The food was amazing - this is the cutest place and the drinks were incredible - overall truly a great experience. We went because it was close to the orpheum - and we will definitely go back!

Debra

A little short staffed I'm glad we went early, the food was really good but service was slow. PS I will go back.

Jenny

Only ones there. Staff were surprised we had a reservation. Food was decent, but came fast. Typical breakfast food

Amy

Really nice atmosphere and helpful staff. The food is consistently tasty ; filet mignon and Parmesan asparagus really stood out. Sam the waiter was friendly and professional. Timing was great.

Amber

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. The best steak I've had in years. The staff was amazing. Everything was perfect. We celebrated our 24 year anniversary and they made it an evening to remember. Will definitely be back.

Food was good. Not enough wait staff for that evening. Wait person forgot about us, was having to cover to many tables .

The waiter was very sweet-BUT so busy we couldn't get refills-- so I got them myself. The food was over cooked- cold and tasteless. It is handy to go here with my aging mother and walk to the Orpheum. Very nice people- just wish the food was better.

Sam was really great with menu suggestions and with our 4 year old son ordering! Sam's great personality made our experience even better! The atmosphere was nice and the food was excellent!!

Came in for breakfast. We stood at the front for 10 min before I went to the front desk to see if anyone was working. They went to look and couldn’t find anyone. This is odd given the reputation the try and put out for the restaurant.

We had a great meal at Olive and Ira‘s! The food was great, the drinks were great, and the service was amazing! Our waiter was Sam and he gave us all the best recommendations especially the blackened salmon and bread pudding. We wish we could’ve gone back for a second dinner! Would definitely come back next time we’re in Omaha.

I love the ambiance. Beautiful furniture and lighting. Soft jazz. Our waiter Monique was kind and attentive, not at all annoyed though we showed up 20 min before the lunch closing. Food was fine- I ordered the power salad which was mostly romaine and the toppings were sparse, no avocado (the online menu may have been out of date).

We generally visit before a show at the Orpheum. Cocktails were excellent but took 20+ minutes to get. They have a special summer cocktail menu - highly recommend the cucumber collective - light, refreshing & nice balance of sweet. (They should serve in pitchers!) I scheduled the reservation over an hour before the show, so we thought we would have enough time to order dinner - unfortunately the kitchen was backed up and because they were understaffed, we decided to go with a couple of appetizers instead. Hummus & grilled flatbread were very good. The pretzel bites & cheese dip were tasty as well. Would order both again. Make sure you allow at least an 1.5 if you want dinner.

Waited at entry 10 minutes before being sat. Restaurant was slightly busy but not enough staff for the time of day. Once seated server never came. Wanted refills on drinks that never occurred. Would not return.
