We loved our experience at Clio today! I came with my family who can be quite picky about restaurants and ambience and service. They’re hard people to go out with but they LOVED Clio. First of all, our server Tanner was a gem. He had very good recommendations and anticipated our needs before we even knew them. Tanner was so kind and even introduced us to the table next to us which was so sweet and cute. My sister is in love with him now— I’m sure he gets that often! The food was so delicious. Plate sizes felt small but we ordered a couple to share and that’s the way to do it I believe!! We had a mostly vegetarian meal with the four dips, 2 roasted veggie plates, the Clio salad (with an added chicken kebab— very yummy, marinated in yogurt so juicy and not dry at all!), the crispy potatoes, and the beet plates!! I recommend all of it. We didn’t even miss the meat! The tea and coffee were a lovely addition as well as the fig ice cream and toffee pudding. I want that served at my wedding and funeral. The restaurant itself has a really cute and cozy, light and airy, elevated hipster-esque breath of fresh air. Cannot reiterate how much we loved our server Tanner! Each plate is about $20.

The entire experience at Spezia was wonderful. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and made sure that everything we ordered was safe for me to consume with a gluten allergy. The atmosphere was quiet and romantic, a great place to celebrate Valentine's Day. We will definitely be returning for date nights in the future!

Valentine night. Was alerted late in the day of an opening which fit perfectly in our theatre evening plan. Sat upstairs very nice table. Great server and management oversight was constantly gauging our timing for theatre time as well as the overall management of the busy evening. Smoked old fashion cool looking and delicious. My wife and I shared a wedge salad. Perfectly balanced and delicious. Appropriate size for us to share. We also shared the 12 oz NY strip and the creme brûlée. Both were delicious and well worth the price! The wine selection was good and our choices hit the spot. We enjoy the prix fix menu and will return.

My girlfriend and I had an excellent experience here for our date night wonderful ambiance, excellent food and friendly service. I am particularly picking about hollandaise sauce but the one they serve with the asparagus as a side for the filet mignon was one of the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Would recommend 10/10 to anyone.

Our group enjoyed a delicious early dinner at Gorat’s on a Tuesday evening. Menu choices included the salmon dinner, wedge salad with shrimp, onion soup and beef filet dinner. All were very good, presented beautifully with very wait time. Atmosphere is relaxing and quiet; hostesses and waiter were friendly and provided excellent service. Parking is plentiful and close to the restaurant - a huge plus on a cold night. Great experience at one of Omaha’s classics.
