Great food, Evan our server did a fantastic job. Recommend the brown butter old fashioned.

Was in town for the Nebraska football game and looking for a place for dinner after the game to allow traffic to settle down before heading for home. Had been here a few times several years back when in Lincoln and decided to return this time. Reservation was easy using the app. Selected the time we wanted for after the game without a problem. Quaint spot just south of downtown. Menu was still varied, with many options and daily specials. Ellie was our server and she was great. Personable, informative, and very friendly. I had the lobter bisque and my wife had a garden salad. Both were tasty. She ordered the seafood platter with salmon, crab cake and trout, served with risotto and asparagus. I had the crab crusted salmon with risotto, spinach and zucchini. Both meals were delicious with large portions. Desserts looked great but, no room after the entrees. Happy hour every day with drink and appetizer specials. We highly recommend this spot for date night, getting together with friends or for just a fun place to go. Thanks to Green Gateau for another good experience and a great meal.

It was a great experience. We loved sitting by the kitchen and seeing the magic happen. The staff were engaging and made great recommendations. The food was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.

Great dining experience all around. Love using OpenTable also to reserve a table before arriving at the resturant.

Nestled in the heart of the Old Market, Clio offers a dining experience that instantly transports you to the Mediterranean coast. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and perfect for a family-style meal, which is exactly how we enjoyed it. Our meal began with an assortment of four dips accompanied by fresh, warm pita bread. Each dip was bursting with flavor, setting the stage for what would be a truly memorable meal. For our mains, we shared the chicken kebabs, salmon kebabs, shawarma-spiced half chicken, and lamb tagine. Every dish was impeccably prepared and delicious, but the salmon kebabs were the standout. Their perfect seasoning and tender texture made them the star of the evening. To round out the meal, we indulged in the sticky toffee pudding with date ice cream—a dessert so divine it’s worth a visit to Clio on its own. Special mention to our server, Addison, who provided impeccable service. She was funny, sweet, attentive, knowledgeable, and contributed greatly to the wonderful dining experience. Clio is a gem for anyone looking for Mediterranean flavors served with warmth and flair. Highly recommended!
