Dine Out Sig, Pacific Eating House

1130 Sterling Ridge Drive, Omaha


Pacific Eating House is one of three restaurants owned by a couple who moved to Nebraska from Seattle. Despite moving themselves from the Northwest, all three of their eating establishments focus on fresh seafood while incorporating local fresh vegetables and beef/chicken from Nebraska. Without even going into detail, they have LOTS of seafood dishes. At this restaurant there is also a strong Asian influence in the dishes. There are not a lot of vegetarian dishes on the entree menu, but there are several vegetarian options on the "small plates" and in the soups and salads. I have eaten here twice and really like the food (and the wine list of Northwest wines).

For starters, the Pike Place mac & cheese is $10.00, street bao buns (2) are $14.00, and ahi poke tacos are $16.00. (There are several raw seafood dishes, so read the descriptions of the dishes.) The Oregon Duet is tomato-red pepper bisque paired with apple slaw and a grilled cheese sandwich for $17.00. There are two vegetarian salads that can be paired with any of the soups (clam chowder, butternut squash bisque, or tomato-red pepper bisque) for $14.00.

The more substantial entrees range from a 14 oz. Morgan Ranch ribeye for $47.00 to a Teriyaki bowl with chicken thighs, rice, greens, carrots and toasted almond ramen for $18.00. Other entrees include a chicken banh mi sandwich ($19.00), Farm Fried Chicken w/risotto ($24.00), Pacific fish & chips ($20.50), Salmon+Shrimp+Greens ($25.00) and two different kinds of seafood tacos, $21.00 for the miso salmon or $19.50 for the mahimahi. Lots more items available, for details please see https://www.pacific-eatinghouse.com.

Please make reservations with Diana Vogt no later than 6:00 p.m. on May 24 (sooner is always better). Call or text Diana at 402-981-4012 or email fidgetydjv@gmail.com with RSVPs, including the number of people you’ll be bringing. Hope to see you there.
