- CCaylenNebraska •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWent here for a splurge date, and it was excellent. Good, stellar! Non-alcoholic drinks (were underage), stellar! I got the blueberry tonic. Our server, Molly, was outstanding. She remembered where we were from, gave us plenty of time, even for weird things we wanted to do, and very smooth (warning, that went both ways! For example, she put a bag between us to hide the check, so that was cool, but she also tried to upsell us a lobster tail at one point, so buyer be on your feet is all, they’re very slick and professional). She even took our picture for us! We had a great experience, and the whole ambience, food, and service together made it so much better! The ONLY complaint I have is it is a little cramped and loud. Thank you, Green Gateau!More infoGreen GateauPrice: Moderate• American• Lincoln•4.8
- JJimNebraska •20 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe go to lunch at Venue almost every Valentine's Day. We like that they don't have a pre fixe menu like other restaurants do on that day. The young lady that took care of us was Regan. She apologized several times because the wait for our appetizer and drinks was a little long. I had made our reservation for 12:30 pm hoping it wouldn't be as busy. However, it was still pretty full when we were there. We had great food and great service on a busy Valentine's Day.More infoVenue Restaurant & LoungePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Lincoln•4.7
