Address & map

The Committee Chophouse is a steakhouse at 302 South 36th Street in Omaha, Nebraska, in the lower level of the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel in the Blackstone District. My photos from a May 2022 dinner show a grill-marked steak, shrimp in a yellow sauce, a starter that looks like beef tartare and a bowl of dessert, and the plates carry part of the restaurant's name in red script.

The Committee Chophouse and its name

According to the Cottonwood Hotel's page for the restaurant, The Committee Chophouse borrows its name from friends who played weekly poker at the original Blackstone Hotel and called themselves The Committee. The Flatwater Free Press said in February 2025 that the hotel building dates to 1916 and that original tile and terrazzo floors remain throughout the restaurant.

The steak

The cover photo shows a thick steak with deep grill marks and a dark crust on a white plate with a red rim, with a small grilled yellow pepper behind it. The Committee Chophouse's website says its steaks are cooked at 1,200 degrees. The Flatwater Free Press review adds that steaks are served à la carte and that a bone-in ribeye is a standard of the dinner menu. I can't tell the cut of the steak in my photo.

A starter that looks like beef tartare

The starter is a round mound of chopped meat that looks like beef tartare, topped with a bright yolk and sprigs of a feathery herb that look like dill, with thin fried potato chips around it in shades from pale gold to dark brown. Restaurant Hoppen's review, which shows no date, lists Prime Beef Tartare among the chef-driven dishes on the menu but doesn't mention chips.

Shrimp and dessert

Dessert is a small white bowl of three scoops that look like ice cream, pale yellow and swirled with red, with crumbly pieces on top. Restaurant Hoppen and the Flatwater Free Press both highlight The Committee Chophouse's Baked Alaska. The bowl in my photo is a different dessert.
