So good - Edit
I happened upon Modern Love accidentally while in Omaha for 1 night, walked by right when they opened and was met by friendly staff, a cool location and really good food. A surprising and very welcome meal

Nice brunch despite missing items - Edit
We had a nice brunch here in Omaha, including a chicken-bacon (tofu and tasty mushrooms) ranch sandwich, a heaping plate of nachos, and matcha mint shake. The main disappointment was that a lot of the menu was out of stock, including almost all of the starters aside from the nachos. Hopefully that was a temporary issue!
Read morePros: Nice brunch spot, Generous portions

Simply perfection - Edit
I was very excited to try this restaurant, as I, like most vegans, am a big fan of Isa's cookbooks. It did not disappoint. The non-vegans I went with also loved it. One said it was the best meal she had in Omaha. I don't think you can go wrong with your order, so try whatever sounds good.

Perfection - Edit
Traveling through Nebraska and was so happy to find Modern Love. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with garlic and pesto. It was the best I’ve ever had. It came with toasty garlic bread and greens. Delicious. I took a slice of the peanut butter candy chocolate cheesecake back to the hotel room with a cup of oat milk. What a treat.
Read morePros: Not just your standard vegan options, Friendly service , Delicious and nicely presented.

Hard to choose just 1 thing! - Edit
It’s soooo refreshing to eat at a 100% vegan restaurant and not have to play 20 questions with the server about what you can eat. At Modern Love I still asked questions but they were delightfully focused on trying to narrow down my order to something other than “one of everything”.
Read moreFor the appetizer we ordered the Roasted Beat Hummus. All of the “dippers” complimented the hummus. We really liked the warm grilled pita bites. The hummus was pink which made it fun, and was not overwhelmingly “beety”.
My daughter ordered the Goddess Bowl and says it was a great blend of tangy and savory flavors that all worked well together.
I ordered the Mushroom Fried Chick’n which was a total comfort food experience and was hard to stop eating.
Neither of us could finish our meals so we even have leftovers for later.
My daughter (who is vegetarian) ordered the Peanut Butter Chocolate Shake as a “to go” dessert. She says it tasted like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup milkshake with no weird vegan taste :)
We’ll be back next time we visit Omaha for sure.

One of my favorites in the u.s - Edit
Since becoming vegan back in 2006-2007, Isa Chandra quickly became an influence as I owned a few of her cookbooks. So it goes without saying this place is amazing, everything made from scratch. I stop every chance I get, anytime I’m in Omaha. The food is the absolute best!! One of my top favorite restaurants in the country! I’ve only gotten food to go, one time I got a lunch special which was a very good value. The portions and everything is so amazing. The quality and flavor is top notch! Best burger I’ve ever had in my life! Everything is exceptional!

Always a 5-star experience!! - Edit
This place is nationally known and recognized for a reason! They offer an array of fun, solid, fully vegan meals and snacks! I especially love how they operate like a full-fledge bar and restaurant - with a full bar, wonderful cocktails and mocktails, and a proper happy hour with snacks and drinks. The restaurant is gorgeous. The food has *never* disappointed. An absolute must-visit!

Probably best around - Edit
This seemed like the place to try while passing through Omaha. The oyster mushroom chicken was tough to cut/eat, and served in a bowl with other ingredients that I would've preferred separated on a plate. I'd get something else next time. They were out of their house made vegan honee for drinks when I went.

Unexpected Vegan Oasis in Nebraska! - Edit
I found this place to be impressive in most every way! From the low-stimulating lighting & acoustics, great music at a reasonable volume, very friendly & knowledgeable staff, to the wonderful selection of delicious food!
Read moreWe got the fried mozz appetizer and WOW. It’s the least sticky/chewy vegan cheese I’ve ever had. So smooth & creamy, just like mozz.
I got the Alfredo and it was outstanding. I love that it came with a huge pile of arugula to break up the starchiness. I found the garlic bread to be mediocre, but I honestly didn’t even care because the rest of my meal was so delightful. My partner got the eggplant parm and loved it! It’s two pretty large pieces of eggplant and a large helping of pasta, as well as a salad!
The swanky Italian dishes were definitely Midwest-sized!
10/10
