    The SBH Review: Sushi and burgers? Memoir opens trendy new chapter for Omaha restaurant group

    I’ve been thinking a lot about how a restaurant tells us who it is. Memoir, a new, super-hot downtown Omaha restaurant is dedicated to that exact task: telling a story.  It’s the tale of Omaha-based Flagship Restaurant Group, an arbiter of cool in this city for two decades with spots like Blue Sushi Sake Grill,…

    Sarah Baker Hansen’s eight favorite patios across Omaha

    My personal faves tend to veer toward east Omaha, since I’m a longtime east Omaha resident. But I love patios across this fine city. Here are my picks.

    The SBH Review: An iconic Omaha restaurant, resurrected

    There are a million different ways to start a restaurant review. This one begins with macaroni and cheese.  In this case, a rather Omaha famous macaroni and cheese, a version of it I didn’t think I’d ever be eating again.  The mac and cheese in question is served at Ooh De Lally, the new, nonprofit,…

    The SBH Review: Sand Point takes a tough order – seafood in Nebraska – and mostly pulls it off

    When you live in the most landlocked state in the country, one of the rarest restaurants you see is the one focused on the upper northeast, where seafood – not beef – is king.  Sand Point, which opened near 114th and Dodge in fall 2023, has taken a dive straight into the icy Atlantic and…

    The SBH Review: Dolomiti is the pizza Omaha didn’t know it needed

    The crust on the pie at Dolomiti Pizzeria and Enoteca is craggy and crisp, with dark bubbles and burnt bits, its finish airy and chewy, its flavor deep.  Here’s what might be the most unusual thing about it: the chef making it.  “I don’t know pizza,” Dolomiti’s chef, Roberto Garcia, told me after my two…

    Review: A Google search leads to Phôba, where you can find a memorable, delicious bánh mì sandwich

    Sometimes a cruise around the internet leads you to an excellent bánh mì sandwich.  In this case, it also led me to some nice steamed hot chicken dumplings, a big bowl of hot pho on that one cool day last week and an excellent boba tea made with mint and sparkling water.  I hadn’t heard…

    Review: At The Salty Dog, crispy, dry wings take time but are worth the wait

    I wasn’t expecting to be writing a full review of The Salty Dog. My plan was to run in, try their chicken wings — recommended to me by some restaurant industry friends — and write a few sentences about them on my blog. But it turned out that the bar and grill, tucked in a…

    Review: At Tracks, carefully crafted chicken wings keep regulars coming back

    At Tracks Lounge, chicken wings might be the main attraction.  You would be hard pressed to walk past the handful of patio tables or the regulars holding up the bar and not see a basket of extra large, charred, saucy wings in front of them, along with a beer and a pile of crumpled napkins. …
