                                                    Decided to check out this spot for a celebratory dinner and it did not disappoint. Was very pleased to see that they were offering a 3 course tasting menu that individuals at the table could order. I did the tasting menu while my wife ordered a la carte, with an additional bread service. Like many French restaurants, service is slow in terms of how long it takes for each dish comes out to the table. That is not a bad thing, just something to know about if you're in a "rush". We were not and had no issue with that, as we wanted a relaxing night out. The wait staff were always attentive at our needs ie. drink refills etc. Very friendly and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes we had. Everything was to temperature, fresh, and well prepared. Portion sizes were generous. I don't know what kind of crack was in the clam appetizer, but OOF, so tasty!! The wine and drinks offered were also very tasty, reminded us of some wines we had while traveling abroad in Europe. All in all, a great restaurant and nice addition to Omaha! We look forward to returning on out next special occasion.

                                                    Service was outstanding. Food was exactly whet we were looking for. Nice, elegant good blend of Basque and French cuisine. The Shrimp appetizer was unique and well presented. Great flavors and fun. Both of our items were shareable for two.

                                                    Absolutely one of the best dinners ever. Food was spectacular. Oysters were fresh, entree of Rotisserie chicken with wild mushrooms was deep in flavor- perfectly prepared. A sublime Negroni. Dining area is fantastic- interesting art, tables far enough apart you can actually hear your companions. Apple tart with house-made ice cream was to die for. Finally, the staff was kind, attentive and pleasant. A total 5-star evening.
