Magnolia Omaha

We ate here for their breakfast/ brunch offerings. It's located inside the historic Magnolia hotel. The interior dining area is nice, modern, folksy with the upholstered pleather chairs at the table. Has a small and rather limited menu though. We ordered the yogurt parfait, avocado toast on sour dough bread and steel cut oats and a plain black coffee. The steel cut coats is good, the oats are smaller cut, which I like. The blackberry compote is good on top of it. The yogurt, granola and blueberry parfait is good. Think it would be even better with a berry compote for added flavor to it. The avocado toast looks decent, but there is barely any avocado smashed onto the sour dough at all. It's quite skimpy. The coffee is average, so was our service, better with another staffer that had noticed our food order was not actually put in by our first waitress.

The restaurant was very clean and well decorated. The servers and hostess had really good service. I order buffalo wings and they were underwhelming. They give you 6 wingettes. In my case they gave me four and split one of the wings in half (the flat). I was kind of disappointed but it was what it was. I didn't complain. I just know when I come back to not order the wings and stick with the pasta. This restaurant was extremely overpriced in my opinion.

Well....I liked the place. The bar area seemed to be the general social center for the employees. There was quite a bit of personal chit chat amongst the guys n girls. It was like listening to kids off the school bus talking about what's up , what server doing later ... etc.... "Oh my god" comments. Etc...One tv was playing a stream of you tube videos. ... a channel? Of "sensational " ping pong balls hit into solo cups....A little immature but then again I'm pushing 60 I liked that the servers felt comfortable and liked their jobs. It's a young persons vibe....real young. The bar area felt a bit open. Tall ceiling. It was a little cold. The two bar tv's were silent. And too far to the right or left to feel like you could get lost in the moment. Tap Beer was cold , selection was 6. Minimal. Food. I had the salmon. Medium portion Crispy exterior , cooked to just a little dry. I wasn't a fan of the sweet glaze. I like less. Less is more on salmon. Opinion. The Brussels sprouts were good. The sweet potato mash was an Excellent idea. Excellent. For the salmon meal. It was watered didn't too much with. Chicken broth ?I'd prefer a less modified product in general. That the theme of critique from me. If the chef tried less hard to put his her own spin on the flavors. Or used less. I'd have enjoyed the rooty basic flavors of Mother Earth better. Don't get me wrong. I'd eat here again The salmon again. It's just not 5 stars. Good job.

The restaurant here is what I'm going to be reviewing. The sign says The District, google says Olive and Iras and I'm going to tell you that it doesn't matter what it's called, it is absolutely delicious. The Mrs and I stopped in after the Tom Segura show over the weekend. The pasta Alfredo is MASSIVE and very cheesy. The artichoke dip was delicious and the mrs enjoyed her chicken melt and truffle fries as well. I completely recommend stopping in to this restaurant and having the wonderful staff here find you a seat.

The District is the restaurant/bar inside the Magnolia Hotel. It was super dead inside around 8p on a Wednesday night, with only a couple other patrons. There was a bartender, a cook, and one other guy who looked like he was finishing up. Service was good as you would expect given the quietness. Prices a little pricey, upscale for Nebraska I take it. I ordered some fish tacos, which sounded good compared to the rest on the limited selection menu. I was largely disappointed with the taste. The fish was heavily fried but decent quality. The diced tomatoes were fresh. That was as far as it went. The flour tortillas were fresh enough but didn't compliment the meal, corn would work better. And whatever lettuce-y runny tartar-y goop drenched the fish was repulsive to say the least. There were also some little japapeno pieces which I didn't realize was in the mix that were tough to pick out. Not that I expected bomb fish tacos in Omaha NE but yeah, certainly weak. Skip em, people! It's a nice clean establishment to down a glass of wine or two, but I'd make plans to eat elsewhere.

Visiting from Cheyenne, WY. to attend my nieces college graduation. Had dinner there. The waiter was very pleasant and attentive. Food was very good. The restaurant was inside the Magnolia Omaha Hotel. We were able to seat ourselves but did not feel crowded or too close to other tables. All employees wore masks and they provided hand sanitizer on each table. Masks were required but you could take them off once seated.

I've been here numerous times over the years, as we are season ticket holders at the Orpheum. We love coming for dinner and drinks before a show. This past Friday night (October 1st) was no different. My friend and I brought our kids before going to see Cats at 7:30. We sat down at 5:15, didn't get our drinks until 5:45 and didn't get our dinner until a few minutes before 7:00pm. We had to flag our waiter down multiple times, and every time he'd come by he'd barely stay long enough for us to tell him what we needed. The food was mediocre at best, and the service was even worse. Hopefully, the restaurant will truly consider this feedback as I'd love to come back.

The menu was extremely small and the bartender was such a snarky know it all with no courtesy or social cues. As I walked up he was saying "if you're gluten free or vegan or have any food allergies that is the last thing we want to hear and the first thing that will make your server dislike you." I know it complicates things when people have these issues but if you're a good restaurant it shouldn't be a difficult task to feed people with different needs. I don't even have these issues of food sensitivities or a very restrictive diet (I ordered right off the menu with no special requests) but for him to first approach me like that when he knew nothing about me seemed weird and honestly really rude. If I had been with my mom or several of my good friends with food allergies or dietary restrictions I would have immediately walked out and in retrospect I wish I had anyway. I felt like I couldn't even eat my meal in peace because he kept coming by and badgering me about how dumb GF & vegan stuff is when again I do not qualify as either nor did I care about his opinions on the matter. Friendly banter is one thing but this was just obnoxious overkill bordering on belittlement. The food itself was average which is why I gave it two stars instead of one but it's nothing I'd ever crave or think about again. I could find better food for way less money and with a much kinder staff pretty much anywhere else in Omaha.

Stopped in for an early dinner before going to the Orpheum. The place is very nice and comfortable. The wait staff was exceptional. They have happy hour until 6, which worked out great for us. I ordered the chicken caprese, with a side salad, and it was excellent! We had also ordered a half-price appetizer of the egg rolls, and I would highly recommend them. There were 5 of us for dinner, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The french fries were thin and crispy, and when I sampled them, I regretted that I got the side salad. I am looking forward to going back to The District for dinner again!

My room needed remodeling the room fridge was awful. No perks for how expensive the room was
