    Arrived to eat brunch and the atmosphere is amazing along with their service! Florence was super nice and took great care of us! Started with coffee, very unique flavor, illy brand. They do notate GF on the menu for dishes that can be prepared GF, but ask your server what the substitution or elimination will be on the dish before ordering. They have gluten-free buns, cross-contaminated fryers, & sadly their hashbrowns have gluten ingredients . That being said, I ordered eggs Florentine which came on a gluten-free bun. Since I couldn't have hashbrowns i did order fries(I can handle some CC) but you can get fruit as a substitute. The flavors of the Florentine was absolutely scrumptious! I would order again! Others ordered chicken waffle & croque madame and they both said food was great. Portions seemed small but was filling. It is an elegant/casual/comfortable place. Its the Small things they did that i Loved! Example, servicing my coffee cup with a saucer & spoon! Love having a place to set my spoon after my stir and not on a table! 5 stars just for that!!! And im challenged to see the menu in dark lit rooms, it was well lite but they had the cutest touch lamps on the tables! Loved them!!! You can't tell by the outside how wonderful this restaurant is, go check it out!!!

    My wife and myself plus our son went here for my birthday recently. I had heard many good things and I was not disappointed. The service was a tad bit slow but acceptable. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will be going back. I personally had the fly and it was delicious!

    We absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was amazing, and the service was both attentive and fun. It's location can be deceiving, as it's a hidden gem in a strip mall...but don't let this one get by you!

    Best kept secret of Omaha cuisine! I was in town for business and needed a place to go for a group supper. Looking for “scratch” kitchen this popped up! We had no idea the delight our tastebuds were in for! Jessica our server was amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable and speedy with our group! The food was amazing! The cheese curds....steak, potatoes and salads with scratch dressings!!! Don’t forget the cronut dessert too! We tried all of them..... out of this world! We all thought to return the next night as well, but chose another place..... we all left that other place with frowns as Railcar spoiled us!

    One of my favorite restaurants in Omaha! I made reservations well in advance for mother's day brunch. The location is a bit unassuming as it's located in a strip mall next to a clothing alternation shop. But when you walk in, you'll find a relaxed and upscale environment. Our party of 6 was quickly seated and greeted. We all ordered different meals, but I only took a picture of mine, lol. The carnitas tacos were to die for, and no bits or pieces were left behind. We will surely be back!

    Went in last week and had both an excellent meal and great service. The food was all flavorful and well executed. The ambiance in the bar was delightful, and Rachel was personable and provided excellent conversation. Highly recommended!

    Just hosted a graduation brunch in their party room and it went off flawlessly. Jess and Troy were our attentive servers and made sure that out guests felt welcome and took care of anyone's needs. The food was amazing and we had no less than 15 guests rave how good the brunch buffet food tasted. Great food and great service is a definition of an event well done. Jen was the Manager that day and was great but the true stars were Jess and Troy. Ainsley gets a shout out as she is the Event Manager and she responds to all emails and questions promptly. Thank you for making the day special.
