Upscale home-cooking at Zin Room

This was going to be a review about the rebirth of an Omaha landmark, a grand old building on 15th Street where there should forever be — and now actually is — a fancy hotel and a fine place to dine.

It was going to be a review hailing a young Omahan with an old-school work ethic, the sort of chef who greets you at the door, speed-walks back to check the food and then reappears to ask how everything is. That's Ryan Gish, a 29-year-old so obsessed with his latest venture that he's staying in the Hotel Deco above his new restaurant.

The Zin Room space was once home to the popular Redick Grill, a date-night mainstay in the 1980s.

The restaurant runs a daily lunch special from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. that includes a choice of six menu items for $6 apiece. The meals include things like a smoked chicken sandwich and the smoked Gouda mac and cheese served on a panini. Each comes with a salad, hand-cut fries or onion strings. Chef Ryan Gish said he doesn’t see the promotion ending any time soon.

Zin Room’s happy hour runs Monday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and all day Sunday. A reverse happy hour begins at 10:30 p.m. and continues until midnight. Specials include $1 off all beers, $2 off all martinis, $3 off house wine, $4 well drinks and $5 selected appetizers.

The space has a number of party rooms for rent and provides room service to Hotel Deco.

The wine list at the Zin Room includes lots of its namesake zinfandel, including Zen of Zin, the $6.99 a glass house wine, which was full-bodied and slightly spicy. The AmaZIN cocktail — the restaurant’s signature drink — blends Zen of Zin with raspberry schnapps and lemon-lime soda.

The restaurant serves three meals a day, including breakfast.

And we wanted to pose a question and try to answer it. Can the Zin Room, Gish's newly opened restaurant in downtown Omaha, successfully elbow its way into a crowded scene where Old Market mainstays like M's Pub fit like your favorite T-shirt and newer spots like the Boiler Room thrill foodies?

But hold all that for a moment.

We have to talk about the Gouda macaroni and cheese, because we can't get it out of our heads.

It's haunting us, a friendly, smoky and gooey ghoul, begging us to forget calories and return to the Zin Room again and again.

If the Zin Room has a shot, it's there somewhere in this oh-so-slightly offbeat twist to every great-aunt's homemade mac and cheese.

Recipe Revision: Try shrimp scampi sans butter

Shrimp scampi traditionally is made with a lot of butter, which can make this dish high in fat and calories. This recipe cuts out the butter and uses margarine, lemon juice and wine for flavor, which makes it a healthier option.

And the pasta we tried, dill scampi, hinted that he knows pasta, too. Served in a wide, shallow bowl, it was a mound of angel hair topped with four jumbo shrimp. Capers made another appearance, and the sauce, while creamy, wasn't heavy.
