All around a great place to start your day! You grab a menu at the counter then go back up to order. Once you do, they bring out the food to you and refill your water glass as they are in between orders at the counter/bringing out food. I had the super chai and they noted that they don't add any milk or sweetener, so make sure to ask for it... which eventually I did, but by itself it undoubtably was a great tea! This and the crumbly scone with rhubarb chunks and butter on the side were amazing! The sandwich had a very thick and fresh slice of tomato and layers of fluffy egg. The Brioche French toast having extra crispy bits of batter, alongside the nut butter syrup.

Comfort food in a casual setting, but with a wait…read more I was recommended checking out Block16 by a friend while in town. There was already a wait by the time I got here at 5:30pm, and the line steadily grew with the dinner rush. The interior can't quite decide what it wants to be, with some decorations. At least there's a good amount of seating, including a large communal table inside that has plenty of seats. Staff were friendly. I got a Block Burger. Very standard looking burger with all the components to a typical burger, but the meat was great! Tasty, cooked medium, and had both a slight crisp with juicy interior. Would recommend for a casual bite, though there is a wait.

We ordered several appetizers and had drinks. The servers were friendly and the food was delicious. The Crudo was fresh and bright with a bite of spice. Burrata was soft and creamy with tamarind, orange and mint. Highly recommend the Steak Tartare the meat was velvety and the timmur chips had a great crunch for a contrast in texture. Lastly, you can't go wrong with an order of Momos, we got them steamed pork and I could have had 3 more orders. We'll definitely be back!

This time was Crudo, fried momos, and scallops. The crudo was tender and tangy with a slight spice. The fried momos had a crisp outside with flavorful pork. And the scallops? Beyond! A rich, buttery taste on a bed of lentils. I don't know how but the combination made the already great scallops, really elevate. The interior is cozy and dim, with table lights to create intimacy. You can watch the semi-open kitchen or look out through their large windows. Service is great, as they work as a team. Will definitely be back!

Availability of service was inconsistent when I stayed there, mainly breakfast (a couple days there was just no chef during their open hours).

Hopefully they make some improvements!

We grabbed dinner before going to The Orpheum on a Tuesday night. The restaurant is on the ground…read morefloor and has a seating area with various tables an a bar that seats about a dozen people. We wondered if we'd need a reservation, but it's much more casual than that, so none is necessary. The menu has a few entrees, handhelds, appetizers, and salads. The night we were there, one dessert was available as well. I should have taken a picture of the menu, but it is one page and a bit abbreviated from the one I saw at ZMenu and on Facebook. The bartender was the server for the bar and all the tables, but was able to keep up pretty well. We each ordered a glass of wine and they didn't have that one, so he upgraded us at no additional charge. For dinner, I got the Chicken BLT - it was very tasty, with fresh avocado, tasty bacon, fresh tomatoes (in March in Nebraska!), and tender grilled chicken. My wife got the Rice Bowl and added Salmon, Also, very fresh, tasty, and flavorful. Prices are on the high side, but not unexpected for a nice hotel. The rice bowl with salmon was $24 and my sandwich was $22. The wine selection was good, and they had a decent hard alcohol array as well. Wines were about the retail price of a bottle for each glass, and martinis and drinks were around $16. Service was good. Definitely worth a visit if you're staying here or to stop in for a casual bite to eat.

Tupelo Honey is one of my favorite restaurants! The food is always full of flavor, but my absolute…read morefavorites are the fried green tomatoes and the fried chicken. The fried green tomatoes are crispy, flavorful, and so good, while the fried chicken is juicy, seasoned perfectly, and has that delicious Southern comfort-food taste.

Tupelo Honey is a fairly decent place located in the downtown area of Omaha. I've been here many…read moretimes because of how good the food is. That's the main thing that brings me back. Ok the other hand, the service is rather iffy & unpredictable. The chicken & waffles is my go-to for each visit, and they have many types of delicious sides to choose from, with my favorites being the biscuits & berries, goat cheese grits, and also the fried green tomatoes. I have zero problems with the food that they serve here, they always do an excellent job at preparing whatever they need to prepare & the portions are always satisfactory. As for the service, there are days where you will receive perfect service while on others the service is not so great. Some days you will be attended to in a timely manner, while there is other days where there isn't anyone available or willing to seat you somewhere. I've also experienced instances where they didn't attend to our table to take orders until I made a complaint. Most of these instances were during days where the place was virtually empty so it's not because of the place being busy. I've also ordered take out from here before, again some instances are perfect and there's other instances where they don't tell you if a certain food is out of stock via text or call so if you ordered something that isn't in stock, you're forced to wait for them to prepare something else once you arrive to pick up your order. They also don't always include syrup or butter in the takeout bags for chicken & waffles. One minor thing I'm also disappointed about is how the portion of grits has lessened over time, going from being served in a bowl to instead being served in a small cup/mug. Overall, I certainly don't return for the service because you never really know if it's going to be a good day or a bad day for that. It's always the food that brings me back. I do want to like this place, and I do to an extent but again the service is always unpredictable. I'd still say the food is worth coming here to see how it goes.

The steak was cooked perfectly! We were sat right upfront to over look the old market and it was clean and I loved the home feel of the space, very casual and comfortable. Our server (ugh, can't remember his name) was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. The ONLY thing that was a downside is that on yelp it says the restaurant is pet friendly and that is not the case. We traveled with our puppy and we had to leave her back at my daughter's apartment downtown which was a big bummer. Other than that, not one single bad this to say.

I tried the Defense Against the Dark Arts and the Lava Lamp Based Security System. The Lava Lamp had boba and blueberries that made it feel like a real lava lamp, which I'd never seen before. I was a little intimidated by the Defense Against the Dark Arts with the Campari and artichoke bitters, but everything combined well and made for an amazing drink.

Our host was incredibly warm and welcoming, and she made a genuine connection with us from the moment we arrived, making us feel like more than just guests. Our server was fantastic -- knowledgeable, welcoming, and patient. She shared that the chef had traveled to Spain and brought some of that culinary influence into the menu, which made the experience even more interesting. I loved the high-tech touch of being able to explore the menu and wine selections on the tablet. You can take your time learning about the ingredients and the different options without feeling uncomfortable asking questions. It made exploring the menu feel fun and approachable. The food was outstanding. We had the octopus, beef tartare, steak, fried olives, and the green sauce that accompanied our meal. Everything was delicious, with beautiful balance and just the right combination of flavors. One of the things that really impressed us was the presentation. The cornbread was shaped like little ears of corn and was absolutely delicious. Our server explained that they use sous-vide techniques, which added that high-tech, creative element to the experience. The attention to detail was incredible. We also enjoyed wine, a mojito, and a Tom Collins, and everything was excellent. The décor was also beautiful and inviting, making the whole restaurant feel special without being intimidating. From the food and presentation to the technology, drinks, service, and atmosphere, every detail seemed thoughtfully designed. Dynamite is definitely more than just a meal -- it's an experience. We had an amazing time and would absolutely come back!

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!
