Yay... another place to eat and drink at Midtown Crossing...
Seriously, though, this place sounds like a great addition. And there's still plenty of retail space to be occupied by actual retail and services, which are the announcements I'm REALLY looking forward to.
Looks like MTC is attracting a decent amount of "imports" from KC. Pretty awesome.

Haven't been to Blanc, but I'm biased because I enjoyed Uno, which Blanc replaced. Â I just don't see another burger place to be a big deal.StreetsOfOmaha wrote:Yay... another place to eat and drink at Midtown Crossing...

Now, if one of the big KC BBQ joints decides to come up I-29, I'll be excited. Â (If you are reading, Oklahoma Joes or Fiorella's, consider this a standing invitation!)

Exciting. Â I only hope that not all eateries/bars are too upscale and will require reservations to get in. Â They need to balance the restaurants out to attract all customers. Â Chef Burger in the P&L district in KC is a good example. Â It's basic, quick, but still worth the money and within walking distance to the heart of the development. Â That way if you are checkin it out and don't want to pay $26 for lunch, you don't have to.

We were in KC last weekend and walked in to look around blanc burgers + bottles. It definitely is white. And stylish in a minimalistic sort of way. I hear the food is very good, but we ate at McCormick and Schmick's instead. Not sure if that was the best idea as it turned out, but M&S is just an awesomely beautiful place.

They were serving food to a crowd inside yesterday at lunch too. Â I've seen a lot of people and activity there for the last week, training and getting ready.derog wrote:I drove past last night around 8 and they appeared to be having a friends & family night. Looks pretty cool inside. They had high top tables in addition to normal ones.

Went for lunch. I would recommend getting one of the lunch combos that have one of 4 burgers with fries. For the price, definitely worth it for that combo. It is, however, an expensive lunch proposition to get one of the non-combo burgers at lunch. Most run $10+ and just have the sandwich. I honestly don't know if the burger I had was $3 better than the burger and fries I could have had at the Crescent Moon. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but it just won't be a weekly lunch stop for me.

Finally Checked out Blanc on Sunday. Â Great food! Â I had the Au Pivore Burger that Big E recommended, plus we had the sweet potato fries.
The big Score of the night was this Dry Hopped Barely Wine (Beer with 10% Alcohol). Â It was called Hog Heaven and made by Avery Brewing. Â Unfortunately Avery pulled out of Nebraska for now and I got the second to last bottle.
I really wish I had my real camera for this pic, but only had the cell phone...

I had mentioned I wasn't too impressed with this place, wanted to be a little more specific.
Started out with Calamari with Lemon-Lime aioli dipping sauce. Â The aioli dipping sauce had WAY to much lemon zest or fresh squeezed lemon in it, to the point where you couldn't even taste the calamari anymore. Â I got the Au Poivre burger, the burger meat was pretty good as well as the carmelized onion. Â Pretty much for what it costs to eat there the food is not worth it. Â The one thing I was really happy about was that they had Boulevard Tank 7.

I was told last Summer and posted here http://eomahaforums.com/phpBB/viewtopic ... 55&start=0 they would be closing.
For what it's worth, the same people told me Grey Plume will close too.

God, I hope not.  I mean their chef is even being featured in Omaha's new ad campaign soon.  Wouldn't be great to highlight a closed restaurant  :?.ThatGuy wrote:I was told last Summer and posted here http://eomahaforums.com/phpBB/viewtopic ... 55&start=0 they would be closing.

What good is creativity if the execution sucks? Â
I might be the only one here happy to see it go, Â Â but most should concede the following. Â The food was overpriced and mediocre with quite possibly the worst fries I've ever had (and ala carte at that) all set against the back drop of a depressingly antagonistic orange/white decor that may have better suited for an oncology clinic cafeteria or the commissary at Home Depot's corporate offices.
Big E, I'd suggest you venture further up the street for a burger at Tommy C's.
