Venue Restaurant & Lounge

We have always had positive experiences here. A great place for a celebratory dinner or date night. I always remind the server that I have celiac and then double check that the food is gluten free when it comes out.

Regularly go here for date night. We prefer to sit on the bar/lounge side of the restaurant. Bar staff is extremely knowledgeable about gluten allergies. Food is delicious. Never had an issue or gluten reaction.

Great food. The gluten free crab cakes were amazing. Everything was clearly marked on the menu and the staff knew what questions to ask. We had the brussel sprouts, crab cakes, steaks, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. There was one gf dessert, vanilla creme brele. It was delicious! I did not get sick at all!

Service was good, but they did not cook my husband's steak properly until the 3rd time, so that took a little longer than expected. (He wasn't being picky, he asked for medium rare, they brought medium well and then rare.)

This place is incredible! I visit my friend in Lincoln yearly and we found this place on GF finder and decided to give it a try. It is now our annual friends dinner out. The crab cakes are AMAZING!!! They give you GF toasted breast (just a bun) but smother it in delish butter. The scallops and shrimp risotto are incredible and creme brûlée for dessert completes the perfect meal. The service is also impeccable! As someone who travels ALOT and has experienced some great gluten free food, this place is in my TOP 3 EVER!

Excellent and many safe options for celiacs. They also are trained in gluten-free protocols. I had the shrimp and steak with a side of risotto. They only have one gf dessert option, which was disappointing, but several good menu options.

I stopped at Venue while traveling through Nebraska. It is a lovely restaurant easily accessible from I-80. The staff was very knowledgeable about Celiac and prepared my food in a dedicated kitchen space. The menu clearly notated which items were available GF. The entire staff from the hostess to servers were extremely knowledgeable. The menu was robust with numerous selections ranging from appetizers to lunch to dinner entrees. GF drinks were available from the bar. I was there as the restaurant started happy hour and the server made sure to speak with me directly to assure me they would prepare GF options should I want. The atmosphere was upscale casual providing both lounge seating as well as a variety of seating options in the main dining area. Should I ever find myself back in Lincoln, Nebraska I will definitely make time to have a meal at Venue.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Definitely Celiac friendly place with wonderful servers and food. Nothing beats Nebraska corn fed beef. Don't miss the place.

My celiac husband and I eat here fairly often. We like the wide range of appetizers but usually get the calamari. He most always gets one of their steaks with mushrooms and mashed potatoes. They also provide gluten free bread, which is literally a toasted and buttered bun but it’s pretty good!

Had the filet mignon with an egg on top, ratatouille, and asparagus and it was PHENOMENAL. :) waitress wasn't super knowledgable but items are marked on the menu and she double checked with the kitchen before sending in the order. Didn't get sick and it was the best meal I've had in a loooong time. The price is worth it!

Staff very knowledgable on celiac disease.
