Tuna chop salad with miso yogurt dressing
Wendy W.

I was fortunate to go to Memoir on opening night (for my birthday), several times after and today for brunch with my adult kids. Memoir never disappoints with exception of host staff could be friendlier and more welcoming. Wait staff and food are very good. My favorite dish is the tuna chop salad. Rigatoni makes people happy, as do the potato puff apps.

Corn tortilla soup
Becky Y.

What a nice lively spot! The inside decor is beautiful and slightly more upscale than I originally imagined. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating. We had a larger party and they were on it! I ordered the potato puffs, corn tortilla soup, filet mignon, and Japanese cheesecake - all of which were delicious!!! I'd definitely go back!

Milk & Cereal Ice Cream
Marissa S.

Scrumptious food, great staff, kid friendly, and overall such a fancy vibe! Our waitress was so great with our daughter that I had to start my review with praising how fun she was! She played peek-a-boo and just emailed at her so often throughout our stay. Our daughter loved our waitress! The food was as delicious as it looks in the photos! I swear we ate the appetizer in less than a minute. I split the Filet Mignon so the portion is a half in the photo. Such a perfect size especially if you want to indulge in appetizers and dessert! I hope they never get rid of the milk & cereal sundae because I'd go just for that! Our friend has the flat steak and said it was absolutely incredible. We don't live close by but we certainly will be back soon!

Pesto pasta
Kaitlin C.

We popped in for a lunch with a reservation (check out open table). The service was really not what it normally is. We sat for almost 20 minutes before having to ask for a waiter. The food was slow. Other tables were getting served right next to us. We are normally pretty quick to order and eat but this lunch turned into an hours long endeavor. The kale & farro salad was delicious!!!! The pesto pasta was okay but pretty small for the price. My husband really really enjoyed the risotto salad (Faroe Island Salmon). We'll probably be back but maybe on a weeknight in a long while.

Cheesecake
Dave B.

This is a review of the lunch menu. I had the chicken sandwich. It was good, but couldn't top the charcoal chicken that is served at dinner. The Parmesan and pepper salad dressing was great on the side salad. My beautiful date had the salmon and risotto. She loved it and she gave me a taste. Agree! We split the cheesecake and it was fabulous. The coffee was delicious. The service is superb. Our waitress (from PA) was able to track down the coffee vendor for me. We've been to Memoir twice in eight days. This is my new favorite Omaha restaurant.

Trad breakfast.  I'm a bacon snob.  Bacon was a 10/10.  I prefer traditional hash browns but this version was next best version IMO.

Stellar girls brunch spot! I wish I remembered our servers name bc she was WONDERFUL! We had an extra seat at our table and were ready for her to JOIN US early on into our experience. Atmosphere is spectacular. The high insulated ceiling, velvet chairs, dark denim like wallpaper, greenery and books up above and the GORGEOUS tile in the bathrooms. They did ALL the things designing this space. I could live here! Brunch launched with the Mimosa Bottle Service. It's a mini apothecary experience with the syrups...& don't be shy! Add multiple droppers to upgrade the prosecco in the best way possible. I would've never tried the elderflower but our server nailed it with her recommendation...YUMMMMIE! We ordered the charred Brussels and beets to start us snacking. Best Brussels ever! Sweet and Savory perfection. As I watch my friend who doesn't like beets DOMINATE the beets an even left some evidence on her sleeve. . Healthy and delish A+. Sesame crusted seared tuna on the salad was AWESOME & we finished off with cheesecake... matcha cheesecake. IYKYK CANT WAIT to come back and try Happy Hour or Dinner next time I'm in town. Also hope to have an outdoor patio opportunity sometime as it's prime location for ppl watching. A CWS place to be for sure!

Loved visiting Memoir. The food, atmosphere, and service were all great. We came for happy hour and enjoyed chatting at the bar. The sushi was incredibly fresh and the drinks were phenomenal.

Walked in here on a Thursday afternoon. Got seated at the bar. My server was a lovely lady who really took good care of me. She was also prepping the drinks for everyone. The atmosphere was cozy, clean, and classy. The interiors were beautiful; the lighting was nice. Charcoal grilled chicken was a big portion; very good for someone who is hungry. The guava squeeze was so refreshing. I really liked it. I was soo full and did not anymore have the chance to have any of their desserts which were very tempting.

Chocolate Torte
Hanay W.

Stopped by memoir during a trip to Omaha on a solo dinner. You can tell when a restaurant takes care of you during a solo dinner that they are great!! I started with the yellowtail sashimi which was fresh and the perfect starter. My entree was the Pyro Cheeseburger and was a great size, had flavor and really satisfied my cravings!! My favorite part of the entire meal was the dessert. The Chocolate Torte was delicate, rich and overall amazing. The vibe of the restaurant was perfect for a date night, night with friends or just a solo dinner to pamper yourself. It was calm and cozy. If I ever find myself back in Omaha, I would definitely be back.

Yellowtail Sashimi*
Lindsey H.

Another great experience at Memoir but this time for brunch! I had the Memoir Benedict and it was delicious! I loved that they use their focaccia bread as the base, the smoked chili, and all the fresh and roasted vegetables made it perfect. Their cocktails were wonderful and we all enjoyed the bottle service! I will always love the dark green and gold decor! It's so darn pretty and timeless. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and she took good care of our larger party. Thank you again for the wonderful experiences!

When foodies break away from the group, and meet up with other foodie folks... good conversation and memories happen! Met up with about 9 other folks for our 4:30 reservation, and INDULGED. The ladies side of the table stuck to the appetizers (hence really only appetizer pictures!) where as the men's table, definitely stuck with the entrees (therefore, zero pics!). The ladies and I shared their Creamed Kale & Bacon Dip, a few California Rolls, their Potstickers, Foccacia and Whipped Ricotta, as well as their Tsunami Roll (very similar to Blue's Tidal Wave if you're familiar!), some Memoir Fries with a spicy jalepeno aioli, and their Beet Salad. Topped it off with their Corn Margarita, which was excellent - think sweet corn folks, sweet corn. That Filet Mignon, looked DELISH with a rare presentation. I "heard" their Salmon was excellent from the other end of the table. My hubs, had their Charcoal Chicken and said it was great! I love a moody, dark, and hustling restaurant and Memoir is JUST that! For a half beat I forgot I was in congested downtown Omaha, and transported to the windy city. When the GM learned there was a table of foodies, he quickly made his way over to check in and take the temp of how the food, drinks and atmosphere were which I appreciated and stopped often to make sure all was to our satisfaction. I can ONLY speak on what I stuffed in my face hole, but there were many other pallets with me who I hope chime in!

Angie W.

This is hands down our favorite restaurant. Every time we come in, the experience is incredible from start to finish. The food is consistently amazing, every dish we've tried has been perfectly prepared and never disappoints. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. The entire team goes out of their way to provide genuine hospitality and top-notch service. A special shoutout to our favorite bartender, Krista, who always makes us feel so welcome and takes such great care of us. She's attentive, friendly, and clearly loves what she does, which makes every visit even better. You can tell this place takes pride in both their food and their people. It's the kind of restaurant that keeps you coming back again and again. Highly recommend!

Charcoal chicken
Brittany R.

The atmosphere was very nice and it was a vibe for sure. The food was amazing and everything tasted amazing. I would highly recommend coming here for a date night or just because!

They had focaccia the first time I came around 12PM and that was so fluffy, and with the sweet and savory sausage, it was fabulous! If they have it in the morning, the jalapeño cheddar bagel, had the perfect spice kick and texture. Great crunchy outside and soft on the inside, chefs kiss. This is a smaller spot, so seating is kinda limited, but it's super cute on the inside! Pink and has greenery along the window seal, so sitting the by window is a peaceful vibe. Waking up early to come here is definitely worth it!

For dessert, I ordered the whipped tiramisu, which was divine. Overall, the food was excellent, not simply mass-produced chicken, but properly cooked and seasoned, and the pasta was excellent. My son was as complimentary of his meal. The service was excellent and it was a wonderful place to unwind after a long day. An excellent choice for food, spirits, dessert, and atmosphere.

The kitchen was open, so I said to the cook, "Don't worry about it if you've already started. I know my indecision can impact people, and I don't want to be a problem." He looked at me and said, "No, it's totally fine. Would you like some veggies on the side?" "Yes, that would be amazing," I said, and walked back to my table... and burst into tears. It wasn't just what he said. It was the kind energy in his eyes. I felt someone who took pride in what he was making, and who genuinely wanted people to be happy. I found myself asking, why am I crying? Because in a world where so many people in power feel disconnected, where corporations can make us feel like numbers, being genuinely cared for in a small café reminded me how much I love humans. Most people have love in their hearts and are trying to share it in their own small ways. As the world cracks, these simple things are more meaningful than ever.

This is a case where the food carried the beer, instead of the other way around. The food was good, but not great. I did enjoy my Jambalaya, and if we return, would stick to that. I would pass on their crafted beer, opting for another offering, which is kind of sad.

Most of the highlight was the various types of burgers and fries they had, so my partner and I got two kinds, and we both enjoyed our respective meals. I had the block burger, which was as good as I imagined it to be, with juicy patty cooked to medium and every ingredient needed to make a good burger. The poutine had a lot of beef gravy and cheese curds, which made the dish a comprehensive experience to consume, rather than just fries. The duck duck goose fries were amazing! The duck confit, cheese curds, mayo, gravy, and gooseberry gastrique combination worked super well on top of the fries, because they altogether basically made it a gourmet dish that I had to eat with a fork. Finally, the sloppy nick was seasoned very well, even if we got the vegan version, which used impossible meat instead of ground beef. It was still really great! Hope everyone who visits Omaha gets to try this spot! Their wall has quite a few articles that recognized them as a locally renowned burger joint, and I could see why.

Despite the space being crowded whenever I come by, they do a great job of keeping the tables cleared and clean. Service has always been top-notch for me.
