Au Courant Regional Kitchen

The food was good overall. The place was cozy and the staffs were friendly. Giving it 4 stars, as I’m not sure if the dishes were as good as the price (~$300 / 3 glasses of cocktail ordered). Also, there weren’t much food and I didn’t feel full at all after.

Top notch dining in Omaha. The tasting menu is a good bet, and gives you a great array of their best dishes. Get a reservation early as they fill up. Definitely in the top 5 eateries in Omaha.

Service was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was elevated and unpretentious. The drinks were incredible. The price is right and a wonderful time to dress the part and enjoy being an adult!

This is an old review – but I figured with Valentine’s right around the corner why not post it!

I’ve been wanting to try Au Courant for quite some time, and seeing as I waited just a hair too long to make my Valentine’s reservations, I was happy to see Courant still had some late-night tables open.

To start things off, the location was perfect. A Valentine’s feast, with an adult entertainment store right across the street? How much better can it get

The atmosphere inside the building is fantastic. It plays on the exposed brick/mortar feel you get all over Benson and is just beautiful aesthetically. I love the giant wax towers throughout the restaurant from hundreds of melted candles all slowly dying. Sadly, my girlfriend won’t allow me to do the same around the house

We did arrive a bit early for our reservation, and were informed that things were running a little behind. No worries, we hit the bar and ordered some drinks. Our drinks at the bar were actually comped, and we were given several glasses of sparkling wine without us breathing a word of complaint. Customer service top notch guys, keep it up. Even without the free drinks we would have no qualms, it’s Valentine’s, you’re slammed, perfectly understandable.

Once we were seated, the courses started rolling out. The majority of the dishes and drinks were explain to us, but again, busy night, no worries. I could only assume on a normal business night you get that much better of service and explanations with your food.

Now, to the food itself! I’ve posted the menu for those curious on what it was we ate. I will say the star of the show in my opinion was the pork sugo gnocchi. The gnocchi was flawless, and the pork sugo was richz flavorful, and absolutely delightful. The dessert “dippin dots” were fun and delicious, and I wish I could have left with a stack of the little nougat bites that came out with the bill.

Did I mention the Chovys Egg? Good lord, can I get three or four next time?

One of the top spots in Omaha, without a doubt. Thanks for a great dinner!

The staff’s knowledge and passion for food and wine were evident throughout the evening, making the experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, adding to the overall charm of the restaurant.

If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience in Benson, I highly recommend the chef’s tasting menu with the wine pairing at Au Courant Regional Kitchen. It’s a gastronomic journey that will leave you delighted and satisfied.
