    I am always looking for a new breakfast place in Omaha. Checked out Olive and Iris, which is the restaurant embedded in the boutique Magnolia Hotel. The Magnolia has a dedicated parking lot that charges a fee. However, there is also street parking and Sundays there is no charge if you're stopping in for brunch. Being located a bit away from downtown and midtown this area tends to be quiet so you typically won't find a wait here. The restaurant itself is really nicely appointed, offering an elevated upscale feel. Easy access for folks that may have mobility challenges. We were pleasantly greeted and noticed that our server was also working as maître D which seemed to be a little distracting for them. The hours at this restaurant is abbreviated for the different meals, breakfast/brunch/lunch is served until 2 PM. The restaurant reopens at 4 o'clock for dinner. The menu is somewhat limited, however, all the basics are there and looked very inviting. It became clear that there may be some service challenges at this restaurant as wait times for refills, food (which came out a little on the cool side), and just general interested at our table was not as focused as it could've been. The fruit bowl was very generous and fresh, presentation of hot dishes was your standard breakfast fare. I might try this location again just to see if I was here on an off day.

    Located inside the historic Magnolia hotel. The interior dining area is nice, modern, folksy with the upholstered pleather chairs at the table. Small and rather limited menu. We ordered the yogurt parfait, avocado toast on sour dough bread and steel cut oats and a plain black coffee. The steel cut coats is good, the oats are smaller cut, which I like. The blackberry compote is good on top of it. The yogurt, granola and blueberry parfait is good. Think it would be even better with a berry compote for added flavor to it. The avocado toast looks decent, but there is barely any avocado smashed onto the sour dough at all. It's quite skimpy. The coffee is average, so was our service, better with another staffer that had noticed our food order was not actually put in by our first waitress.

    Adorable spot for breakfast!!

    It's really nice in a new town to find a place and be taken care of by the Chef/server. Missy took such great care of us and the food was outstanding everything fresh everything made to order. Come here again anytime highly recommended.

We were in town for the holiday weekend and saw they had a Brunch Buffet ($35/per adult, $14 for kids) The staff here was amazing and so, so welcoming! I immediately fell in love with the vibe before we even sat down. They were so sweet to our little one and really made our visit worth it. The buffet layout was simple, but impactful and high quality. -Picanha Steak -Shakshuka -Cocktail Shrimp (which wasn't listed on their menu online) -Mac & Cheese (cavatappi pasta and a four cheese blend) -Honey glazed carrots -Hashbrown bake -Waffles, eggs, sausage, fruits, and salad They also had a mocktail menu that we ordered from: Matcha-Colada (coconut cream, pineapple and lime juices, and matcha tea) and Watermelon-Basil Spritz (watermelon juice, soda water, and N/A prosecco) I higggghly recommend making reservations especially for their Sunday brunch!

    We finally made it back last night, and we had a wonderful meal on the patio. The service here is…read moreso delightful, from the hostess to our super knowledgeable server. We are creatures of habit, so we had the brussells and crab cakes again as an appetizer - so delicious! My husband was feeling adventurous and had the scallops. He said they were very good, but the grits with large chunks of bacon stole the show. My short rib grilled cheese was delicious, and the perfectly seasoned fries on the side were the cherry on top. I also had a N/A Watermelon Basil spritz - yum! Beautiful night for a beautiful meal!

    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!

The house margarita and strawberry margarita were top notch. They were sweet and strong!! The 3 taco special is a great deal. The brisket tacos were awesome, and the chipotle aioli really complimented them. The rice was cooked great and the beans were tasty too. Our server was super friendly, and we were given a table with no wait time. This place was really pretty and is in a good location, next to hotels and other spots.

    Overwhelmingly average. This is a nice feeling restaurant, clean and has a modern feel to it but…read morebetween small portions, high prices and underwhelming flavors it felt like we were paying more for the *environment* than the food. You can get better, more authentic food at literally any taco truck in South Omaha at less than half the price per taco. This just didn't feel worth the money and we ended up going across the street for dumplings immediately following dinner because *nobody finished anything*. Nothing really stood out as special, which is disappointing considering each individual taco you order is $5-6. - shrimp and bacon: well seasoned and that aioli really complemented the shrimp. Not impressed that it only had 3 shrimp on it and I'm not sure if bacon was added. - Mushroom: ... this one was everybody's least favorite. It was DRY and tasted like smoke. Nothing was added to give it some moisture and it felt like an attempt to make a mushroom taste like meat but it didn't go well. - carnitas and chicken: both of these fall into the same category of nothing to write home about but meet what you'd expect. - Brisket: this one was the best of the day, hands down. I wouldn't say it saved the evening but it was the best meat on the menu. Only note was it made the single tortilla really wet so as soon as I picked it up the tortilla ripped in half. Not complaining about it though as it was the only thing that felt worth the money. - seared tuna: also shockingly dry?? It's barely cooked, how is it dry?? Bland. - El Jefe (rice bowl): once again brisket saved the day but the rice was soggy and I just wasn't impressed especially at the price point. - esquites: not up to par with elote or other esquites I've had... this was the start of our dinner and it was on the bottom with the mushroom taco. The portion size was also incredibly small. We ordered 3 for the table and none returned to the kitchen empty. Our waitress was plenty friendly and prompt- we DID enjoy the service. Ultimately though, we all feel like we wasted our money here.
