Hello, Wini, Not sure that you will actually get this message, but thought I'd try. Not sure how else to ask a question. We are traveling to Omaha, and after reading your article a couple of years ago, we've decided to try Au Courant for dinner before attending opera next week (April 24, 2025). Wondering if you might have any recommendation as to whether the bar, or the dining room, are preferred for seating? Comments? Thanks! (ps: you can email me directly at screaminbean@icloud.com). pps: Janean here, the former long-time coffee roastess (and barista extraordinaire) at Zanzibar's Coffee Adventure! :)
I'd definitely sit in the dining room! The bar is nice, but I'm not a "bar" diner. The nice thing is that the bar is adjacent to the dining area, so you'll get nice energy! Enjoy and please report back.
Wini: Great article on Omaha. I graduated from Bellevue High School in 1964. My brother and his family have lived in Omaha since the late 60’s, around 93rd and Harney, and are very active in the community. I have sent him your article and will be anxious to hear what he has to say. Will now need to visit him for a long weekend. Last time there was in June to attend a couple of College World Series games with my brother. Terry
My brother mentions the Kiewit Luminarium, a new Science Center on the Riverfront. He said he has eaten at all the restaurants you mention except Block 16. He didn’t comment on any of them specifically.

P.S.: I sent this to you via email as well.
Thank you for the very speedy reply! I will definitely report back with a review.

Bellevue! Then you know all about Fontenelle! Let us know if your brother has further leads he'd like to share!
Thanks, Terry!
