“Great catfish filets. Great carp. Side of beans were actually pretty good. Great service. Charming atmosphere. Packed place for Saturday lunch. It's cash only folks, so beware. Not many places like this in the metro area these days. It's a bit of a drive from Omaha but worth every mile. Next time, will try the walleye.“
“Overall great place, we came in pretty late so I don't think the waitress was super pleased. She was nice but you can tell by her body language that she was ready to get off the clock.. the food was great though and the atmosphere was great. Will go back for sure.“
“I highly recommend council bluff, Iowa Red lobster. best food I have ever had do not go to the Kansas City Red lobster it service in Kansas City Iowa service immaculate never had such good service or good food in my life. they have restored my faith in Red lobster will definitely be going back“
“Enjoy Jack Binion's Steak House. The service has always been the best part of having dinner there. All the staff are friendly and seem to enjoy working there. The food has always been great. I do wish they would bring back the use of tablecloths. That really means fine dining.“
“Good location and the staff are very courteous and I find the place to always be clean.Kid-friendliness: They always have a kid meal and a little gift for the kids. No play rea thoughWheelchair accessibility: Parking is a wheelchair safety design. Assessable doors entry way. Bathrooms are wheelchair accessible and stalls designed for handicap persons.“

“I've been told to go to J Gilberts for years now. Very happy I finally had the chance. I loved the prix fixe menu options. The wedge salad was amazing along with my prime strip. Cooked to perfection and crazy flavorful. Finished with a delicious creme brulee. I flipped a coin for my starter cocktail and would definitely try the smoked old fashioned next time.“
“It was super busy so I thought It would be a slow service at the bar but Cassie acknowledged me within the minute and took great care of all of us! Didn’t feel rushed, everything was timely, and the salmon burger was sooo good! Couldn’t get a pic because my phone was dying, but the host charged it for me! Great food and Staff! I’ll def stop by the next time I’m in Omaha!“
“We don't get to go out like we used to (money doesn't go very far any more), so we treated our daughter with her choice of meals for making honor roll. She chose Shuck's as her fave. Food was great (we had the angry crab linguini, blackened chicken Alfredo and seared salmon, along with calamari and oysters Rockefeller for apps). They made a goof on the apps, forgetting to put the order in, but they made it right and our special night remained special. Always a super friendly staff, so even with the goof we'd have gone back for another special family night out.“
“The vibe of Isla del Mar is fantastic. It feels like a south of the border fiesta every time. The menu provides lots of choices, and the service is attentive. We had drinks with dinner in the past, which added to the fun, but today was lunch, so no drinks. All in all a good visit, and at first, the mariachi band added to the vibe in a good way. It got to be a little much as they seemed to be REALLY loud and right on top of our table for our whole visit, making it hard to converse and hard to enjoy the music too.“
“Ordered through DoorDash and food arrived piping hot and oh so tasty! ? We had pad Thai and egg rolls and they were perfect! The spice level was on the low side, so mild fans like me should love it but you might be a little disappointed if you want a lot of spice.“
“My partner and I went there on a date night a few months back.Cibo Vino is kinda mid, in my opinion.It relies on its wine selection and location to appeal to people, and the food kinda falls short. Lemme tell you why.It’s on one of the busier intersections in the Old Market, just across the street from Upstream and La Buvette. The ambience is lovely. Low, intimate lighting with a lot of really cool artwork and decor. The bar is beautifully designed, and our bartender was cool.Good selection of wine, and not too terribly priced if you’re getting it by the glass.Food and plating, however, was what made it mid.For a restaurant in a prime location serving food that’s anywhere from 25-35 bucks a plate, you’d expect some diversity in the flatware with a little bit of artful plating. Every dish came out on the same size plate, tossed onto the middle of it with no real thought.We got two slices of their rosemary focaccia for an appetizer, and it tasted like they had thrown a bunch of rosemary onto the fire before they grilled it. The flavor of rosemary was almost overpowering, bordering on bitter. Good texture and crunch, but Jesus was it herby.We got their bucatini amatriciana to split as well, and here is where the ‘real’ review of their food begins.While the ingredients of the dish were all there, they weren’t really combined. The pasta was cooked well, but there was next to no starch in the actual pasta. This tells me one thing: cheap pasta. It felt as if they’re just ordering large quantities of pasta from Sysco, par cooking it before service, then reheating in boiling water to sell. As a result, the ingredients of the sauce; the tomatoes, the guanciale, and the pecorino cheese, didn’t really have anything to bond them together. The basis of flavor was there, but the execution and prep work kinda blew it. Could use more salt, as well.For mains, we had the lemon chicken piccata and the hunter’s chicken cacciatore.Chicken piccata was flavorful and cooked well. The lemon was bright and delicious, but the sauce had slightly split. This tells me it was either unattended to on the line, or it cooled down while waiting to be brought to the table. However, my issue with the pasta arises once more. It felt like the penne it was served with was par cooked prior to service, reheated, and dumped onto a plate with the piccata coming off of sauté and on top of it all. The lack of starch was apparent. The pasta and sauce weren’t married very effectively, and it felt like I had to dip the pasta in the sauce to get an effective bite. Flavors were good -fantastic even- but the execution is where it lacks.Cacciatore was delicious. Flavor was fantastic, and the chicken was juicy and tender. HOWEVER, the sauce was missing something. The flavors were there, but the texture fell short. The mushrooms were canned, or at least it felt like they were. Now, I understand it is impossible to acquire fresh porcini mushrooms year round, but this is where you have to ADAPT. If porcinis aren’t available, switch to a fresh mushroom you can get quickly. Cremini would be fine, and those things can grow year round indoors. The mushroom gravy was tasty, if a bit lacking in salt. But the real star of the show was the polenta. It was blended beautifully with the pecorino, and was light, creamy, and fluffy. Good stuff.Dessert was the panna cotta. No complaints. Tasty and delicious.Overall, I have one main criticism for Cibo Vino:Make your own pasta.The experience was lovely, but I can tell that the main focus of the restaurant is shifted towards the wine, considering the chef was sitting two tables over speaking to a pair of sommeliers/wine dealers(?) as opposed to running expo.The food feels like an afterthought. Like someone decided to open a wine bar but said: “I need to serve food too!” The menu is classic Italian pasta fare, and somehow, they’ve managed to just barely miss the mark.I will say again; Cibo Vino, make your own damn pasta.“
“I award La Isla FIVE (5) stars. The food is pricey, but it is worth it. I am under the impression this Mexican restaurant specializes in seafood. I ate the langostino (little lobster) platter and churros with ice cream. The service was excellent and attentive. I am not aware of any issues to report.“
“Found this place when looking for something different while visiting. Food was incredible, staff was very accommodating, atmosphere was welcoming. Our children commented on the great smells and how busy they where. Every community needs a place like this. (We'll be back when visiting)“
“My husband and I stopped by here while visiting Omaha. I was absolutely impressed by the service from our waitress Jennifer, inviting atmosphere and striking yet flavorful food. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch and will definitely be back for more during my next trip.Vegetarian options: Veggies skyscraper“
“Great! I ate there recently a few days ago (March 4th) and it was a good experience. Food was fairly tasty (admittedly can't think of ways to go more in detail, unfortunately). Wait time was perfect (enough to talk a bit, but not grow bored or impatient). We admittedly came on a Monday, though. The server, Riley, was excellent (helpful, good charisma). Gentlemanly, even. Lovely décor and ambiance.“
