    2 stars because the tacos & aguas frescas were good. Other than that, our table was dirty and service was terrible.

The first thing I noticed is that it's in kind of an unassuming part of Downtown Omaha. I'd call it off the beaten path for sure, and after chatting with some folks I know in Omaha I got the vibe that it maybe isn't in the most common part of town to explore as a tourist BUT I kind of loved that. This part of town feels lived in, authentic, and maybe a bit up and coming, like it's going through it's own sort of revitalization. All of that being said, I felt safe, and I knew I'd love dining here when I approached the building and there was a group of regulars gathered outside soaking up the sun that greeted us. One of them said "those are the days" to his buddies, upon seeing us with two little kids in tow and I honestly enjoyed hearing that little reminder to try and soak up these long but important days with our girls. Once inside I had some of the best hospitality I've had ever at a restaurant. The server was top notch - so friendly, answered all questions, and really made us feel at home. I'd return just for the vibes and service alone. We ordered burgers as it's in the name! They were good - I was I think expecting to be blown away given the reviews and blown away I was not, BUT I was really impressed with the onion rings, the burger was solid, and I'd not hesitate to return. The cherry on top? The owner was making the rounds - Louie himself! - and he was so kind, and thoughtful. There is something to be said about someone taking pride in what they do and I think that really came through here. Overall you can't go wrong stopping in here for a meal - I promise you'll enjoy it!

I would say the restaurant reminds me of a church basement, simple tables and chairs. The exception would be the nice bar and flatscreens along the north wall. My wife had a ground beef taco, and a chicken enchilada. Both were very good, and very inexpensive. I had the carnitas tacos, which were utterly amazing. I haven't had better anywhere. The refried beans and rice were fabulous as well. My wife will get a meal next time so she can eat her own rice instead of 1/2 of mine! We also had margaritas, which were really very good, and I don't even really like margaritas. Everyone was very friendly, and the food was quickly prepared, very inexpensive and most importantly, delicious. It's highly recommended!!!

We had to stop her to get a refill, I would understand if it was busy like they normally are but this was insane. The bar had about 4 people there & they all seemed to be more attentive and flirting with them lol I get it this is a local spot pushing 50s so flirting may be new to them, but let's serve and attend to the only other table there. The food? We ordered two beef taco combos and blanco queso. The tacos are extremely greasy, one bite you have a puddle of oil. No seasoning on the ground beef. Queso blanco tasted like straight up velveeta in a bowl. The only good thing was the tamale.

    Youngest Omaha Granddaughter (YOG) is the only one of my grandkids who is a committed carnivore…read more She wanted steak for dinner tonight. We tried to get last-minute reservations (nobody even answering the phone at the Drover - boo) so we turned to a new choice flor us: Johnny's Cafe, a 100 year Omaha institution. Nice to be old; we were able to score an early--bird reservation. Where YOG ordered... ...Mac n' Cheese. (She said restaurant steaks aren't as good as PopPop makes at home, bless her heart). While waiting, we enjoyed nice fresh rolls (yay!) with a chives and cottage cheese ball (not my taste but it's a signature item). Daughter ordered the Petit Filet; it was a bit overcooked but she ate it (bless her heart). I ordered the Prime Rib. It was tasty - perfectly cooked but less tender than what I normally experience. It had no real seasoning crust, but it did have a lot of external silver skin/gristle that should have been trimmed off before cooking. But the meat was tasty, and the price/value was very good. We ended the meal on a high note, sharing Caramel Chocolate Decadence. It was outstanding, marred only by YOG's efforts to shield it from the rest of our forks. Service was exceptional: friendly but not familiar, attentive but not cloying, informative and professional. Kudos to management. So: overall not the best steakhouse I've ever eaten at, but far, far from the worst. (Oh, and YOG tasted all of our steaks. She said they were good but PopPop's are better. Bless her heart !)

Johnny's was running a dinner for 2 anniversary special which included soup or salad, appetizer, entree and side, and dessert for $90. I ordered a salad with bleu cheese dressing and strip steak with mashed potatoes, and then we split the shrimp cocktail appetizer and chocolate caramel decadence for dessert. Complimentary bread and cheese spread were amazing! The side salad was very small, very boring, and very watery, but the shrimp cocktail was exactly as expected. Then the steak I'm a little conflicted on... it was cooked and seasoned perfectly but had a lot more fat than I'm accustomed to - and not just on the edges. The dessert though... the only "conflict" there was that I felt like I needed to go to confession after eating it. Decadent indeed. Service was fantastic!

    Amazing Omaha Gem: Memoir is a Must-Visit!…read more This was my second visit to Memoir, and I'm simply blown away. This spot is a 10/10--glorious, delicious, and an absolute vibe. The food is incredible, the space is stylish, and the service is top-notch. I brought my mother, partner, and our 8-month-old, and we all had the best time. Appetizer Highlights (Run, Don't Walk!): We started with three appetizers, and all were phenomenal: Potato Pouffs: Seriously one of my favorite appetizers ever. They are creamy and potatoey inside, served with an incredible aioli. Whipped Ricotta: Served atop the lightest, most flavorful focaccia I've ever tasted. Brussels Sprouts: They absolutely rule. Entrees & Drinks: I enjoyed the Herbal Tree drink (light, refreshing, and comes with unlimited refills--bonus!). For the main course, I had the Salmon over Sweet Corn Risotto. It tasted exactly like summer, even on a chilly fall day; I'd 100% get this again. My mother, who had never ordered steak and eggs before, took a gamble on their version and was thrilled. It's possibly the most affordable and elevated version I've seen, featuring a beautifully cooked steak with chimichurri and a super elevated potato cake (the hashbrown). Verdict: We are so lucky to have Memoir in Omaha. Go make memories ASAP!
