I visited SET The Bar this past weekend and I can't speak more highly of this place!
The ambiance was bright and welcoming, the service was amazing, and best of all, the food was OUT of this world.
We had the Nachos, Banh Mi Fries, Street Corn Dip, Cauliflower Wings, and the Set Salad - which were all so flavorful and fresh.
The nachos didn't come with a protein, and that didn't hurt the dish at all. The cheese, beans, salsa verse, and radish worked so well together. These nachos, I dare say, may be considered "healthy" if you're looking for that (but don't want cardboard tasting health food!)
When we saw "Street Corn Dip" on the menu, it evoked memories of the cold dip you can get at Costco, but it was anything but that cold, pre-packaged stuff! It was served warm, and was SO creamy, and full of flavor.
The Banh Mi fries were an explosion of goodness - spicy mayo, pulled pork, radish strips (that I first mistook for onions - EW) and jalapeño! These were huge, so definitely a shareable plate.
My husband had the namesake "The SET Salad" and he was in love. Super fresh salad mix topped with an apple vinaigrette, and full of craisins, apples, feta, and the most delicious candied nuts (pepitas) that we had ever had. My husband even asked for a little cup of them to add more to the mix!
I had the cauliflower wings which you could get with any of the normal wing sauces. My eyes bugged out of my head when I saw the flavor "garlic teriyaki" - my two favorite flavors ever, combined?! I had to get them. And oh wow, they lived up to the hype in my head. So tasty, with a huge burst of flavor, especially if you dip a little in their ranch *chef's kiss*
And we finished with a dessert: The Rough and Tumble S'mores! So delicious with a burnt marshmallow topping, giving you the taste like you're really at a campfire.
Every staff member we interacted with was great, including the chef - who we found out was a graduate of the culinary school at Metro, which is awesome!
I love this place and will return many times over. It's so great that they are focused on women's sports when every single other bar in Omaha is focused on men's, mostly.
Definitely check out SET The Bar the next time you're in the Benson area!
