Fernando's is sort of local to Omaha. It is actually an off-shoot (brothers are/were owners?) of El Bee's in Waterloo (the original).
I'd give a big thumbs up to The Grillhouse (180th & Pacfic, SE corner), too, by the way. There's something there for anybody's taste (assuming, of course, you have taste).

Is Blue the sushi joint? I was a little underwhelmed. Cool decor, though. Food - average. Same with Hiro, although I would give it the nod over Blue for quality and the good sake list. Still nothing in town that I've found that can win my heart away from Ichiban (now Sakura Bana).
I thought Roja was a chain?

First of all, it is rather pathetic that you have to go back to 3rd grade and change people's name to make fun of the name.icejammer wrote:What in the Sam Hill are you talking about Joe Blow?joeglow wrote:I also think we have established that CB is bad for restaurants.

For a town CB's size, it is disappointing that they have such a short list to offer.
Actually, I would completely agree with that statement. However, Ichiban/Sakura Bana still blows them all out of the water - having had sushi in Baltimore, NYC, DC, Scottsdale (AZ), and Mnpls (North Coast?), from the trendy to the traditional. But that's just one man's opinion. I like the traditional sushi much better than the newfangled see-how-much-you-can-wind-up-in-a-roll places.Raraavis wrote:I have eaten at Blue with people from both coasts who have said that it is on par with the best sushi places in their cities.
Anyon know of a sushi place in Fremont? Even the HyVee here doesn't have any!

OK, I'm pathetic. In no way is the list comprehensive or complete as to eating establishments, nor is such representation made. A few suggestions for Jeff to try were made, that's all. If you wish to conclude that this is all CB has to offer, then I'm not likely going to change your (closed?) mind. If, however, you're willing to expand your horizons, feel free to try these and many other fine establishments in town. I hope you do.joeglow wrote:First of all, it is rather pathetic that you have to go back to 3rd grade and change people's name to make fun of the name.icejammer wrote:What in the Sam Hill are you talking about Joe Blow?joeglow wrote:I also think we have established that CB is bad for restaurants.

I can totally agree with that statement. My girlfriend and I ate at probably half of the sushi resturants in San Francisco, and while some of the came pretty close, we still both think that Ichiban/Sakura Bana is the best sushi we've ever had.Big E wrote:Actually, I would completely agree with that statement.

Sounds interesting. What would a "seductive lounge" be?The Reader wrote:Former Grillhouse Restaurant owner Jason Himberger is launching his new cooking (and lounging) grounds this week. LiT, at 180th and Pacific, is not exactly a full-on dining establishment — according to Himberger, the place is a hip and contemporary hybrid of a “seductive lounge” and an upscale eatery. A seafood-heavy, tapas-inspired sample listed appetizers and “LiT Specialties” including Hummus Pizza, Seafood Bisque, Fresh Atlantic Salmon and a triple-threat choice of skewers in chicken, beef tenderloin or shrimp.

What is everyone's opinion of the food? I am wanting to try it before they close.
