Incredible. Highly recommend…read more We love trying new things and opted to get out of the comfort zone of restaurant/bar staple foods. I recommend the Jalapeño Puppies. Little cheese filled balls with a great dipping sauce. Could have easily had 30 of these. My husband loved the Nakatomi Plaza which is a great chicken teriyaki sandwich. I opted for the Raspberry Beret and I could eat that weekly. I also chose the avocado pasta salad as my side and it was creamy and so yummy. The burger itself was unique. Who would've thought that peanut burger would be great in a burger but here we are! The service was above and beyond and our server was helpful and friendly.

Amazing food! You…read moredo have to wait a long time to be served, but I think that's part of the "experience". Currently it seems like they're only open Sunday's 10-2. We got there at 9:50 and we left around 11:30. Just standing in line. They are carry out only. Having said that everything I got (and I "had" to order most of the vegan choices to justify standing in line for so long. Ha!) was/is amazing! We got the pizza roll (sooo good!), raspberry donuts, chai sugar cookies, chocolate chip espresso muffins, blueberry raspberry buns and mushroom soup. I have sampled most of everything so far and it is all delicious. Definitely worth the wait! Cool eclectic decorating and punk rock music. Friendly staff. Bring a friend and some coffee and you can visit while you wait. Lincoln has very few vegan options and this is definitely one of the best.

Everybody at the table loved it. The soup starter wasn't my favorite it didn't have much flavor to it but if you squeeze the lemon in it gets tolerable. Too much soup though. The chicken bunha was probably the best dish forgot to take a photo. Pretty strong onion flavor. The chicken tikka Marsala although good with the right amount of spice was a little different than I was used to. Overall will be back to try again.

Wonderful restaurant in downtown Lincoln. We had a party of three and got to taste each entree…read more Invariably there is a winner... not this time. All were delicious and I would have each based on my mood. My starter drink was a Blueberry Mojito, which hit the spot. Rum, blueberry, lime, mint, and soda. Refreshing, mild, and on ice. My wife had a cucumber gimlet. "It was incredible." Food started with a unique "flight of three" soups. We each got to taste the Lobster Bisque, French Onion, and Roasted Red Pepper Gouda soups. We each picked the French Onion as the clear winner, but the others were expertly made and tasty. My entree was a starter offering, the Tuna Poke Bowl. Scrumptious, light, and filling. Served chilled in a stone bowl with chips. The Atlantic Cod and chips were great, with a couple of dipping sauces. Perfectly fried. The third dish was a lunch special, it was a pasta dish with sun dried tomatoes, roasted baby tomatoes, in a red sauce sprinkled with feta cheese. This was so good. We broke down and ordered desserts. The Green Gateau cake is chocolatey with a hint of pistachios. Also had the Apricot Napoleon Torte which is baked up in Omaha and is renowned. Service was superb, thank you Ben! with a relaxing atmosphere, classy decorations, and fun time. We will be back!
