Well the rhubarb is everything they say good good good. And the rhubarb devil eggs so good. We start how tender the corn beef and taste was the rye bread grill to nice crisp and the sauce with the mustard made this sandwich. The black stone did not disappoint
The original home of the rueben did not disappoint. We weren't starving so we shared a double. The picture speaks for itself. Thick with tender slices of corned beef, mild Kraft and dark rye bread that was surprisingly mild in flavor. Almost too mild for me but still a delicious sandwich.

The Orleans Room is a beautiful restaurant located within the Kimpton hotel. We really enjoyed our breakfast here and the service was both quick and good!

The Orleans Room is a highly recommended destination for a delightful dining experience, located in the classically restored 1920's Blackstone Hotel of Midtown Omaha. This restaurant is home to the original Reuben sandwich, an American sandwich icon known for its chunky corned beef, very dark rye bread, and minimal Thousand Island dressing. The restaurant offers excellent dishes, including the standout Reuben sandwich and a variety of appetizers like the sweet corn soup and outstanding deviled eggs.
The bar area is spacious and well-stocked, featuring amazing cocktails in a pleasant atmosphere with very good wait staff. The menu showcases a range of options, including the turkey avocado club, and includes the uniquely created Butter Brickle Ice Cream from the 1920's. The elegant design and pleasant lighting create a sophisticated ambiance, making it an ideal spot for dates, family gatherings, or business meetings. Dining here is a step back into a piece of American culinary history, and the whole experience is often described as perfect.
Recent reviews mention that the food is good but can feel overpriced, especially for items like a single slice of sourdough bread or frozen potatoes with flavor packets. The coffee was described as not very strong but hot, and the wait staff was noted as very nice and tentative. Others have described a wonderful experience, praising dishes like lobster deviled eggs, the clubber, and the afternoon tea, which features a preset menu. Guests also appreciate the atmosphere inside the historic Cottonwood hotel in the Blackstone district and often mention exceptional service, with some recommending specific servers. Overall, visitors find the experience enjoyable, with many highlighting the delicious food, great service, and charming ambiance.
