WEST OMAHA. Sleek design lines, lots of black and white accents, and a minimalist approach enhance this upscale contemporary restaurant. The ambience is classy, and Café di Coppia offers two dining rooms for seating. Located in the Regency Court, one of the city's pricey shopping areas, menu prices are moderate to expensive. The cuisine is European influenced and even includes some Mediterranean and Asian entrées. The café attracts a high-end clientele, and the service is attentive. Business dress attire. Reservations recommended.

OLD MARKET. This classy, yet casually elegant restaurant is located in the Old Market downtown area. From T-bones to prime ribs and from chops to filets, Omaha Prime caters to the beef lover. Diners may pick from a variety of prime cuts, and the menu even features lamb and seafood. Although pricey, servings are filling and well worth the price. There is upstairs and downstairs seating, and, with a baby grand piano in the background, the ambience can be quite romantic. Coat and tie are optional. Reservations highly recommended.

OLD MARKET. Owner Mo Tajvar likes to set his restaurant apart by providing extra services. One extra is a private party room where businesses can host dinners or meetings. The Passport Restaurant's menu features prime graded beef as the house specialty, classic beef cuts, and seafood as well as couscous and potato side dishes. The ambience is relaxing, and the decor features a bistro theme. Service is gracious and attentive and the atmosphere extremely elegant. Business casual attire. Reservations recommended.
