If there is one thing that Flagship Restaurant Group is good at, it is creating spaces where people love to hang out.
I have lots of memories tied to Flagship dining rooms, all the way back to when I first visited the original Blue Sushi location in west Omaha. Twenty-four years ago, when it opened in 2002, it wasn’t just a sushi joint. It was a place where 20-somethings like me — or people who I wanted to be — got dressed up and hung out to see and be seen. To feel cool.
We ate a few Crunchy Blue rolls alongside our Cosmopolitans, of course, but those rolls were only a small part of the point…
