Robb Report is an interesting and excellent magazine, subtitled "for the luxury lifestyle" It features luxury cars, homes clothes,and travel options etc........ occasionally reviews a restaurant or two. Pick up a copy, it is worth it just to see it once. Snookie, the restaurant is called the Cafe De Paris (NOT the French Cafe), I guess there is some confusion about these two in the Omaha area) If you are familiar with Omaha it is south and east of the OldMarket area like South 8th street or something like that. The owner is is Ivan Konsul, according to the Robb Report he is from Yugoslavia but attended a French cooking school. But you won't find an Omaha steak here, it is french cuisine at its finest. White gloved waiters give service such as Las Vegas has never seen and Konsul is there every evening to great and seat guests. He serves the main course to every diner. The attention to detail is remarkable, every restauranteur should have to dine there just once as a benchmark for service. The service is excellent yet unobstrusive. I had fidgeted with the cocktail napkin under my drink, (by the way a pet peeve of mine, like at Prime in Bellagio last week, you pay through the nose for a drink and the waiter comes and plops it down wet on your white table cloth, No Napkin!!)....back to my napkin, Ivan in walking by eyed the napkin and within a few moments it was replaced by a new one. The restaurant is tiny and only seats.....My guess.....about 50. There is only one seating during a evening. You may arrive when you wish making your own time choice. You MUST ASK for your check, no one would think to bring it to you or ask you if you want it. I believe you could spend the night and never feel pressed to leave. No bank cards accepted, cash or personal checks only. A remarkable and wonderful dining experience.
