    Lovely date night dinner with the hubby. My meal was amazing. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The veggies had the right amount of bite left.

    Nice little bistro tucked away in the corner of Hy-vee shopping plaza. Not too be fooled by location! Richard was the my server during the lunch hour and he did amazingly well with the workload he had! He was fast, efficient, communicated and had a positive attitude. I ordered the scallops for the first time ever in my life and I was pleasantly surprised! Presentation was beautiful! The taste was on point! The attention to detail, the level of expertise and superb customer service is what will bring me back for another meal! This is definitely fine dining at its finest!

    Dined here for our anniversary, wait staff was wonderful. We each enjoyed one of the nights specials, I had the Wallye dinner and the wife had the Black Angus new york stripe stead, we also had the Normandy onion soup which was delightful. The crabcake starter was delicious as well.

    I would eat dinner at this place every evening if I ever win the lottery, which is unlikely because I don't buy tickets, so I'll just keep visiting regularly. Have tried most things on the menu, nearly all of which have been spectacular, but tonight had a nearly out of body transcendent experience after eating six gnocchi. That doesn't sound like much, you may think, but six was all a mere mortal could handle after a toasty bowl of squash soup and platter of whiskey chicken. The gnocchi came with my kid's shrimp and scallop dinner. He didn't know what they were and wouldn't eat them. Too bad; he can learn later. The gnocchi fell off a butter-garlic cloud somewhere and floated gently down to the plate.

    Compliments to the chef. Food was cooked to perfection. I tried a seafood dish. Wine was good too. Long wine list. Had creme brulee for desert.Great service. Con: small portions and expensive.

    I really wanted to love this place. The food is style over substance as in it is bland. We did notice the crowd average age was older, so maybe this caters to that palate. Presentation was stunning- it just didn'ttaste as good as it looked. Service was not great, though, that could be to being understaffed. I did overhear our waitstaff complain to the hotess to "quit seating peoole". We had reservations, but I'm not sure about anyone else. We waited 20 mins before our order was taken, then just about an hour for food. We sat at a cleared table for 20 minutes, never got our desert (she took it to go at the end), and had to ask our waitstaff for our check. He was at the table behind us, wrapping silverware or something. It wasn't awful, just wasn't great.

    Great experience. Food was fantastic and service was friendly. Just by driving by I may have missed it. So glad we checked into it. Best experience I've had so far.

    Had a delicious lunch here today, courtesy of my brother. I've been in for drinks before, but this was my first time having food. Started with a soup special, butternut squash with sour cream...excellent! For my entrée I had another special, pork medallions with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley. Pork was perfect, the veggies were cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes were buttery smooth. Highly recommend this place to anyone, the only minor detail was that they were out of Coke...but there's no way that makes this less than a 5 star dining experience.

    If you want something that tastes good, this isn’t the place. Keep looking. Me and my gf decided to try this place out since it’s so close to home. Went in with an open mind not really sure what to expect. I ordered the paella and my gf got a steak special. Food came out and looked cool I guess. But the food… terrible. I’m not usually a picky eater and I was very hungry and I couldn’t take more than 10 bites. Vegetables were undercooked and flavorless. The rice and array of seafood lacked any kind of flavor. Same goes for the steak. How do you mess up a steak???? The best part of my meal was the two tortilla chips served with my plate. It’s like this chef has never even seen a salt shaker. I am still genuinely shocked with how bad this meal was and I can’t believe it cost me $60.

    Any place that plates food up as nicely as this instantly gets bonus points in my book. Went here with some friends and was blown way with the service right away. The waiter has tried everything on the menu and was able to describe the flavor, the ingredients and what he enjoyed about each entree I ask about. He was able to do the same with wines and we enjoyed a fantastic Cabernet with our diner because of his suggestion. All the food came out cooked spectacularly and plated up nicely, and let me tell you that it’s been a long time since I’ve had scallops that tasted that good.

    I had high hopes. Food was OK but the service was extremely slow and inattentive. The drinks were watered down and expensive. $18 for a very small portion of Rombauer red wine? Given the number of choices in Omaha, I probably will not return.

    We went tonight for the first time (party of 4). We had a reservation and were seated immediately, but did not even place an appetizer order for more than 30 minutes. Our waiter was running like crazy and the place was clearly understaffed. We ended up getting our food after being there for 70 minutes (no, this is not an exaggeration). I think the most appropriate term for the entire experience is - Fine. Everything was fine - food was fine, atmosphere was fine, service was fine. None of it spectacular and some of it very questionable value for the price. The place is very much a euro vibe, with very pretty presentation and smaller portions. But all the food kind of fell flat in flavor. It was NOT bad, but also not impressive at all. I was pretty disappointed in the caprese appetizer for $14 - portion size, price, and taste. Caprese is one of my favorite things to order, especially Lo Sole Mio's (man I miss that place), and this one was a real let down comparatively. Since our server was so hectic, we literally had to flag down a host to get pepper (there is no salt or pepper on the table) as none was offered or available. We did not get refills (of soda or water) after our food was delivered. And finally, we ended up having to flag someone down to actually get our check after sitting at our table for nearly 15 minutes following all of our dishes being cleared away. We are foodies, we like going to try new places and we love finding gems in Omaha. Sadly, this experience was not one of our highlights and we will not return.

    The food is always perfectly hot, with an excellent combination of flavors. It’s also a great value. Here’s a photo of my Walleye tonight. Love this place.

    Stopped in for a drink. Love the bar. Unfortunately they were short staffed. But they did a good job of servicing everyone.

  • 3/5 Will L. 9 months ago on Google
    Wierd place. Reminds me of early bird special restaurants in Miami for the over 60 set. Even the decor is bland and 80s Florida. It looks they they have a professional brigade in the kitchen but the fod lacks passion and boldness. The food is well plated and looks good. However the flavors are bland and underseasoned. The pricing is bizarre. $16 for shrimp parpadelle (which is ok), but a super bland grilled chicken is $24? The service is good but erratic. All and all, kind of a dissapointment.

  • 3/5 Daniel H. 9 months ago on Google
    Arrived with reservations at 7:00. We had requested a certain table when we phoned in our reservation which was just given to another party when we arrived. Order was taken a half hour later. Food was served at approximately 8:30. Several people arrived after our party of four did and ate and paid their bill before we were served. Enough said! Horrible service. Excuse was that the cooks wanted to make sure our food was done just right! I hope it was a joke, as the food was ok but nothing great! Won’t be back for some time if ever!

    The food and the staff are awesome! We celebrated our 10th anniversary today and had the reception there. They really made it extra special. The presentation of the food is great and are all delicious! Our guests love what they ordered. We thank you for making our day very special!

  • 5/5 Addison J. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a lovely date night there with my wife. Food was delicious with an eye-catching upscale appearance. Staff was very friendly as well. Additionally, we forgot my wife’s purse there when we left and the owner himself took the time to make sure it was safely returned. We so appreciate the above and beyond gesture and will be sure to return to dine in this fine establishment again soon.

  • 2/5 Robert S. 1 year ago on Google
    I was given several recommendations to dine here via elderly family members. I understand why they "love" this place. There is literally no flavor in any dish they serve. The happy hour menu is the only food you can order from 4-5pm...cause it's apparently 1972, despite having a full kitchen staff (it's an open concept). The two things we wanted were either not available, or the beef carpaccio was being subbed with prosciutto. Newsflash kids, these are not the same proteins, therefore you're creating an entirely different dish. The "flatbread" was just pizza, and the Mac-and-cheese was bland, flavorless, and gritty. Again, I understand why old people love coming here; they have no taste.

    First time visitors. 27th wedding anniversary dinner. I didn't know what to expect, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and service of this gem. Christy took great care of us. Really top-shelf dining and great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Linda A. 1 year ago on Google
    We had Cierra as our waitress. Everything was truly top notch from our waitress to the yummy , unique food that looked like a picture! Prices are very reasonable. Our party of three all had something different. We all just loved what we had. Love, love, love!

  • 1/5 Zach B. 2 years ago on Google
    I feel like I was robbed at gun point. Food tasted like microwaved frozen meal with no flavor at all. By far the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Highly recommend avoiding this place unless you want to have awful food and be out $130.

  • 4/5 Chad B. 2 years ago on Google
    The onion soup was pretty decent but I much prefer a regular French onion soup. Rigatoni was pretty good overall. Wife had the scallops and loved them and our son crushed their salmon. Service was excellent..we sat at the bar on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed our time there. Nice decor. Will be trying their dinner selections soon.
