Were very disappointed from the start. I made a reservation and there was no line but a 15 minute wait before anyone noticed us. I started with a cocktail (Elder Cran Bliss) which was one of the tiniest drinks I have had for $14. My friend had her usual vodka/tonic which was fine in a regular. We shared the crab cakes which were good. I had the Lobster roll for my entree which was very lackluster- lobster in a hoagie (boring). My friend chose the salmon which she said was great! Service was just not good. There seemed to be plenty of servers and again not busy. Just no real urgency from staff to seat us, take our order, or check on us. Probably won't go back

The service was good and the food was mediocre. The lobster risotto which was $40 and supposedly chock full of lobster had a piece on top. With the big screen TVs on playing sports, I wasn't sure if this was an upscale place trying to be a sports bar or visa versa. 2nd time being here... will I return? Maybe.

I am just gonna start with this. GET THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!! We had a reservation and expected it to be jammin. It was not, and that was just fine with us. We were seated immediately (at a very wobbly table) by a super helpful lady that quickly returned with water. The booth we opted for was clean and the table was too. It only took our server a few moments to arrive to take our drink order. Either she was super sleepy or super high and it showed. She had no idea of the drink choices, especially the beers on tap. I chose a beer in a can and asked for a glass, my wife chose a beer in a bottle and asked for a glass as well. The server returned with 2 glasses and my beer and then read off the drink list. I ordered the Fried clams and asked for the wife's beer. It took a bit, but the beer arrived with the clams. The fried clams are a good sized dish, the breading is good and there are fried clams in there. I promise. The tarter sauce that comes with the clams tastes good, real fresh tasting. I was hoping there were a few specials, but our server wasn't able to tell us about them. I ordered the Flank steak, Rare. I asked if the cous cous could be subbed with the Brussel Sprouts and was told, Absolutely. I also chose to add shrimp to my plate. The lobster risotto was the wife's choice. We did not wait long at all for our meals. The flank steak was prepared perfectly for my liking and the mustard sauce, shrimp and the cippolini onions were delicious. The Brussel sprouts were to die for, simply amazing. So good, I can not speak more highly of them. Smashing good. The risotto was a good sized portion, crazy rich, super good with a lot of lobster. The small lobster portion on the top was a bummer, It was well over cooked and tasted old and dry. Our server was sleepy, but offered us dessert and again she needed to read from a menu once she fetched one. We got the Blueberry pie and the Lemon panna cotta. Holy crap the panna cotta was fantastic. It had a great texture and just full of the lemon flavor that I love. The pie center was good, lots of blueberries. The crust of the mini pie was almost hard. It looked flaky, but it was not. The ice cream that accompanied the pie was tasty and plentiful. I recommend Sand Point and look forward to going back.

Very pleasantly surprised at atmosphere. Very upscale for the area and in comparison with past occupants of the space.Food was excellent. Soup is probably the best “deal”.
New England food specialties, in a new restaurant in the space that used to be Jack and Mary's. It's a touch pricey compared to what you might expect, but the quality is excellent and was well worth it. Drinks were also great - they have a huge and really nice bar.

One of the best meals I've had in Omaha. The bread board was particularly outstanding!

Beautiful space that is modern and clean. Legit New England menu (you know it's legit when you see fluffenutter in the dessert menu and clams with bellies on the starters!). A little pricey but all good seafood is. Kind of a weird strip mall location so you don't think it's going to be nice but definitely classy inside. Friendly service.

Excellent food and service and very nice ambiance. looking forward to going again.
Wonderful! The food was amazing Great staff Have gone back 4 times Great location

Good ambiance and great service. Good lobster rolls. Hardly any clams in the clam chowder - mostly potatoes and broth. Menu was advertised as whole belly clams. The clam starter and clam rolls we had were mostly a very spicy breading (no need to have spicy seafood) with maybe a few clam strips - saw no belly clams. Don't think these were true Ipswich New England belly clams, which is what we came for. Didn't try any other menu items. Probably won't be back.

I will start with the ambiance. The restaurant itself was extremely clean, and the decor was very east coast fishing town. The service was absolutely amazing. It was a little slow to get seated. But it was also the first Friday of lent and the restaurant was packed. We were here for a family birthday so I will give the brief food reviews everyone had: The salmon was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. It was the perfect texture and not dry at all (most places we've had salmon somehow overcook it even slightly) Tuna open faced sandwich was tender with a perfect sear. There was no chewiness or toughness like I have read in other reviews. It was very good. Fried lobster tails were again perfectly cooked and seasoned. Really was impressed that they were not rubbery or chewy at all. Perfect tenderness. Clam strips were clam strips . They were very good, tender and very easy to crush through 2 plates of them. The lobster risotto was by far the best dish of the night. Perfectly cooked risotto with a base of what I believe is their lobster bisque which is a rich delicious base! Great presentation with the big lobster claw. Crab cakes were seared to perfection and a great size. We really enjoyed this appetizer as well! The only negative per se was the lobster rolls. The bread itself was buttered and toasted to perfection with great seasoning. Like many of the other reviews I wish there was more lobster on the roll itself. I would be more than happy to have an option for upcharge to double the amount of lobster. Another thing I would love to see for the Connecticut roll would be to have an offering of their brown seasoned butter on the side to add some more flavor (I'm sure it didn't have more because it would've made the roll soggy but I wish the dish had more flavor to it which I think could be had with some added butter on the side that could be optionally used. We had a bowl of lobster bisque we dunked a bite it and it made the flavor pop). Outside of this the lobster was cooked to perfection and it really was a good dish. All in all 5/5. I can't knock them for the amount of lobster on the roll. It was a significant amount based on the current market cost for lobster. I just wish there was an option for adding more on for an extra cost.

My husband being from New England, we were really looking forward to the New England fare at this restaurant in Omaha. Unfortunately, Sand Point failed the test. The restaurant itself had a nice feel to it. Our server was very pleasant and took good care of us. But the food was nothing like we had hoped for. We love clam chowder, but this chowder was a disappointment. The chowder had no flavor. Very bland. It wasn't rich like most chowders. Very thin. No cream base. My husband ordered steam clams for an appetizer. I'm not a fan. They were the tiniest clams I'd ever seen...about the size of a quarter. We both ordered the lobster roll. The best part of the lobster roll was the bread. Crispy and buttered. The lobster didn't have much flavor. The sandwich was supposed to warm. Nope. Not even close. Someone gave us a gift card so we wanted to try it, but we won't be returning. Very overpriced too. Steam clams, two bowls of chowder and two lobster rolls with two club sodas equaled $91.00 plus tip.
