The place is fantastic!

I appreciate what they are trying to do here also but it just falls short. The first time i was served completely burnt lasagna by the owner himself, the second time no burnt food but nothing outstanding either. I hope it gets better.

mgmlot93

I thought it was fair. Bella the manager/bartender is great but the food was not fantastic. I had the paella and it was an interesting take on the dish but not life changing.

If it's anything like last year it should be a great show.

Great owners, great food and delicious daily specials. The menu does look a little lackluster at first glance but there are some great things on there and the specials are fantastic. Also - the char buff double dip wings are some of the very best in the metro.

mgmlot93

Went here over the weekend and things have taken a terrible turn for the worse. The bacon & butter sandwich was now one of the saddest things I have seen come out of a kitchen and the wings were pathetic little over fried things. If they don't start paying attention to what is coming out of thei...

Tried it last night - we sat on the bar side and tried their 3.95 bar bites menu. Overall not bad, if I was at Village Point I would eat here again but I would not drive from downtown for it.

mgmlot93

Anyone know anything about this place? They are hiring on CL, that's all I know.

mgmlot93

Brad - we went back and I ordered those wings - they were awesome. I would actually put them right up there with Oscars (only the bleu cheese at Tap House is 100 times better).

mgmlot93

Sitting outside on the patio and only buying their drinks seems like the best option for sure. Black Oak Grill won't last long either but it cannot be any worse than Portovino. The menu for Black Oak is about as boring and uninteresting as it gets.

If you want to count "close by" places then I think Jimi D's is a decent option. Mojo fails on food, service and atmosphere - those nachos are decent as well as a few of the sandwich options but everything else is just terrible. The sushi at Ponzu is very good but the poor service and bad ...

mgmlot93

The review was a little mixed but all in all not bad. I think it was fairly accurate too. I hope they continue to tweak the menu/food and I hope they do well.

mgmlot93

I walked by here Monday when I ate at Chophouse and it didn't even look close to being ready to open. Glad they got it done and anxious to try it.

mgmlot93

I was excited about this place for the first six months after they announced that they were going to open but now it has been so long that I have lost all interest.

mgmlot93

I think it will be the best dining option there - I know that's not saying much but at least it's another option.

mgmlot93

Our meals at Crave have ranged from great to inedible. It's a shame that their food and service is totally inconsistent.

mgmlot93

I have given CL three chances and it just never gets any better. I would have to say this is in the top three worst mexican joints in town. The service stinks, the food stinks and the whole vibe of the place is just weird. I expect them to be the next restaurant in Midtown to close.

mgmlot93

I am not an expert on North Omaha dining but as far as I know the Fair Deal Cafe and Chef Mikes have nothing to do with each other.

mgmlot93

While you can't go wrong with Jacobos I learned long ago that the "real" sopt is La Guera on 24th Street (next to Burger King). It is a small grocery store with a meat/deli counter in the back. They have enchiladas, carnitas, tamales, chile rellanos etc.

mgmlot93

It is a great location. I hope they can make a go of it there. 801 Chophouse next door is my favorite restaurant in Omaha so this could really make the building a dining destination for me.

mgmlot93

The weather should be good and I can hardly wait to try Village Inn (sarcasm).

mgmlot93

I cannot wait either. I have been looking forward to it for months and months - hopefully I haven't built up too high of expectations.

mgmlot93

The rounders and fries are both pretty good and you can count on them being at their location when they promise. The owners are super nice guys too.

mgmlot93

I agree that Sortino's has the best pizza, but the best pizza in CB is Pizza King.

mgmlot93

Just have to add that we went back last night for dinner and the service was much better and my entree (the iowa lamb two ways) was the best lamb I have ever had. We had a table of 14 in the chefs room and it was a great experience.

mgmlot93

Burger Star is much better now than when they opened. I have never been impressed with the burgers at Goldbergs, Louie M's or Dinkers to be honest. I still think the best traditional burger in the Metro is Stella's. The best "gourmet" burger is at Spencers - it is awesome and it's only 6 b...

mgmlot93

Boxer has the best bbq in Omaha or CB - IMHO. Pizza King is another CB favorite.

mgmlot93

Honestly, I have never been a fan of Big Freds. I'll take Orsi, Sortinos or Mamas anyday over BF.

mgmlot93

I have to agree - the food is really good. The service is a little "off" but I think they will get all that smoothed out as time goes by. The important thing is the place looks great and the food is good.

mgmlot93

We ate brunch here today also. Very good - nice to have more options downtown.

mgmlot93

My understanding is that McFosters is vegetarian. I have absolutely no reason to go to a vegetarian restaurant. I go to Block 15 for all their awesome specials - definitely not for their vegan offerings.

mgmlot93

It was run like |expletive|. The kitchen especially - you never knew if it was gonna be open or not.

mgmlot93

We ate there in KC and thought it was good too.

mgmlot93

This is a place that I have never been to, never would go to & will never miss. Goodbye McFosters.

mgmlot93

We ate here last weekend. The food was decent and the service was good. It is definitely not a traditional Brazilian restaurant but what they have is good. The only down side is that the line really backs up since the meats are carved to order in the buffet line.

mgmlot93

Block 16 is awesome. The owners are great and the daily specials are fantastic. If you ever have a chance to try their biscuits and gravy drop everything and go get it immediately.

mgmlot93

Yeah, the food is basically Abelardo's, that's not a bad thing just saying that is what you should expect.

mgmlot93

We went to the 33rd street location last night and the food was wonderful. I hope they do well.

mgmlot93

Looks like the Steak & Shake project is back on for Omaha - with the location still out on Center.
