If you go when they're not busy, you really get to see the depth of the staff's knowledge. I was able to walk around with an employee as he explained the differences between the oils I was tasting. It was nice to have this personal touch and clearly see their passion for their products. I've never had a bad quality oil here either. Some of the flavors may not be my favorite, but it's neat to be able to try them.

The shop has changed owners since my review 3 years ago but it still offers the same great service…read moreand excellent products. I believe they even have a larger selection of products now. I've discovered a couple of new favorites -- the cucumber melon and jalapeno lime balsamic vinegars. These are a little thicker and can be used as a salad dressing by itself. At only a few calories per tablespoon, this is a much healthier low cal option than traditional dressings and tastes fantastic. I use a drizzle along with a sprinkle of salt & pepper on cucumbers and many other veggies. I like to joke that a dash of the right balsamic can make anything taste good! I also recently purchased an almond crème balsamic that tastes great on fruit, cheesecake, ice cream and yogurt. Of course it is pricier than a vinegar you would get at the regular grocery store but so much higher quality and so worth it.

In my crushing distress at Licorice International closing at 4pm on a Saturday, I wandered around…read morethe Haymarket lost and crying (okay, not literally crying, but too close considering what was at stake). Suddenly, a beacon of light shone down and directed me to Oliverde! Breads, oils, balsamic vinegars! These good friends got me through that tough time with plentiful samplings of bountiful flavor. My mood vastly improved, I left the store almost skipping with a $30 sampler pack - hand selected by yours truly - containing blood orange olive oil, sesame oil, garlic olive oil, chocolate balsamic, espresso balsamic, honey ginger white balsamic. I heard they're opening one in Omaha also, so bring on the flavors.

We are both obsessed with cooking and the variety of oils that this place had was amazing.

When you first walk in the door, this shop appears to have the potential to be a small Williams…read moreSonoma or Sur la Table, but the similarities end when you spend a few moments trying to find something specific. Certain item sizes, colors, model variations, etc. are always "out of stock", leaving you frustrated that you wasted your time going to a brick-and-mortar store, and ultimately having to go home and order the product online. I tried to give this store a chance, but after many, many experiences like that over the course of several years, I have given up hope on Habitat entirely. I haven't been there for over a year, but the older (unfriendly) lady at the cash register outright lied to me about product availability, saying that a brand of bowl only came in the size and color they had in stock -- all while I was comparing other colors and sizes on my phone, available from vendors around the country. Sometimes they have something in stock in small quantities, and if you miss out, they may not have it again for months; and I don't mean obscure seasonal decorations, but cooking essentials that are needed year-round. Everyone complains that local stores are going out of business because of internet competition, but I think that's largely an excuse made by dud business owners. For example: right next door is Hobby Town USA which has an amazing supply of products, competitive prices with online giants, and the gumption to do special orders for rapid delivery if you need something they don't have. Habitat, by comparison, seems like a place that "wants to act" as if they're a serious cooking store, but then doesn't want to put in the effort or investment to stock the product quantities and varieties needed by true, hardcore foodies.

I really only check out the cooking side of the store; the home decor section is lovely but isn't what I came for. If you need several choices in size and brand for springform pans, or you want a wooden lemon reamer or a citrus zester, this is the place. They have free recipes set up in a drawer on a table; a select collection of cookbooks and foodie books; spices (Madagascar vanilla; no Tahitian, alas, but no one seems to carry that); a small selection of high-end chocolate bars; silicone baking sheets...well, it's a good gourmet cooking store and if that sounds like fun to you you'll love it.

As it was, the woman behind the counter offered to let us taste any of the vinegars before buying them. And thank goodness we did. I picked the cranberry pear balsamic vinegar and it was incredible! I honestly could have drunk a whole cup full of it, it was that good. I had it on my salad for three dinners straight starting that night! When my little bottle runs out, I may have to mail order more, since I live very far away. I also took advantage of the bulk option for spices and other delights, buying a small baggie of butterfly pea flowers, which you don't find just anywhere. I really wanted to go back the next day to try more vinegars, but I knew I couldn't fit any more in my luggage, so I'm just living off the memories of my one visit!

We ordered cocktails and Calamari for our appetizer which was perfectly done and lightly breaded, the best we've ever enjoyed. Tasty homemade rolls with butter and Seasoned Olive Oil came with our creamy soup and salad. The Seafood Alfredo was to die for, the creamy sauce paired perfectly with huge shrimp, mussels, clams and scallops. The creamy brandy sauce that enveloped my husband's order was delightful. Our service was professional and accommodating. We never felt rushed, it was a leisurely dining experience. My only regret is not ordering the Tiramisu with a cup of coffee to make the perfect finish. Next time. The prices are totally reasonable for such delicious offerings. It reminded me of the old Legion Club, The Nebraska Club and Tony and Luigi's. All three of which are terribly missed. Lincoln is so lacking in providing a relaxing, lovely dining experience but now there is one restaurant we will gladly patronize. Thank you to the Chef and to all the kind staff for a memorable evening.

I got the Carsoni (pesto) and did both chicken and shrimp which was $22, it's enough for two meals though so this is fair. The sauce was flavorful, good consistency of oil and basil. Loved that it included mushrooms but could have used more of them in it, also had bell pepper and broccoli. I'm not sure broccoli goes too well with the pesto dish, but it was steamed well and soft. The shrimp were huge and they had 4-5 in the dish. We also did bruschetta as an app, and loved the fresh tomatoes/garlic/herbs on top. Loved the dipping sauce with the bread as im a balsamic/oil freak. The soup was just okay, it was a creamy chicken/potato but it was very pureed and not quite what I was expecting, I'm not sure there was even a chunk of chicken in it. I've definitely had better next time, I'll be inclined to try the salad instead. Drinks were fun, I enjoyed the black raspberry margarita flavor and a limoncello spritz although both appeared a bit too watered down and not too strong. Service was fine, however hard to really judge since we came during mid-day late lunch and I'm pretty sure we were the only table there.

So much to say... I'm visiting Omaha a few times a year and Semo has been on my list of restaurant…read moreto try for a couple of years and I'm so glad we finally got to try it. We were welcomed by Paris who would be our waitress for the evening. She's very personable and you can count on her for recommandations. A little glas of sparkling wine as a palet cleanser and to put you in the mood and we were ready to order. We decided to share an order of bread and butter and the radish crudites. Both really it the spot. The bread we prefered was the challah and the whipped ricotta that comes with the radish is so good. We also had some Count of Monte Cosmo cocktails After Paris recommended it I went for Campanelle with pistachio pesto and my husband chose the halibut. I love pasta and you can definitely tell those are made from scratch. The pesto was very good not too oily and very flavorful. The fish was cooked to perfection, crispy crust on one side, melty on the other side and it made a perfect combination. It is served on a bed of lentil hummus with fennel and radishes that adds some earthiness and blends really well with the fish. We shared the birthday cake for dessert topped with cake batter ice cream and sprinkles. The cake is made from scratch (and gluten free) and it's to die for. My husband is all about ice cream and with this dessert he couldn't care less. The cake stole the show. We had a little chat with the bartender (I'm so sorry I should have asked for your name) after having hesitated between the Sumocello and Clemencello (both homemade) and she recommanded the Sumocello. Based on smell it's a winner. It just smells so good and it tastes as good as it smells. The service was outstanding. The food speaks for itself but having waiting staff that cares and shares is a huge plus to me (being european). We had such a great evening. We enjoyed the food, we enjoyed the atmosphere, we enjoyed the people, we enjoyed ourselves... We're moving to Omaha early next year and Semo will definitely be part of our rotation but I'm sure it will become our favorite restaurant in the area. Thank you so much to all members of the team. You're doing a wonderful job and deserve the credit.

The ingredients tasted high quality, and this is definitely a pizza I could see myself enjoying outside with a cold drink. Honestly, I probably should've paired it with a salad because the whole meal felt like it was designed for a lighter pizza experience. The staff was nice and the inside was fine, but there wasn't anything about the restaurant itself that really stuck with me. For me, the crust was the star of the visit.
