Council Bluffs was known, until at least 1853, as Kanesville. It was the historic starting point of the Mormon Trail.

We had brunch on a Saturday right when they opened, so no problem getting a table. The restaurant is in the very fun Capitol District and is "decorated" in what I call Euro-city-diner style, very spacious and bright with a lot of European touches. I had the omelette, an actual French omelette, not a stuffed American-style omelet (which I like, don't get me wrong) but one that was cooked with herbes fine and (because we only live once) topped with foie gras and micro greens. Delicious. And to think they actually have a brunch cook/chef who can make one of the most technique-intense dishes around. Very impressive. My wife had the "eggs in a basket" (the "basket" being a house-made brioche), which had wonderful texture and taste. The dark-roast coffee was good, the prices reasonable. By the time we finished, the farmers' market a block away was in full swing. A delightful way to spend Saturday morning in Omaha.
