly one of Omaha's finest hidden gems. The Flatiron Cafe is located in the Old Market at 17th & Howard Street. Their phone number is (402)344-3040.

The Drover is a restaurant located in South Omaha, which has been delivering fine meals for many years. Most of the patrons rave about the whiskey strip, but their seafood dishes are also excellent. The Drover is the type of restaurant that draws people from other states, just so they can experience a meal at this restaurant. The decor is a bit old-fashioned and the lighting it dim, even for a couple looking for a romantic setting. But the food cannot be beat, and it's a nice, quiet restaurant for a date or night out. The Drover is somewhat hidden in South Omaha. It is located at 2121 South 73rd St., and their phone number is (402)391-7440.

The French Cafe, located in the Old Market, won two awards in 2006 from Omaha Magazine, and awards from many other places. These awards were for Best French Restaurant and Best Romantic Restaurant. And they certainly earned the distinction. The restaurant has a sophisticated French style. With low lighting, menus presented in French, and some of the best food presentation anywhere, The French Cafe is definitely romantic. A recommended dish is the Chateaubriand, which is prepared for two. After leaving The French Cafe, you may be inspired to take a moonlit ride through the Old Market on a horse-drawn carriage. The French Cafe is located at 1017 Howard St. in the Old Market. Their phone number is (402)341-3547. Reservations will be difficult to get for Valentine's Day, and they are recommended. The attire is business casual.

No matter what you have planned for the rest of your evening, a nice dinner out will set the mood for the rest of the night to come. Make your reservations now at one of these restaurants, and you are setting yourself up for a very nice evening.
