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.

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.

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.

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.

I haven't been to the Omaha Whole Foods in a long time, maybe one to two years. It's not a super…read moreconvenient location and it's not very close to my home, so I mostly come when I need to get the odd ingredient. I stopped by today in particular to get apples because I forgot to grab them during my normal grocery run and I happened to be nearby. The first thing I noticed was the exterior building. It doesn't look like it's been updated or that well kept up since it was constructed. It looks like the building has aged, and that big sign on a post looks dated as well. The interior was not dirty, but also looked dated and could definitely use a refresh. Businesses in the Regency area tend to look fancier and better well kept up, so I'd like to see this Whole Foods get a little TLC. I just feel like the vibe is off a little from what I would expect. I also expected to see a wider variety of apples. I guess to me Whole Foods means lots of organic and natural items as well as a broader selection than what you might find at conventional grocery store like Hy-Vee. But that really wasn't the case. Other than having lots of organic options, the specific types of apples weren't that unique or exciting. When it came time to check out, there was not a single open register with a human being. They only had self check out open, which is not my immediate preference.

Upon entering I saw the computerized shopping carts with scanners and decided to give it a try. Once I figured out how to scan my ID into the cart, it worked perfectly. I found a 23 pound fresh turkey and had no problems scanning it into the cart. Also found some nice stuffing mix and chicken broth and scanned them into the cart too. Was looking for a specific type of beer and asked the person in the beer cooler about it. He said they didn't have it but recommended a nice alternative. Checkout was extremely easy using the cart once I figured out which lane I had to go through to trigger the final checkout. I'm a tech geek so enjoyed the whole shopping experience and the ambiance of the store. Was cool that the digital receipt showed up in my Amazon account. Prices were higher than I would normally pay, even for organic labeled food, but Whole Foods was the only place I could with organic labeled fresh whole turkey. The turkey and stuffing were delicious, so I consider it worth the cost. I'll probably be back next year for another turkey.

There was a nice balsamic vinegar reduction applied extremely sparingly. I got the Brussels sprouts again, I wasn't as impressed with them today as I had been last time, but the pizza was a bit better so that evened things out. I did not order a dessert so I don't know if they are still suggesting the affogato when asked about a sharable dessert. I was hoping that this visit would show me that my previous experience was a fluke. Everyone seems to like the place. I am just not finding any flavor here. Super boring.
