A Mediterranean Escape in the Heart of Omaha
When Flagship Restaurant Group unveiled the newest location of Clio Bar & Restaurant in West Omaha, Nebraska, the vision was clear: create a vibrant dining destination that transports guests to the Mediterranean from the moment they walk through the door. Officially opening on May 21, 2026, the restaurant combines playful design, warm hospitality, and elevated cuisine to deliver an experience that feels both sophisticated and effortlessly relaxed.
At the heart of the design is a carefully curated palette of pastel hues, bold graphic details, lush greenery, and natural materials. Together, these elements create an inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a coastal Mediterranean getaway, bringing a sense of escapism to the everyday dining experience.

Designing a vacation-like experience
From the moment guests enter the restaurant, they are immersed in a carefully curated environment that balances contemporary hospitality design with Mediterranean charm. The design embraces a palette of sun-washed colors and organic materials, creating a lively yet comfortable setting that encourages guests to linger. Whether seated in the dining room, enjoying drinks at the bar, or gathering with friends on the patio, visitors are surrounded by details that reference coastal European destinations without feeling overly themed.
