Twisted Cork

My wife and I come in almost every week and sit at the bar. As a result, we've gotten to know restaurant manager / bartender Jennie. She's an engaging and excellent host, and after just a couple of visits, she anticipated our needs based on our past preferences - knowing our favorite wine and mixed drink. This is exactly what we look for in a non-chain restaurant - personal attention delivered with genuine thoughtfulness and care. We've found the greet staff and other waiters/waitresses that Jennie manages to be equally attentive. Obviously, there's one thing that's even more important than great service - and that's great food. Twisted Cork Bistro has that in spades - over the year and a half that we've been coming here, we've tried nearly every dish - and they are all winners. Of course, we both have our favorites - my wife really loves the Mahi Mahi and the Sea Scallops. I'm a big fan of the Prairie Fire and Hawaiian Ahi. The Bison steak is also over-the-top amazing. The key to most of their dishes is top-notch ingredients and really creative sauce and spice pairings. And speaking of pairings, if you're a wine fan, and you've always wanted to try wines from the Northwest, the selection here of reds and whites at every price point can't be beat. We moved from Newport Beach in Southern California, where there are any number of amazing restaurants, especially those that serve sea food. The owners are former Seattle, Washington restaurateurs who relocated to Omaha - and they have all their seafood flown in from either the West Coast or Hawaii every 24 hours, so have no doubt about freshness! Their meat offerings feature the best locally grown beef and bison. Their small bites are equally amazing, and they have a nice abbreviated happy hour menu that will let you get in and out with a great filling meal on a budget. If you haven't been there, be sure to give it a try. And tell Jennie that Bob and Marya sent you!

Great Bistro setting and vibe. Good selection of wines. Tried the white pinot, had two bottles for 3 people, and took a third bottle home. Food is very good. We had small plates to sample 5 dishes. Mussels were really good, as was Lavosh, shrimp, and ahi tuna. Small charcuterie board was pretty small but delicious. Server's were very friendly and knowledgeable about food and wines.

Twisted Cork Bistro is a restaurant in Omaha, Nebraska, that serves local, natural food, handcrafted ales, spirits and wines from the Pacific Northwest. The menu features a variety of dishes, including appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts. I recently visited Twisted Cork Bistro with my wife for a date night, and we had a great experience. We started with the Crying Crackers appetizer, which was a delicious combination of Piedmontese flank steak, cucumber, pistachio, fiery Jaew sauce, kimchi, and rice crackers. This was our favorite item on the menu, and it was our first time trying kimchi. We really loved it. For dinner, we had the Prairie Fire flank steak, which is a nine-ounce sliced flank steak with an espresso-cayenne rub, grilled medium rare. The steak comes with fingerling potatoes, apple slaw, and whiskey glaze Granny Smith apples with cinnamon. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were amazing. We also had the colossal sea scallops, which were cooked perfectly and served with charred Brussels, pistachio gremolata, and rice. The scallops were incredibly tender and flavorful, and the charred Brussels were a nice touch. To compliment our meal we enjoyed a bottle of one of the Pacific Northwest wines. The Hedges Family Cabernet Sauvignon did not disappoint. The wine was full-bodied and flavorful, with notes of dark berries, cocoa, and cinnamon. It paired perfectly with the steak and scallops. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Twisted Cork Bistro. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was inviting. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Omaha.

Ok, so I don’t wish to be dramatic…but this place is so awesome!!! The food is fresh, sources in an eco-conscious way that is environmentally friendly. The service is so prompt and the waiter was very willing to answer questions about the various menu items and their nutritional content. Now for the ground truth…the price…so very reasonable and in most cases less than a chain restaurant. This establishment, owned by a couple from Seattle in the heart of America in Omaha, Nebraska. I have to admit, I did chuckle about the guests at nearby table talking Nebraska Cornhusker football. Bottom line…this is a great restaurant!

This is not gonna be the only time I go to this restaurant. They are outstanding! And the chef is superb. You're gonna go to this place and end up going here once a week. It's just that good.. I think we sampled be sampled several of the best dishes and just need to go back to try it all!! Presentation, taste, customer service was just incredible!! I'm gonna have to thank my friend Devin for taking me here! If he didn't, I would have never tried this gem of an eattery!!
