I very rarely write reviews, especially for restaurants, but my experiences at Chef’s are well worth mentioning. First, this is a one of the kind restaurant in Lincoln, NE. I have been to Venue, and DISH, but the elegance of this setting is simply unmatched. The furnishings are in great taste–not being overly gaudy or simplistic–and the outside seating is a nice touch, as well. Secondly, the staff are always thoughtful and cordial. Very friendly and down to earth people. I enjoy taking my grandmother out to eat here, and we have always experienced courteous service. She loves this place. It is quite a nostalgic experience for her because, when she was younger, my grandfather would take her to the Officer’s Club, while he was based at Offutt AFB, and this place reminds her of that level of elegance that used to resemble 1960s Omaha. Thirdly, the food is always well-portioned, and beautiful in presentation–you almost don’t want to eat it–but as soon as you smell it you have a much easier time doing so. Always delicious. I also enjoy bringing family here from out of town. My uncle, and I had a great time eating here. He’s not a picky guy, but his wife has very specific tastes, and she had a wonderful experience here, as well. Finally, if there is ever something that is brought up to the wait staff they’re on it. For example, my grandmother always orders salmon, but her’s wasn’t fully cooked one particular time at the restaurant. She was brought out an entirely new, and fully cooked, piece within 10 minutes. The waiter apologizing profusely. Great service. Overall, great experiences. I would recommend this place to anyone, whether you’re working at the nearby mall selling clothes or getting off work from downtown or are from out of town and don’t have time to change into formal wear, but want an elegant experience nonetheless. Great place for any occasion. Chef is a one of a kind type of guy. You can learn an incredible amount of anything from him through a brief, and extremely friendly, conversation.

Seriously, delightful. This place hits on all cylinders– the atmosphere is like something out of a Parisian dream, the food is decadent, and the host charming.

This is my new favorite restaurant in Lincoln. The food was amazing, good quality, and all home-made. The chef came out and greeted every table individually. He was friendly and acted like a real person. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and fast. Fridays are Moroccan night. I would have never known what Moroccan food was without this restaurant and it was all very good and there was enough to bring home leftovers which reheated well. On the last Thursday of the month, they have dinner part with 4 courses that are each paired with a unique wine. I would most definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for an amazing experience, good food, and knows how to appreciate the work and joy that goes into it.

The French menu here is delightful, and the dishes do not disappoint! The wait staff are impeccable as is the atmosphere. Chef Karin came to personally check on us and inquire about our satisfaction. He is charming! We can’t wait to visit again and are looking forward to Mediterranean night. I would recommend Chef Karim’ s Place for date night, special occasions, or even just dessert and cocktails. Plan to stay a while to enjoy the experience.

Superb food and excellent service. The Chef made a special salad for me (without my asking and at no extra charge) because of a dietary allergy. The Chef also visited each table to welcome guests and again later to ask if we were happy with our food. This is a fine dining experience for a special occasion and so worth it! Go on Friday night and have the Marrakesh lamb!

We had a wonderful dinner with friends last night at Chef Karim’s, for the second time. The service was wonderful and the food was perfectly prepared. Chef Karim came out of the kitchen periodically to thanks his guests for coming, which was very nice. One of the couples with us had eaten there on Moroccan Night the previous Friday (offered 2 Fridays a month) and raved about it. We plan to go to the next one!

Wow what an excellent Dining experience. Our waitress was top notch! The food Fantastic we would suggest the rack of Lamb but the rib eye another excellent choice. Chef Karim takes the time to come out and visit with all the patrons.

Pat and I ate there last Friday: I had the salmon, Pat had the ribeye. We also had the shrimp appetizer which was especially awesome! Everything was not only excellent, but the flavors used in everything were exceptionally balanced. I told Chef Karim this is now the best restaurant in Lincoln. I suspect it will not be long before we will have to have reservations well in advance to get a table. An added bonus is, they are happy to accommodate any food allergies-just give them a little notice.

Chef Karim consistently provides hands down the best dining experience in town time after time. The food is of course amazing (must try his rack of lamb…best anywhere…and also his Moroccan feast), but what truly sets Karim apart is his personal touch. He makes us feel like family whether it is a quiet dinner for two or Sunday brunch for a family of nine! The experience at Karim’s is the closest thing I will ever have to my own personal chef. Thanks!
