Was very disappointed!! Dinner was served, unfortunately my meal was cold, the steak and the rice! Our meals were obviously served together, but they took my plate back to the kitchen while my husband continued to eat his meal! Got fresh hot rice and the same steak served that had been out back on the grill, which was what I was expecting, but it can back out dry!! NO discount on our final bill nor an apology! Very disappointing! We were planning to go back for the tomahawk, we won’t be! They’ve just lost over $200 k more from us!!

Took awhile but we found a steak in the Haymaker District so had to go! We didn’t know at the time that Single Barrel was in a hotel so perhaps had too high of expectations. Hotel restaurants can be hit or miss and the food at Single Barrel was just off target a bit. We sat in the bar and service was attentive but dare I say a bit too cocky? The first taste of that was after we sipped our Manhattan’s a couple times and were asked how they tasted. We said they were wonderful and we got “Of course they are, I made them”. That’s the tone that was kept throughout our meal! A little off putting but attentive! The food took forever! We thought at one point they perhaps lost our order but then the microwaved chicken dip and stale chips finally came! An eternity later our steak and salmon arrived. Steak was very unevenly cooked and lukewarm, wouldn’t even melt the butter! The shrimp skewer was cold, the salmon was undercooked and barely room temp and the parsnip puree was not even one bites worth! Not a spot we’ll return to unless we need a good Manhattan while passing by!

Excellent steak, good cocktails, exceptional service. We loved the corn bread, egg rolls, and dirty rice too!

CUSTOMERS PAY FOR EXPERIENCE!!!!! We have had 3 experiences here so far. The first was a day just for drinks. We were so impressed by the look of the menu we came back. The second we sat at the bar, received phenomenal service, ordered 2 steaks that made this our #1 go to for a steak in Lincoln (Mahogany in Omaha overall). Today’s visit a month and a half later, was distasteful and made me never want to come back and do anything other than sitting at the bar. Experience #2 sitting at the bar, the ribeye, NY strip, mac and cheese, and potatoes, were exquisite. The bartender was experienced, pleasant, and created an experience which allowed us wanting more. Today NYE, it’s not busy, but our waitress, Essence, was unwelcoming, unpleasant, and displayed a complete annoyance of our presence. We had all of a 3 second introduction when she asked if we needed a minute to look a the menu or knew what we wanted. Super welcoming. Zero introduction in the slightest. Amigos even asks your first name and gives you theirs. Had I not known the food was good from a previous experience, I would’ve walked out. I wouldn’t have known our server’s name, had I not asked on her 3rd trip to the table. She was in this to get us in and out. Had this been our only experience here, I’d never come back. I’m all for tipping well, and paying good money for service and food, but based off of today, I wouldn’t. Create a memorable experience for people to come back to, and you’ll never have to question your business standards, surviving in a dying industry. The food is phenomenal, but when you fail to have adequate or coherent staff, what’s the point?

This place used to be good. On Valentine’s day I wanted to try their Diver’s Scallops. Those are scallops that are harvested by hand. This does affect the flavor. Their scallops though are NOT diver harvested (according to the kitchen staff I asked). The mahi mahi I got instead? Was mehi mehi. Friday we were there again. My son’s steak was under cooked (rare instead of medium). His steak as well as my daughters were plated with scallops for an upcharge. Look at the size difference in the scallops….my daughter got 3 tiny micro bites. My Cajun pasta was overcooked and the noodles were bland. The sauce was flavorless. It had maybe 5 shrimp. Our waitress “Essence” was forgetful and pushy. We ordered shots before dinner….she came to us 3 times to take our order before finally bringing us our shots. It was not particularly busy yet. She seemed a bit coked out. Not worth the price. It is on par with outback.

Awesome service, great drinks, and friendly bartenders! My wife and I had a great experience with Sara, and Eli was incredible!! He was attentive, welcoming, and was super knowledgeable about the drink and food menu, as well as giving us great advice about things to do and see in the immediate area!!
10/10, we will be back soon!!

Hailey was our waitress and she was phenomenal.
Food was great. Great portions. Perfect size
Only upgrade I would suggest is offer a baked potato at a steak house and more green vegetables
Maybe broader wine offering.
Ultimately Hailey made the evening with pleasant personality and service.

Three people dining. Service was excellent. #1 liked the burger and fries. #2 liked the brisket grilled cheese and fries. #3 had the JoJo with a side of asparagus. Asparagus should have had the woody stems snapped off. Sandwich was tasty but too many bites of gristle. Had to eat it with a knife and fork and discard several pieces.

Came here for an early Christmas date night and left extremely disappointed. The tuna poke was bland with only a few tiny cubes. Both steaks were poorly cooked—my husband’s ribeye was uneven, and my picanha was ordered medium rare and came out well-done (the first time I’ve ever sent a steak back). Very surprising for a restaurant that “specializes” in steak.
To make it worse, after paying $150+ by card at our table with a different staff member (manager?), our original server chased us halfway out the door and accused us of not paying. We showed our banking transaction, which he also confirmed in his system. Completely embarrassing! We won’t be returning and do not recommend. Poor food and even poorer service due to a lack of staff communication.

Blech on the food. If they have 2 chefs on staff, they weren’t there Thursday. Had the super over cooked scallops and overly salty risotto … worst I’ve ever had. Thought I’d steal some of my husbands Butter steak “specialty” dish to save the day… tried 3 different bites… hoping I just got a bad bite, flavorless, chewy…ugh. Waste of $200. Too many other good restaurants in town to ever go there again. Saving grace was we had excellent service from Essence.
