We just had our work party here tonight. The drink selection was great. the food was beyond delicious, and the staff was amazing. Andrea was so friendly and such a big help. I dont think I saw her once without a smile. Her language was kind and soft. Im so glad we were able to have our work party here. The food made you want to savor each bite. Thank you Andrea and The Venue!

Always love coming here. Service is always amazing. I wanted a drink that was no longer on the menu and the bartender created a cocktail very similar and I loved it. The waitress in the lounge was super great. The little blonde had many tables and was still very attentive. The food was as always phenomenal. Highly recommended

I really do not know how I had not heard about this place sooner just simply googled great places to eat in Lincoln and after scrolling through some places decided to try something new. We were definitely not disappointed and VERY eager to come back! Everything was a hit from our amazing mixed drinks to the surprise complementary homemade flavored bread with three delicious very different butter spreads to put on there. We both enjoyed the most tender, amazing, perfectly cooked steak with velvety delicious pop in your mouth flavor Boursin mashed potatoes and other delicious sides. Definitely leaving feeling Fat and Sassy only disappointment was I had zero chance of fitting in a dessert. I can only imagine how dangerous delectable the desserts may be.

A small group of coworkers met here for Happy Hour on Thursday. The place is very nice, the servers were friendly and the food and drinks on the happy hour menu were delicious! I especially loved the Pretzel bites!

Date Night The Venue is one of those special places we only hit about twice a year. I'm constantly checking their ever-changing menu for something that catches my eye (Hello Mushroom Wellington 😮). My husband was wanting a Steak dinner. After a few suggestions on my part he decided and I was able to make a reservation for later in the evening. We both opted for an entree off the Specials Menu, skipping our usual Apps to save room. He still had a favorite soup- the Potato Bacon- smoky, creamy, and rich. While I had a yummy Side Salad sub Olives (of course). Our Complementary Bread Course was temporarily forgotten about but as soon as I expressed my need for Fresh Focaccia it was quickly delivered. My husband went All-In with the monstrous Cowboy Ribeye. His two chosen sides were the Grilled Asparagus and Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes. He honestly hasn't treated himself like this in ages. Steak is something he is SO incredibly critical of but they Absolutely Nailed It! He literally sat there with a stupid grin on his face while working his way through the meaty-ness. Loved the Veg as well, seasoned and garlicky. I am always sooooo hesitant to order a pricey Fish Dish. Have you ever had a bad piece of fish? Ruins everything for so long. Sucked it up and chose the Halibut En Papillote Special. Just means it was cooked in a parchment paper pouch with lemons and herbs and veg. Duuuuuuuuude. 1000% the Best Fish I've ever had in Lincoln. No joke. I spent the whole time doing my Happy Food Dance. Plus the Steamed Veg was seasoned Perfectly! It came with a Sundried Tomato Vinaigrette which I tried but ultimately didn't use. My husband sampled everything and explained it's for those who like malt vinegar with their fish. Made sense. We rarely do Dessert but both agreed to split the Red Berry Tiramisu. It was very yummy BUT the selling point for me was the Lemon Curd in the description. It was pretty much non-existent which left me somewhat disappointed. Didn't matter, he practically licked the plate clean. Finished with a Raspberry Dragonfruit Margarita. Surprisingly tart, totally my department! Our server Madison was wonderful! This place is collaborative so we had other great unnamed team members assisting us as well. Always Top-Notch! ***** Originally posted to EAT IT in Lincoln, NE on Facebook *****
