Memoir

My partner and I were in town for a wedding and upon doing some social media “research” of good eats in the area stumbled upon the amazingly priced food, atmosphere and vibe of Memoir! We had 0 expectations as first time visitors to Nebraska let alone the dining experience but we are SO insanely happy we came to visit this spot. Our waiter, Julian was responsible for majority of our love for this restaurant. He sparked authentic conversations with us, gave honest and incredible recommendations that only got better. (One being for the pasta in the picture. The way he described down to the flavor profile and experience we just HAD to order it)! Julian made it feel like we were dining with another friend. We also got the wagyu beef appetizer and matcha cheese for desert (and no, it’s not green). By the last picture of our plates you can tell we enjoyed it. This place is beautiful, clean, amazing aesthetic and the food could make us fly back to Nebraska just because. Thank you so much again Julian! 100/10!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Memoir. The service was prompt and the food was absolutely delicious. The attention to detail made this meal a step above other restaurants we dined at in the area. The restaurant was extremely clean. We would absolutely return and recommend this spot to anyone looking for an upscale dining experience in Omaha.

I live downtown and have this place on my radar for a while and finally got around to trying it. I had a late lunch/early dinner. I got the Tuna Chop Salad with the vinaigrette and the chocolate torte. Both were delicious! Can’t wait to come back a try more items in the menu.

Where to begin! The atmosphere is inviting and chic. The patio is adorable. The food and drinks are absolutely delicious. And our waiter, Juwlien was the cherry on top. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had all-around great service.

Love the aesthetic of this restaurant! Stopped in during happy hour and everything we ordered was very delicious! The cacio e Pepe was or favorite and the sushi was outstanding! Our drinks were very good and staff was very friendly! Meg our waitress was awesome and super friendly with any questions we may have had! Will def return for dinner soon!!

This is a really nice place with a great atmosphere and very friendly service. My favorite dish was the flat iron steak. My wife loved her cocktails as well. The only reason I'm going 4 instead of 5 stars is her cut of prime fillet was a little grainy and the outside ring was quite thick and crunchy, like it wasn't quite up to temp before searing, so maybe it was too long of a sear. I'm sure it's amazing most of the time. Overall, we really enjoyed it here.

Had an amazing time at Memoir! The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was full of flavor and beautifully done. Service was super friendly and attentive without being too much, and the vibe of the place was just right, cozy, stylish, and relaxed. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!

LOVED Memoir! My husband and I are from Des Moines and had not been to Omaha until last weekend. We went on a Monday and Memoir made our trip extra memorable. The atmosphere was gorgeous. I loved my bloody mary and he had a wonderful hibiscus tea to drink. The potato puffs were perfect and we loved the sauce with them. The avocado toast and soup were lovely. Our server Sammie was just as lovely as our food and drinks. She was attentive and made our time at Memoir top notch. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and I love that when we go somewhere new. We are already looking forward to our next trip back to Omaha with Memoir being a part of that trip.

Perfect place for a date night. Food was fantastic! Our server Molly was wonderful!! I ended up ordering the Lumache Bolognese and my girlfriend ordered the Filet, we both thoroughly enjoyed our food:)

Food was amazing and our server Molly was outstanding. Never let the wine glass go dry!! We had a great time and we would highly recommend this restaurant!!

This restaurant has been on our list to try for months after many friends rave about it & it's prime location in the old market - we weren't disappointed! We enjoyed the romantic & swanky ambiance, friendly & attentive service, and large variety of foods offered - from sushi, to potatoes, to pasta, to fish, to steak, & to french dips & more. We'll be back & will bring family :)

Memoir is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal, whether thats date night or impressing family and friends who are visiting. It offers an impressive ambiance that captures its elevated and welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in with its open bar and cook space. The staff is very organized and stays on top of reservations, so as long as you have one ahead of time we rarely have had to wait for our table to open. We started off with their beat salad which was to DIE for. It had yellow beats that were perfectly seasoned with goat cheese, pepitas and dill. My mouth is watering just writing about it. I got their salmon, and my boyfriend got their flat iron steak that was served over a bed of sticky rice with a red chimichurri sauce on top. While my salomon was good, the steak took the gold medal of the night. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and paired with the flavors of the rice and the sauce had me sneaking bites of his meal when he was in the bathroom (whoops:). The first time we visited memoir we had a decent waitress. She often times would forget items and service took a long time. The second time we went we had a fantastic server who had amazing recommendations and was very attentive. Overall, highly recommend memoir and is a great place to take your visitors if you want to impress them with an elevated, delicious dining experience.

Adding to my review after having brunch here--loved the experience! This vibe is so moody and boujee--I love it. The brunch menu is somewhat limited, but you can also order from the regular menu. I got the potato puffs which have changed shape it seems--I loved the tube shape as it allows for more of the crispy outside (my favorite part) to encompass the puffy cheesy potatoes inside! The banana bread French toast wasn't my favorite, as it was more a slice of banana bread with toppings. The fruit, pistachios, and granola on top were amazing! There was a tiny drizzle of syrup until I asked for more and got a tiny ramekin. I would definitely ask for 3-4 sides if I was eating this whole dish, but I also use a lot of sauces! We also got the biscuits and gravy which were amazing--the biscuits were incredibly flakey which was a great surprise! I also had a side of steak which was cooked perfectly. Overall a great brunch!

We went to Memoir to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was such a great experience! The staff was super friendly and incredibly accommodating. They stored a cake we brought in their fridge and even brought out candles for us! The food didn't disappoint either. The potato puffs are an absolute MUST!! The brunch menu had a nice mix of sweet and savory options, though I would've loved to see a few more choices. The restaurant itself is beautiful. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try their dinner menu!

Closing out the year with a bang! This was a damn good dinner date. We started off with the grilled focaccia and potato puff! Biting into the potato puff was like biting into a cloud! The initial crisp gave way to a delicious cloud. That followed by the grilled focaccia with the pesto. It was the perfect start. The drinks were also quite enjoyable and I loved the glass as well! The Rigatoni alla Vodka with the prime flat iron was perfect! I don't not typically get pasta or steak when I eat out but it felt right. Oh was it enjoyable! The steak was perfectly salted and seared. The night was finished with the Berries and Cream. The meringue was my favorite part because it added additional texture that I absolutely enjoyed. Chris, the waiter, was very knowledgeable and lovely! He made our experience more enjoyable with his recommendations and energy. The atmosphere and decor were great. It wasn't too loud where we had to shout across the table and not eerily quiet either. 5/5 will plan to return in 2025

Popped in for lunch and didn't have to wait for a table. This would be a great spot for a business lunch! The focaccia was very fluffy and came with a delicious spread. Enough for 2-3 people to share. We both got the Stracciatella salad per a reco from our server and we're raving over the full meal. A great choice if you're looking for a light lunch packed with flavor. ‍This is a great location to take a walk around the lake after your meal! There is metered parking or 2 parking garages within a block or 2.

I loved the vegan roll at Memoir. It's a great portion and presented very well, with an awesome flavor profile. We also tried the bread with beans/pesto dip which wasn't as good as the bread wasn't toasted/warm nor was the dip, and the flavors didn't go together well. The inside of the dining room is very classy and intimate, and the service is top notch.

Wow! Such an amazing dining experience! The restaurant is so beautiful and I love the atmosphere. The service was phenomenal and our waitress Moe was absolutely wonderful. She was so helpful and kind. Our food and drink choices were delicious! We ordered the Prime Beef Carpaccio for a starter and sushi rolls for dinner. The Men of the West take on an old fashion is awesome! Get it made with the recommended cask reserve, you won't regret it. 10/10 recommend Memoir and cannot wait to come back!

Memoir is an absolute gem in downtown Omaha! From the moment you step inside, the ambiance wraps you in a sense of luxury - chic decor, soft lighting, and a perfectly curated playlist make it an unforgettable experience. I indulged in their cheeseburger, which was delicious. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection - it was a gourmet take on a classic comfort food. And my fruity cocktail paired well with it. For dessert, the chocolate torte was divine, rich and decadent with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that I'll be dreaming about for weeks. Yes, Memoir is on the pricier side, but it's worth every penny for a special treat. Whether you're celebrating a big occasion or just want to spoil yourself, Memoir is the perfect destination for an upscale dining experience!

We did the mimosa bottle service for my birthday and it was so fun! You get little droppers that have different flavors in them so you can flavor your individual mimosa. It was fun and delicious. I had the memoir Benedict for brunch and it was okay. It definitely wasn't my favorite eggs Benedict. It got really soggy really fast and was kind of chewy. I'll definitely go back because it's so cute I love the decor and the service was great. The patio seating option is nice when the weather is nice too.

My husband and I met with a couple friends here on a Thursday night and wow was it packed!!! I am so glad we made reservations beforehand because trying to eat here without a reservation seems like a surefire recipe for disappointment (or at least a long wait time). Even with the reservations, we had about a ~10 minute wait. The service after we were seated was excellent. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and helped us through the menu. I got the Moonwalk cocktail, which was good but didn't really blow me away. Our table got a couple of starters, but I only tried the vegan sushi - bito vegan maki. It had a little smoky flavor and it was very good, but I think you probably already have to like vegetarian sushi. For my main, I got the rigatoni alla vodka. It was also good, but not all that special. Despite it having Calabrian chili, I didn't really get a lot of spice (or flavor) in the dish. For dessert my husband and I shared the chocolate torte, which was excellent - no notes! There are not a lot of vegetarian entree options and I'm not sure my meal entirely justified the price we paid for it, but the atmosphere was fun, the service was great, and there are still lots of cocktails and starters I want to try!

I was looking at the different dining options from the Flagship Restaurant Group, and found Memoir. The inside is nicely decorated with purple lighting. We sat in one of the booths that have mirrors on the wall. There is a bar in the center of the restaurant. I ordered the seared tuna chop salad. I wasn't asked what dressing I wanted. I'm glad it came on the side, because it was too tart. Other than that I enjoyed my salad that I was determined to finish, which I did. Make a reservation, or you can take a chance at the bar.

A friend & I had the pleasure of experiencing this amazing establishment over the weekend. Ryan, the bartender was amazing and very attentive! The drinks were fantastic! We ended up sharing an entree, it was the rigatoni pasta, and it was, not even joking - TO DIE FOR! The best part of all of it is the set up, WOW! It's the best place for Instagram worthy pictures! (I have a bunch ) Towards the end the Manager on duty, Damian, stopped by to check on us, great guy! 10/10 place! I can't wait to come back! also the pricing isn't that bad either

My mom and I visited Memoir for brunch for my birthday. The staff displayed a birthday card on the table, which was a great touch. We were sat at a table right next to the kitchen. It was interesting being able to see into the kitchen, but it was also very loud. We started with the donut bites. These were sooo good, especially with the dulce de leche dip. We also both ordered coffee. It came in an adorable coffee pot, and we each got a cute glass cup with a tiny spoon to stir. This may seem like a trivial thing, but I SO appreciated not having to use my knife or fork to stir my coffee. They use Hardy Coffee, which is some of my favorite, and it was delicious. My mom had the standard breakfast and I had the hot chicken biscuit sandwich. My sandwich was good not great. I was hoping for a little more "pizazz," but I felt like it fell short of my expectations. Additionally, part of the chicken was weirdly hard. Overall, this is a great atmosphere with friendly service, but I haven't been blown away by the food.

Thank you, Maureen! There's service, there's good service, there's even on rare and special occasions great service, and then somewhere far above all that is Maureen. It was already a special occasion for us and yet Maureen elevated it. She took something great and made it exceptional. But let's not forget the food and the special touches. We felt so cared for - there was even a signed card waiting for us at our table on arrival. After which there were the golden beets, the pot stickers, the roast chicken, the kale and faro salad, the chocolate torte, and even some prosecco at the bar because clearly we hadn't stuffed ourselves enough by that point. And all so good! The decor was an Art Deco masterpiece. Green, teal, brass, and glass for days. Along with plants and just an exceptional eye for design. It's really nice. Also, did I mention the world's best server, Maureen? I hope they serve breakfast because I already want to go back.

First off the interior of this restaurant is the aesthetic you see in HGTV commercials just making you want to reno everything. All of the workers were so attentive my water glass never reached below half full. It is definitely a more sophisticated dining experience but everything tasted as amazing as it looked. Plus the cocktails were crafty yet yummy. Definitely recommend if looking for a fine dining but still comfortable experience!

NYC | intimate | salmon NYC - the restaurant has a great vibe. It feels more like a New York City Manhattan base restaurant in terma of decor its finishes the set up. It's got a very upscale big city vibe. Intimate - the restaurant is low lighting, which is great for a date or a more intimate setting for good conversations with friends or family. There's great spacing between each of the tables and settings. Therefore it's a great spot if you're going to spend an evening with a group. Salmon -I decided to try the salmon dish based on the chef's recommendation, and it surpassed all my expectations. Despite being hungry, I didn't want something too heavy, and the dish turned out to be just right. It was not only satisfying but also beautifully complemented by fresh greens and vegetables. Pro tip: Unfortunately, there isn't much parking available nearby, so be sure to factor in an extra 5 minutes for your journey.

Memoir has slowly climbed to be one of my favorite downtown Omaha locations. Although the food menu isn't robust, there are a variety of options for all and they don't disappoint. The decor take your on a journey during your dining experience based on where you're sitting and the staff is more than helpful in helping navigate all of the drink and food menu options.

Wow! After three phone calls and finally a discussion with the manager, we determined that they could not make a reservation for me. This was despite the fact that their web portal doesn't allow reservations for parties more than eight, nor are the directions clear if you're trying to book their private dining room. Honestly, there are lots of choices out there, and I'm taking my business elsewhere. Bummer. One star for the overall service and experience. Clearly the staff requires some training to remind them that they are in the hospitality and guest services business. ---------------------- In response to the manager's comments, I informed both the individual I first spoke with, and the manager that the web portal was not working. Further, why couldn't you just take the reservation over the phone? Ridiculous.

Great cocktail menu. The staff is very helpful in extending their recommendations! The burger was amazing the fries were not very good. They do have a cute cocktail menu and decorated very nice and clean looking

Our last dinner for our anniversary celebration. We popped in and got real lucky snagging a table on a Monday night! We were greeted right away. The service was quick and concise. Our drinks were never empty and yet it was not overbearing. We believe our waitress was Brandy or something along those lines. She recommended the Bacon-Kale spread with Pita. It was phenomenal. We went for it straight with the pita, and in hind sight we will use knives to spread it. I ordered the pyro burger with fries and their dairy based vinaigrette alongside the ketchup for my fries. Everything was delicious and we left no crumbs. I loved the decor inside. If my wife and I somehow strike it rich while working for non-profits, I would love to model a kitchen to match the tones of theirs! Without the reservation, we ended up sitting on the patio which was fun and beautiful too.

We sat at the bar. The place was packed on a Thursday night. There was outside seating but it was a little warm. Service was nice but a little slow, they really need more help. I had the Marguerite, which is a nonalcoholic cocktail. It was delicious! The spices (ginger, cinnamon) reminded me a little of watermelon rind pickles, but that's not what it tasted like. I had the roast chicken. It was pretty good, although I could tell there was lots of butter. It came with these tasty ricotta dumplings, which didn't really come through in the taste. I think it just gave them a great texture. It came with a tiny amount of broccoli rabe. I wish there were more of that. My husband had a pasta dish that I thought was just okay and a pretty small portion.

This checked all of my boxes for a great dining experience. I loved the food, the vibe, the staff and cocktails. I can't wait to go back. We started with some cocktails, potato puffs, and sushi. The potato puffs had such a unique texture to them and were so light and fluffy. I wanted to try sushi as I know they are sisters to Blue Sushi. This did not disappoint and packed a lot of flavor in the dynamite salmon roll. For dinner I did the filet mignon which came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The mashed potatoes had cheddar baked into them and the hollandaise paired nicely. Lastly we got the coconut tart for dessert and the torched meringue was to die for. We were celebrating my birthday and the staff definitely made it a special evening. I can't wait to go back.

What a gem! This is the type of place that couples end up calling "our spot", because it's that's good! From walking in the front door, there is never any rush from the wait staff to hurry through your experience. Beautiful dark tones, panel windows, and warm lighting make for a dreamy date night. I recommend ordering whatever is seasonal for a salad to share...for us it was a delicious heirloom salad. If I went again, I'd pass on the fries/aoli, it wasn't bad but nothing special like all of the other dishes. The rigatoni ala vodka was a great pasta option after a salad and the roasted chicken was perfectly juicy with a nice crisp on the outside. Both dishes left just enough room for the chocolate tarte with coffee to end the night. For drinks, the Diablo was fantastic! I recommend a reservation, and planning to spend 1-1.5 hours here. Don't rush...start slow, savor it, and finish with dessert. Afterwards, a walk in Old Market pairs perfectly with a full stomach!

This place was definitely a vibe. The staff were very welcoming and ensured we were satisfied. Our food was delicious. I enjoyed eating every single bit! The steak was cooked to the perfect temperature and the rice was very flavorful.

This unique restaurant offers a memoir-like experience through its carefully curated menu. Each dish tells a story, representing the best of the restaurant group's diverse culinary portfolio. Yellowtail Sashimi This dish is a testament to the chef's precision and creativity, blending Japanese tradition with a modern twist. The interplay of orange, serrano, and cilantro creates a vibrant palette, while the ginger shoots and white shoyu add depth. A finishing touch of olive oil and sea salt elevates the dish to new heights. Creamed Kale & Bacon Dip This indulgent appetizer showcases the restaurant's ability to transform familiar flavors into something extraordinary. The rich blend of cheeses, smoky bacon, and earthy kale is perfectly balanced, served with grilled naan for a satisfying contrast in textures. The Caesar salad A playful makeover, demonstrating the restaurant's knack for reinventing classics. Crisp romaine leaves are adorned with sharp parmesan and delicate shallots, but it's the unexpected addition of potato chips that steals the show, adding a delightful crunch to each bite. Prime Flat Iron steak This 8 oz cut is a celebration of bold flavors and expert technique. The mojo marinade infuses the tender beef with a zesty, citrusy punch, while the fried sticky rice provides a delightful textural contrast. The dish is completed with a vibrant red chimichurri, adding a fresh, herbaceous note that cuts through the richness of the meat. Rigatoni Alla Vodka This pasta dish is a harmonious blend of Italian tradition and contemporary flair. The tomato cream sauce, infused with a hint of vodka, coats each rigatoni perfectly. Calabrian chili provides a gentle heat, while a touch of lemon brightens the entire dish. The addition of stracciatella cheese adds a luxurious, creamy finish. Each plate at this Omaha gem is more than just a meal; it's a chapter in a larger story of culinary excellence. The restaurant's ability to weave together diverse influences - from Asian-inspired sashimi to Latin American-influenced steak, and Italian pasta - creates a dining experience that is both familiar and exciting. It's a culinary journey around the world, all within the confines of a single restaurant, making it a must-visit destination for food lovers and storytellers alike.

We finally got a chance to dine here after a challenging time with reservations. Great food and amazing atmosphere. And then top it off with outstanding table service, and it's perfect start to having a successful business. The Yellowtail Sashimi apps were really good and have a slight spicy kick on them. The Dip Au Jus was also tasty and the bread was just perfect. The Prime Flat iron was equally as good and the pasta dishes were quite impressive. We'll definitely be back to try their other items on the menu.

Another phenomenal restaurant by the flagship restaurant group! After reading many great reviews, my husband and I decided to give Memoir a try for date night. The interior design is stunning, very classy and sophisticated..perfect for a date night or special occasion. We tried a cocktail and the Grilled Focaccia from the happy hour menu. I thought that the white bean spread that came with the focaccia lacked a little in flavor..would likely not order that again in the future. Our entrees included Rigatoni Alla Vodka and Prime Flat Iron Steak and we had the panna cotta for dessert. The sauce on the pasta was delicious, though I felt the portion was slightly small. The included photo was the dish right when it was served and after seeing other yelp photos of the same dish, my portion seemed much smaller than normal. My husband really enjoyed the flat iron steak..cooked perfectly medium rare with the flavorful chimichurri sauce. We definitely plan to visit again and try the highly recommended pyro burger as well as for the amazing ambiance.

We went to Memoir for our anniversary and the service was fantastic! Our server was seriously just the nicest guy. The food was delicious and the place is decorated so well. I'm very glad we made a reservation -- even eating at an early time on a weekday the place was very full! We got there while happy hour was still happening and their menu options for happy hour are great! My husband for the men of the west cocktail and he said it was one of the best cocktails he's had! I loved my margarita as well. The food was good. Portion sizes were decent for the price! The potato puff appetizer I wouldn't get again but everything else I would! I would love to try their brunch!

I understand the concept they were trying to bring to this restaurant... you can't really expect to stubble upon it, you definitely need a reservation. I've been here twice and both times reservations seem be an issue. The first time the host literally told the other host "we just gave her reservation away"... now I understand if I was late in the slightest... but I was on time, 2 mins early at that. They made us wait and sat us a mediocre spot (outside). The reservation spot I had requested was much better considering it was a date night for my husband and I. Whatever.... we sat OUTSIDE on a chilly night and ate cold food. Recently tried to give it another chance... didn't go well either. Service needs improvement. Employees need more training on respecting people's time and being more apologetic when it's their own fuck up. Thanks for the horrible experiences here. Will make sure to not recommend this place.

This restaurant was very nice and a perfect place to go for happy hour or for dinner. They have a lot of seating, both inside and outside tables. It is recommended to make a reservation through Open Table. Parking is not too bad, as there is a parking lot across the restaurant. However, I would double check if you have to pay for parking or not. Service was quick and the servers were very nice! They had a lot of different food options such as sushi rolls, pasta, and salads. You can share amongst people or be individual. Their chocolate torte was great and it came with freshly made ice cream. We did order the coconut tarte, which was also good. The tarte was much larger than we thought. Overall, great experience!

Stopped in for a solo dinner at the end of a work conference. Happy hour was perfect because I couldn't decide between the salmon dynamite roll or the potato puffs and the HH specials made it easier to just choose both! For my entree, I ordered the vodka pasta which was good but spicier than I expected but the pasta was fresh. The coconut tart was a great way to finish a delicious meal.

We were lucky to get a last minute RSVP to celebrate hubby's bday! They gave us a nice Birthday place card with the workers signatures-very nice! We started with a Rainbow sushi roll that I think is the best in town! Very fresh! The cocktails are crafted nicely with lots of flavors popping out! The Pork Chop was decent & hubby's fave is rigatoni alla vodka-never disappoints!

What a fun addition to Downtown Omaha! Memoir is hip, modern, and swanky all wrapped into one gorgeous restaurant. Even better than the design and decorations is their food. With a diverse and sophisticated menu everything from drinks to appetizers to entrees and beyond is delicious. The Memoir Dip au Jus was tender delicious and quite possibly the best one we have had. Their pasta and potatoes puffs were excellent and full of flavor. You cannot go wrong with anything you choose. Our waitress, Tammy, was excellent and quick to give us some great recommendations. All the staff was delightful and made us feel welcomed! I had heard that this is some of the best food in Omaha and I couldn't agree more!

I recently made it down to memoir and I was thoroughly impressed. Although the hostess stand seemed a bit backed up (and I couldn't quite sort of why it was taking so long to seat each party), the remaining experience was incredible. The interior decorating and decor the restaurant establish a cozy but cool vibe, without the tables feeling too crowded with each other. While I didn't know this prior to making the reservation, Memoir places emphasis and focus on sustainable product sourcing, including grass fed beef, sustainably, caught, seafood, and organic/non-GMO products. I thoroughly enjoyed what I got to eat at Memoir. We had the yellow tail sashimi to start as well as meatballs, which were delicious. For my main, I had the rigatoni and the kale and farro salad, both of which were very very good. I had a Soho sour as my accompanying NA cocktail, which was also tasty. I certainly look forward to coming back to Memoir soon!

A cute place for date night with your partner or with the girls. I got a burger there and I would say it's one of the popular items on the menu and I was very happy with the burger. The meat was just perfect!

We went tonight for my wife's birthday as a party of 6, including our busy 3 year old. We will start with the service. From being greeted at the door to the manager stopping by and checking on us, service was spectacular. Out waitress Meghan was the true star. She was able to answer any questions we had, give recommendations, and was so good with our little rambunctious boy. Really just a pleasant person that is good at her job. Food was all good. We enjoyed everything. Not a single plate was left with anything on it. This was the definition of what it was intended to be, a dining experience rather than a meal. We will definitely be back!

The food, service, and ambiance were amazing. It was even prettier when the sun went down with all the lights inside and outside.

For just being open a short time, Memoir really seems to have it figured out! The restaurant is located on the southwest corner of the Brickline building, with plenty of street or garage parking nearby. My friends and I enjoyed a magnificent brunch here! When I first walked in, I was in awe of the space. Large mirrors make it seem open and spacious, with rich colors and beautiful lighting and a huge bar in the middle. I was obsessed with the emerald green velvet dining chairs! Our server was friendly and prompt, explained the concept, and answered all of our questions. I started with coffee (provided by Hardy) and we also ordered the creamed kale and bacon dip. Presentation was lovely, even for a cup of coffee! The dip reminded me of Thanksgiving, creamy and rich with a crunchy topping, and served with naan bread for dipping. For my meal, I chose the Memoir salad with salmon. I love a salad with lots of texture, and this one hit the spot! Chopped kale with parmesan, pumpkin seeds, crumbled croutons, shallot, with a sherry vinaigrette. The samon was perfectly seasoned and cooked as well. I would definitely order this again! For the quality, ambiance, and service, I felt the prices were more than reasonable. I can't wait to come back for dinner sometime!

Memoir was an incredible experience. From the drinks to the entrees to the dessert we were impressed. The servers were extremely kind, attentive, and made all of their guests feel welcome. The presentation of the dishes was perfect and the decor was classy, romantic, modern, and sleek. Everything really tasted to delicious and unique. We will be back! Get yourself down to memoir if you haven't yet!

I'm giving this 4 stars because it's not some place I am going to go out of my way to visit again. The dip was great! I wish it had a little more flavor than just cheese. The Caesar salad was to die for and my friend's salad looked incredible. I think I would get a salad if I had to do it over again. The hasbrowns were okay. The fact that they were loaded almost made it a meal vs being a side. The chicken sandwich was delicious but just huge and I couldn't finish it. As for drinks: I tried my friend's espresso martini and it was disgusting. Way too bitter and we gave the feedback to the server. He said he would comp it (which is not why we said that, we just wanted to give the feedback) but then he never did. We also asked him to split the salad on the check and he didn't either. Minor details, as I could tell they're working hard on their service quality. There is one person hired solely to refill water and take away plates. Next time I go I am getting the mimosa bottle service. Just about every table around us had that and it looked amazing. You definitely need to. It's not too much and priced just right! The area was quaint, beautiful colors, and had plants and gigantic mirrors for days. Plot twist: two gals had a photoshoot going on outside of the bathrooms. It wasn't too loud but I could definitely hear the table behind me. Lovely spot for a Sunday brunch. Don't park in the lot diagonal from the front door (it's not free on Sunday).

This is a lovely addition to Omaha. It is an absolutely stunning environment. The towering windows and mirrors make the large space feel even bigger. This vibrant, chic space is adorned with greenery, an upscale bar and comfortable dining seating. The staff was extremely accommodating and we received top notch service. For our brunch visit we opted to try quite a few things on the menu. Some standouts included the kale and bacon dip, as well as the loaded hash brown. The Caesar salad was above average, adding their own spin on it with potato chips - it was done right. I got the banana bread French toast which I really enjoyed but it was almost too sweet. A nearly impossible feat, indeed, but I do think it would have been better with the syrup on the side rather than dowsed. The espresso martini was probably my least favorite item ordered. My party agreed something was slightly off about it, bitter but somehow lacking the robust coffee flavor. The cocktail offerings all sounded superb though, so I'm up for trying something different on my next visit. The temptation is high to choose to get bottle service mimosas next time - they have a variety of flavors and price was realistic at $30/bottle.

I would give a 10 review if I could.... Everything from the decor , atmosphere, customer service, and food is phenomenal. Definitely will be one of my husband and I new favorite place. So well done, hats off to the owner and the staff!

An absolutely fabulous addition to the Omaha restaurant scene. Thanks to Instagram, I heard about this place before it opened and was able to get a reservation for their first weekend. First, the decor. It is a beautiful space. The mirrors make it seem bigger than it is as does the huge open kitchen. The attention to detail is obvious in the rocks glass design that mimics the logo, the metal toothpicks for the drinks, and the monogrammed bread plates. We started with the Men of the West cocktail, the carpaccio, and the nigiri sampler. We had a debate at the table what the inspiration for the cocktail name was - one of us sure it was an Old West reference and the other thinking it was Lord of the Rings. We asked our waitress who checked and our little geek hearts loved that it is LOTR reference. Not to mention it is a fun new twist on an Old Fashioned. The Nigiri sampler was a great start with tuna, Scottish Salmon, and yellowtail. The quality of the fish was outstanding, hard to say which bite was my favorite. We stayed with the raw theme and also had the carpaccio. It is a nice mild base for the Parmesan and crispy capers. The focaccia bread served with it was perfect, but the star of the dish was oddly the crispy capers, they really took it up a notch. Our mains were the Scottish Salmon and the Pasta Amatriciana. The salmon sat on a bed of pea and carrot risotto that seemed to be manifesting Spring. It was perfectly cooked risotto, which is saying something. The salmon, while lightly covered in sauce, still has a crispy skin. I could eat this dish over and over again. The pasta is made in house and was perfectly al dente in a mild red sauce. Both were good, but the salmon was the winner for us. We closed with more cocktails, this time trying the scofflaw, and dessert. The scofflaw is a surprisingly light drink for a whiskey cocktail and a new favorite of mine. For dessert we had the chocolate torte and the berries and cream. Each of us picked one of these as a favorite dessert, so a nice variety. While I love chocolate, the panna cotta in the berries and cream was my personal preference, with the mint leaves the perfect touch. If there was any off note it was the uneven pacing. This is food meant to be savored, yet our mains came out before we had finished our starters and at a two-top table there wasn't even space so we had to scramble a bit. And then things swung the other direction. We put in the order for our second round of cocktails when our mains were delivered but had to remind our waitress about them later. We got them as we finished our meal. Fortunately we had already decided to try dessert. Despite this I would say service overall was good. There is a plethora of staff swarming around keeping an eye on everything. At one point I noticed a waiter with a dessert in his hands get stopped by a patron. Another staff person swooped by and took the dessert to the waiting table so the original waiter could keep talking. It was like a choreographed dance. I'm sure the minor thing of the pacing will get evened out. We were there the Saturday evening of their very first week, so some grace is due. I look forward to seeing how the kinks are worked out next time we go, because we're already planning to return!

First time trying this place a couple months ago, and it did not disappoint! Went here with my boyfriend and another couple and we enjoyed ourselves. The appetizers were so yummy + drinks. I ate the ceaser salad with steak, and it was 10/10. The steak was cooked perfectly and paired with the ceaser dressing was so yummy. I absolutely loved the ambiance of this restaurant. I'm an interior designer so I appreciate the beautiful decor they have in there. The service was great, she really knew the menu and was able to answer any question we had. I will definitely be coming back (hopefully sooner rather than later).

Really enjoyed my meal here!! Came in on a Wednesday and did not have reservations...was initially told there would be a 1 hour and 45 minute wait but then after some discussion with the hostess stand we were immediately seated at the bar so that was a bit odd. Yellowtail sashimi is delish. Cocktails well executed and entrees were wonderful! I really enjoyed the salmon risotto and also had a few bites of filet which were amazing. Service excellent and our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu.

Funky, hip spot with great food and ambiance. Love the menu. Different take on classic dishes and new offerings. Even the chopped salad is 5 . One of my new favs in Omaha.
