Le Boullon is always great place to enjoy and evening of fine dining and wine. The ambiance was elevated with our server Mia's positive and attentive attitude to our dining questions. :)

About the restaurant

For any requests or accommodations for dinner parties of 7 or more guests, please contact the restaurant by phone.

This is a restaurant where steak is the star–where great steak is the rule, not the exception. Mahogany’s steaks are the finest custom-aged U.S. Prime Midwestern Beef, known for its excellence in marbling, texture and flavor. We broil it exactly the way you like it at 900 degrees to lock in the corn-fed flavor. We serve it sizzling on a heated plate so that it stays hot throughout your meal. Selections from the ocean include Australian Rock lobster and the freshest fish daily based on availability. Service will be outstanding, but provided in a casual, less intimidating fine-dining atmosphere.

Indian

Lincoln

About the restaurant

The Oven Restaurants specialize in Northern Indian Cuisine which is known for its rich colors, flavor profiles and a unique style of cooking in a clay oven, called the Tandoor. Chicken, shrimp and lamb marinate for several hours in a yogurt and spice mixture and placed on skewers while various breads are being hand made by our chefs fresh each day. The skewers and breads are then placed in the tandoor over an open flame where breads are cooked to perfection and the rich flavors are sealed in to ensure tenderness and quality of the meat. Over the last several years, the Oven Restaurants has expanded to two other locations and added space to the lower level of the Haymarket location. Whether you enjoy the historic Haymarket atmosphere and relaxed vibe of the Cellar, the beautiful sunsets and outdoor patio of the Oven East, or you’re in Omaha for the night to try Himalayas, there are many ways to sample the cuisine of India!

Great food and service. The dining area is loud due to high ceilings and heavy chairs being moved across the floor. Next time if weather permits I would choose outdoor seating for noise control.

This place was really really good. Our server Evan was fantastic. The beets and apples were incredible. Probably the best beets dish I have ever had. Go with the small plates and split them. No need for the larger traditional dishes.

We were celebrating my husbands birthday and requested a table near the fireplace, as it is a very cozy spot. They accommodated our wish and it was the perfect spot. The hostess was very pleasant and our server Daniel was excellent. Overall a very nice evening. The dining room is rustic but yet elegant and cozy. Food is good. We are repeat customers and will continue to celebrate special occasions there and recommend to others.
