The Committee Chophouse
Nebraska
The Committee Chophouse brings a steakhouse tradition into Omaha's Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel. Its name recalls the poker group associated with the building's earlier life as the Blackstone Hotel, giving the restaurant a direct link to the property's social history. The dining room occupies the hotel's lower level and combines the atmosphere of a classic steakhouse with contemporary touches. The focus is on a substantial dinner, supported by a changing dessert selection and drinks that include whiskey-led nightcaps. The neighbouring Cottonwood Room extends the evening. A sculptural cottonwood tree rises from the centre of its circular bar, recalling the hotel's mid-century bar and creating a distinctive place for an aperitif or final drink. For diners looking to make an occasion of an Omaha steak dinner, The Committee offers more than a convenient hotel address. The building's history, the dining room and the adjoining cocktail bar give the evening a coherent setting from first drink to last.
