Went to Hiroshi 88 and walked out for bad service (50min 1 drink no food) I am so glad I did ! Amazing restaurant, with great service. They went above and beyond. The food was excellent. Order the amish chicken plate with a side salad. Absolutely Brilliant, and love the touch with the winery in the restaurant. Thank you so much. Definitely coming back to try more. read more

We came for our anniversary and we're blown away. The food was interesting and delicious. Wine was expertly paired and the service was attentive and engaging. We had the crab tartine, duck breast, and swordfish special. Finished with the patte à bomb and a rosè. We'd drive back from KC to come again. read more

Best best best brunch place in town. Delish mimosas are not to be missed, and please, please don't skip the steak and eggs...or if it's on the menu- rabbit and waffles. Outstanding food- very friendly and prompt service. Guys- this is where you take a girl to brunch when you want to impress. read more

The Skinny Omaha's Old Market is transforming to a spot where food and drink converge in a picturesque backdrop and Le Bouillon is a gem. Loved the interior, tasty food and the staff is friendly and accommodating. They almost got the high five, but it was not meant to be :) Stop by, unlikely you will regret it. The crib Black and white. Art on the walls. Old scale near the kitchen hallway. It's simple and yet clean and welcoming. The restaurant is spacious and gives a comforting vibe. The peeps Our waiter was a bit intimidating at first, but later turned chatty, I suppose that's when he decided he's not scared of tourists (Which we obviously were). He answered our questions in detail and was available for the most part. He did forget my request for some extra bread for my dish. Strike one (not in order clearly). The Jewels We asked whether they serve espresso drinks. No. Gasp. it's a french restaurant. How can we be properly snobbish with our pinkies in the air without a latte?!?!. Strike 2. Settled for the Spritz cocktail, which was... ok. Not too sweet, not too drunk. not too impressive. It happens. We then ordered the pastry basket for appetizer. These were nice. Fresh and tasty. They were accommodated by what I believe was strawberry jam, that was good enough to to be considered home made (if they got it from a "third party", score!). For the main we went with the Eggs in Cocotte (con Chorizo, of course), and the Egg Omelet. The both tasted great. flavorful and fresh. The eggs were fluffy and the stew was hearty and seasoned well. The dish arrived in a small cast iron pot which helped maintain the temperature and kept the party going. The eggs in cocotte arrived with two small triangles of grilled whole wheat bread, which are not enough for the size of the pot. This is exactly the type of dish where dunking the bread in the stew and chewing on that glorified combo wins you the high five. Why the shooting star The service was on the slow side, maybe it was mothers day. But we waited longer than desired. I did not get the bread. No espresso. Some will think this is being picky, which I agree. The fifth star is for being picky :) Give Le Bouillon your patronage, and make sure you ask for an espresso. read more

It was our first time in Omaha and we found the Old Market area. Amidst its charm we came across this fine restaurant........ Four of us soaked up the atmosphere and fun of this restaurant.....we enjoyed the Jamon Iberico and the oysters from the Raw bar. From the small plates the stand outs were the Steamed mussels and the grilled sardines. Of the large plates the winner was the Cassoulet...with its sausage, confit duck, smoked pork and beans, and yes the garlic. It was delicious with so many flavours all teasing the tongue! We loved the food and the service was good...it is always exciting when you get a server who can talk in depth and detail about the dishes and then when you get your meal that description matches very closely....and that is exactly what happened to us on this night. Great experience.... read more

Stopped in on a whim after our flight from Atlanta for a Saturday brunch bite and were pleasantly surprised they poured us two free glasses of wine as they were just finishing a wine tasting. Loved one of them so much we bought a bottle. Also took a risk and ordered the Kaiserschmarrn, grew up eating this in Germany, and it did not disappoint. Husbands croque madame was up there with the best we've had. Will definitely be back and highly recommend checking them out! read more

Excellent restaurant! I felt the prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the food and the superb service. Portions are on the small side but the food is very rich. I cannot recommend the arroz a la plancha enough. Bonus: it happened to be $1 shuck oyster night. Our server recommended a fantastic wine to go with them, one which was new to me and a hit at our table. read more

So sad we missed out on their amazing happy hour! The ratatouille with fried summer squash blossom and the Parisian gnocchi were so tasty. I'm glad we stopped by before we headed back home. If you're ever in Omaha and want a great date spot, this place is it! Check out the cool art too! read more

We came here on a double date last night and really enjoyed it. The service was excellent and the food was also very good. I love it when a waiter is able to give a detailed description of each dish and is also willing to give his personal opinion about it. We started with the pork and prime rib toasts. Both were very tasty and a nice way to start the meal. I then had the Wagyu Skirt Steak and my wife had the Lamb Burger. The skirt steak was delicious! Perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and accompanied by perfectly cooked caramelized onions and red wine jus. I tasted my wife's lamb burger and it was also very good. The bun was super soft and delicious and the Gruyere cheese tied everything together with a lot of richness and depth of flavor. All in all, we enjoyed this place. The service and the food quality were both great. I wish I could remember our servers name to give him some props. His service and detailed recommendations helped make the meal what it was. read more

Well finally had a chance to do Le B. Where to begin? Ah Decor; It's the repainted [light grey] & re-carpeted [light grey] Omaha Classic "The French Cafe" which might have done better to have just changed the name & kept it as it was?? But anyway, I liked what has changed except for the Horrid, Reptilian art work, by Sam Mercer that really puts a strain on ones appetite. A lot of the interior is the same except that the old tables now have ugly Granite tops but oh well. What was really missed were the Blow-Up, Vera Mertz, B&W photos of a Paris market in the 60's, destroying them, a travesty if ever there was one! How could they be so CRUDE??? However, over all not bad as the original space has some really great vibes & happy moments embedded in it that come through!! The Food; I had the steak over tater tots on a bed of caramelized onions & having lived in France, one never does steak without an egg on top, so for an extra $3.00 they did an up egg on top for me, $24.00 & she had the Duck. MY steak was quite good except for the fact that the sauce was disgustingly sweet & the tater tots were totally over salted, which sort of screwed the meal!! She thought her duck SUCKED! BTW; I tasted it & I must agree because it's base note was totally Wrong! Thyme I believe! She had a salad, butter lettuce with a garlic dress & carrot. $5.00. Nothing worth mentioning! We also had their fried bread, $5.00 w olive oil & sherry which was terrible! They need to buy some great Baguette bread from La Buvette & serve it free. Service; Service was good but the server seemed to be On Garde & it being a Thursday night the place was empty except for one other group of 6 & a Hooker & a guy she was hitting on, without any luck, at the bar. This was a nice touch as it reminded me of Paris when I live on Rue de Budapest a long time ago & where every doorway on the street had a Woman of Abundant Love beckoning to those passing by!! Wine: We had the Chateau La Rame which was fun but for a wine that sells for $12.00 a bottle, I think charging $40.00 for it, even in TAX crazy Nebraska, seems a bit extreme! Summary; Overall Le B, I think, is headed in the right direction but the Chef needs to study & mature a bit more! read more

I heard about the 1/2 price happy hour oysters so we wanted to try this place. we were too late for that. We ordered 3 or 4 small plates, none of them on the menu posted here. And dinner. Be sure to order bread. It's excellent and you'll need more than they give with the apps. Shrimp cocktail, 4 of them, $14, lots of horseradish = good!; Frog legs, 4 of them, $14, taste like chicken; Shrimp toast, 2 of them, $6; Scallops, 4 of them, big ones, and awesome, $18. For dinner we ordered French Onion Soup, bowl,$9. And the Market Fish, which was Salmon, cooked perfectly, $24. Glass of wine, $9 and a coffee, $3.50. Service was excellent, dinner was excellent but the dessert, Lemon Tart, made the whole meal, really. $7. We should have ordered it FIRST.We'll come back, we really liked having a date there. It sounded to me like Brunch is the thing here, so maybe next time. Total bill $144 including $25 tip. It's NOT the French Cafe and doesn't pretend to be but it is a cool place to have dinner. read more

Such a cute not-so-little French-inspired restaurant! I would say that the food did not exactly stand out, but our overall experience was still great. I had the Pork Rillettes w/carrot butter (this resembled canned tuna on top of toast) and the Lunch Cassoulet (basically 'fancy' baked beans w/ham, duck was non-existent). Both items sounded filling and complex, and while enjoyable, were pretty mediocre in presentation and taste. The atmosphere, however was awesome! Our server was super nice, and our seat at the front by the windows made for good people watching while sipping our champagne! There are so many wonderful pictures online that I think maybe some of the items we had were just a miss for us. I would love to try out brunch here, specifically the baked eggs. Yum! read more

Maybe their was something going on with management or something was array this day but our party had a horrible experience. Our food was served over 1 hour after ordering, my uncle had to ask for an iced tea 3 times, and every single dish was heavily salted. They did apologize for the delay in service, but once they brought out the dishes, they were unsure of who ordered what. They also gave us some fries for our wait, these however, were also very salty. read more

It was late and I was cold; ran into Le Bouillon after wonderful cocktails at Boiler Room so maybe that made the craft drinks here a little lackluster. Like seeing an ok movie after reading the great book. Always do it the other way around. The toasts were fantastic, they reminded me of The Bachelor Farmer in Minneapolis, unctuous and old-worldly. The art is awful and I say this as someone who loves abstract, modern, contemporary etc art. Tacky and not fitting with the name or food. The stark white of the room and high ceilings and cheap looking furniture make the place both claustrophobic and messy yet cold and too open. What a bipolar decorating achievement. read more

My husband and I arrived shortly after opening for Sunday brunch, wait staff was friendly and prompt with services, the food was nothing short of fresh and delicious. We both had steak and eggs, healthy portion size. The egg white was a tad runny for my taste, but I was not specific as to how I would like it cooked. The only thing I would change is, I wish my waiter had offered the drink special, was not made aware of a melon mimosa until the table next to us ordered one, it looked fantastic! read more

Service, staff and waitress was excellent. Everyone was very polite. The food on the other hand was mediocre at best. Seemed that things we either bland or contained too much of a potent flavor. Prices seemed slightly on the pricier side given the French portion sizes. I will give it another go as this was the first experience but not holding my hopes high. read more

Well prepared and served food. Calming atmosphere - artwork and ambient music. Attentive service.

Eh. Went for brunch on a Sunday. Service was very attentive -- couldn't have asked for more. The toasts were also good. One companion had an "herbed" omelet that, while large, had no flavor. Another had some sort of egg on toast (?) deal that was spartan but OK. I had the alleged "Traditional English Breakfast" which was not. A full English breakfast has grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, eggs, bacon, baked beans and maybe a black sausage. That's how you run an empire, people. I received fried eggs (right), toast (right), some type of meat that wasn't quite what you'd get in England (fine) and some pretty terrific baked beans. But no mushrooms and tomatoes! Call it something else, but don't bill it as a something it's not. read more

Absolutely loved it! Between the fresh, European inspired menu and amazing Bar manager whipping up unique and personalized drinks - this restaurant is sure to impress any guest. I was there for a dinner meeting with 4 people, so we decided to order 6 small plates/appetizers to share - perfect amount of food & it was wonderful to be able to try a good chunk of the menu. Servers were very attentive, and the bar manager was absolutely WONDERFUL. Thank you for a deliciously unique and comfortable dining experience. read more

I really had high hopes for this restaurant and I was extremely disappointed. The menu was as underwhelming as the food. It's nice and open and great to people watch, however, it was nearly vacant on a Saturday night. The drinks were crafted specially for us and were really fantastic. On a side note, the lighting is horrible and the artwork is worse. I don't suspect we will return anytime soon. read more

The food was very salty, we were with a party of 4 other couples and everyone complained about how salty there dishes were, not very familiar with French cuisine but we did notice there were no salt shakers on the table :) Service was a little on the slow side took quite awhile to get the final bill, everyone was ready to go and we were still waiting to take care of our bill????? read more

Breakfast was fantastic. Delicious coffee, many fun options to decide from. I had the quiche and my husband the steak and eggs.

Hands down, the best meal I've had since moving to Omaha. My husband made reservations for my birthday and we had some friends join us.

Our friends are still talking about what an amazing meal and dining experience we had. Can't wait to return! read more

Aaaaaaah! We can't take it anymore! Have to go out and have a real meal prepared for us! And since it's our twenty sixth wedding anniversary, Le Bouillon got the nod from the dugout. This was a casual place and had the opportunity to sit a watch people from a distance. An old fashion and a Japanese Breakfast started the drinks. And the Japanese breakfast was excellent, and better than expected. Some delicious appetizers then down to some serious gourmet offerings. My words cannot describe the tastes that were all there, so I finally took some rookie photos to show just how wonderful the meal was. To put it simply...this had to be the best meal in six months, hands down. Service was excellent, the tab wasn't the bank breaker that most places do. It was just plain good and delicious. The atmosphere in the Old Market is a bit off since the CoVID thing started. No music in the air since folks are still a bit cautious. But that's okay, we just needed to step out today. And Le Bouillon did a fabulous job. Thank you for the tastes and the night out. Good on you guys! read more

Amazing. Awesome typical French setting with outstanding Beaujolais offerings. Will be back.

Atmosphere is GREAT. Service is GREAT. menu is interesting but poorly executed. French onion soup was way to sweet. I ordered steak frites, which comes with a salad. I like my steak medium (pink in the middle) it came out medium rare to rare. The frites we're good, but overly greasy and the salad, while it was a good quality lettuce, it was WAY over dressed. This place has potential for sure. They just need to pay more attention to details in the kitchen or at the window as food goes out. read more

Le Bouillon - Overly rare steak (I ordered it medium) and overly dressed salad. - French Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Fantastic night celebrating our anniversary. Across the board the food was absolutely top-notch, and I'm not afraid to say world class. Prices are so reasonable I almost wanted to tell them to raise them. $25 for a buttery rich wagyu hanger steak that was perfectly prepared and very generously portioned? Crazy. Service was good in a easy-going Midwest way, not the efficient precision of a five star restaurant. We were treated to friendly, accurate recommendations and complimentary tastings of bubbly and a white to pair with our oysters. I love bread, really. The sourdough was so perfect I shamelessly had our server box up ours with the rest of our leftovers. Dessert? Yes please. Again so reasonably priced that we each ordered one. Do yourself a favor and do the same thing. The gist is, go here. Go here often and order with reckless abandon but leave yourself time to relax and enjoy the art and people watching. I wish we would've visited soon but we will be back. read more

I must have come on a bad day (Saturday after walking the nearby farmers market). The server was either scatter brained over simply overwhelmed. The food was super slow coming o it for all tables (some got apologies, some didnt, maybe we were supposed to over hear them as all of ours). Id ordered coffee, which the waitress brought out promptly with no cream or sugar. Took another 5 minutes to get that, then another 3 or so to get a spoon. It took about 45 minutes in all for my pancakes and eggs and my wife's omelette to come out. No updates from the flustered waitress. I was going to give this place a 2 star but good God the food was on point. The pancakes were like French toast, the eggs were fluffy and heaven sent. God bless that chef, but there's a significant disconnect between order and cook or maybe they were short staffed. On a good day this place would get a 5. But this was not a good day. read more

My husband and I ate at Le Bouillon last Saturday evening, en route from Denver to Minneapolis. We found it delightful. The bread was to die for, and the salads were scrumptious (though one had perhaps a few too many pistachios). We enjoyed cassoulet and flank steak entrees, and they did not disappoint. Very flavorful. I only wish we'd had room for dessert, reportedly prepared by the same woman who makes the wonderful bread. Thank you for this gem, Omaha! read more
