Latest Omaha hotel reviews
Coming to Omaha one has the vexing question.. where to eat? not what should you eat.. this is not a culinary spot. so i was happy when someone suggested a new Asian Fusion resto called Saigon Surface.. the significance of the name was lost on me.
Extremely slow service and tardy to begin with.
Decor: more SF than Hanoi
Food: more california than Vietnam
Service: more africa than america
Food: very ordinary. lacked that special pungent feeling one gets when eating viet food. The chef if he is the one whose name is displayed is Vietnamese but this tasted like viet food cooked by a Mexican apprentice.
Very poor service
Favorite Dish: The menu is limited and the usual Pho Hui Tiu and some viet sounding dishes. I ordered Shrimp with lemongrass rice and accoutrements.. very bland.
a glass of seaglass sauvignon blanc, large glass with a few mouthfuls for 7 dollars..

This place is the best for quick, not fast, food when you want to sit down in a real restaurant, not a place with a playground. A nice, adult, atmosphere, but totally kid friendly, too! The price is right, too, and so is the variety.
Favorite Dish: My son would vote for the chicken noodle soup - he ate a small bowl one day for lunch, and when we came back the next day, he ordered the big bowl and polished it off, too. Not bad for a small five year old! But my potstickers won him over - he tried one on the second visit, and ordered his own plateful the next time!
I LOVE the potstickers - so much lighter than what you get at a Chinese restaurant. I ate every bite, and could have had a few more, too. The spicy peanut noodle salad was really good, too, but a little too spicy for me by the end of the salad. The pad thai was ok, but not as good as the other two things I tried.

I wanted to try this place and it was on a sunday morning. the service was so slow that after 40 minutes nothing had happened. the server was very morose . the place had many young and enthusiastic college students serving but i had the misfortune of getting a man who curtly said: we dont have milk for your coffee.. nothing came anyway. so i decided to leave, very rarely do i leave restaurants. a spent blonde, elderly who had spent too much time in the sun, was at the till and i was told that she was the manager, when i told her that i had been waiting for 40 minutes and I was leaving, she arrogantly said: okay good bye without even an apology. She has lost a customer but all my friends from the area will know about it and it has brought lots of bad feelings towards the restaurant . I shall not go there again .
Favorite Dish: my eating partner for this restaurant is my dear Mi Hu Sa, my UmonHon Indian friend with enormous aethetic talent. I am glad she is in Omaha currently so I get to see her on each of my visits to the reservation of her people. She also promised not to go there any more, nor her friends.
I do not recommend this place.

Its a very nice place for a casual meal. One evening they had a three-piece musical group playing blues music. What was especially nice was that they kept the voume down so that you could enjoy the music but also enjoy conversation with your friends.
Here are sample prices from their menu in September 2009:
NAPA Chicken Sandwich (grilled breast served on a toasted wheat bun with pico de gallo and queso blanco.....$7.29
Bourbon-glazed pork chops $12.99
Honey-grilled salmon......$15.99
Mediterranean Pasta.....$12.99
Chocolate Torte.....$3.99
Sodas...$1.75, coffee....$1.95
Favorite Dish: I remember they have a good Sesame Blu Cheese Chicken Salad for $8.99, but really everything seems to be good.
a tip: If you order hot tea, ask to see their flavored tea choices.

Food-wise, it's ok, not bad, not great. You go there for the entertainment for your young children, and while there you eat pizza etc. from a buffet.
Favorite Dish: nothing strikes me as being great.

Just a nice place to have lunch, maybe pick up some bakery items, plus they have a nice selection of Stonewall Kitchen products (jams & jellies, mustards, chutneys, etc.) available for purchase at reasonable prices.

A very nice restaurant in the western part of Omaha. The chefs obviously take a lot of pride in the preparation and presentation of their dishes.
Favorite Dish: The tasty dessert pictured below...as I recall it was a sort of plum/cheesecake type of dessert. Anyway it was very good.

Favorite Dish: I had "Garlic Shrimp" for $13.95. The menu states "Garlic and scalions emanate through this bountiful shrimp dish. I also had "Distinctive Seafood Bisque" which the menu calls "A Hearty homage to a traditonal French staple."
With non-alcoholic beverages, the three of us had a total bill of $61.90 before the tip.

What can you say about a fancy restaurant when two dishes had to be returned for being too salty and decoration on one plate consisted of a few corns? scattered on the plate.
I have eaten at a few places this year in America, Europe, Asia and Australia and this must rank as one of the worst
i was chosen to select the wines, and two wines i chose were both not available, not availabl? from such a short wine list?
Favorite Dish: After making sure that it was wild salmon, rather than some domesticated variety from some pond in north dakota, i settled for salmon, which was cooked reasonably well. there were many meat dishes and very few fish or other choices.
the ambience was good, we were given our own dining area, the dining area was empty and the waiter was pleasant and knowledgeable but we can t say that about the cook, the quality of the food was mediocre. all wines were priced around 50 usd about five times their price in the wine store which is called gouging.. and the wine list was minimalist. i asked for a malbec and a syrah only two listed but they didnt have it, had to drink two reasonably tasty reds from california..at 50 usd a piece

I was looking forward to my dinner at this restaurant. when i entered with seven other people, the decor was welcoming and the waiters formal and non smiling and most disappointingly the place was full of visiting businessmen, in fact our table was the only one with women (four out of eight).
The disappointment deepened when the waite appeared with something which one of the guests remarked: is that food for Barbie?
Two bottles of wine was chosen by a knowledgeable psychiatrist which was enjoyable. the main dish i wanted, of alaskan salmon based dish, was available only to two guests who ordered before me, so i decided to order something else. Service was courteous and efficient, but most importantly we were there to dine with friends and solid friendships were being found and i could converse with almost everyone one at our table, so the evening was extremely pleasant, and it was not due to the food or service, despite of it
Favorite Dish: I chose a grass fed lamb, from oregon. there were meat dishes prominent on the menu, hardly any fish dishes and the range was limited.
it is probably, with the exception of the restaurant at the Hilton Hotel, is the most expensive restaurant in Omaha
