Mother's Day in Flavortown, folks. Buckle up…read more I confess... I dropped the ball on making a dinner reservation early, and when options ran low, Guy Fieri's place came to the rescue. We've been here before and had a decent time, but this was the first visit with the full crew: husband, kids, and my dad. Let's just say... we had a mix of opinions. We arrived right on time and were seated without a hitch. Our server was super sweet, though there were a couple of small mix-ups with the drinks. No harm done, and it got sorted quickly, and everyone had something to sip while we waited. Food-wise, we ordered up a little tour of the menu: Husband: Trashcan Nachos (his go-to) Me: Plain Jane Burger + Fry Trio Kids: Off Da Hook Fish & Chips Dad: Classic BLT The wait for food was pretty standard. My burger was decent, but something had a sour tang...maybe the tomato or pickles? The tomato was hot, soggy, and a little sad. I scraped it off and moved on. The fry trio, however, was the real winner. Waffle, curly, and straight fries all together? Perfection. The kids liked their fish and chips, but honestly, it was mostly chips. Two small pieces of fish were buried under a skillet of fries. I get it... "Chips" is in the name, but maybe dial it back a bit, Guy? My dad's BLT looked fine, but if his tomatoes were like mine, I doubt it gave "fresh from the garden" vibes. He said it was "decent," which in dad-speak means, "I'll eat it, but I'm not excited." Dessert was where the magic happened. We got the cheesecake and the brookie. The cheesecake? Meh. Not terrible, just cheesecake. But that brookie? Absolute showstopper. Half brownie, half cookie, served warm in a cast iron skillet, topped with ice cream, salted bourbon caramel, and toffee bits. That little skillet of joy made the whole meal worth it. Would I go out of my way to eat here again? Probably not for the main dishes. The food is fine, but for the price, I know I can find better. That said, if I'm ever wandering through the casino in search of something sweet? You better believe I'll be back for that brookie. It was Out. Of. Bounds.

This is my second visit to this particular location since they opened. Located in the Harrahs…read morecasino there is plenty of free parking and easy access. My first visit was to the main restaurant which is a dining room and viewing access to the building exterior over the Cove concert venue. Stopping over for lunch today I was under the impression I would have the same experience. I was surprised to find that the main dining room was closed, and only the kitchen area was open, which is a small and less formal, but still serving the same menu. Full table service was offered but there was no mention of the change in dining venue on their website. Apparently due to volume and staffing issues the larger dining room is only open on the weekends. One advantage to visiting earlier in the day is that you can order from either the breakfast or the lunch menu. Nice selection of appetizers, my favorite is the towering onion plate which is a nice shareable appetizer. Enjoyed the old-fashioned Philly style cheesesteak which was a huge portion and afforded leftovers for later! Recommend checking when the larger dining room is open to avoid my mistake, but still worth a trip if you're looking for some good and creative bar food!

My husband actually said it was the best kabob of his life, which was really wild to me because we eat kabob all the time LOL. It really was incredibly good though.. The pita is also super soft and fluffy. I stuck to the GF option on our first visit, but tried some of the sourdough on our second visit with no negative reactions. Service was a bit slow, but also attentive, giving a true Mediterranean vibe. I also appreciated that on our second visit, several people seemed to be out to lunch by themselves, enjoying a mid day glass of wine/reading a book- so perfect If we are ever in Omaha again, we will definitely be back! This place is a gem

It's broken up like an Italian mansion. I didn't take the time to explore. I liked seeing and hearing The chefs in the kitchen off to the side of the shared space with the full service bar. Lots of young ( under 30) servers smiling and helping with charm. I started my succulent dinner with Areni/zulal/vayots dzor, Armenia ! Quite fruity great drift in taste to a rosebud finish red wine.

What really sets this place apart is the incredible team and the way they consistently go out of their way to make every single guest experience top-notch. The manager, Adrianna, and bartender, Krista, are absolute rockstars. Krista always makes us feel so welcome the second we sit down. But it's Adrianna's genuine kindness that completely blew us away recently. After we were unexpectedly displaced from our apartment, Adrianna surprised us with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. It was such a thoughtful, human gesture during a stressful time, and it truly speaks to the heart and soul of how they treat people here.

The server was great and even gave us great recommendations for beverages in the Old Market area. Beautiful furniture and an elegant feel to Memoir, making it a great "special occasion meal" location. I've been here a couple times and couldn't recommend the potato puffs appetizer enough. The fluffy and crunchy potato served with cheese that perfectly coats the puff. Delightful. The eggs Benedict was very uniquely blended together by the pickled onion and avocado, no meat, which is a neat take on eggs Benedict. Well seasoned hollandaise sauce with a perfectly poached egg. For the mocktail drinkers like myself, they have three options to choose from. One jalapeño & pineapple, a guava orange, and one other. They pay close attention to detail, from laying the plates with the name "Memoir" facing you, to cooking your meal to near perfection. They even give the birthday person a card signed by the staff, alongside a complimentary dessert.

The other members of our party also loved their meals. I can't wait to come back and try more!

Tupelo Honey is a fairly decent place located in the downtown area of Omaha. I've been here many…read moretimes because of how good the food is. That's the main thing that brings me back. Ok the other hand, the service is rather iffy & unpredictable. The chicken & waffles is my go-to for each visit, and they have many types of delicious sides to choose from, with my favorites being the biscuits & berries, goat cheese grits, and also the fried green tomatoes. I have zero problems with the food that they serve here, they always do an excellent job at preparing whatever they need to prepare & the portions are always satisfactory. As for the service, there are days where you will receive perfect service while on others the service is not so great. Some days you will be attended to in a timely manner, while there is other days where there isn't anyone available or willing to seat you somewhere. I've also experienced instances where they didn't attend to our table to take orders until I made a complaint. Most of these instances were during days where the place was virtually empty so it's not because of the place being busy. I've also ordered take out from here before, again some instances are perfect and there's other instances where they don't tell you if a certain food is out of stock via text or call so if you ordered something that isn't in stock, you're forced to wait for them to prepare something else once you arrive to pick up your order. They also don't always include syrup or butter in the takeout bags for chicken & waffles. One minor thing I'm also disappointed about is how the portion of grits has lessened over time, going from being served in a bowl to instead being served in a small cup/mug. Overall, I certainly don't return for the service because you never really know if it's going to be a good day or a bad day for that. It's always the food that brings me back. I do want to like this place, and I do to an extent but again the service is always unpredictable. I'd still say the food is worth coming here to see how it goes.

Upon our arrival, we were presented with a selection of concoctions that defied ordinary…read moredescription. These spirits were mixed with an artistry that borders on the miraculous; each ingredient was measured with a precision that would rival the finest apothecary. They were at once invigorating to the constitution and exceedingly smooth upon the palate, proving to be the perfect antidote to the weariness of the day. One could discern that only the most superior ingredients had been gathered to produce such sublime refreshments. Upon crossing the threshold, one was instantly struck by the sheer elegance of the architecture, which seemed designed specifically to enchant the weary traveler. The woodwork was of a deep, lustrous mahogany, polished to such a high degree that it softly mirrored the flickering candlelight from the grand chandeliers suspended overhead. Rich, heavy draperies of crimson velvet adorned the tall windows, successfully shutting out the dreary chill of the exterior world and sealing within a sanctuary of warmth and exclusivity. The arrangement of the seating was a triumph of social engineering; plush leather hearth-chairs and intimate velvet settees were positioned at such agreeable distances as to afford the utmost privacy for confidential discourse, yet the room maintained a lively, convivial spirit. A gentle warmth emanated from a magnificent marble fireplace, where a crackling hearth threw a golden hue over the assembly. The gentle murmur of polite conversation, punctuated occasionally by the delicate clinking of crystal and the low, melodious strains of a pianoforte playing in a distant corner, coalesced into a symphony of pure tranquility. It was, in every conceivable sense, a haven of the highest order, where time itself seemed to slow to a more dignified and graceful pace.

The vibe is…read moresleek yet cozy, and the bartenders always seem genuinely excited about what they're mixing up. Their rotating cocktail menus are one of my favorite things about this spot -- each one has its own creative theme, and the current Halloween menu is such a fun touch. On my most recent visit, I tried the Poltergeist and the Bahama Rita on the recommendation of the bartenders -- both were absolute hits. The drinks here are always beautifully crafted and well-balanced, with a lot of thought behind the presentation and flavor combinations. My only complaint (and it's a small but sad one) is that they no longer serve entrées. I miss when Mercury had a full food menu -- their pasta and burger were truly underrated. These days, you'll only find light bar snacks, which pair well with the cocktails but don't quite replace a meal. Still, for creative cocktails, a stylish atmosphere, and great service, Mercury remains one of the best spots downtown.

That all changed last night and it was beyond my wildest dreams. You arrive to a beautiful, semi-rustic open kitchen/bar concept and warm people who sat us at the coveted kitchen-view table (note, it gets warm--I love this). We shared the Valentine's menu; two starters, two entrees, and two dessert options resulted in us trying one of everything. The starters: Crudo--our surprising favorite--contained buttery yet tart scallops we couldn't shut up about, and fresh made tortellini in a rich red pepper sauce we were spooning out at the end. The entrees: a perfectly cooked crusted, yet tender steak with alarmingly good seasoned hasselback fingerling potatoes, and tender swordfish on a bed of creamy cous cous. The dessert: tart lemon mousse cake was a refreshing end, and a dark chocolate, caramel dish with chantilly I was adding to everything. I had a glass of brut champagne with the dinner and it acted a good cleanser between the numerous tastes but my date had the wine pairing, and that too, complimented everything perfectly. Right mix of acid, salt and sweetness.
