Black Oak Grill - Midtown Crossing

My wife and I have been here a couple of times now. It is a little upscale, but consistent when comparing prices to other restaurants in this area. Each time we have been here, the food has been excellent and also had reasonable portions. The fried mushrooms are by far the best I have ever had at a restaurant. They do validate for parking in the garage there making it really convenient to go here.

We stopped in for lunch and ordered the Reuben and the Meatloaf. Our drinks stayed full at all times and the food came out hot and pretty quick. The Reuben corned beef was thinly sliced and tender with just the right amount of kraut and sauce. I like my Reuben grilled and this was served on regular bread that was not grilled or toasted. The fries were hot and crisp. The meatloaf was very generous in size and it had a nice beefy flavor with a marinara type sauce on top. The potatoes were a garlic mashed and they were delicious. The green beans were plain and could have used some seasoning to spruce them up. Overall great experience and we would go back again.

This place was recommended to us by our AirBnB host. Fantastic staff was helpful on everything from drinks to dinner choices. When we said we didn't want a full sized dinner salad she graciously split an order for us and simply made the end of a very long driving day delightful. The food was perfectly done and arrived quickly. Would go back again next time we are in Omaha.

Very good food. We ate on the patio. Comfy chairs and beautiful view of Midtown to Downtown. Fried pickles are recommended as an appetizer. The breading didn't over power the pickle. Rosemary grilled chicken had an interesting flavor. It was juicy too. The smashed potatoes and green beans were a perfect compliment. For dessert, strawberry cheesecake! Delicious! The weather was perfect. Sun was behind the buildings. Just a perfect evening.
