fantastic, but.... my wife had some very bad mussels.
this is our first trip to omaha and i can't begin to say how impressed i am by la buvette and theselectionof restaurants in the old market. we started with the pate de campagne, which was delicious. studded with pistachios and served with grainy mustard and cornichons, this was a perfect start. our wine, which i picked from the store's shalves, was a wonderful spanish red from aragon.
my wife opted for the mussels and is paying the price for some bad ones. she did, however, enjoy them before they struck. i tried the ox tail, and found it the best since i'd last had it in spain.
the next time i'm in omaha, i'll be back at la buvette.
