Richie, Betsey, and I had a couple of hours to explore Nebraska. We made reservations at 801 Chophouse Omaha for dinner since we have been craving for their foie gras and bone marrow. Betsey definitely did not approve of this restaurant, but she came along to explore. The food at 801 Chophouse was pretty good. We ordered Oyster Rockefeller, Roasted Bone Marrow, 16 oz. Ribeye, Duck Fat Potatoes, Creme Brulee, and Trio of Sorbets.
The oysters with hollandaise was so refreshing! We really enjoyed this and we just love oysters. The Roasted Bone Marrow was AMAZING. Came with tomato and raisin chutney, capers, grilled lemon, pickled onion, parsley, and toasted baguette. The marrow was so rich! Melted in our mouths and tasted almost like butter! The 16 oz. Ribeye topped with foie gras was not bad. I am not a huge fan of steak, but I wouldn’t mind just eating the foie gras by itself. It had such an interesting texture of softness and thickness together. The Duck Fat Potatoes was made with caramelized onions and pecorino romano. This was our least favorite. It just tasted like hard chips and nothing flavorful or unique about it.
We ended our dinner with Creme Brulee and Trio of Sorbets. The Creme Brulee was not bad. I prefer this to be more creamier side like pudding. The Trio Sorbet was so delicious! Came with blueberry, passion fruit, and lemon. The passion fruit was so fruity and tarty! The lemon helped clean our palates. The blueberry was not bad and had chucks of blueberry pieces. Overall, this was a very yummy dinner.
