    We ordreded the shrimp tacos with black beans and rice.

    We had a late dinner with friends at Primo's. It had come highly recommended so we gave it a try. It was quiet and slow while we were there. There were a few folks sitting and eating and a few more at the bar. It did not impress us. Our waitress was young and lackluster with her service. After we ate, we sat and talked for a bit; however, nobody came and cleared our table, so we had to ask. This is a pet peeve of mine. Now on to the food. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. Some items came out colder than thay should have. I can't honestly recommend eating here; however, if you don't hopefully your experience will be much, much better!

    I remember coming to this building when it was Petro's, they made some nice updates but has the same great feel as it used to. We ordered the queso and chips, as well as two meals, it was more than enough food. I got the chicken flautas which you choose two sides, I went with the street corn and frijoles charros. The flautas were crispy filled with chicken and came covered with sour cream and guacamole, delicious! The street corn was yummy and creamy. My fiancé had the chimichanga, it was massive! If you're looking for great food and huge portions stop in.

    I just love the outdoor seating area. Plenty of space that you can reserve. Getting there is made easy by a dedicated parking lot and HC access. Special lunch menu available daily until 2 PM. Allows for a smaller portions that are probably sized for what we should be eating - all at a fantastic price. Service is great. If you sit outside in the middle of the afternoon, you may have to go and let them know when you need something but it's pretty laid-back. I've been here now, three times in the span of a month and see myself as a regular at this location Food is delicious and I just love their street corn side.

    Sunday funday right? For some reason just the thought of a patio with some chips, salsa and guacamole sounded right up our alley. Swung by Primo's and shared some, along with some kick-ass shrimp fajitas, tacos michoacán, watermelon candy shot, and Dos Equis (on tap!). ALL of it was superb! I usually tack on a chile relleno al la cart but I was committed to the fajitas. Looking for a great place to smash some chips and salsa with a great outdoor patio, I'd definitely give Primo's some thought before you head west. Service was fabulous and I'm telling you, you cannot beat their outdoor patio!

    Dropped in for lunch based on the good vibes from a previous visit. Good food and service. Chips were fresh and tasty. I chose the Chicken Chimichanga with side salad and my girlfriend had the #3 Lunch of a Cheese Enchilada and Chicken Taco which were very good. A pleasant dining experience indeed.

    Primo's was one of our favorites when we lived in Council Bluffs, and now having one in Omaha is great! This has been here for a while now but my first time dining in for a meal. We were super impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant and the speed of service over lunch, despite a big rush after we sat down. Everything came out fast, hot, and very large portions! I tried their chicken enchilada and taco lunch special. It's a great deal with 2 sides included. Highly recommend the fried taco shell! Super crunchy and flavorful with the beef. Their street corn side is also big on flavor and not super spicy. I'd recommend coming here anytime for great Mexican food and great service!

    We waited too long to visit this relatively new restaurant in the neighborhood. Located in the former Petrow's building, we were glad to hear the geothermal heating/cooling system is still in use and working well. They've added a large circular bar to the back/north end of the space, with TVs which I'm guessing are usually tuned to sports. Fun fact: they serve both Coke AND Pepsi. But the food - it's amazing. We tried a lunch combo with enchilada and fried-shell taco and it was soooo good! We also had a torte with fries, and I feel awkward saying this about a Mexican restaurant but - the hand cut fries alone are worth a visit!! We took home have the sandwich and enchilada and are already dickering about how we plan to share them Next time I hope to get there for breakfast - it looks amazing!

    Oh my , these fried , char grilled bone in wings are so delicious!…read moreCannot wait to enjoy them again. Servers were right on the spot. It was so busy , yet being sat, and served seemed fast ! Nothing fancy ! Comfortable, I liked sitting by the windows. Only one toilet in each bathroom. So you may have to wait awhile there. Just writing this makes me hungry for those wings again.

    Everett's is one of those places you'd probably drive past if you didn't know it was there. It has…read morethat tucked away dive bar feel, but the food is on a completely different level. My wife and I both ordered the Everett's #2 with pulled chicken, coleslaw, and BBQ sauce. Everything just worked together perfectly. The chicken was tender, the slaw added the right crunch, and the bun tied it all together. It was one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you just look at each other and know you made the right choice. We also ordered the Saucy Rossy wings and they were the perfect heat level for both of us. Not so mild that they're boring and not so hot that you're suffering. Pro tip: get them fried and grilled. The extra texture and flavor are absolutely worth it. My wife is a total Brussels sprouts snob and she was absolutely in love with theirs. The funny part is that I'm usually not much of a Brussels sprouts person, but I kept asking for more off her plate. That alone should tell you how good they were. The fries were okay. Nothing that stole the show, but nothing to complain about either. The service wasn't the best during our visit, but they also had a 30-person table they were dealing with, so it was completely understandable. Even with that, the food was so good that it's already a top 3 meal for my wife. We'll definitely be thinking about those sandwiches, wings, and Brussels sprouts until we're back, and I don't think that'll take very long.

    Loved this place!…read more Omaha was such a surprising place for its range of high quality food. Memoir was only a few blocks away from our Moxy Hotel. We were able make a reservation on Open Table. Food (5/5): We had some wonderful food here. We had the following: TSUNAMI MAKI inside * shrimp tempura, crab mix, cream cheese / outside * crab stick tempura, spicy honey mustard, sweet soy, sesame seeds (8 pcs) WAGYU MEMOIR DIP* - smoked shaved beef, crescenza cheese, horseradish aioli, french bread, fries or simple salad Both were really delicious. For some reason, I missed the the "dip" was a "French dip sandwich" - I thought tit was actually a dip (haha). We split the sandwich as it was huge, and then ended up ditching the bread and adding the beef to the fried rice, below. BEEF FAT FRIED RICE - egg, snow peas, carrot, scallion Service (5/5): Server was kind and efficient. Ambiance (5/5): Cool, modern and upscale vibe. We had a cool corner booth. Loved the atmosphere.

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.

    One of my favorite restaurants in town! The restaurant has a great atmosphere, but what really…read morestood out to me was its mission and commitment to creating opportunities within the community. To drink, I ordered the Açaí Cosmopolitan, which was refreshing and well-balanced. For dinner, we shared the crab and sweet corn croquettes, braised short ribs, and scallops. Every dish was excellent. The croquettes were crispy on the outside and packed with flavor, while both the short ribs and scallops were cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. It's always nice to find a restaurant that delivers both great food and a meaningful purpose. Between the delicious meal, thoughtful service, and mission behind the restaurant, Ooh De Lally is absolutely worth a visit.

First, our entrées arrived only about five minutes after the appetizer, even though we had not finished it yet. Second, both entrées arrived cold. I ordered the chicken lasagna, and it tasted reheated and was still cold. My girlfriend's short ribs were the same. We sent both dishes back and ordered burgers instead. I asked for mine medium, but it arrived well-done. What disappointed us the most was that neither the manager nor the chef came to the table to apologize or address the situation. Unfortunately for them, we have both worked in the restaurant industry for years, and we know the proper protocol. At the very least, a manager should approach the table when a guest sends a dish back. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this restaurant.
