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!

The dessert was the cherry on top..The best!!Everyone was super happy. It's a 10/10

The overall experience was excellent. Very nice ambiance. Noise level was lively but not too loud. Good selection of appetizers, salads, first plates and main dishes. The staff was attentive but did not hover. The cocktails menu is fun and the wine list ranges from reasonable to high end. Overall an easy recommendation to make for an evening with family, friends or work colleagues.

Overpriced, faux high-end dining atmosphere. The lighting and decor and pretty staff will give you a nice first impression. Once you interact with the staff, however, you will find them inexperienced and unskilled. The food is mid, the drinks are bad, and the level of professionalism is amateur hour.The new plastic shine will impress those in the same way cheap glue on nails impress fashion forward folks. This place is great for those who want to say they went downtown, take a picture, and still be able to hide from the actual city. It's very new and shiny but underneath the veneer (literally, the bar is fake marble) anyone with any actual fine dining experience will quickly see this place for what is...a place to get an average meal and below average cocktails that costs as much as the nicest steakhouse in town with less than half the quality.The food/drink quality is somewhere above an Applebee's and far below a Charlestons.

Easily becoming one of Omaha's top restaurants, we were excited to try Memoir out for dinner before we went to The Lion King at The Orpheum! We did have reservations, which happy we did, busy busy busy the entire time we were there! The vibe is immaculate, so fun to get dressed up and have a fancy night! The service was top tier, there was still lots of people training, but everyone was perfect and very polite and on top of their game! The potato puffs are what I see most recommend and I see why! So soft yet crispy, and the sauce that comes with it paired so nicely! Parking is rough, there's a parking garage in the building, but meters around it are basically hit and miss, give yourself time to park!

This was our second at Memoir in 5 day! This time was better than the first and our server Craig was outstanding! He has worked at other flagship properties and is a valuable asset to that company. His knowledge of the food the menu and overall friendliness is what makes a dinning experience! Lots of time and fun twist went into the menu and we will be frequent diners.

Great date night spot to take yourself alone or with a friend/partner. The craft cocktails are delicious with flavor profiles for different preferences. The beef carpaccio melted in my mouth. I would opt for a different appetizer than the potato puffs, which were a bit too greasy for me. The salads at another table looked large and flavorful, so I'll try that next time. The interior is beautiful, and the service was top notch. They're kind, don't rush you, and checked in often.

This place is a WHOOOOOLE vibe! I felt I was transported to NYC when I walked in... highly recommend making reservations because this place was packed (I had them btw). Was seated immediately and make by our dope server (forgot her name).. but I had the mimosa, donuts and the chicken sandwich! And let me tell y'all!!! This was banging!!! The food and service were phenomenal and I most definitely will be back in the upcoming weeks!
